[John is not telling you how to make gunpowder, Ecks. He lies.]

I'm not sure. You buy bullets pre-made in my time, so you don't need to worry about making anything yourself.

[ecks]

[Why does no one here want to teach her how to make a bomb??]

the bullets are premade
things we find here are premade
have you seen any bullets in this place?

[She's suddenly developing a keen interest.]

[jumpthegun]

I haven't. Nor have I seen any guns. You'd need a gun to properly fire a bullet.

[ecks]

because if you hit the bullet when it was not in the barrel the explosion would not be controlled and contained and your hand would be blown up

[jumpthegun]

[Should he tell her it's difficult to set off a bullet without a gun? No, that would just complicate matters.]

Something like that, yeah. If you find a gun or bullets, let me know, and I'll explain a little more about how to use them, all right?

[ecks]

other weapons have all been taken away and put in the place underground.
I do not think we will find any guns on the surface
maybe bullets, though

[jumpthegun]

Maybe. We'll keep an eye out.

Why did you want to know about guns, anyway?

[ecks]

your Sherlock mentioned guns but would not explain
I wanted to know what it meant.

and also I want him to know that his information is only valuable if he will provide it before I get it from a different person

[jumpthegun]

[John wonders if it's worth it to tell her Sherlock isn't 'his.' Well, he can try.]

Ecks, you can just say Sherlock. He's the only one here. You don't need to specify that he's mine. There are other connotations people get when you put it that way.

And I'm glad you're standing up to him. Sorry, he's a bit of a bully sometimes. Feel free to come to me if there are things he won't explain in the future. I usually fill in for him when he's being a git.

[ecks]

is he your boyfriend?

[She should probably clarify that with at least one of them before she goes on assuming. After all, she was apparently wrong about Duster and Alfie.]

now he is saying that I am a liar
I think I am glad he is the only Sherlock here

[jumpthegun]

[Ecks, network stalk him a little more, please. He's been over this.]

No. No, he's not my boyfriend. He'd just like people to think he is to make his life easier. [And John's more difficult.]

I can yell at him, if you'd like. Mostly he just wants the last word in an argument, though. If you let him have it, he'll leave you be for the time being.

[ecks]

yell at him he is a liar he lied he said that i was a liar but he is the liar and i will not help him and i will not trade with him because he is a liar and i want you to yell at him
