[b][i][u]Decorations Impractical [/u][/i][/b]
[i]This was a very bad idea.[/i]
Cannon thought as he fiddled with the wires.
He was currently standing on the roof of his ship, which was painted like a candy cane, attempting to install Christmas lights.
Grunting, he heaves the cable up over his shoulder to sling it to the next section.

[i]Arty walks up to the ship and yells up at Cannon.[/i] "What's with the lights?!"
-
Cannon jumps, surprised. "Ah!" He slips, falling from the ship as his leg is caught in the cable. The cable tightens, catching him about two meters above the ground, hanging upside down by the ankle.
-
[i]Arty laughs at Cannon.[/i] "Nice!"
-
He scowls at her. "Yeah yeah, laugh it up."
-
[i]She pokes the hanging Cannon.[/i] "This is perfect!"
-
Cannon glares at her, his arms crossed as he swings back and forth. "Not. Fun."
-
[i]Arty attempts to untangle Cannon, but fails.[/i] "I think you're stuck."
-
"Great. Just great. Stand back, this'll hurt like heck." He pulls himself up, ejecting his wrist blade to cut the cable. It sparays sparks as it shocks him. "Hggggggnnnnnnnnnn...!" He drops onto his head.
-
[i]Arty chuckles.[/i] "Having fun?"
-
"Owph.... I phink my thung phis nummmmmb."
-
[i]Arty tries to help Cannon stand up.[/i] "I'll try to help."
-
"Thphanks...." He tries to stand, stumbling a bit. A large bruise forming on his face.
-
[i]Arty tries to help him walk inside his ship.[/i] "I hope you're okay."
-
"I'll be thphine..." He arrives at the med bay, grabbing a blue pill and takin it. "Ow... I forgot how much electricity csn hurt."
-
[i]Arty hugs Cannon lightly and giggles nervously.[/i] "You actually had me scared for a second."
-
"Sorry. I should be fine now." He pulls his helmet back on. "I have no idea how to work with these decorations."
-
"Why are you decorating? What's the occassion?"
-
"Something called Christmas. Sounded like fun, and seemed like a good way to get my mind of certain... Events. Never did get a holiday before, so now seemed like a good place to start." He shrugs.
-
[i]Arty seems curious.[/i] "Christmas? I've never heard of it. Neither have I heard of a holiday."
-
"Really? Huh. I thought I was the only person with no social knowledge." He jokes.
-
"Well, I'm new to this culture so it's understandable, right?"
-
"True. Aparentally they celebrate a strange man that stalks people amd breaks into houses to deliver presents to those he deems 'nice'." Cannon explains, using air quotes.
-
"That sounds weird. Why would they celebrate a criminal?"
-
"Something about free stuff."
-
"So, who's the guy strapped to the chair?"
