I rather like the rain, walkie. The sound especially for some reason. Although for ambient sound I have to say, thunderstorms with plenty of lightening bolts and hail at the same time, so it can be heard coming down to the ground, and especially bouncing off the glass of the windows and doors. Bugger me if I know why I like that combination as much as I do and so specifically, but I do:)
I could compromize QV..a pair of fire extinguishers and gas masks for the pair of us (or three if you enjoy fireworks and have an open mind as to the term 'take COV....', a piezo-ignition gas torch, I'll take the weight on my back, build the rest to be lightweight, she aims, pulls the trigger and we BOTH go see 'twilight', whilst I modify one of the extinguishers to take a compressor and modified one-way valve, prepare the contents of each tank (if anyone has any sense after a warning is loudly shouted by both of us, at least one front-row seat better be left free, or two if we don't share during the first episode of that twinkling nancyboy slag's busily twinkling in the sun and getting the crap knocked out of him by a pack of oversized wolves that at least actually don't require a shirt-mounted set of nametags proclaimning 'hexenwulfen' to be told apart from the bloodthirsty (allegedly) undead that are too prissy to bite anybody:P
and of course we share the advance, a pair of sidarms of a caliber and style to suit)-with large UV torches in place and silver bullets (JHP with a holy water filling for unispecies general-purpose supernatural critter-disposal??
) of rail-mounted flashlights split 50-50), we both work on the menu to suit us both (well really, what auties/aspies wouldn't, assuming one size doesn't fit all) and some creativity on my part that isn't too fussy about a nitrogen-pressurized tank for the more...ahem..volatile half of the mixture and a stable compressible oxidizer that stores fine as a cryogenic gas in the presence of liquid oxygen, or perhaps an alternative oxidizer
Would take me a while to come up with the right blend that behaves itself under pressure with the right fuel mixed in with a suitable oxidizing gaseous propellant, complimentary hypergolic fuel as a binary mixture and doubtless a fair number of smoking craters somewhere about 3/4 of an hour on a bike during my part of the design) or alternatively compressed air-fuel mix, single tanked design and getting...creative...with three marx generators, some heavy-duty insulating exterior materials, a LONG barrel and a pair of flashlamp-pumped lasers.....
I'm sure we could find a means to combine the two and in a way satisfying to those at large, at least the ones that are moving forward as opposed to hurrying in the opposite direction She might want to find suitable earplugs or earmuffs, depending on how loud the fuel mixture roars and how loud the spark gap discharges are, whilst I'd be quite happy with some of those headphones that are shaped like earmuffs rather than the kind that droop from a couple of separate wires, and for some reason cannot fit in my ears. Unless going with full-face gas masks that ought to dim the ambient noise level during operation of the..well I'm not so convinced either of us would class it as a fire extinguisher or extinguishers anymore. The potential blowtorch part though, I think yes. Mostly. In a manner of speaking. Same effect, same direction of travel for the ignited fuel...same effect on whoever the bugger is that comitted something with a bathtub full of glitter and glue that were it done with a human or animal would certainly be considered grounds for....not quite sure but neither of us would want to find out, much less experience what it would be grounds for.
We'd certainly make a hot pair. Or at least a hot one. (and better looking and more stylish as a girl-guy flamethrower team:D) Could work a treat on reheating our cinema popcorn, if we bring a sized-to-fit-four metal bucket with a tight fitting lid. (bound to have one overcooked lot the first time around)
Doing the trick where sunlight just makes the buggers twinkle would be hilarious, I reckon if given the right presentation and set, it could be satisfying AND funny as shit for both of us, keep us both in our fill of the popcorn flavour of each of our choices and enough cold drinks to A-slake our thirsts and B-put the first lot of popcorn out if needs be *smiles sweetly*
*lestat goes in and out between the toolshed and the lab for a while and takes occasional journeys by bike, whilst carrying a rather top-heavy backpack and returning with a much lighter one, and as inconspicuously as possible makes the journeys back take varying routes and takes pains not to be for any length of time in the distance between dwelling and..errm...testing grounds....................... (Her ladyship would be more than welcome to come and help trigger the tests at suitable distance for it to be conducive for the pair of us to remain...well..a pair, rather than a siamese dodecet
