[ dave, a moron who has just recently discovered letting someone shoot an apple off his head gives him a completely useless but entertaining sort of ribbon: ]

minato i need you to shoot an apple off my head asap

[Minato wishes he could say he's surprised by this message.

But.

He's not.]

I don't know how to use a gun ftr. I guess I could probably manage it with bow and arrows, if you know where to find some.

i can borrow some or make a shitty set idc if you hit me a little as long as you also hit the apple

also wait
dont you HAVE a gun?

[Oh my gOD DAVE...]

I'm not going to hit you. That's not a thing that's going to happen here.

Also I have an Evoker, not a gun. It doesn't shoot bullets, I have no idea how to use a gun at all.

ok well thats a moot point i dont have a gun anyway
would you feel more comfortable if we rigged up a slingshot and i taught you to use that

Sure, why not? I think I could probably pick up something like that.

And then it won't hurt too badly if I mess it up.

i mean i dont think theres a rule you cant try to knock it off with a slingshot ammo thing made up of a rolled up sock
with smth heavier in it

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll stick like an apple in a sock or something and fling it your way, then you can get another ribbon.

ok should i pick you up?
or do you want to pick me up with an apple bouquet

I can come to you. Just get the slingshot thing ready.

on it captain
just let yourself in
or

well i guess i should go outside for this we might break something otherwise

Outside's best, yeah. I'll meet you outside of your place in a few minutes.

[And he hops off of his laptop to do just that! Heading your way, Dave....complete with possible slingshot ammo (a sock, a bundle of old fabric, a strawberry, etc).

How's the slingshot coming.]

[ IT HAS BEEN MADE...with various household items. this, at least, isn't like building a bow or something complex. he's made slingshots for dumb shit before although it has been Years.

he's cheerfully (?) waiting outside with it when minato gets there. ]

Hey, dude.

Hey, Dave.

[Sup.

Minato lifts a hand in a wave before he tucks it back into his pocket, coming closer to peer at that slingshot curiously.

Oooh.]

This looks pretty good, actually.

When I was in the first grade I made one to like, slingshot water balloons and stuff at people passing down on the street below.

[ child ]

[Child.]

You know...that sounds like you.

[He just shakes his head, and:]

I kind of wish I had a water balloon to slingshot at that apple now though. It'd be poetic justice. But instead I've got a sock, if that works.

I'm okay with a sock. [ he hands over the slingshot... ] And look, if we had any balloons I'd let you make a water balloon to toss at me. Wouldn't even dodge. Consider it an IOU?

Seriously?

[He takes the sling shot with a nod, stretching the rubber band part of it idly and curiously.]

You won't magic time powers flash step out of the way?

[He's definitely going to like. Aim at the side of the house first with the sock and fire.

It bounces off the wall, but it's hard to say if that's the part of the wall he was aiming for.]

100% Strider guarantee. If water balloons happen you get one free shot of me standing perfectly still.

[ HE'LL REMEMBER ]

It's a deal, then.

For now... I guess we should give this a shot? Sorry if I hit you in the head a few times.

[The point of the sock, and all.]

That's chill. Just take out all your secret frustrations with me as you learn?

[...?]

What secret frustrations...?

[He's totally sincere...as he settles the balled up sock into the slingshot and settles a fair couple of feet away.

He pulls it back aaaand...fires.

It... bounces off of Dave's forehead. Boink.]

...Hm.

[ dave stoically takes the sock to the forehead...

well no. ok. he kind of snorts. ]

A little higher, but you did at least hit me. Anyway...I dunno. Do you get frustrated with people ever?

Hmmm... yeah, sometimes.

[It was almost stoically, Dave, he thought it was pretty good. Minato's just retrieving that sock quietly, squinting at Dave as he retakes his spot.]

When people are really, really hard-headed about things that they shouldn't be... then I get frustrated sometimes.

[Granted, the level he's talking about here is like "Takaya won't stop murdering people because he thinks he's right in doing so".

He aims....and fires...!! And it sails over Dave's head this time. Dammit. A slight frown at that!]

Hard headed about stuff like what?

[ since it sails over dave's head, he moves to retrieve it, tossing it back to minato softly and underhand. ]
