Fredegund turns the page to her textbook before putting another rabbit sticker onto her newest companion, simply referred to as Gun for the time being. A companion acquired from careful negotiation with Silas, whom found the standard issue rifle from the Chthonic Empire. Said Gun, who's only once been referred to a Rooty-Tooty Point 'n' Shooty, is adorned with stickers of kittens made of bread, plump bunnies, and fat sheep. To help set it/him apart from other rifles Fred may encounter in the future, she reasoned. The gun sits on Fred's lap as she wonders how on earth is she going to keep this gun happy enough to augment its abilities, as promised. She looks around from the grassy hill she's seated on. She can't imagine when she'll get the opportunity to use it on someone. She can't just open fire on random classmates, agents, and peers. She's not sure if she should just carry the gun everywhere in case of a serendipitous occasion. Would this rifle work on robots if she brought it into the Tutorial? She sighs... Unlike the fossil in her pocket, who was happy enough to simply speak its mind when the time felt right, the gun had a purpose to fulfill, much like how a pet would have needs. Such a responsibility.

"It's easy to clean off sticker adhesive, but how would I identify you then? How am I supposed to tie a ribbon onto you? What if another rifle has your voice?"

She bets other guns have similar scratches. "Now now... No need to shout. I simply haven't been with you long enough to know you inside and out. I don't think you can work on robots...

In a moment of self-consciousness, she blushes. "I can explain. It's my ability. I can talk to all sorts of things. Like this gun." She looks down at it. Then back up at Dan.

Her power....to...talk to things? Wait things are conscious? "A-actually I kinda do. You talk to things?" That....would be a weird thing to have. But at least....it wouldn't hurt anyone.

If Gun knew enough history to know who Fredegund was named after... Oh Gun. She looks back down at the rifle. The adorable-sticker-clad rifle.
