Hello. My name is Graham Casner, and as we all seem to be stuck here for the moment, I'd like to get a headcount and collect a few other potentially useful details. A record of who's here will let us know if anyone goes missing, and the benefit of cataloging what skills we have amidst the group should speak for itself.

In my day to day non-bullshit life I work as an adventure/survival guide; while I can't say for sure how much call we'll have for those services consider me on call for any questions about how to use what we have on hand. I also possess some experience in basic home maintenance, though for anything beyond simple electric/plumbing issues you're out of luck.

To sum up: please reply with your name and any skills, abilities, or otherwise you see as beneficial to our survival. Don't discount what might seem frivolous at first; creature comforts can go a long way.

Thank you for your time.

If you mean the sorts with out cultivation or talismans, they're mostly for showy displays. Lights and colors and whatnot.

You're telling me you've weaponized them? Can you show me?

( 'you' as in 'your world and/or time', not graham casner personally. )

Everything but the actual firing part. The gas station doesn't exactly stock bullets.

[casner]

[ oh right ]

Bullets are the crux of the weaponized element. Explosive and able to be delivered at high speed.

[ please let that make enough sense for him not to have to dive into the ballistics expert part of his vocabulary, because that is not particularly likely to clear things up. ]

[mannerless]

( no, no, that explanation is perfectly fine. )

I suppose these bullets are trickier to craft than arrows?

( because wei wuxian (and any cultivator worth their salt) could craft arrows in a pinch, but arrows are also not intended to work with explosives, so. )

[casner]

In the simplest sense, no, especially not with spent shell casings to recycle. In practice we lack all the required materials and tools, unless someone finds a stash of primers somewhere.

[mannerless]

( there are a lot of things he could ask - for example, whether or not he's understanding correctly that 'bullets' are explosives in some sort of reusable shell, or what primers might look like if he were to find them.

none of those things are really helpful beyond curiosity's pursuit at the moment. and so, )

I'll keep watch for bullets, then.

[ graham indulges in a hearty, if hollow chuckle. ah. hope. ]

You might as well look out for a unicorn to fly us all out of here, but thank you.
