Freedom Arms- Wednesday

Today's Christmas presents shipment at Freedom Arms was... slingshots.

Yep, slingshots. Just your regular, run of the mill, ordinary slingshots that you saw in the pockets of boys in comic strips that ran in the 50's. Aeryn was trying really hard not to be insulted that she even had to deal with this.

But if you caught her at a bored moment, you'd probably see her trying one out for target practice.

There's only so many paper airplanes you can throw at Ralph's head before you annoy a stormtrooper. Or get bored. Vic really didn't care about annoying Ralph but she was definitely bored.

So that's why she was walking into the shop as Aeryn was playing with her new shipment.

"I see you're selling the latest technology in firearms," Vic joked. "Planning on going up against Goliath any time soon?"

Biblical references are probably going to be lost on the alien, Vic.

"Is that a new threat?" Aeryn asked, completely seriously.

"Only if your name is David," Vic said shaking her head. "Sorry. It was a joke. Sunday school thing. You're seriously selling these?"

Aeryn shrugged. "Someone ordered them. I assume that means there's some kind of demand for extremely primitive weapons."

Sad.

"Sure. If the Little Rascals or Dennis the Menace happen to be in town," Vic said sarcastically as she picked up one of the slingshots. "Then again I'm sure I could find a use for one of these."

Specifically a new way to annoy Ralph.

"Such as?" Aeryn was trying really hard to think of a way to use this that would be better than say, just shooting the problem.

"Annoying a co-worker," Vic said with a devious look. "Probably not the best use of these things but still..."

"I'm fairly sure that's the only real use for it," Aeryn said, and looked at one. "Actually I can see them selling well then."

"You have someone in mind?" Vic asked. "You're the only one I ever see in this shop."

"We're mostly quiet, but we can get busy whenever there's something to fight. I've had a string of people in here before trying to get whatever they can," she said. "I'm sure even they want to annoy coworkers sometimes."

She would have killed for something like this on Moya, now that she thought about it. Rygel never would have been safe.

Right in the mivonks! That would've hurt.

"Well so far the only thing I've seen crazy on this island is that damn carnival," Vic said stretching an unloaded slingshot. "Though if I new who was responsible for those buckets of water..."

[identity profile] imnotgoodatnice.livejournal.com 2014-09-17 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"That, from what I understand, is the island itself," Aeryn said, almost apologetically. Almost.

[identity profile] fracknotfrak.livejournal.com 2014-09-17 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I can't shoot a fucking island," Vic said with a frown as she tossed the slingshot back in the pile.

Why the hell did she even come back here?

"So. Anyway. I haven't talked to you in a while. How've you been?"

[identity profile] imnotgoodatnice.livejournal.com 2014-09-17 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Still here. Tried accosting people for answers with my alternate universe best friend when we lost our memories." The fact that she could say that casually meant she was adjusting this place, probably. "You?"

"Went home for about six months while only about five minutes passed here," Vic said with a shrug. "Apparently all I had to do was put my car into gear and the portal opened."

"I had no idea that was even possible. It did not work that way for me." Dammit.

[identity profile] fracknotfrak.livejournal.com 2014-09-17 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, sorry," Vic said sympathetically. "I wish it was that easy for you. Going home didn't amount to much anyway."

She picked up the slingshot to play with it again. "Are these allowed on the shooting range?"

[identity profile] imnotgoodatnice.livejournal.com 2014-09-17 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"I should think so. They can't do much more damage to anything than the bullets." She still hated bullets.
