13th: The Choices of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[Voice]

[This post comes up about an hour after the draft announcement and her reaction to it. It's cool, simple, to the point. Whoever wants to run into her will run into her during the course of the next day or two (and feel free to action that!) when she goes about "business as usual." Fur now, she's been training in magic and hand to hand, but neither is going to be efficient here, so-]

Someone teach me how to shoot a gun.

[And who knows, maybe people will reply to her about unrelated garbage too. She's still trembling, sitting on the roof of her house tonight

I've got a trainer, but if they suck I'll call you, or maybe I'll see both of you.

[She doesn't know. Two days. She has less than fifty hours to master the use of a pistol enough to defend herself]

-Which of those models has the least recoil?

[godbent]

[She just stays silent. I thought it was for tomorrow, Winry? She waits to see what the blonde has to say]

[action]

[godbent]

[She doesn't turn. In fact, she's mildly surprised that it's Neku who comes first, not Shiki. She almost would laugh but... nothing's funny here]

Yo.

A gun isn't a good choice for something like this.

Walther P99 then. I'll meet you there in two hours. [It's obvious Haruhi doesn't really want to use a gun and going to battle is always a scary thing. Giving the other some time to deal with other things first is probably for the best.]

...If that's what you think you need to protect yourself, please be careful.

Why not?

[She won't bother to ask why he's saying that or how he would know.]

[godbent]

[She grits her teeth here. What she thinks she needs? What she think-]

What other options do I have?!

[She's not a good enough martial artist, she's not a soldier, she's not anything]

Let me know if you need me, then.

Beretta. Ask for a pistol grip to take even more of the edge of, if you can.

[Not sounding super confident himself over here, but he is trained for battle at least, even if not to kill. Or for a war.]

... I can't really see you with a gun, chief.

[godbent]

[...Hah]

Give me your name first, but I'll see you there.

Anyone ever tell you that you're a scary old guy?

[sortabeautiful.livejournal.com]

[ he glances over the post... that's haruhi, right? formerly ki. whatever. the werewolf grinds his teeth.

at least with bil, people going usually had some sort of reward. something more than 'just live' to motivate them. something to... even make it feel like it's more of a choice. ]

I picked up on how to shoot a rifle back home. [ but he doesn't have any use for that. ]

[Voice]

[godbent]

I'm Japanese, of course you can't.

Two days isn't really enough time for you to learn how to properly use one. Most guns have a painful recoil to them. [Well, that, but mostly Vash just doesn't like the idea of someone who has probably never seen real fighting like this using a weapon that can so easily kill.]

[Voice]

[bamfing]

Well, that's not exactly what I meant, but...

[godbent]

No, not a rifle.

[That comes out in one breath. Rifles are long ranges, rifles are set up, rifles kill. It's not something you're defensive with, it's something you're offensive with. The police use pistols sometimes, right? They save people. She doesn't want... no.]

Homura Akemi. I never got yours either.

With remarkable frequency, actually. Can't think why. Faith used to tell me what felt like every other day, and she was once in jail for multiple murders.

[...not exactly comforting, is he, Haruhi?]

Benefits of a Sunnydale education.

[Inhale, exhale]

And if I break my wrist, that's my problem, but even that's better than going in without anything but some stupid martial arts!

[Voice]

[godbent]

[But nothing. she inhales, and then exhales]

You're untouchable, right?

[Voice - Filtered 15%]

[godbent]

[She laughs at that, weakly. It's not at all comforting. It's not funny either, but she feels like that was supposed to be a joke, so she might as well humor him]

[Voice]

[bamfing]

Well, not untouchable... but I do pretty good.

[Though in a fight like this... he might have to fight like Graydon did. Quick and dirty.]

[sortabeautiful.livejournal.com]

[ A pause on his end. He runs his fingers through his hair - it's growing shaggy, he'll need to cut it before he rushes off into danger.

The third party are no different from vampires in his mind. Sure... they break easier, but they're still out to rob people of the lives that they're given. That's how he gets on by. ]

Maybe someone should set up a class...

Do you think I would know?
