Vena looked at the woman's projection with interest. They looked a good deal alike. She was intrigued by it, but said nothing. She didn't react to Grave's antics, but reached for a gun herself, as well as a ring. As she examined it, she realized it would fit well around her wrist, so she slipped it on. It shrunk slightly, and she examined it more closely. "What the heck?" But she tried not to call attention to herself.
The old man watched the group with curiosity. He'd never seen the likes of these people anywhere. Some of them looked relatively normal, but a few of them looked like they had come out of movies. "This must be a test," he mumbled to himself. "A test of my faithfulness." He sat against a wall for support, more out of habit than need, for he hadn't felt this good in decades.
Tendou watched Brandon move. She could tell he knew these weapons well, even though they had just appeared. She chuckled at Mr. Fisk's outburst. She had been watching Grave closely, and had seen the object he took out of the weapon, but didn't really know what it did. She picked up one of the strange weapons and examined it, unsure of how to operate it. She thought she might ask him, but was a little shy to do so.
Tenma did the asking for her. "Hey," she said to anyone who would listen. "How do you use one of these?" She held up her own.

Grave had just finished reloading his pistols when Tenma voiced her question... He didn't really like the idea of teaching a young girl how to use the weapon and had even let Mika learn on her own in hopes that she would give up, but everyone here was obviously going to end up fighting to some extent. Grave walked over to the table, sat down in his earlier spot, and laid both pistols out on the table in front of him.
"I will teach you what I can about these weapons..." Grave preferred not to talk very much but the situation required his voice to be heard. The pistols had the standard trigger safety eliminating one of the more complicated parts of his explanation. The giant waited for both of the young ninja to focus their attention on the firearms before he removed the clips and tried his best to explain what the bullets were to the young girls. After a while of searching for the best comparison he compared them to small arrows or throwing knives.
He then explained loading and firing as well as the basics of sighting and alignment. As a final example Grave removed the clip from one of the guns and pointed it at a spot on the wall and pulled the trigger. The gun clicked and Grave rocked his hand back with the imaginary recoil.

The three girls all listened to the explanation of the guns with interest. They all knew that the weapons would be necessary in some way, they just had no idea what yet.
Tendou realized they were somewhat similar to something that was being researched in an allied village that would have the capability to shoot out kunai, and she mentioned as much to Tenma. However the guns were much smaller than anything that could have been built at the time.
Vena watched from a bit of a distance, having not been invited. But she looked at her own gun on the table and learned quickly the relative simplicity of the weapon.
After the explanation was over, Tenma asked her second question. "Now what about these things?" She held up one of the rings.
Vena cleared her throat and pointed to the one around her wrist.
The twins turned to look at her and then put theirs on, first Tendou then Tenma. They both also shrunk down a bit, as though to fit the size of their wrists.
Tendou looked at Brandon. "We don't know what they do yet, but it couldn't hurt, right?"
"They're actually quite fashionable," Vena said with a smirk, looking at her own. It wasn't obvious whether she was being sarcastic or not.

Grave nodded to the comment about the bracelets... It really couldn't hurt. At least not at the moment, and if it became a problem he could shoot his off. He only worried about the possible qualities of the bracelet... It could simply be a marker or tracker but it could be anything by the current look of things.
Grave shrugged and pulled the bracelet out of his pocket.. it had grown since he had last handled it but the pocket was for carrying his Cerberus and was easily large enough for the bracelet. He slid the bracelet over his hand and watched it shrink in on his wrist.

(( This post is in response to what happened earlier ))
Jack was looking at fisk who was about to speak. He hoped it was to answer his question. But then fisk screamed something, and hit the dirt. Jack acted accordingly he turned gun drawn, and aimed at the largest man. He was about to pull the trigger when he noticed that even though he was waving his gun around. They seemed to be empty, so there was no immediate threat. But after he had finished jack approached him " what the hell is your ******** problem." " I almost shot you cause you felt the need to show off."
After he had calmed down he pulled up a chair to the table, and listened to him explain the guns. Though he need no explanation he watched anyway. He turned to fisk the only one who had not grabed a gun yet " are you going to take one." He tilted his head slightly to indicate the guns on the table. He then put on the bracelet he had picked up earlier.

(( now for D ))
D had not been alarmed when grave began his dance. He had walked to the table pulled up a chair, and sat down . This was the first time he had come so close to the others. He did not pick up a gun since such was not his specialty. He then began to examine the bracelets.

Fisk, embarressed by his actions, slowly picked up one of the rings and started to tug on it alittle. "The hell..." He turned to the new guy. "I know how to use one, but from the look of that creature I feel I can take it out with my bare hands." He said with a grin. Unlike the others though, he didn't put it on, but instead slipped it into his coat pocket. If I need it I will have it, but if it turns out deadly for one of the others then he'll simpy disgard it.

GRave was once again a silent statue sitting at the side of the table... He had his weapons and that was all he required, but he did feel the need to respond to the new blood's earlier question. "If you would have shot me it would have hurt but I wouldn't have died... I have been shot more times than you could count... I am, Beyond the Grave."

"What the hell?" Tenma cried out. She was looking at D and pointing. D was slowly fading. It wasn't long before he was gone all together. Tendou was next, then Tenma herself. Fisk followed moments later, then Grave, then Vena, followed by the old man, and finally Jack was the last to leave the room.
((RP your reactions before I begin the appearances outside.))

Grave noticed D fading a quickly began grabbing weapons and items from the table and shoving them into his jacket pockets... When he actually began to fade he was staring at the lantern that he had snatched from the center of the table wondering if it could be useful; he also had a pillow under his arm.

D looked down at himself when one of the twins had said something. He did not appeared shocked, but did not put on the bracelet. What now he thought, as he just watched himself disappear.
Jack watched in horror as everyone disappeared, and only he was left. He quickly garbed the gun Fisk should have taken. He put both in his jacket pockets, and then watched as he disappeared.

Fisk eyes slammed one fist into the other as he began to fade away. He was determined to prove to this Morphea what he was no mere man she could just toy with, and he planned on doing it with just his bare hands.

A forest spanned the area to one side and a meadow to the other. In the distance, mountains could be seen faintly. It was about noon, by the height of the sun. Everyone faded into place in the order they had faded out.
Tendou looked around her, confused. "Tenm-" she started to cry out for her twin, but was relieved to find that Tenma appeared right next to her moments later. She grasped her twin's hand. Tenma just looked at her, she didn't even seem upset by the gesture, which she normally would have been. "What's going on?"
When Vena appeared, she checked around again for her violin, hoping that it would be here. She held up her gun and spoke to it. "I guess you'll have to make due," she told it.
The old man appeared, looking quite a bit startled. His reaction timing was horrible. He was probably senile before he came to this place. Tendou realized that this must mean that while their bodies were fully repaired, any damage to their minds would not be. She wondered about Mibu-sensei and Tahashi-sensei for a moment and then shook her head. They survived. She would have to believe that.

Grave appeared off the the left and just behind the twins. He didn't like the idea of the young girls being forced to fight, but they had little choice. He, however, did have one more option left.
Grave dropped his pillow cushion, tossed all the items had had grabbed on top of it, set the lantern down beside the cushion, and began moving forward past the twins. He had a pistol in both hands and was slouching; staring at the ground ahead as he walked.
Grave hoped to end this as quickly as possible...
