OPEN POST!
For general shenanigans! Throw your people at my people, using existing verses, or hey, let's get crazy and come up with new ones. It'll be a party. 1, 2, 3, GO.

Nope. Cops should be here soon, though. He's not going anywhere.

[And Bobbi's going to find a place to sit until then.]

So. Learn anything from this?

[Because, even though she's injured because she made bad choices, she'll still try to parent.]

[fathersfootsteps]

[he follows her obediently] Yeah. Guns suck.

[ofafeather]

Nah, they don't. You just gotta learn how to use them, that's all.

[fathersfootsteps]

You can't feel them like you can a bow. I don't like it.

[ofafeather]

They serve a different purpose. But your dad thinks the same thing.

[fathersfootsteps]

I kind of agree with him.

[ofafeather]

I think it's because he's been shoving a bow in your hand since before you could walk.

[fathersfootsteps]

Does that bug you?

[ofafeather]

Why would it bug me?

[fathersfootsteps]

I dunno. Maybe you would have liked it if I was into guns like you, instead.

[ofafeather]

I didn't even want you to know I could use one as well as I can. If anything, it would have been the staves.

By the way, I'm going to need my gun back, kiddo.

[fathersfootsteps]

Yeah, but then I'd just be like every other normal kid whose parents aren't awesome.

Oh yeah. [he hands that back so fast]

[ofafeather]

[skdjflaj Francis did you just call her awesome? Score.]

Thanks. [She puts it away safely, then hands her phone over.]

Call Dad, tell him what a good job you did.

[fathersfootsteps]

Oh yeah. 'Hey dad, we stop a bomber! I just had to shoot mom to do it.' I'm sure that'll go over well.

[ofafeather]

You didn't actually shoot me. I'm fine, see? But we're probably going to have to take a trip to the hospital on the way home.

[fathersfootsteps]

That's not 'fine,' mom.

[ofafeather]

Yes it is. Besides, it'd be a lot worse if you hadn't taken the shot. You did good, kiddo.

[fathersfootsteps]

[twists the phone in his hands, not fully believing her] You really think so?

[ofafeather]

I wouldn't say so if I didn't.

[fathersfootsteps]

So you think I can do this for real, then?

[ofafeather]

You'll need a lot more training. It's not going to be easy.

[fathersfootsteps]

I didn't think it would. But I want to do this.

[ofafeather]

You're going to learn how to use a staff. And fight hand to hand. Better than your dad.

[This is non-negotiable, kid.]

[fathersfootsteps]

While I'm training with him, too? [MOM THAT IS CRAZY HARD he won't have time for video games or anything]

[ofafeather]

Yup.

[Welcome to the life, kiddo.]
