Just a quick tale about my special skaven character. Written in true skaven style. For details on his custom-made jezzail, his rules are here. --- Night-night, as the man-things call it. The shiny lights of the dark above had vanished, and it was as black as our beloved Underempire. Except for the orange glow of fire-fire at the bottom of the big-big stalagmites of the surface. Man-things lay in a circle of their big skin nests around the fire-fire that the glow came from. My employers had told me the man-things came from stony great nest next to the big-big wet. They came to see if we live-live. Stupid man-things think we don't. And my employers like it that way. Man-things came down into our cave-nests so we kill-killed and ate well. Living man-things ran off to tell their chief-chief in stony great nest. Those man-things in their big skin nests were the living ones. My employers wanted them dead-dead. So my job-job was to make 'em dead-dead. I sat on high-high ground. Ring of big skin nests had two gaps. Big-big one that had two stupid man-thing guards facing out of the nest ring and small hidden one. They get hurt-hurt out of that way if the big skin nest ring was attacked. I know how man-thing minds work. Stupid man-things. There were probably fifteen of them in there. I loaded my boomstick and got to my feet. I had all the time in the world-world to get ready. The night wasn't over yet-yet. I lay on low ground in the green grass, to the left-left of the guards. I moved quick-quick and unseen. Stupid blind man-things. Not used to seeing in dark-dark like me. Boomstick in my hands, I aimed. Two claws sat on two trigger-triggers. I was positioned so that one man-thing was blocking my sight-sight of the other. I aimed at the man-thing, pretty green glow of my boomstick-sight on the side of his head-head. Then, I tugged on first trigger. Big bang-bang and tasty smell of burning warpstone and flesh! Stupid man-thing was thrown to his side, his friend-friend turning around to look at him. Another glorious bang-bang!Warpstone bullet sat between his eyes, letting off tasty green smoke-smoke! Guards were dead-dead, man-things waking up all scared-scared! I had to move fast. More man-thing guards were coming. I pick up my boomstick, and standing up, moving as fast-fast as possible to another position. Less than a minute pass-passed. I positioned myself right-right, so it was easy to move from one spot to another. Guards were probably at big-big entrance. I couldn't see them. Busy aiming at small-small entrance. Stupid man-things would be confused. I waited, until I saw something move-move. Thre pairs of man-things emerged, with mobile bed-beds with wounded on them, trying to run-run. Just as I thought. I took aim, and shot. One fell down dead-dead, his friend trying to hold up mobile bed-bed alone. Another man-thing was hit, but he didn't die! He just stumbled and fell over! But it still slowed down the man-things and that was good-good. Gave me time to reload. They still couldn't see me. I raised my boomstick once more, aim-aimed, and shot! This time, the wounded man didn't get up and neither did his partner. The mobile bed-bed fell over, the hurt-hurt lying on the ground. One of them point-pointed at me. They saw the boomstick flash. I could hear the new guards move-moving to help their friend. I reloaded, and shot again. One of the mobile-bed-bed man-things fell down just like his partner did, leaving two carriers of the hurt-hurt left. I shot again and another carrier fell down dead. The last living man-thing dropped his mobile bed-bed and the hurt-hurt, and ran into the darkness. He'd die soon enough with the wild-things around, since he was unarmoured. The hurt-hurt lay helpless, and the remaining man-things were coming. And after a minute, they arrived, confused, three in total. I had move-moved again and reloaded. I grinned with joy-joy! My job-job was nearly done. I took aim and shot. One man fell down dead with a warpstone bullet in his chest and the other bullet flew into the darkness, missing. My grin-grin turned into a scowl-scowl. I never miss! I reload, and notice them running towards me. They saw the flash-flash, but wouldn't get anywhere near in time. I reload, and fire again. Another man-thing fell, leaving one. I shot-shot again, but it bounced off his armour! He was getting close-closer. I hastily reloaded my boomstick and when I finally finished, stinking man-thing was almost on top-top of me! He jumped, and I jabbed at him with my boomstick like a spear, and shot both bullets at the same time-time. He was throw-thrown back! Dead-dead! My job was done. There were three wounded man-things left-left, but no need to waste-waste bullets. Living man-things are a fine meal-meal! Especially when they can't fight back. I'm Scabsnik the Sniperat, and this-this is my story. |

We are talking about a man - er, rat - with his own personal regiment of jezzail-rats. And this is it. It's cheesy, but it is characterful. And thanks for the compliments. |

Just got to reading this - very enjoyable it was too! Not many people write in the first person, and it was a really nice change. Kudos to your title too - 'Chitter Chitter Bang Bang' - very clever and apt for the story. Big thumbs up from me
