[Ken's in the training gym and he looks... displeased. He huffs in annoyance, the orange-clad preteen with a look on him that seems more solidly 'angry teenager' than anything else.]

I've had to explain this a number of times so I might as well just tell everyone so people can stop being surprised and freaked out.

[He holds up a - well it looks like a gun.]

I know what this looks like. It looks like a gun. It isn't a gun. No bullets.

[He steps back so there's a better view and he aims it towards a dummy, pulling the trigger. Not even really a click from the 'gun'.]

It's called an Evoker, it lets me use my powers. I'm not shooting myself. I'm just going to start hanging a sign in the hallway near the entrance to the car when I'm going to be training so people stop trying to save me from my own abilities and probably hurt me while doing it.

[He holds up a neatly handwritten sign that says 'NOT A REAL GUN IN USE'. He puts the paper down and grumbles.]

It makes a gunshot noise, but it's not hurting me. I'm just saying this so I can actually practice.

... I mean I can show whoever if you want, but I'm just tired of explaining.

[And the ICP message finishes.]

[[If you want to hit him up in the training gym you're more than welcome to make an action tag!]]

Romeo walked into the gym half way through Ken's speech. He didn't spend a lot of time here, it was usually full with adults who he didn't want to get in the way of.

It's not an adult in there now but a boy just a little older than he is, probably. He's seen him around the last couple of weeks but they hadn't spoken yet, the train had a lot of people and things had been chaotic with lots of people being small!

When he finished his message Romeo spoke, from where he had waited at the door, not wanting to interrupt.

"Did people get mad at you for using it?"

He didn't really understand how a gun let someone use powers, but he's seen many strange things both here on the train and before in the heavens.

[Books use the ICPs now, you know. Talking books with faces. That isn't weird, is it?]

Uh, look. As a demon and an Overlord, I've seen things you can't believe or imagine. So when I say that symbolically shooting yourself to use your powers is really messed up, that's saying something.

Eight is not a fan of self-harm, but she knows that sometimes you have to do what you have to do to make things work. Still, she feels a demonstration would help clear up the confusion and so makes her way to the gym to quietly watch him.

Ken may find a strange girl with octopus tentacles for hair leaning against a wall looking at him, not especially saying anything. Just. Staring.

...so why does it look and sound like that then?

[ Ple Two believes him, don't get her wrong, but that's worrying. ]

Seems like an awful joke.
