PEACE WEEKEND

[airlockedmods]

[It's your first week here, and you've been offered a fantastic prize for killing someone: an all-expense paid vacation! It's a pretty standard prize as far as reality game shows go.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), this isn't exactly a game show.

It seems that no one has died this weekend, and the deadline for the prize is now expired. There's no announcement from the Overseers to that effect; in fact, none of you have seen either of them since Tuesday. Maybe they'll make a reappearance soon, but for now, it seems that you've got a moment of peace.

Hopefully nothing happens to it.]

I am fast, but I shoot regular bullets. Usually.

[hellahighwater]

Usually?

[photoshooter]

Sometimes the bullets are magic.

[hellahighwater]

Magic bullshit again, fuck!

[photoshooter]

[That makes him laugh.]

Yeah, but it's not really that impressive when I do it! Like, we don't need to keep a flare gun around because I can shoot a light that'll hang there a while, or if I'm using a heavier weapon I can keep baddies in one place for a few seconds, but I don't have a gift for it like Noct or Iggy.

[hellahighwater]

What the hell, of course that's impressive! Maybe not in your world, but for me? That's pretty damn special, dude!

[photoshooter]

Man, if we weren't in the middle of fighting back the Empire, I'd totally tell you to come visit somehow. I'd get Noct to show off his powers and that'd really blow your mind.

[hellahighwater]

Yeah? What can he do? [ :3c ]

[photoshooter]

You want me to spoil the surprise?

[hellahighwater]

Ohhh, I hate surprises! [ ... ] Fine! Fine, you know- something to...look forward to.

[photoshooter]

You'll love him. [He lowers his voice.] Don't tell him I said this, but Noct is pretty much the coolest person around. Even if he's a big cranky nerd.

[hellahighwater]

I do tend to like some kinds of nerds.
