BBS: Thinking

Anyone got a gun I can borrow?

It's for practice - I wanna test it out on some grats. I have to take an extra quarter for my major, and I'm thinking of at least trying an actual weapon out. It'll probably be blunt weapons, but I should consider the other options as well - even the ones I didn't do too well with in the Intro class.

And if someone can give me a demo of Indirect magic, I'd appreciate it. That's the magic class I'm leaning towards.

ESPIO

[It's a partial truth. In fact, he's worried time compression will bring a certain someone here, and for once "just shoot him" is an option he's willing to consider.]

[This is a cringe, not that Espio can see it. While Tobias may be "better," he still doesn't like guns at all.]

I think you'd fit better with blunt weapons.

So do I, but it doesn't hurt to try something different. Being able to use something with a bit of range could help, tactically speaking.

[There's a noticeably long pause.]

I guess.

You're disappointed, aren't you?

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[There's another pause.]

Yes. And a little scared.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Why scared? I know I said I'm not very good with them, but that doesn't mean I'll do something stupid.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

That's not it. I know it's stupid, but they still scare me. Nothing good's ever come from them, so I don't like thinking of people I love using them.

Hi Espio,

Were you looking for a particular kind of gun? You could borrow one of my pistols if you like.

Long term, I'd rather have something with more range, but that'll do. I don't really "do" firearms, so the short range is actually probably a good idea. Thanks.

I think short range is easier to start with, anyway.

I'll drop one off with you some time. Good luck!

[fierybluebird]

You're thinking of taking up guns?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

That's what I just said, isn't it?

[fierybluebird]

I'm expressing confusion and shock. It doesn't suit you, eh.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

I know. Your point?

There's something I want to fight that I can't counter short-range.

[fierybluebird]

Oh?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Take a guess.

Time compression hates us all - if he shows up, I want to be prepared.

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

If you wish it, if you let me know the time you choose to practice, I could observe?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

I got someone to loan me a pistol, so sure, I guess.

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

I'm not the Indirect magic Instructor, but I can show you some of the basics if you'd like.

Fine by me.

I'm more interested in the Haste, Slow and Stop spells than the others.

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

I am free this evening if you'd like to meet me in the training center. I'd be happy to demonstrate those and any others you might be interested in.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Got it.

I'll be the lizard. Apparently I look like a monster, but try to kill me and I'll break your face.

I am an Instructor here and you'd be wise to remember that Cadet Espio.

[lovesthehero.livejournal.com]

[Implying she'd kill anything = cranky Deed. So after a moment, she adds a second comment.]

A human's life, a monster's life. A life is a life and should not be taken lightly.

[She pauses, before adding on as an afterthought.]

I'll, as you put it, be the elf.

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

I'm not a monster, anyway. I'm a chameleon.

Besides, I was just saying. I've had problems before.
