Not as old as I used to be you know

[originalcopy]

Well, that was totally fuckin' awesome. 

Nothing like waking up and surprise you have arthritis!
I didn't even get to believe that I actually got to live a long life to justify the aches, pains and people treating me like I was totally senile.
Just the being old part.

Hope the rest of you had as much fun as I did!

[private] I suppose I should be grateful that I got to be alive again at all.
And I am, kind of... if I'd been younger I probably would have spent that whole time passed out drunk or something.
Instead, I didn't have much to do but just  be alive.  

And think about shit...  

[You aren't dead at all. You just aren't human. Neither was Tex.
Does it matter what kind of see-through guy inhabiting a suit of armor you are?]

I think I'll go and help Aradia at the outpost after all...  I've got better things to worry about than crazy Freelancer nonsense anyway. 

Total Fucking Bullshit... end of story.  [/private].
[and with that Church is going to grab his sniper rifle and make good on his "shooting holes in the castle" promise.  Because, fuck you castle that's why!]

Action forever!

[Have a still old and worn down Protoman watch as you shoot at the Castle.]

Interesting way to waste bullets.

Ditto!

[originalcopy]

Totally fuckin' worth it too!

[He picks a particularly decorative corbel and blows a chunk out of it. He's much better at hitting inanimate objects... good for him, bad for the castle.]

Besides, I can always just get more.

[whistles_the_blues]

[Okay... Robots causing needless mayhem, maybe he wasn't so far from after all. Protoman is just going to walk up whined Church and lift up that big oval shield of his and attempt to whack Chruch off the back of the head with it. It's far from a sneak as his joints are pretty rusty and loud.]

Knock it off.

[Church is mostly ignoring Protoman in favor of getting some pent up aggression out on the Castle. He knows the Castle will just repair itself anyway.
However, when the sounds of aged metal joints gets too close for comfort he'll turn around.]

Uh, what are you...?

[and get a face full of shield. Fortunately for Church his armor is built to take much worse than that. It's still enough to send him backwards and to confuse the shit out of him.]

Ow!
Hey you rusty old heap! What the fuck was that for?!

[whistles_the_blues]

It was to stop you from being an idiot.

[Blunt as always.]

Are you malfunctioning, or just another one of his creations? If you're "smart" enough to shoot attack a castle with a rifle, it could go either way.

[originalcopy]

The fuck are you talking about?

I don't malfunction... I'm not some damn machine!

[Alright, so he may have said that a little more defensively than he would have liked. And he is in a robotic body, not that the old heap of rust would be able to tell. It's the principle of the thing. He is not a machine. He takes his helmet off.]

I'm Leonard Church and I'll be an idiot if I damn well feel like it!

[whistles_the_blues]

Oh, my mistake.

[He's not going to question it, he doesn't care what this guy does or doesn't consider himself.]

You can be an idiot all you want, but next time do it somewhere where you wont potentially hurt someone.

[originalcopy]

[Church scowls]

I'm not going to hurt anyone... I'm not even shooting in the direction of anyone.

[whistles_the_blues]

[He doesn't seem convinced.]

Shooting at their home seems like a good way to make a mistake.

[originalcopy]

God Damn it I'm not going to.... No, you know what fuck this!

I don't need this shit.

[Church slings his sniper rifle into it's place on his back.]
