Circe wanted firepower. It is nice to want, better to have. Which meant the elf had to work. The elf was hot and while dressing right could help with negotiations, trade goods were better. While cash was king but barter was at least a queen.


Guns and drugs were best. Circe had a solution from the former. Buy a dirty gun, clean by replacing parts, use to barter, and profit. The gun toolkit was nice but doing it fast required a proper work bench and other tools. Circe considered the high grade set of workshop tools to be a long term investment. The little Russian pistol resting among said tools on the workbench was actually cheaper then the tools.


At least Brownie's Boon gave her plenty of time.


As she worked on the pistol, the Summer Queen mused on what her other options were.

After half an hour of work she checked her progress, and it was almost done! Looking around during her little break, the spare parts piles got her thinking on something else.

Less than an hour to finish the replacement. Circe had come up with an idea. Putting away the gun kit, the elf measured the pistol barrel and then started sifting through spare parts.

Brownie's Boon was indeed a time saver. Grasping the artifact she'd just made in her left hand, Circe picked up the Makarov in her right. The squeaking that came next made her ears fold back flat to her skull as she winced. Nails on a chalkboard. But it worked. One dinky Soviet pistol with one silencer.


It'll be cheaper then buying, cleaning, and trading dirty handguns. Circe giggled to herself, E dicono che l'industria dei cottage è morta"".
