It's never a good idea to complain about things being sleepy, because that's always when they wake up just to kick you. But there is just not a lot happening in fairytale Maine, is there? I make my own fun, but my fun has run into some repetitive cycles.

I've found a lot of spare parts and could rig it up - how about a town-wide, volunteer-based game of laser tag? Winners have bragging rights, those who can fly or have superpowers are on the honor system.

	I am SO in! Oh, and I'm Ruby. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Nice to meet you, Ruby. I'm Captain Jack Harkness. That's one down. Want to come by the appliance shop and help me start assembling in case we get more? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nice to meetcha too! And I would LOVE to! It's been ages since I've been able to work on any weapons, and most people here don't seem to carry any, which is weird. Not that mine is appropriate for laser tag or anything! Where should I meet you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think more than a few people are armed, they just keep it quiet. And even more don't need to carry a weapon, they come with them pre-loaded. But the appliance shop should work, there's a lot of little gadgets and pieces around no one's using. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Makes sense! Uh, I'm new to this place. Where's this shop? Do we have a handy dandy map? And what's a superpower? ~~Is that like semblances?~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Down on the south side of Main Street. But if you ask one of the dwarves or fairies who greet people, they should have a map - they usually hand them out to new arrivals. Superhuman abilities. Being able to fly, move things with your mind, have superstrength, that sort of thing. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Real lasers? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	fixedintime 2015-08-13 12:27 pm UTC (link)
	I'll stick with no, since I don't want to end up in jail or responsible for the death of an iconic fairy tale. Toys only this round. Think you'll play anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	clearmyledger 2015-08-13 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	That's disappointing, but yes, I will. I'll bring others, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Should we say everyone for themselves, or work in teams? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Excellent, we'll shoot for next week. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notyetbatman 2015-08-13 12:37 pm UTC (link)
	Good. I'll be there. I'm epic at laser tag ~~even though I've never played~~. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'll have a shot at proving it. Bruce Wayne, is it? There's a name I've heard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notyetbatman 2015-08-13 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I'm Bruce Wayne. It appears lots of people have heard of me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fixedintime 2015-08-14 09:25 am UTC (link)
	It's a famous sort of name. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notyetbatman 2015-08-14 03:32 pm UTC (link)
	Is it? Because of Batman? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fixedintime 2015-08-14 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	That would be it. Batman gets a lot of play. There's even a lot of alien languages that have a word for Batman. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notyetbatman 2015-08-15 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	Oh really? Aliens, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fixedintime 2015-08-15 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	There was a future run where Batman WAS an alien. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Huh. Weird. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	There is nothing wrong with repetitive cycles as long as you're still having fun. Ugh. Honor system. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	fixedintime 2015-08-13 12:29 pm UTC (link)
	Sometimes things need to be shaken up. But the old tricks are still fun. We could handicap you instead, but there's a lot of brainy people around who'll find a way around it if I try. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lanternlight 2015-08-13 01:25 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I've always been a fan of shaking things up. I'll put the ring away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fixedintime 2015-08-13 04:46 pm UTC (link)
	Routines aren't all bad, but a good shake helps keep everything going. You could try lending it to me instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lanternlight 2015-08-14 05:05 am UTC (link)
	I could probably lend it to you for a short amount of time. My ring, my rules and I want to see what you'd look like in the outfit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fixedintime 2015-08-14 09:27 am UTC (link)
	You know, I was sure I'd get a "no" on that one, but I'm game if you are. I could work a nice green. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lanternlight 2015-08-14 11:22 am UTC (link)
	I was actually torn for a minute there but I trust you with my stuff. Besides, the ring will come back to me. It chose me but I can will it to you for awhile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fixedintime 2015-08-14 12:34 pm UTC (link)
	I can't take it far anyway. But I appreciate the trust. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Would you need any help in setting that up? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	fixedintime 2015-08-13 12:29 pm UTC (link)
	I won't say no to another set of willing hands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustarrows 2015-08-17 05:11 am UTC (link)
	Definitely willing. Besides, it's either this or I start making doomsday devices. Idle hands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What is laser tag? Can I use a lightsaber? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	fixedintime 2015-08-14 09:28 am UTC (link)
	It's a game. Fake lasers, like an advanced form of tag. No lightsabers, we don't want anyone losing hands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As long as it's bloodless. I'm thinking we should see if some of the non-players will set up as a peanut gallery and score death scenes. Teams get extra points for good drama. (Reply to this) (Parent)
