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.

You're buildin' him a catapult?

[She's asking mostly rhetorically, because she knows who this is for and she thinks it's sweet. ]

If ya still need another set of hands, Ah'm pretty handy.

[deadly_ned]

I am. And right now only you and Spock seem to think it's a good decision but you and Spock are two of the most rational people I know so I'm willing to hedge my bets.

And Dean, but Dean is sort of the data you throw out at the end because he throws a curveball into every calculation you try to make.

What I mean is.

I'd love it if you came to help.

[Oh Ned, you sweet talker. Are you trying to make her fall in love with you? If you are it's already too late. She's sold. ]

Then Ah'm all yers, honey. Ah'll bring mah tool box.

[deadly_ned]

You have a tool box? I was going to borrow from Dean's maintenance but if you have a toolbox I don't need to bother him.

[la_belle_rogue]

It's one from home. Ah used ta work on cars for a livin'. Though I doubt Ah've got everythin' we need ta build this thing. Might still wanna steal a few of Dean's.

[deadly_ned]

Borrow. Let's not steal from Dean.


But yes, I'll borrow some of what Maintenance has by way of catapult-building.

[la_belle_rogue]

[She's giving you the look that says you're being adorable with your literalness, Ned.]

He can always come steal it back from me. He knows where Ah live.

This is true. But then are we perpetuating a cycle of kleptomania and petty thievery?
