It's a...different(?)... type of multiplayer game.

Is that your only job? And is it career viable or just the current plan. Because, man, that sounds badass. Working outdoors and being Jack Frost? Fun.

Dang, I missed out. I applied for that job somewhere up in Maine, just to get away from hick-ville south USA. I think they thought I was crazy to want to drive that far.

Well, there's two reasons for that. First, the vast majority of people who own guns are, shockingly, relatively normal, peaceful, law-abiding, not-the-type-to-kill-without-being-in-fear-of-their-life citizens. Those kinds of people don't shoot at other people because of a messed up reason in their head. Second, the individuals who have shot up schools, concerts, congressman baseball fields, elementary schools, grocery stores, schools, big box stores, movie theaters, more schools, college campuses (shocking, that's a school as well), night clubs, high schools, and more schools... wow, that's a lot of schools... definitely don't have all of their marbles in their bag. Aside from that baseball field with the congressmen, it would take a fair amount of skillful preparation to be able to even attempt an attack on government big boys. That sort of ability resides with the first group, while the will to do so resides in the second.

He didn't want the folks who would pay him to suddenly believe they didn't have to pay, or be ticked off that they were having to pay (remember, rich folks can get snippy). I can't remember the number that was floated, but it wasn't cheap.

I think there are two types of people who describe dreams: 1) Those who are essentially saying, "Listen to this absurdity, isn't it hilarious/weird?" and 2) those who are trying to pick up insights and think their dreams mean something. It's the difference between reading a fantasy novel that is all about characters, world building, and a cool story, and a fantasy novel where the author is trying to make some point about the real world and how something should or should not be.

I definitely fall in line with OP's sentiments about that second category.

You were three, how old was he? Because bottle rockets to launch you away sounds like cartoon logic.

The dartboard thing is just bonkers.

I think it would be good, but the whole 'mental' aspect of the magic would be impossible to convey well.

THE CHAIR!

Use of Weapons was definitely one of the best of that style I've ever read.
