Applied Inventiontronics, Period 4 - Week 14

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

Inventiontronics was in the Danger Shop today, and the Danger Shop looked like a generic field to one side and tall-treed forest to the other.

The guys standing in the field with long black trenchcoats weren't quite so generic, and a few had a bit of shiny metal armor covering one arm. Really, they were probably very hot in those outfits. That was Glitch's general theory as to their disposition.

Glitch, who was standing somewhere about the middle, waved everyone over for a quick explanation. Or, well, as quick an explanation as Glitch could give.

"Today, well, first, your projects are due next week." He let that sink in for a second or two before continuing. "This week, though, you're going to get to learn about defending yourself. With those," he pointed to the men in the severe outfits in the field, "longcoats over there. If you don't want to fight, though, you can head into the forest and deal with the anklebiters. That's probably more evasion than it is defense, but it's good to know if someone is chasing you to get at something you've invented."

It was a loose connection, but Glitch felt it was important and repeated it once before shooing them all off.

But he's a paranoid little mite and he'd learned from Ino well. It trips him, but the other leg is used to push him up and onto...

Well, the broom. But not too high up.

"The Witch's broom, dwarf-get" he said from his perch disdainfully. He knew well enough the kind of insult he was using, but he'd fixed himself to a course and he had to stay it through now.

"And I have been alive for quite some years, though I look it not." And there went his speech patterns.

The red-faced dwarf shook a little in his feathers as he stared, open mouthed, at Liir.

"I told you! Mention of the Thropp third descending, should not have tried to make his ending!" he badly rhymed at his blue-painted companion.

The blue one, though, still stared with a bit of awe at the boy on the broom.

He floated comfortably.

"Will you let me pass? Or once again to be a Horse's ass?"

The blue one shook his head, a little dumbfounded as to what else he should do but let him pass. The red one, though, hurried over to the blue and began to berate him for nearly getting him killed by having him go after a messenger from the Thropp Third Descending with nothing but a stick and some rope.

"Can I walk like man or goat? Or will you make me float?"

He gave them very chiding looks.

"The longer I have to prove this to you, the more danger I put myself in."

The blue one frowned and glared a little, but didn't shout no matter how badly he wanted to.

"Walk, if you wish, but your feet I'll not bow to kiss."

The red one just shook his head at the blue and sighed. He couldn't ever not be difficult, could he?

"Not a kiss from you I'll ask, but to yourself you keep your traps," and it was a horrible rhyme but the broom helped. He stepped back onto the earth and started along his way.

"Good day to you all. And thank you for your assistance."
