Second Wind

-Virginia's near the outskirts of town. She figured doing this in either the neighborhood, uptown, or downtown would get her in trouble with the drones. So instead she's taken to going a bit out of her way.

What is she doing? Well that's simple. Gun practice.

Specifically, fast drawing both of her pistols on targets placed throughout the terrain (old food cans). After a few shots (they seem to go by in less than a second), she tosses the guns into the air, and in an even faster motion, manages to reload them after tossing a clip's worth of bullets up after them and a swift motion of her arm. In another blink, she fires again (was that four shots or five? Who can tell?), knocking out the last of the targets. Her shooting stance seems to shift the whole time, making it nearly impossible to tell where her body will be positioned on the next shot.

Of course, once all the targests are hit, she can only sigh.-


Still not as good as daddy was...

Let your pistols do the talking, girl.

Yes... actually.

DO I! I haven't shot shit since I got here! Hand 'em over! [YOU JUST BECAME HER NEW BEST FRIEND]

I see; so the meaning stays the same while the word changes. Of course, I believe the stories are that they once were called Migratory Birds, as well, so perhaps the word evolves over time.


Now that I've had a chance to talk to you in person, you slightly resemble someone I knew.

[Just sort of sighs, and waits for Virginia to finish clearing out of her way]

That sounds about right and all, but I think I'd still feel better if things that could instantly kill people from 100 feet away didn't exist.

What's an ARM?

....dragon fossils?

-Virginia hands over ONE of the pistols. No offense, Revy, but Drifter's instincts dictate to never leave yourself unarmed in the presence of a stanger.-

Really? Can I ask who?

-She hops back down to the firing area, standing just behind Maya.-

"Artifacts from Ruin's Memory."

They are guns crafted from dragon fossils. Unlike normal artillery, they are able to form a bond of sorts with their user, allowing for ease of use.

Yes, sir!

[identity profile] 4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com 2010-06-26 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, then, let's see how this goes.

[takes aim, and fires]

Lilka Eleniak. A Crest Sorceress from the Sielje Region.

-Virginia simply watches. Though her eyes can certainly pick up the more subtle movements of gunplay.-

whom I am trying to enable a friend into apping

[identity profile] rapier-ex.livejournal.com 2010-06-26 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
A crest sorceress?

haha kinda wish I could enable someone to app Anastasia /wants to work on some headcanon for Marivel

[identity profile] mymic.livejournal.com 2010-06-26 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[and a description of Lilka goes here because it'd take forever otherwise]

[identity profile] 4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com 2010-06-26 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[and like Virginia before her, she hits the targets]

Well?

[identity profile] revyourengines.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[SCOWL but man it is probably for the best because wouldn't it be nice to shoot some people. Revy grins as she fires from can to can in the blink of an eye, pegging each one square in the center, before the final shot merely clips the side of a can.]

Whaaaaat!? Aw, this is bullshit! I've been stuck in this damn town for so long that my trigger finger's getting rusty! What the hell!

WA2 seems to be the game least RP'd from for whatever reason

That's... pretty amazing! Though anyone with a Medium can use Arcana in our time. Invoking the power of the Guardians grants that power.

Not bad. You've done better, though, if I'm gonna be honest.

[identity profile] rapier-ex.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well it really wasn't that bad, all things considered. But your hand did slack slightly on that last shot.

[identity profile] 4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I...just need a little more practice, is all! I'll be even better than before!

sob. I wanna say Atelier too but idk. now watch me make a legend of dragoon muse

[identity profile] mymic.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Seems a lot of things have changed, then, over time.

[identity profile] revyourengines.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
I know! Goddammit, this is really pissing me off! Fucking... goddammit!
