video; un: ROCKET | happiness is a warm gun

[Here we have Rocket, our local raccoonoid, contributing his part of the planning.]

So I don't know shit about dragons, but I do know a few things about fightin' giant monsters, and I want these dudes to fail so bad in their stupid plan that they die humiliated. That would give me an extreme amount of satisfaction. So! I got a proposal.

See, everybody's got their little contributions to this cause, and this is mine- I build things. Specifically, I build gadgets. Tech, weapons, bombs... Mostly those last two. The problem is that unless y'all want me to start ripping non-essentials off the station while those Natha jerks are off on vacation or whatever, I don't have the materials to arm everybody who wants it.

Ergo if you want bigger and badder weapons, you need to come to Wyver and bring me whatever you got that I can make something worth your while with. We'll discuss the payment particulars later.

The only Earth story I know is Footloose, so I hope this ain't another "and they saved everybody with dancing" yarn.

Footloose? The music's decent enough but it's not even close to the best Earth story out there.

[ the fact that there are people in this universe who have no clue who Clint Eastwood is... ]

Not quite. IT's a story about a boy who took down a giant with nothing but a slingshot and a rock.

[beatupgrass]

I knew it.

[QUILL YOU LIED TO THEM.] Though that story ain't much better. But fine. Say the kid had improbably good aim and that's all he had on him- shit like that don't happen in real life. The little guy usually needs better weapons or he's gonna get smashed.
