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...

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.

Really? Can I ask who?

[mymic.livejournal.com]

Lilka Eleniak. A Crest Sorceress from the Sielje Region.

whom I am trying to enable a friend into apping

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

A crest sorceress?

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

[mymic.livejournal.com]

Yes.

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

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.

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

[mymic.livejournal.com]

Seems a lot of things have changed, then, over time.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

[mymic.livejournal.com]

It's to be expected, in any case.

Now, then, do you think you could show me the results of your practice so far?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Another demonstration?

[mymic.livejournal.com]

Yes, if you would.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Give me a moment to set my targets back up.

[mymic.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll simply wait here.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

-After a few moments, she has them ready. They're in different locations this time.-

[mymic.livejournal.com]

_{[She'll just continue to sit over here and watch]}

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

-There's a few seconds of calm... before she draws. In less than a second, all of the targets have been struck.-

[mymic.livejournal.com]

_{[And Virginia gets applause from her one-person audience]}

Well done.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Mm... it could still be better.

[mymic.livejournal.com]

...Don't be so hard on yourself. You'll get there eventually.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

It's not so much that I'm hard on myself as...

Well, anyways, I should probably call it a day soon.

[mymic.livejournal.com]

Oh? Would you care to have a cup of tea with me, then?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

That sounds nice, actually!

[mymic.livejournal.com]

Then would you like to accompany me back to my house?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to, ma'am!

[mymic.livejournal.com]

Then let's be on our way.
