Freedom Arms- Wednesday

Aeryn being Aeryn, she was technically at work today. "Technically" because she was standing outside it with a pulse rifle, more than happy to shoot at anything unfriendly that came near. And she supposed she'd probably maybe have to sell things if people came around on a day where monsters were everywhere, but she was mostly about the shooting.

And to think, she'd started to feel bored in this place, but this felt more like her extremely weird life.

No doubt Aeryn had already noticed a certain Klondike-giving mutant from the week before battling his own... battle against the undead. He was also dripping wet from falling into one of the water pits that used to be a house.

"Crimson Bands of Cyttorak! I summon thee!"

A wave of energy swept from his hands binding three or four mummies but for some reason the zombie piranhas were able to evade.

"God damn it!" Jamie swore as he beat back some of the fish, "All I wanted to do today was get a freaking burrito!"

[identity profile] imnotgoodatnice.livejournal.com 2014-03-26 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Aeryn had her weapon aimed at the fish, but she wasn't sure whether she wanted to shoot something that close to an actual person who hadn't really annoyed her yet. "Looks like you're having a bad day."

She wasn't sure whether she wanted to shoot something that close to an actual person who hadn't really annoyed her yet...

Ah, but the day is still young, Aeryn!

Jamie on the other hand was pretty annoyed as he managed to take out the last three fish with some mystical bolts.

"I'm wet. I'm hungry. And the goddamn island won't let me get food," Jamie grumbled. "What the hell is going on here?"

And then he looked at Aeryn with a sudden realization.

"And why are you working on a day where we're being invaded?"

[identity profile] imnotgoodatnice.livejournal.com 2014-03-26 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's where the weapons are," Aeryn explained, like he was the weird one for asking.

[identity profile] toomanyofme.livejournal.com 2014-03-26 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Jamie opened his mouth to say something and realized quickly that he had no good logic to refute that.

"Okay. Fine. That makes sense. You know what makes no sense? The fact that you can't step foot out of a hotel and get attacked by trolls just because you wanted a FREAKING BREAKFAST BURRITO!"

Sorry, Aeryn. Jamie just needed to vent.

[identity profile] imnotgoodatnice.livejournal.com 2014-03-26 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Aeryn didn't always know what do to with other people's outbursts, or at least she didn't in this situation. "I don't know what that a breakfast burrito is," she said slowly, "but I don't think it's that important."

[identity profile] toomanyofme.livejournal.com 2014-03-26 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well of course it's not important," Jamie said with a long sigh. "But I'm beginning to think I should have stayed in bed this morning."

He sighed again and rubbed his head.

"Plus I'm soaking wet and I'm pretty sure there's a dead zombie piranha fish in my pants."

"I don't want to know how either of those things happened," Aeryn warned.

[identity profile] toomanyofme.livejournal.com 2014-03-26 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"I just feel into a pit of water," Jamie grumbled. "And no one needs to know about the fish."

Down the street there was a large viking making his way down the street. Jamie rolled his eyes and waved his hands. "Bolts of Balthakk," Jamie said in an off-hand manner and blasted the viking with a bolt of energy which knocked him to the ground.

"So how's your day?" he said in an off-hand manner.

[identity profile] imnotgoodatnice.livejournal.com 2014-03-26 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"I've been shooting things," Aeryn said, like that actually improved her day.

Because it did.

"How are you doing that?"

[identity profile] toomanyofme.livejournal.com 2014-03-27 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Jamie made a distracted gesture with his hand. Kind of like a 'whoop-dee-doo' gesture but with less whoop and a lot less dee-doo.

"Magic," he replied. "I'm guessing you're a girl with a military background. Right?"

[identity profile] imnotgoodatnice.livejournal.com 2014-03-27 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Is it that obvious?"

With the posture and the way the carried herself and the weapons strapped on her, not to mention the weapon in her hands that she clearly knew her way around.

Yes, she was joking.

[identity profile] toomanyofme.livejournal.com 2014-03-27 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Jamie carefully looked at Aeryn.

"Was that a joke?"

Yes. He had to check.

[identity profile] imnotgoodatnice.livejournal.com 2014-03-27 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't tell jokes." Never. Really. "I was a Peacekeeper."

Which no one here seemed to know, which was both depressing and a relief at the same time.

"Flying. Undead. {Word your microbes probably won't translate}." Hello to you too, Bo.

Who had a revolver in one hand and a black hair scrunchie in the other, which she was doing a crappy job of getting her wildly mussed hair shoved into with just one hand. Mfuh.

She set the gun on the counter and scraped her hair back with both hands. "What do you have that fires more than six shots before I have to reload and get chomped on again?"

"There's some higher-capacity stuff along with some automatics," Aeryn said. "If that's good enough for you."
nookiepowered: (smiling (satisfied))

"As long as I've got the cash and I only need two hands to work it, it's good enough for me," Bo answered with a nod. "I'm not picky." That was true when it came to most weapons; she liked a shiny sword as much as the next girl, but she mostly only cared that they worked.

Aeryn headed back to get a couple moddable weapons to bring back to show her. "These are some of the choices. Should be enough to take down the big things-" She had no idea wtf a dinosaur was. "-though you might have to be more precise when dealing with the uh, fish."

"Kind of hope something that sprays might work on one-fish-two-fish," Bo said, picking up one of the automatics. "Precise is turning me into lunch when those things come at me in a swarm."

Her leather jacket had taken most of the damage, but Bo had a nasty scratch on one cheek and a less visible but no less achey bite on her wrist where a piranha had taken advantage of a pushed-back sleeve while she was firing at his buddies.

"Also, hi, I'm Bo. I'd say welcome to Fandom, but it sounds kind of sarcastic during a week like this."

[identity profile] imnotgoodatnice.livejournal.com 2014-03-26 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Aeryn. And this is more like the welcomes I'm actually used to." At least no lives had been ruined due to her being here yet! And looking at the scratches, Aeryn asked, "Are you sure you want to be out in this?"

It was fine for her to do it, but she was trained to fight things. Maybe not piranhas, but things.

"I'm school security; it's my job." Not that she was wearing the tee shirt today. "And I'm way happier--" And less guilt-ridden. "--out in this where I can kill things, than inside being no help in the library."

[identity profile] imnotgoodatnice.livejournal.com 2014-03-27 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Killing things is how you usually get rid of them," Aeryn said, because she barely understood the purpose of a library in practice.

"Yeah, but more keep coming. The bigger brains than mine are trying to figure out how to cut 'em off at the source." Bo hefted the gun in front of her, trying out the weight. "Plus some things you can't just kill; ever try to shoot a river of lava?"

"Not when I was expecting anything to happen to it," Aeryn admitted. "I figured lava is just something you deal with. Or tried not to deal with."

Oh, Aeryn. Everything can put back in Fandom, just wait.

I hear folder helmets can help if monsters actually come out of the lava.

"I haven't tried to shoot it either," Bo admitted. "But it'd probably do just as much good as me with my nose in a multiversal physics book: negative jack-squat on a scale of one to ten. Out here beating things up is better."

[identity profile] imnotgoodatnice.livejournal.com 2014-03-27 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll never argue with that." She was a fan of violence, really. "Will these work for you?"

"This and the big one," Bo replied with a nod. "On the school's account, and don't think that's not one of the biggest perks of this job, because it is."

That and the free tee shirts and the chance to collect HD video of loved ones turning into raccoons.

[identity profile] imnotgoodatnice.livejournal.com 2014-03-27 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"The school has an account?" Aeryn asked. "Suddenly this place makes more sense tO ME."

"Not for the students!" Bo hastened to assure her. "...Mostly because the students tend to bring their own weapons."
