[OOM] Lake.

[stuck_mynock]

Atton has carted a little table and some moving targets out by the lake, and is testing out some of his newly designed weapons.

Most of them are swords of some kind, by the looks of it, but there's two high-tech pistols and what looks like an upgraded version of his vibrodisk.

He's also got a lamp set up. The lake area is dark at night.

Currently, he's got what looks like a sheathed katana in his hand - black metal, mostly, or black cloth. He's tapping some keys on the sheath, though, rather than attacking with it.

Sam's already out by the lake when Atton arrives, sitting on a rock at th water's edge and looking moody. Claustrophobia is happening again.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"S'a grumpy Sammy," Atton says loudly. "Wanna come test weapons?"

[necessary_child]

:D!

"Oooh."

Thoughtful pause, because obviously this is a SERIOUS MATTER, TO BE THOUGHT ABOUT SERIOUSLY.

"...Will there be explosions?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"There should be!"

[necessary_child]

Sam grins, getting up and heading over. "Then I suppose I'll put up with you for a while. You know, for the explosions."

<3

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Okay. Do you want to try one of the swords, or the disks, or the gauntlet, or the guns first?"

[necessary_child]

Pause.

Hopefully, "All of them?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Sagely: "Of course. But which one first?"

[necessary_child]

"You mean I can't try them all at once?"

Atton is mean, he really is.

"Hmm. The discs!"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Okay. The disks kind of have to be tried with the gauntlet - the gauntlet has a mechanism for them. So, put on the gauntlet first."

[necessary_child]

"Yes sir," Sam grins, doing as he's told.

...The glove is a little on the big side, but never mind.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Okay, flick your wrist to switch it on, the disks should float up and start revolving beneath your palm. Another flick to send them flying, control them with thought and hand movements. Go."

[necessary_child]

It takes Sam a few tries to get the wrist movement right; when he does, he doesn't have too much difficulty controlling the discs with movements, but doing so with thoughts is trickier. He's not used to thinking at things that can't think back.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton, meanwhile, has busied himself with playing with Sam's hair.

He is a hard worker, he is.

[necessary_child]

After a few moments, Sam turns to Atton with a smile.

"You're distracting," he informs him, sternly.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"You're distracting!" Shove.

Beat.

"If you snap your fingers once, the disks should generate energy wheel blade things. Snap them twice and they should let out shockwaves."

[necessary_child]

"You!"

Ooooooh.

Snap! Snap!

"...Nice."

Shockwaves are awesome!

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Hate!" Atton says, chirpily.

"'Kay, that's pretty much all the vibrodisks can do, but that gauntlet has some additional abilities. There's a concussion blaster worked into it that fires from the palm, so let's try that first. There are three keys on the gauntlet. Press the first one to turn the disks into an inert form, and then the third one along and that should start charging the blast. From there on it's neurological control, so you'll have to think to fire it."

The keys in question aren't particularly obvious at first glance: They are three parallelograms of light lined up going down from the wrist, each one about the size of Atton's thumbnail.

"Alternatively, all these things can be done just by thinking them, but to be frank, the neuro-control on this thing is a little bit temperamental with commands more complex than 'move this way' or 'fire'."

[necessary_child]

"Okay."

Sam frowns at the glove, fingers exploring it before tapping experimentally at the little blocks of light. The discs pause, making him grin approvingly.

"Gotcha."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Now fire, Sammy! Fire at the tree!"

[necessary_child]

Sam brings the glove around, eyeing the tree fiercely, and -

"Yes!"

We have explosion!

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Reproachfully: "The tree hates you now, Sammy."

[necessary_child]

D:

"But I am shiny and winsome!"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"No, Sammy. No."

Beat.

"You're very pretty, though, I won't deny that."

[necessary_child]

^_^

"I know, Atton. I know."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"S'a pity you're also an idiot."

[necessary_child]

D:

"You are cruel, Atton! And not pretty at all!"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"No, Sammy, no!"

[necessary_child]

"Yes! And I do not like you one bit!"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Hate."

[necessary_child]

Sam sticks his tongue out.

"You cannot hate me! I am too wonderful for you to hate me!"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Gravely: "No, Sammy. You are stupid."

[necessary_child]

"Am not! You are stupid!"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Stop being mean!"

[necessary_child]

"No!"

So there.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I hate you!" Atton says, and ducks down a little to get an arm around Sam's waist and try to sling him into a fireman's carry. It's slow enough that if Sam really wants to get away, he can. "I will throw you in the lake!"

[necessary_child]

"I will throw you in the lake!"

Yeah, that's a definite no on the fireman's lift, Atton.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"No! Stupid Sammy!"

[necessary_child]

"Stupid Atton!"

With just a touch of magic helping things along a bit.

"You will go in the lake now!"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"No, you will go in the lake. We discussed this," Atton protests, digging his heels in.

[necessary_child]

This, naturally, only makes Sam try harder.

"We discussed nothing, and you are a liar!"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"You are a liar," Atton says, trying to use the Force to swing them both around so that Sam is closer to the water.

[necessary_child]

"You are a liar, and a cheat, and a cheatyliar!"

Sam attempts to counter Atton's blatant and disgusting use of Force with magic.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Hatred!"
