Uneventful Sunday
Feb. 24th, 2013 10:58 pmThough I did get the first draft of my next Comp II paper written, so that's good. :) Dad and I had Subway for lunch and watched part of a program on exoskeletons and using them to enhance the human body. It started off good, but about twenty minutes in it started going on about things that were clearly VEHICLES, so Dad and I shut it off for being silly. Later the parents and I went through two shows about the ocean -- one that threw way too much information at us, and one that was good but made Mom upset when it showed killer whales going after a grey whale calf (and being surprisingly wasteful with it for six hours' work -- only eating the lower jaw and tongue).
One other thing I did today was come up with a ranged weapon for Victor in his little Wonderland adventures. No, it's not that Wine of Ages poison sprayer -- that's still being a pain in the ass. No, this is based on his love of drawing:
The Paper/Quill Bow
I haven't quite decided which I'm going to call it yet, and all of this is open to change. I just thought this was better than throwing the quills like darts (or the Playing Cards, a weapon that's rather useless in AMA). What do you guys think?
In the meantime, congrats to Brave for winning "Best Animated" (still need to see that), and I have YouTube to catch up on. :p

The Paper/Quill Bow
- Equivalent To: The Teapot Cannon
- Look: Large origami paper bow with a string that looks like a line of ink; the projectiles are writing quills with long curled feathers
- Attacks: Shoots quills at targeted enemies. Victor can pull the string farther to “charge” a shot and send the quill farther
- Upgrades:
1: White paper bow, string of black ink; quills are white
2: Blue paper bow with designs of lines, string of dark blue ink; quills are light blue
3: Green paper bow with curlicues, string of dark green ink; quills are light green and make a distinct hissing noise while in flight
4: Black paper bow with blue butterflies, string of red ink; quills are black and make a cawing sound like ravens when in flight
