Second Wind

[bantorain]

-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...

And? What'd he say?

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

He says there isn't one, but that he was planning to make one.

I volunteered to test it out when it was complete, and said I would tell you about it.

_{[Does this count as talking to boys?]}

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

I'd love to help!

-Sorry, she's too distracted by OMGSHOOTINGRANGE to notice.-

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

_{[I-It's okay, self, you did your best.]}

I'll be sure to let him know, then.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

I can hardly wait for it to be set up!

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

Me either.

Well, then, have you finished setting back up?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Let me clear out of your way and then you can have at it.

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

Alright.

Can't say I've practiced lately. Not that this means I've gotten rusty, of course!

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Let your pistols do the talking, girl.

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

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

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

Right, then, let's see how this goes.

_{[takes aim, and fires]}

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

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

_{[and like Virginia before her, she hits the targets]}

Well?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

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

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

I...just need a little more practice, is all! I'll be even better than before!

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Definitely! I'll help out! I need it too, after all.

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

Right, well, thanks _{I guess.}

With any luck, this town will see fit to give us our ARMs back, though.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

I'm definitely praying for that...

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

And maybe it'll return my books, too.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

-Virginia... decides not to comment on that.-

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Hmm? Did you say something?

[4thdimensnskrt.livejournal.com]

...N-no, not at all.

So have you talked to Janus, yet?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

... -A heavy sigh.- Yeah...
