Welcome back! Now, do any of y'all want to do me a teeny tiny favor and stand perfectly still while I throw rocks at near your head? I wouldn't ask, except it's just that I'm getting tired of aiming at milk bottles.

I knew there'd be somebody! Just a few quick screening type questions, if you don't mind. How good are you at balancing an apple on your head?

[dogspotting]

pretty ok if i'm concentrating

[unremittent]

Uh huh, uh huh. Okay. And how likely are you to flinch if somebody's hurling a [...] fist-sized rock or rubber ball in your direction? Keep in mind, this person's got halfway decent aim [...] most of the time.

[dogspotting]

0%. i've had eye injuries from not flinching in time because i'm overly eager to see what's going on

[selbydenman]

[...] Any reason you're wanting to switch to a living target?

Not that I don't trust in your ability.

[unremittent]

[selbydenman]

[...] Sure. But. Shadows would make better targets, wouldn't they?

[unremittent]

[unremittent]

I already got five or six in my fanny pack! [...] Although, now that I think about it, a few extras couldn't hurt.

[de_leon]

No thank you!

[unremittent]

You're excused this time.

[de_leon]

Thanks, Petra! May I please be excused from all future times, too?

[opalescents]

Oooooooh. If I let you throw ROCKS at me, will you let me shoot an ARROW at YOU?

[unremittent]

Oh gosh, no! Are you crazy?

[opalescents]

It's been SORT OF suggested but I meannnnt something on your HEAD.

[unremittent]

Baby, I got nothing but respect for your skills, but I wouldn't let me shoot at me.

[...] How do you feel about a moving target?

[coalblooded]

No?

[unremittent]

Just checking! Although, you know what? I'm proud of your good sense.
