I'm perfectly aware that this isn't as interesting as the usual things that pop up here, but I figure there's an audience for what I offer.

In case we're not familiar, I'm Jill. I enjoy modding firearms and creating unique ammunition and explosives in my free time. I don't have an official business and do it on the side. Cute guy named Engineer does it as his full-time career, so check in on him first.

Additionally, I train people in martial arts and will help hone your skills to what works best for your height/weight and body type. I'm an expert in multiple styles (TKD, Muay Thai, Wing Chun, and Savate to name a few). Cost is sliding scale since it's something I'm passionate about. It'll take time, but I'm happy to help bring out your potential.

Thanks for your time, everyone. And happy holidays. :)

Hey, Juno.
I'm afraid I'm not offering firearms for sale just the ammunition for them. Like I mentioned above, you might want to contact a man who goes by Engineer for that.
Any martial art can be used for combat.
What kind of boxing? And wrestling, at least where I'm from can be more traditional grappling or it also derives from other types of hand-to-hand combat, often from some of the ones I've listed.

Oh, I know. I was simply grateful for letting me know of a person I could ask for a firearm. All I have is my handgun!

[ She counts that small misunderstanding to be her bad, so she took some time to add another response ]

I was in the militia but they taught us the same hand fighting ways of the regulars! I don't know what other forms of boxing exist apart from what I was taught, but I remember us having to practice for hours in how to box, grapple and how to use hand weapons from knives and hatchets, and even our rifles should ammunition run dry or we run into surprises in tight spaces.

[ Which shouldn't be different from modern army combatives. ]

So you have a firearm, then.
I don't really know what any of that means since I'm not from wherever you are.
I assume the type of boxing you were taught is native to the place its from. Boxing doesn't usually involve grappling, though.
I haven't had much need for using weapons here, but I don't offer my munitions for free and I don't exchange them for handshakes or anything.
Chroma straight-up.

[ Juno feels Jill's straightforwardness through text, and she couldn't help but feel nervous for a second. But it makes sense, and she forgot that she's talking to a stranger rather than a friend. But what mostly gets her is her lack of Chroma ]

Would demichroma be fine? Alas, Chroma is not an easy thing for me to attain.

[ She's still weirded out by the entire concept, so while hugs and handshakes are easy for her to give, they're not enough to give her a lot of Chroma in return ]

I can wait, however. Until I've gained enough Chroma, I'll make do with what I have.

[ Juno is a country girl, and country girls make do ]

[ Part of it is that and another is she feels she's not that educated on fighting or weapons -- or at least in familiar ones, which can be just as difficult. It just takes more time building people up from scratch with weapons especially, which she isn't offering. Someone surely is, though. ]

Yeah, sure.
I mean if it's sparring specifically I'll take whatever we create together as payment since we'd hopefully both benefit from it.
If that's alright with you?
