Are there any gunsmiths in this place? Or people who can do magic-type shit to fix guns?
[She knows there's a bunch of you weirdoes with wizardy powers.]
Nothing urgent or anything; I just wanted to know for later. I've got a pair of customized Beretta 92FS's that I'd hate to lose.
[She did go get them tuned up at Praiyachat's after the shitstorm with Roberta died down, and outside of regular cleaning and maintenance she actually hasn't used her guns much in the past few months ever since she learned to work the Battle Dome. But given the types of confrontations she tends to get into, it's only a matter of time before something happens to her beloved cutlasses again.
...right, she's forgetting something, isn't she?]
Obviously there's no money here, so lemme know what you want me to do to pay up. No bedroom shit, though, so get those thoughts outta your head if they're in there.

Holy shit. You're Luke Skywalker.
[Is she hallucinating? She has to be hallucinating. Why else would Luke Skywalker be offering her gun help. She barely even registers the "no payment" part.]
[Video]
Who are you?
[His tone, by the way, is so, so, so dry.]
[Video]
You're...really Luke Skywalker? You're not just Mark Hamill pulling the wool over my eyes? I'll fucking kill you if you're blowing smoke up my ass.
[Whoops, sorry about skipping over more of his words. She's still a little shocked.]
[Video]
[He sounds vaguely annoyed, but not upset.]
And you are?
[Video]
...Revy.
[Okayokayokayokay, time to get down to business
to defeat the Hunsand chalk this up to Just Another Fuckin' Weird Thing About Luceti.]So, not that I'm not ungrateful for your help or anything, but...wouldn't my guns be a little too primitive for the stuff you're used to?
[Video]
I've been here two years, I've gotten used to projectile firearms. And I had Artoo develop some subroutines for them.
[Video]
Really. [Her tone isn't disbelieving or skeptical; rather it's the tone of someone who really is not sure what else to say.]
Well, okay. I'll, uh, keep you in mind, then.
[Video]
You've seen the movies, then?
[Video]
Yeah, once. When I was a kid.
[It happened to be playing at a movie theater that Revy was hanging out in to hide from truancy officers.]
[Video] Filtered
[He pauses]
Don't mention them to my father. Anakin is here. Not Darth Vader, but Anakin. Young man, curly hair, a little taller than me.
[Video] Filtered
[Revy's eyes widen a bit again. Shit, this is getting serious.]
Uh...same eye and hair color, though, right?
[As soon as the words are out of her mouth she could kick herself for how stupid it sounds, but. If she's going to be helping out Luke Skywalker she'd want to do it right.]
[Video] Filtered
Basically, I'm just not sure he's ready to hear anything about his future. Anakin's relationship with the Dark Side is tenuous, and he's got a temper. Wouldn't want to see anyone hurt, especially him.
[Because Force only knows Anakin could seriously mess up the village. Any of the Skywalkers could, with their sheer Force potential, but Anakin was the one with the least control and the worst track record.]
[Video] Filtered
I...well, okay, sure. If you're gonna be helping me out with my shit, I can help with yours.
[Rock would be shitting himself with laughter if he could see how discombobulated Revy has been for this entire conversation.]

I'll meet ya in the Battle Dome. You wanna see 'em now?
[Video] Filtered
[Video] -> [Action]
Yeah. See ya.
***
[Revy lives closer to the Battle Dome than Luke, so she's likely to be there before him. She's leaning against a wall on the first floor, arms crossed and smoking a cigarette.]
[Action]
Hey there. Revy, yeah?
[Action]
[Revy glances up.]
Yeah.
[She glances at him up and down, appraising his threat level the same as she does with anyone new that she sees or meets -- and sometimes even those she already knows. It's her basic survival instinct, honed by years on the street.]
[Action]
And he is, of course, smiling and offering a hand.]
Afternoon then. I'm Luke.
[Action]
[Revy eyes his hand with suspicion and a touch of bewilderment. She has little patience for social niceties, so she usually ignores any such displays offered by other people, and besides that there are very few people crazy enough in Roanapur to interact with Revy Two-Hand more than is necessary. Which includes something even as innocuous as a handshake.
There are other reasons for turning down handshakes in a shithole like Roanapur, too. You never know where people's hands have been in such a dirty town.
But these are...extenuating circumstances. She should at least indulge a person who's
Luke Skywalkerable to help her keep her cutlasses in tip-top shape, right?There's no smile when Revy returns the handshake, but it's less of a hostile expression and more just her being linefaced for business reasons. Because that's what this is, a business transaction. Even if there's no money involved.]
Here. [In a swift motion, she unholsters one of her guns and holds it out for Luke to inspect.]
[Action]
When the gun is offered, he takes it and looks it up and down, making an impressed sort of sound.]
Yeah, I can take care of it. It doesn't look like it needs much more than routine maintenance. But if it breaks down or jams, yeah, I can definitely get it running. It's got a good grip on it, too. You have two of them?
[Action]
[The robotic grip, gentle though it is, still throws Revy for a bit of a loop. But this time she keeps her surprise in check.
At Luke's question, Revy nods, but she doesn't draw the second one. She'll hand it over if he asks to see it, but she's antsy about being completely disarmed.]
Yeah. I like having backups.
[Never mind that she dual-wields them simultaneously.]
[Action]
The other one in the same condition, then?
[Action]
[Upon getting the first gun back, Revy produces the second for Luke to verify. She's pretty sure it is, but she figures it'd be best not to take chances.]
