Not pleased.

[halfassed]

I don't do well close up. You know that. There's no range in a place like that.

The rest of it doesn't bother me.

[unmakeme]

It should.

[halfassed]

I'm not scared of monsters.

[unmakeme]

[She just gives him a Look. Not what she meant, Barton.]

[midori_majutsu_shi]

There's range on the deck, and in the cargo hold, but not much. And the halls... Yeah I won't even try to use my longbow in there. Well as a bow.

[halfassed]

If there's a fight, it won't be on the deck or in the cargo hold.

[midori_majutsu_shi]

If there's a fight they might not lest us have time to grab weapons. [She's remembering the video that showed when she first appeared there.]

Who ever's in charge likes to make an impression. More likely piss off their 'precious cargo'

[notascienceproject]

Can always learn.

[halfassed]

[ w t f ]

I won't learn to like it.

[ He is firm on this point. ]

[notascienceproject]

So, you're saying you won't learn hand-to-hand?

[laughingalltheway]

You make it sound like you have enemies to face there. Hah. Do be sure to keep your, ah, friends just as distant, then. Hee hee.

[halfassed]

And what are you supposed to be?

[laughingalltheway]

Me? Me? I'm a lot of things, see, just which answer are you looking for? Friend? Enemy? Oh, do be specific.

[therealgenius]

Trying to clip your wings, Agent Barton? Sometimes, it's necessary. You have to keep them in line, you know.

Birds, I mean.

[halfassed]

You know, maybe I should really listen to you. Friend of mine says you got a lot of experience with birds.

Birds, and Russians.

[therealgenius]

[when you live with this in your facility for like a week you get bragging rights about dealing with birds those things are nightmares, sir>]

About a week's worth, to be fair, but a week with a cockatoo is enough to figure out what you need to do with a bird. They're absolute lunatics.

[aceofkillers]

Been meanin' to ask one'a the you bow boys for a while; why is it you stick with that thing? Slower reload, bigger profile, more awkward ammo (meanin' less ammo overall), the list goes on...

Why not just grab yourself a decent gun and go to town?

[halfassed]

You get me a gun that can change between lethal ammunition, tranquilizers, grappling, electricity and gas, and I'll give up the bow.

Besides, I work at range. A sniper rifle doesn't take down the profile much.

What can I say? It's more flexible. Maybe it takes a little more skill. Can't throw arrows at something the way you can throw bullets, but you can use 'em again, make 'em from nothing, and I make every shot count.

[aceofkillers]

Given the type'a tech you work with? Just switch clips. Though I gotta admit, keepin' cover don't mean much when you hang with the cape crowd.

Hey, there's an idea. Arrow's a lot bigger than a bullet- meanin' it's got a helluva lot more room for modification. Get some'a your gadgety geniuses to work on filling the whole shaft with circuitry or payload or whatever, an' suddenly you're a mobile artillery platform. Now there's a reason to operate with a bow.

Course, keepin' them arrows balanced an' good to fire is gonna be up to you. Should be worth it though, huh?

[callofduty]

The mission doesn't always allow for personal preferences.

[halfassed]

But it's better when you go on missions that suit your skill set.

[callofduty]

Life has a funny way of giving that the finger.

[liugan]

Practice may suit you well.

[halfassed]

I'm not interested. Whatever you're selling, I'm not interested.

[deceptives]

You looking for some excitement?

[halfassed]

Always.
