Video
[The video turns on to show the outskirts of town, nearby is a fence of sorts made of junk Pratt collected from the Colosseum and some baling wire. It's encircling a fancy new shooting range complete with training dummies and targets and some other items that aren't immediately identifiable.
Okay fancy isn't the right word, everything is made of remnants he found and some of the targets are empty soup cans on sticks but it looks serviceable.]
This is Deputy Pratt. I know we're all busy freezing to death, but if you'd like to take your mind off that, I've finally got this all together. Range is up and running!
It's set up by the orchard, or well.. where the orchard should be anyway.
[He pans the camera towards the orchard to show where it is and then starts walking towards the range. The camera is surprisingly steady, this is someone who has filmed hundreds of Vine videos of him and other deputies doing stupid stuff on slow days. He's a pro at this shit.]
I've got training dummies up front for anyone who wants to get their melee fighting on. But uh.. try not to completely destroy them because I don't have a ton of wood to fix them up.
For the range itself I've got targets at 10 meters, 25 meters, 50 and 100. It's not perfect because I'm measuring this with my feet, but it's close enough. Spinner targets are for guns, and the bigger baled ones are dirt and wood so they shouldn't chew up your arrows too bad.
This thing is a work in progress.
[He sets a can onto a contraption off to the side of the range, stomping his foot on a pedal and sending it shooting down the lane and a little to the left. The camera gets unsteady here as he launches a knife that's far too big for this at the can and it tumbles to the ground.]
Keeps shooting them off to the side, but it's better than throwing something and then trying to hit it.
As for weapons... [He walks over to a large but very battered chest and opens the lid.]
I've got some throwing knives that aren't stupid like the hunting knife I have. A few bows. And some arrows in here. Keep them in this crate because the weather is not kind to bowstrings and you don't want these things snapping when you're shooting.
It's on the honor system because I'm not going to freeze my ass off monitoring this twenty-four seven. So try not to burn it down in the next two days.
[Please guys. He worked hard on this. Don't set it on fire.]

organic? like you can heal people too?
no subject
Maybe someone with magic could help power it then? [ It's worth a shot!? ]
And yes that's right! I can heal any kind of wound, or disease! My powers work on a subatomic level, so even things like genetic imperfections are easy to fix. Not that I...think people with those things need to be fixed, but if it helps improve overall quality of life then I'm obligated to at least ask if they want to be helped.

i feel really boring in comparison.
im a pilot with no helicopter. a cop with no precinct. and a rider without a horse. basically the range is all ive got to offer.

They're more trouble than they're worth at times.

i cant fix or help anything.

[ How does he put it that he might turn into a hideous eldritch terror and attack people uncontrollably. Of course this has yet to happen but...well it's usually in the forefront of his mind. ]
But it's nothing to be concerned about if I just use them when I have to.
