[ Since David's in town, that can only mean one thing. He has to test the locally manufactured slingshots, right?

So if you're out around town today, just during the day, you might find David - although he's actually gotten a coat and pants now, okay, nobody walks around barechested with shorts in the middle of December (but it's okay, David looks pretty good no matter what he wears) - all over town; in the park, in the streets, anywhere at all. He has a slingshot in his hand, but you will probably notice very quickly it's the kind of slingshot a kid would buy at a toy store rather than an actual weapon. Not like he knows it's a toy, he just thinks the quality of slingshots around here sucks now. :|

Either way he will entertain himself a little by testing it though, and even with a crappy kiddy slingshot he is still very good. He manages to hit slight small icicles that have formed from roofs or trees with precision even from a fair distance and other targets, both small and big. (Although he won't aim at anything living right now, don't worry..)

Feel free to witness him in the act. Or strike up a conversation about it with him. ]

[ oh how kind finally something I can really tag!! ]

It is what I am most used to in battle. It is a rather convenient weapon, even if it is underused. [ he stares at the toy. ] This one.. is not quite like my own, though.

[He looks at the toy slingshot.] It...looks like it won't last on the battlefield that long.

[rocker]

That is exactly what I was thinking. Furthermore, it does not quite function the same way my own slingshot did.

[ that was more focus on the sling part of it.. ]

[crownedexorcist]

In what way? Is it built a little differently?

[rocker]

Yes. My own slingshot did not have a stick attached to hold on to.. You were supposed to swing it around to sling the projectiles.

[crownedexorcist]

I'm not quite familiar with that particular design, myself. The ones I know have wooden sticks.

[rocker]

I suppose perhaps the one I use is outdated in this age, but.. I still prefer it above these.

[crownedexorcist]

Because it's familiar to you, isn't it?

A warrior is always more skilled with a weapon he has carried out throughout various battles already.
