[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.]

[This is Far Cry, it would turn him into some sort of Judge Werewolf who would be under Jacob's control and Adelaide would write fanfic about them. It would be terrible.]
Maybe if the lighting was bad.
no subject
[It might not explode. Also maybe don't get bit by a radioactive wolf because that really does sound terrible.]
That's good enough, I'll take it.
no subject
[Maybe don't do that? And he's trying not to get bitten. The radioactive wolves like him.]
no subject
[Nobody's feet are gonna get burned off. And good, befriend every radioactive wolf. Build a fluffy army.]
no subject
We barely have the resources for regular clothes, so I think you're out of luck there. Unless someone from the lab can randomly make asbestos.
[If people can make napalm, it's not too out of the realm of possibility.]
Also, other than it looking really fucking cool, it might not be that useful. These islands aren't that big.
no subject
It's not like we have to cross the entire ocean to get from one island to the next, I guess i can just deal with boats.
no subject
Yeah yeah. Being rational is no fun sometimes.
no subject
It's no fun any time, but it's a necessary evil I guess.
no subject
Yeah. Bummer.
At least the range will give us something to do when we're wishing we could fly around and shoot laser beams out of our hands or whatever other cool things people can do here. When I get it all set up come test your aim. Maybe learn how to throw knives so you can skewer a fish from 100 yards away.
no subject
I guess learning some crazy knife tricks could be cool? I'm not really much of a gun person, though.
no subject
[Assuming they get back home. And Peter doesn't drop a knife on his foot in the process.]
We don't really have bullets to waste right now. But you could try archery.
no subject
[It's okay though, he'd heal fast.]
Archery could be cool, maybe I'll give that a shot.
no subject
[And Peter is 10,000x more personable than a guy who stores his own piss in bottles because he's too lazy to get up when he's binge watching Game of Thrones.]
Probably the best option we have for long distance.
no subject
[He totally had a girlfriend once! It lasted maybe like. A day. But it still counts.]
no subject
[Whatever it is pls stop. He's worried about you.]
The monsters. Not the girls which I'm sure you're beating off with a stick.
no subject
[A pause.]
...With a stick. That didn't come out quite right.
no subject
You want to try again?
no subject
no subject
[He's actually grinning, look at that. You're good for his emotional state.]
Come to the range when it's up. I promise to not bring it up.
[Probably.]
no subject
Sure, I'll pop in when I've got some free time. And I'm absolutely holding you to that.
