I realize this is sort of coming out of left field. It's so far left that it's left the field and into the parking lot adjacent to said field.

But.


Is there anyone here who could help me build a catapult?


It's for a friend.

It's probably a little rude to be asking questions like that.

[neverfeltbetter]

I think, just this once, I've earned the right to be a little rude where this guy is concerned. So what did he say he wanted it for?

[deadly_ned]

He's bored. Apparently.

[neverfeltbetter]

And this is really the best cure for that? We have a library.

[deadly_ned]

Arthas is more of an...outdoorsy sort of person.

[neverfeltbetter]

So take him for a nature walk.

[deadly_ned]

That might not go so well for nature.

[neverfeltbetter]

And the catapult will?

[deadly_ned]

It'll keep his attention focused on one spot at one time.

So essentially yes.

Ay yi yi

[How is he making sense right now?]

Ned...

Good luck finding someone to help you with it.

[Because, nope. Still not gonna do it. Can't talk him into it. Nope.]

[deadly_ned]

You don't think it would be an interesting thing to learn how to make?

[neverfeltbetter]

I think there might be more interesting things.

[Don't you dare try to talk him into this.]

[deadly_ned]

Maybe not to someone used to waging war on a global scale.

Think of how you would feel if you went from commanding armies to a small ship with less than a hundred people on it, none of whom give you the respect you're used to.

[neverfeltbetter]

I'd feel like re-examining the choices that got me here.

And in the meantime, what would you do to relax and enjoy yourself so that you weren't stressed all the time?

Because the Barge makes you stressed and sometimes watching television doesn't quite do it for everyone.
