Bang, Bang. My baby shot me down~
IDW Perceptor
The calm silence of the woods was shattered as a shot fired and shattered the boulder that had been its intended target. Birds scattered as the boulder crumbled and fell to the ground, the area going dead silent once more after the birds distanced themselves.
Perched atop an outcrop, Perceptor was stretched out on his stomach, cheekplate resting lightly against his rifle as his his optics narrowed a bit. It had been quite some time since he had really done anything with his weaponry, considering the cease fire that had been called at some point during everyone's arrival in the Nexus, and he felt now was as good a time as any to get in some practice. The crystal samples he had retrieved thanks to Sideswipe had been dropped off at the lap for processing, the sniper making sure everything was running smoothly with the processes before heading out to allow the experiments time to finish. (Breaking down crystal compositions wasn't an easy task after all.)
The sniper was preparing to take another shot when his message center alerted him of a new prompt, an optic ridge quirking as he opened it.
Fun and Games.
Perceptor let out something akin to a snort as he relaxed his position, glancing down at the gun he held.
"Where does one draw the line between 'fun and games' and 'dangerous activities'?" he mused to himself, fingers curling around the trigger some before his vents cycled heavily, the sniper settling back in place as his optics locked on the boulders once more. "I suppose one could consider my work in the lab to be fun under some circumstances." The second shot was fired, another boulder crumbling apart. "But even then, there is a fine line considering it is something of a job at the same time. I suppose...I have forgotten what it is like to enjoy something that could be considered 'fun and games'. I suppose letting Blurr teach me those games he spoke of will be a good thing."
Letting the rifle recharge itself, he brushed aside any other thoughts he had on the subject, taking a third shot as he fell back into a focused state, intend on creating a field of rubble before turning in for the day.
