*Meg wanders downstairs and into the bar, coffee mug in hand and tutu around her waist. And everyone subsequently dies of shock.*

Comments

*Meg cocks her head.* How's an automatic different?

[agirllost]

"Well a semi-automatic. It has a clip instead of a barrel."

[balletrat]

*Meg smiles and nods.* All I know is that when I load it and press the right button it kills monsters.

[agirllost]

"Do you kill a lot of monsters?"

[balletrat]

No, it was just the one time. *Meg shrugs.* Not too many monsters in Paris, unless you count the human sort. You never know what'll pop up, though.

[agirllost]

"Well, in my experience the human sort can be just as bad as any kind of creature from a nightmare."

[balletrat]

However, *Meg says wryly,* the human monster problems tend to be much more complicated than the nightmare-monster ones. Less easy to solve with a gun.

[agirllost]

"I don't know, I've seen a few human monsters taken down with guns. But usually, yes, that isn't legal."

[balletrat]

Not much good, *Meg agrees,* if you're going to get killed or carted off to jail yourself a moment later.

[agirllost]

"Well it's helpful if you *are* law enforcement. But it's still not right."

[balletrat]

*Meg makes a face.* We're not too big on the flics, in my part of town anyways - er, that's cops. French slang.

[agirllost]

Kim nods. "I can understand that, especially with the way that the government keeps changing."

[balletrat]

Exactly, *Meg says, and tactfully does not mention that her part of town includes several pickpockets, prostitutes, and generally un-law-abiding citizens.*

[agirllost]

"People in my time are pretty accepting of police, well, in most areas. There are still some areas where the cops are more dangerous than the criminals."

[balletrat]

In my time, *Meg says ruefully,* you've got two kinds of flics - the kind that are crazy insane bloodhounds, and the kind that take bribes and just don't care.

[agirllost]

"I wish I could say those types didn't exist anymore but...well, at least they're in the minority."

[balletrat]

*Meg grins.* I wouldn't have expected people'd change that much, in any case. Human nature stays the same.

[agirllost]

Kim grins in return. "Elaine said they haven't changed since her time all that much, either."

[balletrat]

After all, *Meg says, wryly,* we all manage to communicate somehow, right?

[agirllost]

"Right, no one's been reduced to drawing and pointing to get something across, I think."

[balletrat]

Except Echo, *Meg adds,* who couldn't talk.

[agirllost]

"I have yet to meet Echo."

[balletrat]

I haven't seen her around much lately - she's just got engaged, so I think she's spending time with her fiance.

[agirllost]

"A lot of people seem to be getting engaged," Kim notices.

[balletrat]

It's like a trend or something, *Meg agrees happily.* I get to bridesmaid lots.
