bottle-rocket crossbow
This is a portable crossbow with a special attachment that lets it fire lit bottle rockets in addition to regular bolts. It's a combination of festive and deadly that could only be done justice by creating an entirely new word. I'd like to suggest "deastive."
Type: ranged weapon (1-handed crossbow)
Power: 100
Cannot be discarded+15% Moxie
+15% Meat from Monsters
+10% Item Drop from Monsters
Shoots Bottle-Rockets!
NOTE: This item cannot be equipped while in Hardcore.
(In-game plural: bottle-rocket crossbows)
Notes
- July 2007's special of the month from Mr. Store.
- Its Mr. Store description is/was:
- A nifty weapon that lets you shoot bottle-rockets at your enemies. Those bottle-rockets do -- you guessed it -- various things!
- This item was released a few days late due to NS13 delays.
- This item was equipable in hardcore for a few minutes after release.
- The +15% Moxie boost was non-functional for a few minutes after release.
References
- Most likely a reference to Canada day, which fell on July 2nd (the date this Item of the Month was released) in the year 2007 rather than the usual July 1st, because July 1st was a Sunday. The bottle-rocket is a firework, which are completely legal in Canada - less legal in the United States. Betcha Jick didn't think aboot this, eh?
- Less likely a reference to the Fourth of July, as bottle rockets are the cheapest firework available.
- Inventing the word "deastive" to describe the crossbow is likely a reference to Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, specifically the scene in which The Chosen One deems killing people both bad and wrong, and decides it needs a new word: "badong"
- "Deastive" could also be a reference to an early commercial for The Colbert Report, which described the show as "trustigious," a combination of "trustworthy" and "prestigious."
