002 [Action-allllll over the place.]
[Scenario A: Morning]
[Anyone who decides to come into the cafeteria on this fine morning may just find Lightning at a table near the back, an empty plate near a notepad as she jots down notes. Anyone who gets close will see that it's a lesson plan for her classes, but there's a second smaller pad half hidden under it with words like "doubles?" and what look to be tactical plans for...something. It's all in abbreviations, making it ridiculously hard to make out, and it's unlikely that she'll talk about that one.]
[Scenario B: WTR 301 Class; 1400 to 1500 hours]
[Good afternoon, class. Feel free to walk in on your pink-haired teacher doing some last minute gun checks on that row of handguns you can see on a low counter, while a few meters behind there's another counter with cans of varying height and width. Once everyone's in the class and seemingly ready for this, Lightning will gesture over to the cans.]
You'll be shooting these today. The fewer shots you use to take them all down, the better.
[No nonsense tone is get; Instructor Farron isn't playing games, but...then again...when does she play games?]
[Scenario C: after class]
[With classes over and notes attended to until late in the night, anyone who finds their way to the Quad will find Lightning sitting on a bench, performing routine maintenance on one of these, seemingly without a care to the world around her. Feel free to approach and ask her just what kind of weapon that is, or to just stare. Though that second option is likely to get you an odd look, she won't bite.
No promises on the lack of linefacing, though. She does that a lot.]
[ooc: interact where you please~ just stick which scenario in the subject line and you're good to go!]

no subject
[Really, what would the two of them not do for Hope? Training was the least of things he could ask.]
I don't know. Fang sure caught me off guard the way she can use a gun.
no subject
You sure it was the first time she used one?
[Fang might be a rather special case, but still. Not even she can get everything right on her first try. ...Can she?]
no subject
[Lightning would have done better. Fang had wasted a lot of bullets, even though her results had been unquestionable.]
no subject
[Lightning would have done better in terms of aiming before shooting, sure, but she wouldn't have taken down as many enemies; Fang had gotten the job done and that was what really mattered.]
no subject
[Which is a weird thing to say about Lightning and Hope nearly being killed, Hope nearly killing him, and him nearly dying from a fall.]
no subject
Most people don't count getting nearly blown up and then falling a few stories as good memories, Snow. I'm beginning to wonder if you hit your head on the way down and we just never noticed.
[Yes, she is teasing. ...Mostly.]
no subject
The whole nightmare was worth it just to get your blessing to marry your sister. I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't come around.
[Well. He knows what the old him, the unbranded him, would've done, and these days he's not proud of it.]
no subject
[But his Mom might still be alive. Would it be worth the exchange? She can't say for sure.]
You'd have figured something out, or just charged right in like you always did. Can't say it would have ended well, though.
[More like it would have ended up with at least one of them in need of a hospital bed, and Lightning didn't like that one bit. Especially since she can remember those early days before the Purge; all that anger and fal'Cie knew what else might have ended up killing Snow. Now..now that's something she can't think of doing without her stomach tensing. He's family now, after all.]
no subject
[Hindsight made it clear how very unlikely that would have been.]
Woulda ended horribly.
no subject
[Is she trying to change the topic? Not really. She's thought about it and knows that now that won't happen, but back then, it might have. Not really something she wants to dwell on.]
no subject
Would you believe a couple kids here stole my hoverbike and took it out for a joyride?
no subject
I'd believe that they stole it, but not that they got it off the ground. Those things aren't easy to handle.
[Especially for a couple of kids who don't even know how to control it to begin with.]
no subject
no subject
You tell her to talk to Sazh? He should be able to give her some pointers.
no subject
no subject
Probably not. Would have been better to tell her once you got them back on the ground.
no subject
[He knows they think he's an idiot. Watch him not care.]
no subject
[Because Lightning has indeed watched him not care; he got through to her, saved her, and that last bit was without even really trying, so if he really wants to...she has no doubt he can get through to a couple students.]
no subject
Don't know. All I can do is believe, but that's easy enough for them to pretend doesn't exist when they're not in my classes.
no subject
It might be easy enough for now, but with enough time, it'll get through to them. They'll start to wonder if you're right and just go from there.
no subject
[Snow can't lose all hope, but he does recognize that he might not be able to save everyone. That won't stop him from trying, of course...]
no subject
[That much Lightning knows for a fact, and it shows in her tone even as she begins to gather her things.]
Still, if you need help...you know you can call me.
[She would come to his aid, if he really needed it. That much she was also sure of.]
no subject
[In other words, the strict sort as opposed to the laid-back sort.]
no subject
[Because while "Kiden" is something to go on, it's not much, really.]
no subject
[But there's only one of each, here!]
