Shooting Range [Saturday evening]

Triela hadn't gotten her entire arsenal out of storage in quite some time, but this evening she felt like running through everything. The lack of missions from home was making her antsy. She just hoped it wasn't also making her rusty.

She'd have to make time to swing by Wellspring again sometime soon to brush up on her sniping skills. They were the ones she used least often, and were likely to need the most practice, after all.

But for now this would be fine. She had a dozen gun cases spread around her and she was carefully checking the contents of each of them in turn.

[Open for all your shooting poor helpless target needs.]

Triela grinned. "While I think that'd be fun, I suspect some people might object."

She cocked her head slightly. "What exactly are you wanting to teach? Most exercises are good at some lessons but not others."

Jak shrugged. Not that he was going to admit that he-- "Hadn't thought that far ahead," he said. "We just haven't had a lot of firearms training. People need to be active."

Because Precursors only knew Jak couldn't sit still for more than five minutes.

"Can't argue with that." Triela was still torn between amusement and aggravation by how many people in Fandom failed to appreciate the value of learning about guns.

"If only to know what their limits are if the next invasion involves them."

She sighed. "What we really need is some live missions, but..." somehow that didn't seem likely.

Jak shrugged. "I still think kicking them out onto the streets of Haven is a good option," he said, snorting.

"Well, it'd be effective," Triela agreed. "But someone would yell at you."

Which... actually... would be pretty amusing to see.

"Yeah," he said, "I'm terrified."

Well. Beyond that aforementioned conversation with Arthur he was never, ever talking about.

"Yeah. I know you have a pathological fear of authority figures." Except for the part where he didn't. At all.

Jak snorted.

"We've probably got some people who don't know how to handle a gun at all," he said, finally. "Maybe we can show them a thing or two."

"Yeah." She sighed. "The number of students who don't know anything about guns is aggravating." Well, aggravating to Triela. It was almost like a professional insult.

"And it's going to be a real pain in the ass next time we get invaded."

Look, Jak had taken rather enthusiastically to the new addition to his fighting style, okay?

"Well," Triela was forced to admit, "we do seem to get along okay. But there are always more injuries than necessary." And, obviously, guns would solve that little problem.

[identity profile] unborn-renegade.livejournal.com 2010-05-16 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"More guns would solve that."

... Sometimes they were scarily in synch.

Triela grinned and nodded. It was good to have someone who understood.

"So, how do you want to get this started?" she asked. "Just an orientation for the kids who haven't used one before, or...?"

[identity profile] unborn-renegade.livejournal.com 2010-05-16 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"We'll probably have to," Jak had to admit. "I'm not sure some of them have ever even seen one."

Neither had he before he got one, but... details.

Triela's sad nod seemed to say 'isn't it sad?'.

"Well, you know I'd be glad to help out with that." She tossed in a friendly smile for good measure.

He grinned back in spite of himself.

He might have leaned sideways. Just a little. "So... we'll talk to Zack at the next meeting."

"Sounds like a plan," Triela agreed.

She reflected, for just a moment, how nice it was that Arthur was gone. Because she would never have agreed to this with him around, and that would be too bad... It sounded interesting, after all.
