[video] so i'm glad we had fun and we made a neat gun
[You would think that exploding goo rats would put a damper in anyone's mood, and you would probably be right, for most people. Not Shaun. Sure it was a few days ago, but he's still riding the high from sitting in a makeshift treestand above the door for After the End Times and bullseyeing goo rats.
He waves at the camera, grinning.]
Hey, everyone. I've noticed over the past few months we've lost a lot of the people who were offering shooting lessons. [He really, really misses Cissie.] I don't know that I'm the best or most patient teacher in the world, but I'm offering. Anyone who wants to learn, let me know, and I'm happy to help you out. We can start small with like, paintball and shit if that makes you more comfortable.
[Somehow not everyone is totally comfortable with firearms? WEIRD.]
Anyway let me know. Either over the network, or you can show up at After the End Times. I'm usually around.
[He offers a thumbs up to the camera and then cuts the feed.]

I'd still be interested. But...what's paintball?
Video
Paintball is first of all--awesome. You use paint pellets instead of bullets and it's usually really messy and a ton of fun for everyone playing. Absolutely my favorite thing to do in the maze.
Video
[She didn't realize anyone played games like that in there. She hasn't explored it very much herself though, or...gone looking for people playing games at all, really.
But honestly, it sounds fun. It sounds like something she would never be allowed to do at home.]
It doesn't hurt, right?
Video
I want to say no, but it's not like we're talking squirt guns or something like that. They're paint pellets that burst on impact, so I usually recommend long sleeves and protective eye gear, but on the whole it's fairly harmless. It's supposed to be for fun, not to hurt anyone.
Video
I want to try it. I don't know how good I'll be, but I want to try.
Video
Whenever and wherever, and let me know how you feel about glitter, because i am all about neon and glitter for my paintball, but I can be a reasonable person.
Video
[Getting coated in glitter sounds fun - almost as much fun as coating someone else in glitter because they couldn't get out of the way in time.]
video
I don't know if I'd be comfortable with a real gun.
video
[Taking someone too far out of their comfort zone is sort of the opposite of what he's trying to do here.]
video
[This is a great idea that can't possibly go wrong.]
video
Great! Let me know when you have some time. Turns out it's pretty slow for an Irwin between events.

video;
You're good at shooting? [ Sounding a tad sceptical. ]
video;
[Ah yes. The person he almost trampled. He can understand the skepticism, but this is technically something he's good at without weird superpower discs.]

But I guess it couldn't hurt to try. My parents were really into that sort of thing, but I only tried it once myself.

...Professionally or as a hobby?
no subject
[ A kind of escalated hobby, but still.. ]
I don't know too many details about it, since I only found out about it once I was already a lot older.
no subject
My folks were kind of into it professionally and shared it with us at a pretty young age, so I sort of know a lot of details, and got a lot of practice.
