WHO: Tony and Celty, feat. Cayde, Echo, Jon, Dustin, Gladio
WHERE: Wherever you can be found!
WHAT: This is another delivery post. Some characters are getting gifts! If you want them instead of whoever's name is on the tag, you can try to intercept. Celty's delivering now, though, so you better be clever.
WHEN: As the plants calm down.
WARNINGS: None.


The forge wasn't in such a terrible state. It wasn't all the way out here, at the edge of the city, where Tony was stupid enough to have encourage mutant plants to take over the whole place. In fact, it seemed like some of the work had already been done for him when Tony started his pruning, and what was left was easily fed into the kiln or the furnace as he got them roaring again. It was only natural then to get distracted by what was uncovered as he swept out tangles of brambles and withered flowers. There was a lot more cleanup for him to do than just the housekeeping.

By the time he sent a message to Celty (offer still stand?), there was a pile of packages already gathered by the heavy, metal door of the forge, looking disappointingly small in the reddening light of the sunset to Tony's critical gaze. Back to work, then.

...to Cayde
Bundled in a waxy banana-type leaf, tied with its own stems, is a neat stack of long, slim bullets that look like they belong in a rifle. There's no way that diamond shape debossed into their pointed tips is functional. Right? With them is a tube that looks like it has some rifling in it, that the bullets fit into. Maybe there's a way for Cayde (or a curious thief) to find out.

...to Echo
While this is folded up tightly like a fist inside of a clay box, it's not a hand exactly. There's way too many silver fingers, and a plate of flat glass for a palm. It does look like Echo's scomp link will fit into it.

...to Jon
Tony must be really confused about hands, because this glove doesn't have enough fingers. It could be an archery glove. Is the right name on this silky net of petals? It's not leather, but a very fine, gold mesh that knits denser together along the underside of it.

...to Dustin
In a small, paper box is what might be the worst deck of cards. There aren't very many of them, and they are all made of brass, slim enough that it seems like they might fracture. Their backs are all imprinted with NO FUN, and only one of them appears to have anything on the other side. It looks a lot like braille. As soon as the package is opened, they all vibrate.

...to Gladio
This is a flat package, folded in papery leaves. It's a slim, silver frame with filigreed edges along the pane seated in the centre, where Tony appears to have given Gladio...a picture of himself? Wait a second, and it turns out to be two. Three. He's visibly holding his communication device in all of them, so he must have used a mirror. Maybe it's a suggestion.

"Hah!" The laugh that escaped him was louder than he anticipated, and even Sundance gave the slightest twitch in the air, saved only for the fact that she was already floating.

Cayde wasn't entirely sure he'd actually expected that to work. He was both pleased and amused by how ridiculous having an extension on his Ace of Spades was, but no less intrigued. It hadn't been too difficult to set up, just as expected of Tony. The Exo studied it, and then picked up one of the bullets from the counter. There was no way it was going to load into Ace as it was, but did they work in conjunction with his existing bullets?

Well, only one way to find out!

He straightened his arm out, taking aim at the dartboard on the wall across the room before he pulled the trigger.

There was perhaps a split-second before he fully pulled the trigger that Cayde-6 thought perhaps this wasn't a good idea. And then in the next second his arm was being catapulted backwards and the rest of his body with it, his back dragged over the bar before gravity gave a final tug to pull him down behind it.

Sundance was startled by the ensuing noise, turning sharply towards the windows as her core quickly assessed that the rattling was nothing more than that before she looked over at her Guardian as he popped his head up from behind the counter. Cayde vaulted over the bar and ran over to the dartboard, eyeing the hole before nudging the board aside to contemplate the light coming through the wall. Exchanging a look with his Ghost, he hurried out the door and into the hallway.

Fine dust from freshly relieved plaster drifted in the rays of sunlight of the newly provided ventilation. Cayde stepped over towards the edge of the gaping hole, peering out before he looked over at Sundance.

"...you think anyone'll notice?"
