((Idek with that title x DD))
The campus for the most part was pretty quiet and bland. There was no loud music, no ruckus not even the normal murmuring students passing by the halls to get to class. The field trippers were back but things still seemed to be as quiet as ever around this place.
And yes, it bothered Charlie some. What fun was a quiet campus? No new adventures no new students to terrorize. It was just boring with a soft serve of bland on the side.
But that was okay. He wandered the campus with his hands carelessly tunked in his pockets. The demons long sleeves trailed out of the pocket in an awkward fashion. But Charlie didn't seem to mind as he went on his way kicking a can from point A to point B.
The loud and slightly annoying aluminum clinking sound could be heard by anyone approaching making Charlie pretty easy to pin point.

(( XD I love it~))
The hooded figure popped dramatically around the corner, pointed a finger at Charlie, and intoned "YOU. I've been looking for you." Then he grinned, eyes curving in the shadow of the hood, and added, "You're going to learn to shoot a rubber band properly. Your aim was atrocious."

There was a finger. Then there was a hooded figure. Charlie stopped dead in his tracks and stared at the finger pointing at him as the figure explained that he was to learn to shoot a rubber band properly. Needless to say, a stupid grin had sprouted on the demons face.
"Oh! Right! Robot making class!" Now Charlie was scratching his chin, "I think we should do this yes. Ummm..." The demon dramatically pointed at the hooded figure. "You got any rubber bands?"

"Do I have any rubber bands," Nahm snorted. "Of course I do. You never know when you're going to need one in an emergency. Useful little things." He produced a handful of the items in question out of a pocket somewhere. "Paper clips, a couple of marbles, and an eraser, too," he said. "I can hide all kinds of things in this." He tucked the rubber bands back into the pocket from whence they'd come and patted his robe. Both protective and useful.
"We should find a spot to practice where we'll have some room to shoot and some targets to shoot at. Preferably moving targets," he specified cheerfully. "You got any ideas?"

Nahm made one of the best points ever. You really never knew when you would be in need of something. Specially a rubber band shooter. He just nodded his head in agreement and listened to the hooded boil.
"I actually do have a few ideas." Charlie rubbed his chin some, "How about the roof of the cafeteria? Or um. The library? OR .." He rubbed his chin some more still thinking.
"I think any where there are students works~ Uh. Or we could shoot dubbits by the school pond~" Charlie wasn't one for minipet violence really. But being shot by a rubber band didn't hurt too bad. It was only a mild annoyance, right?

"We can try it out on the dubbits first," Nahm decided. "Later, when you've got the hang of it some more, we can go snipe from the cafeteria roof." His grin expanded. He liked Charlie, he decided. "Shall we?" He bowed deeply and swept an arm out in the general direction of the pond to indicate that Charlie should precede him. ... He wouldn't even snap any rubber bands at the demon's butt. Not until they reached the pond, anyway.

"That sounds like a good plan to me." He gave a thumbs up which looked weird under his long sleeves. But it worked some how. "We shall~" Charlie happily took the lead to the pond. It had never occurred to him he him self may be a moving target. But it was fair game in these rubber band matters. And the pond showed promise to it being a good dubbit shooting day. Plenty of the species confused critters littered the shore and water. Some of them were just asking to be hit by a rubberband, but where was the fun in that. "Ready when you are~"

Nahm glanced around and selected a bench as a good spot to settle in. "Here," he said, and patted the spot beside him. "No reason to be uncomfortable. Anyway, it's good to be nice and steady for practice. Here," and he hauled the handful of rubber bands back out of his pocket, dividing them into roughly equal shares and handing half to Charlie. "How about a contest? Ten shots, loser buys winner a Choke-A-Cola."

The demon took a seat next to the cloaked boil and accepted the hand full happily. The two on that bench looked harmless enough. Almost like old ladies there to feed the dubbits, but the truth couldn't be further from that.
"Choke-A-Cola? I'm in bro~" A contest made this all the more interesting. There, a dubbit in plain sight, Charlie pulled back on his rubber band. He ended up pulling a little to hard and snapped the band right in his face. He let out a curse and rubbed his face.

"Careful. These things can be dangerous. Or, well. I guess not dangerous, but they do sting if you do it wrong." Nahm took careful aim at the dubbit that Charlie had been targeting. Zing! The mini made an indignant squawking noise and waddled hastily away.
Nahm grinned. "You've gotta look down the line of the band," he instructed. "Get it lodged good under the claw on your thumb and make sure you've got a good grip with the hand you're pulling with."

The demon watched as the dubbit he'd been aiming for was hit effortlessly by the other boil. It was plain to see from his expression that he was impressed. Charlie readied another band.
"Okay so... Like this?" Low and behold, Nahms instructions worked. The demon hit a dubbit square in the rear which in turn caused the creature to squawk and follow suit after the dubbit Nahm hit.
"WHOAH!" He was smiling bigger now.

"That was great!" Nahm patted the other boil on the shoulder. "Good shot. See, I knew you could do it."
He picked up a fresh rubber band and selected a dubbit - one actually facing him this time. The overconfident choice cost him, though; the dubbit spotted him as he aimed and went waddling rapidly out of the way, causing Nahm to miss completely.
Nahm coughed. "See," he said. "Moving targets. It's more of a challenge."

Charlie watched the dubbit move out of the way. It really surprised the demon to see Nahm miss. Kind of made him want to shoot the one that got away but Nahms advice seeped through. Moving targets were harder to hit.
So, he chose a lazy looking one and shot it in its ears and or beak. The creature let out a squawk but fell asleep almost immediately after.
"Hmmm Moving targets are bad choice. Got it." He nodded to the hooded boil. So far Nahm was being a very good teacher to the pink haired demon.

"Good one! Betcha you could kick that dubbit and it wouldn't even wake up," Nahm said. He tilted his head slightly at Charlie's conclusion, and corrected, "Not a bad choice, necessarily. Just harder to hit."
To emphasize his point, he chose a dubbit waddling lazily past the bench. The rubber band went sailing past its tailpuff - tailfeathers - whatever, if just barely. "You have to think ahead," he explained. "If you shoot at where it is right now, like that, you're gonna miss. You have to shoot at where it's gonna be in a few seconds."

Charlie listened and watched. Nahm just barely missed another dubbit but just barely. Charlie was unsure if he was ready to even attempt a moving target. So, instead, the demon practiced on a dubbit that seemed to have found a piece of bread. It dropped the bread and angrily squawked at the demon.
"Hmm." Charlie rubbed his chin. "I think Im getting the basics now~"
