At 79‘s after a few rounds of drinks
Fox: is blasting someone immoral?
Wolffe: not if they consent to it.
Cody: depends on who you‘re blasting
Rex: YES?!
I feel dumb...what's blasting? Is that something the kids say? Is it a ~whispers~ sex thing?
shooting, mon ami!
Ok, that totally makes sense. They are blasters, they blast. Duh.
Leave it to my mind to go to the gutter.
But, I mean, if you read it like I did...what I thought kinda makes sense too.
To be fair they are troopers it COULD be a sex thing too. 🤣
Just do yourselves a favor and avoid asking troopers if they've had their blaster serviced lately or if their blaster needs polishing. Oh, and never ask if their tibanna cartridges are full. Trust me.
Noted.
Obi-Wan frowned. "Where's Longshot?"
Wooley muttered "Probably off polishing his blaster..." the chatter around them abruptly died and Wooley glanced up, then froze as he met Obi-Wan's confused gaze.
"Didn't he just clean it earlier? I could have sworn I saw him..."
Waxer choked, and Obi-Wan glanced over worriedly.
"He's uh, very particular about his blaster cleanliness!" Crys blurted, voice high as he desparately tried to distract Obi-Wan from where Waxer is slumped over, trying to hide the giggles.
"That seems a little excessive... Surely over-cleaning can damage the parts?"
There's a strangled sound from Waxer and Boil grabbed him and started to drag him out. "Gonna take him to the medbay sir!"
Obi-Wan watched, one eyebrow raised at the feeling of mirth surrounding them in the Force. It took him a moment, and then it finally clicked. Well. Forgive him for not being up on the current lingo. He can work with this though...
"I trust you're all regularly polishing your blasters?"
There's silence, and Obi-Wan has a moment to wonder if he'd gone too far, before Waxer broke completely and howled with laughter, Boil raising his eyes to the ceiling and groaning.
OMG!! I just now saw this. I'm dead.
Thank you SO much for that!!! I will think about this and laugh the rest of the day.
