Weapons Testing For Fun And Profit (But Mostly For Fun) | [OPEN]
Who: Darin Altway forgeabettertomorrow & anyone who wants to have fun testing experimental weapons!
When: IC: 8/13 | OOC: 7/27
Where: Outside of the Spoon Smithy after business hours!
What: Ever since Darin's arrived in Cerealia, he's seen all kinds of fantastic things. He's been documenting them in a notebook and in his spare time, he's come up with a few prototype weapons! Come test them out!
Rating/Warning: There's no way any of these weapons will work or will be especially effective. Hilarity will ensue.
[So maybe you're on your way home from work and you see a sign posted directing you to the spoon smithy. Or maybe you just got home and you see a flyer tacked to your door directing you, once more, to the spoon smithy. Or maybe you are home and the aforementioned flyer gets crammed haphazardly into your mail slot. Guess where it's directing you? The spoon smithy! Regardless, they all look like this: ]
Hey you! Yeah, the one reading this! I know what you're thinking: 'How did the flyer know I was reading this?' Because you're still reading out of curiosity, that's how! And you're wondering what the point is! Well, you know what else has points? Weapons! That's right! You know, Cerealia's a dangerous place...and no one knows what's going to happen next. Wouldn't you want to be on the forefront of weapons research so that you can better prepare yourself for the next incident that arises? If so, come on down to the spoon smithy after business hours where you can help test the latest innovations by Master Blacksmith Darin Altway, whose hammer and expertise in the field of weaponry are legendary! He's got some amazing prototypes that need testing and he can't think of anyone better to do it! Seriously! So come on down, test some weapons, have some fun, and have a few snacks!
Disclaimer: There will be no snacks.
[Kind of hard to pass up this opportunity, am I right?]
-TEST I- HOOKSHOT
[Ever since he had the chance to use one in ViViD, Darin's been attempting to make the digital weapon a reality. After a few weeks, it seems he's finally succeeded! The test area is full of all kinds of targets and patches of grating that the user can grapple on to. However, the torque and speed of the hookshot varies since it's been calibrated specifically to Darin's weight, strength, and build. You might find yourself hurdling through the air much faster. Or not at all. That piece of grating might be rocketing towards you. Try and hook onto an item or a training dummy? You might end up pulverizing it completely!]
-TEST II- BEAM SABER
[This stylish looking saber is sleek and sexy. There's a concealed button on the hilt that, once pressed, activates the industrial cutting laser embedded in the guard. Voila! Instant beam saber! There's training dummies and all sorts of debris scattered around this test area for you to cut into. However, the laser might not be the most stable thing. Swinging around something like this might cause some structural damage. And overheating. Also, the length of the blade is determined by how hard the button is pressed. Press it too hard and...well, you can imagine, can't you?]
-TEST III- BAT'LETH
[Darin saw this in a space travel sim in ViViD and he basically fell in love with it. He has no idea how it's supposed to be used in battle, but doesn't it just look super sweet? There are training dummies all over the place here and there's even a second Bat'leth in case you bring a sparring partner! Or want to challenge Darin directly. These are razor sharp though so make sure to put on the special armor that Darin forged to go with the set! Luckily, the armor is strong enough to withstand direct strikes of this fearsome weapon]
-TEST IV- RAILGUN
[HAHAHAHA WHAT? OKAY, so this is an arm mounted railgun that somehow found its way into the testing area. It is by no means stable. Darin got drunk one night and thought this was a really cool idea guys seriously. The design in his sketchbook literally reads: 'Pull trigger, annihilation comes out.' Feel free to try it at your own risk. It's going to explode.]
-WILDCARD- PICK YOUR POISON
[Swordchucks, yo. Got an idea for a terrible weapon? Feel free to make a prompt for it! Or just berate the idiot for sponsoring a weapon testing session and not having the decency to leave cookies.]

no subject
[He's currently dropping a helmet onto his noggin and taking cover inside of a dumpster because that's where trash belongs.]
YOU'RE A CELESTIAL, RIGHT?! JUST FLY THE DAMN THING INTO THE SKY AND TOSS IT!!
no subject
[THE HUMMING IS GETTING LOUDER???]
no subject
no subject
[He could still pitch it, though. How badly do you need this ceiling, Darin?]
no subject
[But unfortunately, Darin was born with a conscience. He leaps out of the dumpster and starts tugging off the armor he strapped on as he runs. Hurriedly, he rushes into his shop, grabs the hookshot from its testing station, then tears the railgun away from Pit.]
Come on, come on...!
[He rushes out the door, fitting the railgun into the claws of the hookshot, then dives, rolls onto his back on the ground and points the hookshot straight up into the sky, pulling the trigger to fire.]
HIT THE DIRT!!
[At the chain's apex, just before it begins to retract, the railgun detonates like a massive grenade.]
no subject
[But he runs after Darin (despite the fact that THE MAN IS CARRYING A DANGEROUS EXPLOSIVE) and watches as he takes care of the malfunctioning weapon. Even when Darin screams to hit the dirt, Pit blocks more with his arms than trying to hide behind anything in the workshop. He looks up, watching the great big fireball overhead...]
Geez, Darin! You weren't kidding -- you really need to do some better safety testing on these things!
no subject
Why? Aren't you the weapon whisperer?
Because it sure looked like you had that one totally under control.
no subject
[he is just kidding, he can't actually talk to weapons]
no subject
What's this one say, then.
[He pitches what's left of his hookshot at your head, Pit. It's like a missile.]
no subject
[Actually, Darin's aim is dead on. But like a true pro, Pit dodges under the hookshot. It sails right over his back, between his (completely useless) wings.]
no subject
[Groans. This weapons test was not going well.]
no subject
I was really looking forward to trying some of these out on the battlefield! But they've all been... break-y.
no subject
There's others. Help yourself.
no subject
All right, then. So I don't go picking up any booby-trapped weapons again -- which one do you recommend, Mr. Legendary Hammer?
no subject
IT WASN'T BOOBY--NGH...
[Buries face in hands.]
Alright, hold on. I've got a good one for you.
[He motions to a cupboard door.]
In there is a prototype I just finished today. It's all the way in the back though, you can't miss it.
no subject
[He hurries on over, then opens the cupboard and takes a look inside.]
no subject
[Not that it matters because Darin's slamming the door shut, then barricading the door with creates just full of heavy metal.]
[Satisfied he takes a seat and kicks up his feet.]
no subject
Hey! Open up, Darin! I'm still in here!!
[He bangs on the other side of the door.]
Dariiin!!
