Name: The Lone Wanderer

Format: audio

[ Lex has been quiet for some time - busy for parts, sick for others. But the items spilling out of the mirrors this morning has stirred her out of bed, and the item she has received- well.

Well, it's worth saying something. ]

Did anyone- [ a pause, a cough; her voice is raspy from disuse ] -did anyone else get something... potentially hazardous?

[ Potentially. Ha. As Lex stares at the item in front of her, potentially seems incorrect. ]

I need to get rid of this, [ she mutters, and then the connection cuts. ]

((ooc: hi guys! my concussion is finally healing, so Lex and I are back in the swing of things! if you want to hit me up, send me a message either via pm, on plurk gadgetsandgears, or discord gadgets#7461))

[ She laughs, then coughs. ]

You probably could, [ Lex agrees. It's a thought that amuses her, until Maria asks. ]

...a weapon, of sorts.

[whomthebelltolls]

Are you feeling alright? [First things first, that cough.

Second things... well.]

And... what kind of a weapon? "Of sorts" is not inspiring courage.

[lonewanderer]

Been sick.

[ and she has a nuke in her house ]

Remember what I told you about where I'm from?

[whomthebelltolls]

Mm, well, if you're feeling better now. [Aw she cares. Well, maybe like... 2% more since she got her head knocked. It seems to have changed something.

... Or maybe that's just the culmination of several more months of character development.]

You have told me many things. Which one specifically? Aside from that it's a wasteland.

[lonewanderer]

Getting there, at least. [ Awww, Maria. ]

The radiation.

[ Lex could absolutely be more cagey, and likely would be if not for the fact that she knows and likes Maria... but that doesn't mean she wants to spill everything. ]

[whomthebelltolls]

... So I assume this weapon has something to do with that, then. [Not a hard leap of logic to make, of course.] What do you think needs done about it? I assume you wouldn't have said anything if merely locking it in a room and hiding the key was going to suffice.

[lonewanderer]

I need to deactivate it. And then take it apart, probably. But the radioactive part... that needs to be disposed of, and I'm not sure how.

[whomthebelltolls]

Hmm... do you know how they did it in your home? I assume they had some kind of containment for it, correct?

[lonewanderer]

Lead lining. But it's not a permanent solution; disposal involved a lot of... leaking.

[whomthebelltolls]

Lead... the metal? Hm. I suppose it would be a little difficult to find much of that, here. [A wrinkle of her nose.] ... I cannot say I am much use for ideas, considering my unfamiliarity with the material in question. I hope someone else here can offer a better idea. It does not sound like something we should have close at hand.

[lonewanderer]

Better in our hands than in others, but... yeah. I'd prefer it not be here at all.

[whomthebelltolls]

If it is as dangerous as you say, I think most of us would share that sentiment. If magic can do something about it, then that would be ideal, but if not... well, I hope someone can figure it out.

[lonewanderer]

I don't like the idea of relying on magic to fix all my problems, but... guess there's not a lot of choice in this case.

[whomthebelltolls]

It's convenient enough, here, and if it works, perhaps it is worth the shot. I'm sure you'll find a capable Witch you can trust for the job.

[This list does not, by default, include Maria. She is more concerned with honing combat skills rather than anything that may help with something like that. Sorry Lex.]

[lonewanderer]

The Witch I'm Bonded with has some ideas, at least.

[ And she can psychically find him if he betrays her, yay! Not that Lex thinks it'll come to that, but it's nice to know. ]

[whomthebelltolls]

Good. May they work.

[That's about as far as she can make, at least. Everything else is wildly out of her wheelhouse, but please don't nuke the city, Lex.]
