Okay as far as dual welding we will have to make sure the weapon types match like two swords or two guns.


Aww, that's no fun.

Pirates, musketeers, and knights got away with gun and sword in accord. Jim Bowie even did it with a knife and a revolver at the Alamo, and look how he ended up!

...Well, dead. But my point still stands.
Plus, at least one of mine is gonna dual-wield so there's that.
I'll join.

I'll throw out some ideas once I get to a proper keyboard.
I'll try Idea 2. Sure.
BANG!

"Now, sir," Abaddon started, dropping his aim, "I know I've neglected to tell you this earlier, but there's only a handful allowed to call me by that name. You, sir, are not one."

....Surprisingly, there weren't any holes in Yaozu or Rei after that fired shot, just something that seemed to be a vibration of the temple after the ceiling took a bullet. However, anybody could and would swear that he had holstered his gun earlier. The fact it was back in his hands... and a completely different model of firearm was rather odd. Rather than a revolver, it seemed to be a single-shot weapon, with a large caliber and a distinct lack of cylinder or magazine.

"And sir, I don' think you understand what it means to be a gunslinger. We don' take any pride in our shootin'."

As he spoke, Abaddon nonchalantly broke the gun, removing a rather large bullet casing - something that looked like it belonged to a rifle instead of a handgun - and replacing it with an identical one on his belt, loading the gun with a flick of the wrist and a satisfying CLICK!. He then placed the weapon in its holster under his arm as if he hadn't placed a bullet into the ceiling.

"You see sir, you're s'posed to fire your shots, not admire 'em. If you take too much pride in your skills, you get careless an' die."

Abaddon unlatched a flask of liquid from his belt and tossed it to Yaozu, "Catch."
"I guess you could say something like that," Yukimura explained vaguely, before continuing to a more specific explanation, "I've just played enough MMORPG's to know how things work. That's all." And with that all explained away, he remained quiet, allowing their stroll down the pathway to town to continue in silence. It went on like so until Lily spoke up again, this time about stopping for a meal and her own <<Cooking>> skill. Yukimura shook his head, though how effective that was with his hood up was debatable. "No. The woods isn't a safe zone. Monsters might not be the only thing out and about. Player killers could be skulking around. No matter what game you play, if there's a multiplayer aspect, somebody's going to get bloodthirsty."

Just then he noted somebody call out to them and placed a hand to his blade sheath at his back. Upon noting it wasn't even a threat what with only 12% HP, he calmed down. "Yes," Yukimura answered simply.
"Heh," Abbadon grinned. It was a sharkish thing, not unlike one that would be seen on someone who was out for blood. However, the Morallean gunslinger definitely wasn't some sort of bloodthirsty warrior. "You're insane, ma'am... and that's jus' the attitude I can respect," Abaddon continued, bending his elbow and raising his firearm to the ceiling as he had done before. See? He could be reasonable-ish. He still didn't holster the weapon, however.

Abaddon twirled the revolver on his finger, completely discounting how stupidly dangerous that was with a loaded gun, "Too bad your amigo's right - And don' think I'll jus' go down from a lost hand, ma'am." Finally, the cowboy holstered his white revolver and turned to the burly monk trying to keep the peace. "But you, sir, are a yellow-bellied coward. If you're truly an ally, then why din't you do anything but talk," Abby scowled at Yaozu, "And ever call me a 'lil one' again, and I'll show you jus' what this 'lil one' can do."
Steampunk Mechs and Psychics? That's the vibe I'm getting from this, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

What's the world like outside the Orphanage?
"That may be so, but if you're at 10% HP and I'm at 30%, it's only that much easier for an enemy to kill you," Yukimura explained with an example before continuing, "it's better if I'd be at 25%, and you'd be at 25%. Or me at 10% and you at 30%." It was rather odd, but it didn't seem that the swordsman put much care in how much HP he had, and was more concerned with how much HP Lily had. Though perhaps that could be chalked up to him being a higher level than her.

Yukimura scanned their surroundings once more before finally sheathing his blade. If he noticed Lily's flustered blushing, he didn't remark on it. Rather, he just set off on the road. "Better safe than sorry," he said, nodding in affirmative, "Let's head to town and recuperate before we get caught in a fight we can't win."
