[isn't it a lovely day? isn't it great to not have to be in an asylum? spring is in the air!]

[The sun is shining!]

[The birds are singing!]

[BRS just walked past you with a cruise missile over one shoulder!]

[um.]

[COINCIDENTALLY: shortly afterwards a CRUISE MISSILE explodes high in the skies above the town]

[HOW COME SHE DOESN'T GET ONE 8(]

[pimpsaw]

[lands to the side, waiting]

[stars_struck]

[flings the missile high in the air, and immediately manifests the cannon in her hand. A single rock bullet kicks it several meters higher, then a second juggles it]

[she's showing off]

[pimpsaw]

[:I]

What are you doing?

[stars_struck]

... having fun.

[two more pinpoint bullets fling it higher, then in a sudden burst of bright blue and recoil THE SKY IS FULL OF ROCK BULLETS]

[KABOOM]

[pimpsaw]

... Ah, of course. [NOW SHE REALLY WANTS TO TRY TOO]

[stars_struck]

Big finish.

[okay, yeah, she's totally showing off; the cannon sparks and whines as it powers up and BRS braces, then the final blast is a rocketing azure laser of light that straight-up lances the missile in two, the ensuing explosion wiping it out]

[pimpsaw]

[that was rather awesome actually]

Exactly how many missiles are you planning to disarm?

[stars_struck]

[deadpans it, but does sound rather smug]

As many as there were there.

[pimpsaw]

Show me.

[stars_struck]

[... ... hesitates because she has enough common sense to detect this might be a terrible idea]

... I suppose...

[pimpsaw]

[what gives you that idea] Excellent. Lead the way.

[stars_struck]

[... dot dot dot]

[but does dutifully lead the way to the hidden mech because she is an idiot]

[pimpsaw]

And your friend is having you take care of the ammunition, why? [man that is a beautiful mech can she have it]

[stars_struck]

[... that's actually a fairly good question, but...]

I told her I could get rid of it.

[pimpsaw]

And what of the machine? It's essentially useless without its weapons.
