[There comes a time in the affairs of man, when he simply has to stand up and take matters into his own hands. Or in this case, stand up and do what the next best thing is when you're aware of what your limits are, which is to delegate. Which is precisely what Lyle intends to do.

You could try the stores? But you'd have to get up awful high to be able to shoot the ceiling!

[considers for a moment] I'm trying to see if we can get as many stars as possible in Aquarius. It is Ganymede, in one legend, so I think it's worth a try. Either that or Scorpius, Orion's killer.

not_that_lockon April 18 2009, 15:10:14 UTC

I'm optimistic.

[slightly blank look] I think I might need a quick history lesson.

oliverplus April 18 2009, 15:12:03 UTC

More like mythology, but what do you want to know?

not_that_lockon April 18 2009, 15:22:05 UTC

Who Aquarius and his mysterious one-time alter-ego Ganymede are, for a start.

I've heard the phrase "shooting for the stars," but this is ridiculous.

Well, someone already shot the sun, apparently.

not_that_lockon April 18 2009, 15:51:27 UTC

That is pretty impressive. But the sun's a relatively larger target.

sos_chorus April 19 2009, 01:13:12 UTC

Yeah, but it's still a surprise. How can someone be that good at archery?!

Maybe there's paintball guns in one of the shops? Or someone could modify a squirt gun?

not_that_lockon April 19 2009, 19:16:17 UTC

I think trying to paintball the stars comes under one of the crazier ideas that I've heard in my life.

Kazuhiko has a gun, but it's also a part of his hand, so I don't think you'd be able to use it.

not_that_lockon April 18 2009, 20:12:58 UTC

I'd rather save using people's body parts as a last resort.

tofindhappiness April 18 2009, 20:58:08 UTC

Hopefully you won't have to use any at all.

I take it you're a good shot?

not_that_lockon April 18 2009, 21:09:09 UTC

I'd like to think I'm not too bad.

A short while back I came across a store that seemed to be designed with marksmen & hunters in mind. You might find something there.

not_that_lockon April 19 2009, 19:13:27 UTC

Thanks for the tip. I'll see if I can find anything.

I've already looked around most of the shops and haven't found any guns, but if you manage to find something I wouldn't mind taking turns.

((I asked Rem the other... early morning and she told me there weren't any guns for sale on board. You can always re-ask since my memory's a bit foggy?))

Filtered not_that_lockon April 19 2009, 19:12:56 UTC

Ah well, it was worth a shot.

That Kyon kid suggested a paintball gun, though, and even if that didn't work it'd still be fun.

((I didn't think there would be, but Lyle doesn't know that 8Db))

Filtered mr_dynames April 19 2009, 23:38:35 UTC

[grin appears slowly as an idea hits him] You know... if we use a paintball gun, we'll be able to see which stars we already hit, I reckon.

((I'll ask Rem about there possibly being a paintball gun on board and come back with an answer. :3))

Filtered not_that_lockon April 20 2009, 15:48:22 UTC

I didn't actually think of that.

((awesome. :3))
