[Day 189] OPEN

[kyotoprincess]

Who: Bon, Yukio, and Everyone else
Open: Open
When: Day 189
Where: one of the corners of the dragon field
What: Dumb exorcist boys got a bazooka. They're blowing stuff up. It's loud.
Format: action
Warnings: explosions

[If anyone is outside during the day today, they may see Bon and Yukio dragging a few things over to one of the open corners of the dragon field. Those things happen to be targets from the training building.

Shortly after they have finished dragging the targets to where they need them, a very distinctive sound can be heard. At first it is a loud fizzle, like a bunch of steam had been left off, but it is quickly followed by a loud, ground-shaking BOOM

Should anyone go investigate, they will find Bon holding a smoking bazooka, while both he and Yukio inspect the crater where one of the targets used to be. The boys have ear protection, thankfully, but they did not see fit to warn anyone else.

It's Bon who speaks first.]

That was bigger than I thought it would be.

[All Yukio does is facepalm and sigh.]

[Was that--!?

They may not have guns--and certainly not bazookas--where Zuko comes from, but the Fire Nation has developed plenty of other ways to blow things up, and she knows an explosion when she hears one. It actually sounds a lot like the abilities of that Fire Nation assassin she hired.

Whatever the cause, it is not something she wants to be hearing inside the Bastion. She rushes out towards the source of the noise, but her alarm quickly turns to annoyance as she sees that it's not an attack but two of their own with some other strange-looking weapon.]

What do you two think you're doing!? You think this world needs more holes in it?

[kyotoprincess]

It's called practice.

[He's pulling the earplugs out so he can talk for a minute without having Zuko's words muffled. He looks entirely unapologetic, by the way.]

Would you rather I took this thing out on the Skyway with no practice at all and just missed every time I shot it?

[doctor_dragoon]

[Siiiigh. Yukio pulls out his own earplugs, looking only slightly apologetic himself.]

A weapon like this can't be used without preparation.

[daughterofursa]

[That's fine, Zuko would probably just plow through any apologies and continue being mad at you.]

At least on the Skyway you'd have some chance of hitting something that isn't the rock we're living on.

And what kind of preparation doesn't involve telling people you're going to be testing some kind of... bomb-thrower?

[kyotoprincess]

There's also the risk of coming across monsters out on the Skyway, which isn't a good thing to do when you're learning a new weapon. Plus, any damage here can be fixed easily, it's not that hard to shovel in some dirt.

["No u", basically. Though Zuko is right-ish about the 'not warning people' part, since the bazooka was way louder than he thought it would be.]

[doctor_dragoon]

[Erp. She is kinda right about the 'not warning people' bit. Yukio looks a bit sheepish and takes a step in front of Bon.]

You're right. It was irresponsible of us not to warn anyone of what we were planning...

[So... no arguing? Please?]

[daughterofursa]

That's why you take people with you who know what they're doing.

[Is she implying Ryuuji doesn't? Yeah, probably.

When she looks to Yukio, though, she does seem slightly more inclined to just glower at them instead of biting heads off. Because yes, she is right.]

The last time I heard a noise like that, an assassin was trying to kill us all.

[kyotoprincess]

[Zuko is really starting to annoy Bon. Which is funny because they're both so stubborn, and it's the stubbornness that's getting to him.

Sorry Yukio, he's stepping around you to snap at Zuko some more.]

What assassin is going to get us out here in the middle of a dragon's field? They'd get eaten before they could even pull the pin on a grenade!

[doctor_dragoon]

Suguro-kun. [Sounding a bit more stern now, automatically slipping into teacher-mode. Darn stubborn teenagers.]

We were in the wrong here. There's no reason to argue.

[daughterofursa]

The one I'm thinking of could firebend with his mind. There's no warning with that.

[...the dragon would probably eat him afterwards, though.

She glances at Yukio and then arches her eyebrow at Ryuuji. Well? Going to admit you're wrong?]

[kyotoprincess]

[No, of course he's not. But he lets out an impatient huff and lets it drop there, since Yukio is going all teacher-mode on him. Can't disrespect his teacher, after all.]

[doctor_dragoon]

[Good, student.]

Well, hopefully we'll never have to worry about that here.

[daughterofursa]

[All right. Standing down.]

Yeah. Hopefully not.

...what is that thing anyway?
