VIDEO | JUNK PILE

[percept]

[ Guess who's back to shooting things in the junk pile?

This guy.

Hopefully he's being more careful, seeing as he's narrating this entry while staring down the scope of... Something. It looks like a fusion of his usual sniper rifle and a certain someone's plasma weaponry. ]

I'm rather fascinated with the abilities of those pages to create a working item from admittedly sparse notes. This particular weapon functions far better than I could have hoped, considering I did little more than jot down a few rough concept sketches. The accuracy is a little off at the moment, but with a few adjustments I feel it could be quite formidable in combat scenarios.

[ He pauses to line up a shot, humming thoughtfully as a bright blue blast obliterates something (that looks uncannily like a toaster) in the distance. ]

Hm, perhaps if I modified the scope...

Ah, Vandal, could you spare a moment or two? Seeing as the conceptual basis of this gun originates in your technology, I would appreciate your input on modifying it further.

To everyone else... Has anyone had any items or effects linger from the, mm, outbreak of oddities we experienced recently?

I seem to attract a mixture of both, given my interests, so with any luck I shall remain able to endear myself to you for the foreseeable future.

... You know sometimes you're about as much of a dork as Drift is.

[She laughs. That's... a good thing.]

[action]

[percept]

[ He smirks slightly. ]

I'm not sure whether I should be taking offense.

[action]

[vandalization]

From me? It's good.

Now come on. I wanna see this thing in action more.

[action]

[percept]

Your wish is my command.

[ Perceptor hefts the rifle back up and takes aim, letting loose a few rounds into the side of a chunk of metal. ]

[action]

[vandalization]

Wow, I kinda like the sound of that, Perce.

[She plunks down on his foot and leans back to watch.]

How's the recoil?

[action]

[percept]

[ He hums thoughtfully, lining up another shot. ]

I believe it could still use a little tweaking, if you are willing to assist me.

[action]

[vandalization]

Hell yes I am!

[She pats your foot, Percy.]

You sure do know how to treat a lady.

[Not that she's much of a lady.]

[action]

[percept]

It's my pleasure.

[ Funny, considering his species pretty much. Lacks ladies. ]

Here.

[ He lowers the rifle again. ]

The recoil feels slightly... clunky. What do you think?

[action]

[vandalization]

[She pulls herself up so she can sit on it.]

What a sweetheart.

Mmm. Yeah, it's a little front-heavy. If you use a lighter material for the barrel, you'll get less kickback I think.

[She's honestly doing more here with her engineering degree than she ever did in her actual job.]

[action]

[percept]

I'm sure we can acquire the necessary materials either through foraging here in the junk pile or performing a small 'raid' on the laboratories within Liege Maximo's temple.

[ He grins at her. ]

I am sure that, with your assistance, manufacturing the proper parts will be a simple endeavor.

[action]

[vandalization]

Sounds fuckin' awesome to me.

[She snaps her fingers at him a little.]

Up, please.

[Because she can do that now.]

Where should we start?

Re: [action]

[percept]

[ Finger snapping? Gosh Vandal, R U D E. Lucky he likes you so much. Perceptor leans down and scoops her up into his hands like a wee baby bunny, cradling her in his palms. ]

Let us begin here in the junk pile. There is a mound not far from here that seems to contain a fair number of salvageable parts and equipment. ]

[action]

[vandalization]

[ It's sort of a thing of endearment. Maybe. Anyways, she gets comfortable in his hands.]

Right then. Let's go!
