ES008: Kid Friendly

[gene_driver]

[There are splotches of water on the page]

...I'm assuming that all our weapons have been replaced with ineffective items.

If that's not the case, immediately return my normal gun to me. A water gun doesn't cause sufficient enough damage.

[feathered_earth]

It sure looks that way. Is there something else you can use in the meantime?

[gene_driver]

At this point, I'm reduced to my own strength and tossing objects.

[feathered_earth]

Oh great. Are you good at it, at least?

[gene_driver]

Competent enough to survive, but I prefer to not work with this disadvantage for long.

[proudambassador]

And yet, if all have useless weapons, we are all much safer from each other, no? What were you seeking to bless with summer joy?

[A pause.]

That is not what I wrote, not at all.

[gene_driver]

There are individuals who could hurt others with their own abilities, such as magic and general physical attacks.

[...]

You're stating that your writing has changed?

[proudambassador]

Perhaps they too only make water shoot, hm? Yes. "Bless with summer joy?" Who would write such an effusive statement of celebration?

[Another pause.]

They are mocking me. I will not be mocked.

[gene_driver]

It's a possibility.

[Pause]

"They?" Are you referring to the Tree?

[reckless_rebel]

Any time I try to blow something up all I get are sparkles. It's really annoying.

[gene_driver]

The Tree is the one causing this then. [Not surprising...]

It appears anything that can cause damage has been affected.

[reckless_rebel]

Oh yay. We've been turned into a Disney movie. If people start bursting into song, I'll be hiding under the bed.

[gene_driver]

Disney? I haven't heard of that term before.

[dwn_infinite]

Dude, they gave you a squirt gun? I thought I was the only one. My arm doesn't turn into a weapon anymore. It's a real drag, man.

[gene_driver]

That's right, my normal gun has been replaced with this water one.

[...]

Your arm is normally able to turn into a weapon?

[dwn_infinite]

Yeah. It's real killer, man. The hand slides waaaay back inside and it shoots these radical balls of energy.

I usually just use a beam sword, but it's a total dud right now. Like some kinda really loud flashlight.

[gene_driver]

Both weapons sound powerful based on your description.

For the sake of our jobs, hopefully this will end soon.
