[From the vegetable patch outside of Joe's kitchen, one might hear a stream of angry curses accompanied by the cawing of crows and the occasional dull thud of a large blunt object. A closer inspection would find Joe himself brandishing a shovel and fighting off a swarm of birds from his garden. On a spit over a fire is a sharksheep, the proposed ( Read more... )

[Bobby hadn't been paying attention to his journal, so he's not at all expecting to wander towards the kitchen and spot a man glaring down some crows.

For a moment he pauses, raising an eyebrow and looking back and forth from the guy to the crows, and then spotting something roasting over the fire. Something that smells pretty good, actually, and is obviously not for birds.]

Uh. Could you use a little help with the pest problem? Cause I'm not an exterminator or anything, but I might have a solution.

[He's gonna ask before he just starts freezing birds, though. Just in case.]

[Joe makes a frustrated sound and ducks to dodge an incoming bird. Maybe putting down the shovel wasn't such a good idea after all. As he dives for his makeshift weapon, Joe glances to Bobby.]

They ain't gonna stop lad, but yer welcome to try whatever you want.

I can probably thin out their numbers a bit, at least.

[And now that he's got the okay, Bobby stops worrying about ducking incoming crows, and instead turns his attention towards freezing them. The next bird that swoops close to him gets itself with a nice ice coating, and Bobby catches it when it starts to fall to the ground.]

[Commentlog!] dontgiveafock October 11 2011, 11:19:14 UTC

Holy fockin' shit!

[Joe grins. Even he's got to admit that Bobby's little ice trick was pretty damn awesome.]

Have at 'em, lad!

[Not to be left out, Joe raises his shovel for thwacking any that come his way. He'll pluck them and stew them if he has to.]

[Commentlog!] mister_10_below October 11 2011, 11:32:28 UTC

[And Bobby's just going to beam a bit now, because he still hasn't quite been cured of his knee-jerk reaction of happiness to someone reacting well to his powers.]

Could probably use the target practice.

[He moves on to the next bird, freezing any that come too close. It's almost like target practice back in the Danger Room - if his targets were birds instead of incoming missiles, and his training partner was a guy with a shovel instead of one of the other X-men. But close enough.]

[Joe half wishes he had a tennis racket or baseball bat right about now. Cruel as it may seem, the crows have really, really pissed him off.]

By all means lad, go for it.

[Provided Bobby doesn't mind Joe still taking a swing every now and then. For the most part he'll just be picking up frozen birds.]

M'names Joe. I run the kitchens here.

[And you are?]

[Commentlog!] mister_10_below October 12 2011, 08:45:18 UTC

[Bobby doesn't mind at all! Swing away, Joe. Target practice is for everyone. He's just going to keep freezing away until the birds figure out that maybe diving at them and/or whatever's cooking isn't the greatest idea. So there.]

Bobby. I, uh. Make bird popsicles?

[...yeah, he's real useful.]

[Commentlog!] dontgiveafock October 12 2011, 10:43:27 UTC

[Joe chuckles and keeps on swinging.]

That's a hell of a trick y'got there, Bobby. Can you do anythin' else?

[C'mon kid. Joe wants to see more!]

[Commentlog!] mister_10_below October 13 2011, 00:20:37 UTC

Anything other than ice stuff? No. But I can do more with that!

[And because he kind of can't resist showing off, he pauses in freezing the birds to form a baseball bat out of ice.]

[Commentlog!] dontgiveafock October 14 2011, 07:54:38 UTC

[His jaw drops. Joe feels like he's ten years old all over again.]

...Would that thing last if I had a go with it?

[Please please please please please 83]

[Commentlog!] mister_10_below October 14 2011, 09:25:10 UTC

[Dude. Best reaction ever. Bobby's pretty much beaming now.]

Yeah! It'll be cold, but it's all yours.

[He holds out the bat, offering it to Joe.]

[Commentlog!] dontgiveafock October 16 2011, 10:33:12 UTC

[Well it's a good thing they're in the garden then. Joe nabs a pair of work gloves and pulls them on before taking the bat. Grinning like a fiend, he gives the weapon a swing.]

Oh I like this.

[Commentlog!] mister_10_below October 16 2011, 21:39:39 UTC

[Bobby grins back, watching Joe test out the bat.]

I'm glad! Don't worry about it breaking, it should be just as strong as the real thing.
