...extra juice, huh?

[Okay, she has to admit, she's curious to see how these work. She holds out a hand as if to pick one up, then pauses.]

Could I take a look at one of them, or would that accidentally set it off?

[morituramfides]

[When you had to make your own stuff, and your entire life was basically illegal or in a torturous hellhole, extra juice was always a plus.]

Not unless you plan on looking at it with an open flame. You gotta light the fuse for it to blow.

[He certainly made no effort to snatch them away from her reach, so assumably it was OK?]

[She takes one of the cherry bombs into her hand, then, and turns it over in her palm, scrutinizing it.]

Wow... this is really well-made.

[morituramfides]

[Oh yes, please feed his ego. You are quite welcome to do so.]

Of course it is-- I made it. If you don't make it right, it blows up in your face.

[As the many faded burn scars he's accumulated can probably attest to.]

Speaking from experience?

[There's a teasing lilt to her voice, but the mirth vanishes from her eyes when she brings her gaze from the cherry bomb to the plushie she wants to blow up.]

So... how much time do we have between lighting the fuse and the explosion?

[morituramfides]

[He is totally ignoring that speaking from experience thing ahem.]

Takes the fuse about 30 seconds to burn down, so about that much. Don't worry-- the explosion's probably less lethal than on average around here.

[seekinganswers]

Thirty seconds? That's more than enough time to contain it.

[With that, she nods decisively and sets the cherry bomb she's holding down by the plushie, then looks to the other.]

Two at once? Or should we save the other in case there's still things left after the first explosion?

[morituramfides]

[He stood up and tossed the other bomb up and down in his hand a few times with a smirk.]

Depends on how big you want the bang-- but if you wanna blow both, I've got plenty more where this came from for the remainder.

[Sometimes some simple lighter-fluid-and-arson got the job done just as well too.]
