[Pratt is sitting on the lower bunk of his tiny-house, part of his machine gun visible to the side and a wood plank wall behind him. He's wearing his deputy outfit again, his hair in neat braids thanks to Kettara.]

Before this whole talk of moving I was starting to set up a target range because I'm getting rusty. Figured since we have a lot of people who are experienced with firearms, arrows, knives, whatever, that I'd set it up so anyone can use it.

I've made a few spinner targets and I found a few wooden target dummies near the Colosseum but they're in rough shape so they need some clean up. I was working on a skeet shooter, but my plan to use a motor from a moped didn't work since they're electric and full of pointless plastic crap instead of useful gearbelts.

[He shakes his head, frowning at broadcasting his failure to everyone. He hadn't meant to say that.]

That's not the point.

Since we're apparently being shuffled to the next livestock pasture for us, I'm going to hold off setting it up until we're there.

What else would you guys like? Anyone need something to stand up to a crossbow? Or more intricate for throwing stars? And this shouldn't be a problem here, but I'm preemptively letting you know that there's no flamethrowers allowed at my range.

[He narrows his eyes at the screen before shutting off the feed. He definitely looks like he's adding that caveat because he's encountered that problem before.]

I could get behind a target range, though I think I'd wait on planning too much until it's been decided where they're dropping us. An outdoor target range on planet assfreeze might not be super fun.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Survival wilderness training.

But if the ice place is chosen I'm gonna be pissed. It was summer when I got here, I'm not prepped for below freezing temps.

Though watching people ride mopeds in the snow might be worth it.

[fogsong]

You might want to start prepping, then. For both. [ It's the smart thing to do, honestly. ] I'm not sure how much forewarning we'll get before they uproot us.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Great. As if this place isn't bad enough.

I'm working on it. The stores here don't have what I want. We need a Cabela's.

[Voice]

[requiemshark]

How hard's that flamethrower rule?

[ Because he has one. It occasionally needs to be recalibrated. ]

[theweakhavepurpose]

[Glare]

Very. If we end up in the jungle do you want to burn down the whole rainforest?

[Voice]

[requiemshark]

Generally not a huge issues with jungles. Not as flammable as you'd think.

Seriously. I need targets to recalibrate my equipment.

[pocketspa]

Wait somebody has a flamethrower here? Where?

[Taako that wasn't the question.]

[theweakhavepurpose]

I didn't think so, but apparently!

That was more residual from back home. There's an annoying pyromaniac I have to arrest for arson every other week.

[pocketspa]

[He just howls with laughter.]

Well there's tons of ways to commit arson without a flamethrower.

[Taako no.]

Also as long as you put it somewhere in the middle you're probably fine. Like by a big, uh, landmark like the Coliseum.

I was going to ask if you'd checked the Null parts at the lab for the stuff you'd need to build a skeet shooter, but now I kind of wanna see if I can build a flamethrower. Couldn't be that hard.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Come on man.

Why does everyone want to destroy the range before I even build it?

[itsnotaonesie]

I'm kidding! Kidding.

...I'm not actually, I would totally build a flamethrower. But! I won't bring it to your range if I do. How's that?

[survivethis]

I don't suppose that target range comes with bullets.

[She knows that's a long shot. Jill has a gun but she doesn't even have a clip to go into it. So much for being prepared.]

[theweakhavepurpose]

If I can get gunpowder and a press it could. But I don't have either of those things.

Arrows and knives might be where it's at if you want to conserve ammo.

[survivethis]

I can't conserve something I don't have.

[She wishes she at least had a couple of bullets in case things got really dicey.]

At least you know how to make bullets, though. Perhaps we'll get lucky with the next place.

[But judging from how the options were described, it's doubtful they're going to find either of those things there.]

[standformyself]

Throwing sticks?

[Hurr dee hurr.]

I am quite good at fetching them. Even better if there is a treat involved.

[theweakhavepurpose]

If you want to fetch people their arrows I'm sure they'd be happy to pay you in treats.

[standformyself]

Scratches would work too, especially behind the ears.

voice;

[uptightness]

Where are you setting it up?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Depends on if we move to the jungle or the ice planet.

In the Jungle wherever there's a good clearing with enough yardage to give the snipers something decent to aim for. For the ice one... Depends on the wind situation. And if we're all going to get frostbite on our trigger fingers.

[uptightness]

So you're waiting to finish until after the move?

Video

[knifecollecting]

Wait, does someone here have a flamethrower? [Damn.]

[theweakhavepurpose]

Multiple people apparently.

And a few that are trying to build them. I guess we'll be prepared if we end up in the frozen tundra.

[knifecollecting]

They're handy. I've never used one for clearing snow, but I bet it would work fast.
