talking guns?

Well, yes, because the dare of the day comes from the Offical Sci-Fi Dares thread. Zhopia posted this dare:

Dare: MC has a gun with a full AI
BP: the gun chats with the MC and plays an active role in the story
DBP: the gun regards the MC with contempt
TBP: the MC tries to "program" his/her gun
QBP: the MC fails

I hadn't planned for this, but with the setup I have going so far, it shouldn't be too hard to add this gun. Having it talk could be fun, as well! As for the dares as a whole, they are starting to stack up. I have plans for how I'm going to use them, but I think I'm going to have to start adding them in some way as I take them, or they will all com true in the novel at the end! 

Off to keep writing!
