Ah. Engineering was never something I excelled at. [Hikage was a natural, but never him.] I have a forge in my house for metalwork. It won't be difficult making something like that. Maybe I should make one, actually. It would give you a bit of an advantage. It would be above whatever is available in this world. [1950s security wasn't great, in all honesty. Tsukikage was far in the future from this. He couldn't rig up an electronic security systems, but he could mix metals and reinforce far better than what they could get here.]

Magic... yes, that is tricky. And Light Magic is hard to come by. Honestly, no I haven't. Usually I would ask Mana for such things, or at least some free advice. There must be some way to do it though. What kind of magic are you worried about in particular? Elementals? Shadow? [He considers asking about teleportation but figures it's not necessary to make Light paranoid about something people can't even get.]

[andeatit]

[The lack of advancement in security manners is one thing that has been plaguing Light. He wanted a security system, he wanted reinforced doors and windows. He'd always been paranoid, but it was reaching new heights.]

Thanks, I would appreciate anything you can make, and I'll pay you for your time. It really will go a long way in making me feel more comfortable.

As for the magic, teleportation is the largest worry. A faerie would need to make a ring inside first, but a demon can teleport. Beyond that, shades can move through walls.

[intercalaryninja]

If you insist. I do not require a charge for friends, especially with affairs I can help with such as this. [But he's not going to deny payment. He's the one that brings in the money for the household after all.]

I can handle shades. I'll need to do a couple of experiments with my roommate, but I should be able to block them off. For demons... well... I 'acquired' a pistol and some bullets blessed with holy magic in Vandare. I know they work. [Thanks Mello.] I'm not sure what else I can do, but I'll look into it.

Tsukikage, Light loves you

[andeatit]

[Light notices the distinction, but he doesn't mind. His offer to pay Tsukikage had been sincere rather than merely polite. So, he nods. They'd talk money later. The promise had been made and accepted.]

That would be immensely helpful. As for the weapon, is it something you can duplicate? If there's only one and it's in your possession, it wouldn't be able to help me in an emergency situation.

he only does the best for his friends

[intercalaryninja]

It's not, but I have more than one gun. Back when Vandare wasn't divided but still hostile, I tended to do a lot of vigilante work. I confiscated a large number of weapons from civilians. I can give you one of those guns and some of my holy bullets.

[He does consider giving Light all of it, but then remembers that sort of generosity tends to be unwise, even if he does trust the man. Tsukikage dislikes guns himself, but even if he doesn't use it, he wants to keep one at hand.]>/small>

Light approves

[andeatit]

[Slowly, Light nods.]

Then, I'll take you up on that offer. I'm hesitant about owning a gun without a license, but as a monster, it's not something I can legally obtain.

[The next smile is a bit more wider and looks easier than the last.] It sounds like I've relied on the right person.

[intercalaryninja]

Indeed. There are a number of rules we have to compromise due to our status. I'll have it delivered to you some time in the next week.

[He smiles back at Light and bows his head.] If you can think of any more suggestions or ideas to add on top of that, please do not hesitate to ask. I'm sure I can implement it somehow or another.

[andeatit]

No, all of your suggestions sound logical. Ah, I suppose we can reinforce the windows with decorative bars. I'll speak with the building manager, but the new additions would only make it possible to charge more when the next tenant moves in. That, in addition to your ideas, should probably go a long way in making me feel safer.

[Though, it would be hard to feel completely safe in a world where magic was real. Or, at least science so advanced that it still seemed like magic.]

[intercalaryninja]

Mmm... [He's also considering putting in traps for the fire escape, but that may endanger tenants in the event of an actual fire. He'll have to think of a way around that before bringing it up with Light.]

I'm glad then. I'll get started soon enough. Give me time to collect the materials and I'll begin implementing them all in as soon as possible.

[andeatit]

[He offers Tsukikage a warm smile.]

I keep saying thanks, but I do mean it. I'll say it with money when the bill comes too, but I know you're doing this out of kindness and money hadn't been a consideration. So...thank you again. If I can return the favor, you'll let me know?

[intercalaryninja]

[He bows. He's only happy to help. Light has contributed much to Ryslig on whole and as a friend. This is how he can contribute as well.]

Of course. I'll let you know if anything arises. Thank you as well, Light.
