╬ [Video] :: Location - Junk Pile

[young_upstart]

[Someone's set up several makeshift targets in a slightly level patch within the Pile. Of course, they're only identifiable as targets after an abrupt burst of blaster fire. Well. Four out of five isn't too bad, right?]

Aw, come on!

[Apparently with Hot Rod, it's all or nothing. He glares a bit before taking aim and shooting off another round, grinning in satisfaction as the final target smokes from a successful hit.]

Now that's more like it.

[After a brief moment of consideration, the Autobot moves to set up some new targets. Shh, restless? Never.]

You think so? It's been a little slow around here, so I didn't want to get rusty, you know?

You haven't used firearms before?

[raceme]

Yes, I do. And I totally understand. It's always good to train our abilities.

I was not sparked with any long range weapons, not like that. Those are heavy and would slow me down while running. I'm not all that good at hitting targets from a distance.

[young_upstart]

Exactly.

Oh, I get it. Well practice should help a little at least, right?

[raceme]

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, though. I think that was a great shot.

Yes. I'm lucky that Cliffjumer's a patient mech.

[young_upstart]

Thanks. I'm glad you think so. [He likes to think he's way better at weapons than hand-to-hand, anyway.]

Well hey, if you ever want to do some target practice, I can always try setting something up.

[raceme]

The hot Rod in my world, Rodimus, uses a bow. You know how to fight with one too? I'm just curious.

Well..if you are not _{afraid about} accidentally gettign shot in the foot, I would like that.

[young_upstart]

A bow? Seriously? [That just sounds bizarre to him.] Um, no, not really.

[He laughs a little at that.] Well, if you manage to do that when I'm standing behind you then that takes a different kind of skill! But yeah, the offer stands.

[raceme]

He designed the _{energy bow} himself, it's quite impressive. [The TFA universe is quite bizarre.]

[Blurr laughs too.] Never underestimate someone's ability to screw up. Thank you, though, I _{might take} you up on that offer.

[young_upstart]

Huh. Yeah, I can't imagine myself with that kind of weapon.

[Still, he smiles.] All right then. Just shoot me a message whenever you think you're up for it.

[raceme]

Different realities have this sort of strange things.

Thank you, Hot Rod. I will.
