[ACTION] oh wait before I go to bed....atrumcanisAugust 19 2011, 07:36:02 UTC
[Wherever Jack is in the firehouse... whatever time of day... whatever he's doing, none of this matters. This is a matter above logistics and logic in general.
Whenever, wherever, whatever: Sirius jumps out behind him, suddenly, and without warning. Maybe Jack heard him coming. Maybe Jack expected this, anticipating that this would happen again--because of course this isn't the first incident. Nevertheless, Sirius jumps out at him.]
[Sirius gives a triumphant laugh and twirls the water pistol around his finger, then blows across the end of it and jams it into the waistband of his jeans.]
I know that. But I mean-- in my time, guns were a hell o' a lot bigger.
[He looks at it once more before grinning and taking aim at Yorick. The puppy gives a loud bark of surprise at the sudden cool water and scrambles up, looking around wildly for the source.]
[He laughs--oh, the stupidity of Yorick. Even when there's no source of water to be found, Yorick still continues to look about suspiciously, uncertain.]
[No, he doesn't know, actually, but he doesn't say that. No use in looking stupid, right? He reaches out to scratch at Yorick's ears, considering the measure.]
Imagine if they had a water-rifle, then--you could nearly kill someone that way!

[He lifts Yorick as he sits up.]
What the hell is that?

[He pulls out the pistol again and shakes it at Jack.]
It's a gun!

See, the stopper at the end--you put the water in there.

[Jack examines it while Yorick-- after inquiringly lifting his head for a moment-- goes right back to sleep on Jack's lap.]
God, guns've changed.

Here, what d'you mean, bigger--how big?

[He holds out his hands, demonstrating the size. Yorick whines softly as the confusion evidently becomes too much for him.]
