They're Coming to Get You, Guybrush!

Who: Guybrush, and Others.
Where: Prompt A: In his apartment. Prompt B: Any given place around town, but especially Sagittarius and Virgo
Summary: Guybrush Threepwood, Jumpy Pirate.
Warnings: Connected to the Scorpio event.
A: [PUBLIC; Apartment Libra |5-04]

The sound of things being shifted around can be heard in Guybrush's apartment. It's hard to imagine what he could be doing in there, but he's not coming out either way. Is he redecorating or something? The door's locked, so if anybody wants to ask about it, knocking is a requirement. What IS he doing in there?

B: [PUBLIC; Around town]

Anybody who's gotten to know Guybrush at all knows the guy tends to prefer using extremely convoluted solutions to things before he dares dream of using something like a weapon. Yet here he is, hitting up all the weapon stores in town, trying to haggle folks down and interest them in trades for "something that's real good against intruders." And failing, generally, because mostly what he's got is an assortment of useless junk. Well, and a sword, which you'd think is good against intruders, but apparently isn't good ENOUGH. Every so often, too, he's peeking around corners as if expecting something to jump out.

VERY weird.

He grimaces.

Stop feeding into his paranoia, bro. He's a leo just like you.

"Then use that if you can't afford another." Though looking around here for a weapon isn't a bad idea. The rough crowd around here likes to make weapons stashes thicker than a rat's nest, but you have to be confident enough to risk getting jumped. "But try the stalls in Virgo. They like to sell shit the tide dragged in from hell knows where."

Or maybe he could whine Q's ear off until he got something. He had been handing out weapons before.

And he will never know there is a problem. He just continues to grimace like a natural. Moves a little further out of the alleyway.

"And? What makes you so sure?"

As much as he'd like to call the other man out on his paranoia, he can't. Hell, it wasn't even a bad leap in logic considering the circumstances. Demons roaming the streets, and that city in Gemini that was far too much like Tartarus.

"Maybe." Better to be cautious, anyway. Tch. "You want a different weapon that badly?"

"Maybe you should just stick with a sword." If Guybrush refers to bombs and other weapons like that, should he really be allowed to use one? Might just hurt himself. And if he's so paranoid about his sword breaking (must be a really shitty sword), he probably shouldn't be fighting at all.

Didn't he have a sensing Persona anyway?

He just pauses and stares at him for two very long seconds. "You saying you want to try?"

His answer being yes, he's sure they can. Insulted by something Guybrush says, however, is another matter entirely.
