[ Anyone want to poke around with guns? Kotoha's had plenty of time to get the hang of the guns provided to the ship by her security augment, so she doesn't mind teaching others, should they want to know!

She's in the cargo area, guns lovingly placed in a safe area. She stands on one end of the wide open room, blaster in hand, and faces the opposite end. For a second, her eyes flash bright green. ]

Shortcut: target!

[ Poof - a circular target with three red rings pops into existence in midair, across the room and a bit to her left. She very quickly aims and fires, hits the target, and smiles as it drops to the floor.

She'll conjure up targets for anyone else who wants to join in. ♥ ]

[ Perhaps he hasn't been as sociable as he should be, particularly with the newest additions to the crew..and he likely still wouldn't be. However, the sound of the weapons disengaging lures him out and into the cargo bay.

He watches her from a distance at first, though moves closer once she's fired at the targets at the opposite end. This girl knows what she's doing. ]

Who taught you?

[ She lowers the gun when she hears someone behind her, turns to face him with a small, easy smile. ]

Ah, mostly myself. Lots of studying, lots of practice. Though I did have friends who helped show me some things as I went.

[ Guns: one hell of a hobby... ]

But where I'm from, we still have bullets. Not having to reload is kind of weird!

These are different from the weapons I am accustomed to, as well.

[ But weapons aren't hard for him to figure out. As you say: one hell of a hobby. ]

At least they're not so different that we can't figure them out quickly. I was afraid alien technology might be more, ah... extreme?

[ SHRUG. She still feels like she's been shoved into a sci-fi flick, and casually 4th-wall-breaking and trope-spotting are clearly the best ways to deal with that. ]

Are you from earth too, then? I keep hearing that most of us are. I'm Kotoha.

I wouldn't know about that.

[ His expertise really isn't alien technology, just firearms. And also combat, but.. y'know. ]

I am, yes. It's Winter.

[Leanne doesn't bother to announce herself when she enters the room, only claps her hands together once she's fired at the targets, grinning brightly.]

Great job! That was awesome.

[ No announcements necessary! Kotoha turns with a grin, bows with a flourish. ]

Thank you~! Wanna try?

{She claps one last time at the bow, practically bouncing on the balls of her feet.]

Seriously? I've never used a gun like that before.

[A pause and she laughs.] And I've gotta be out of practice with the regular ones...

[ The bouncing! Oh no, how cute! ]

I hadn't either until I got here... But they're not too different from the regular ones! And they make you feel like you're in a sci-fi movie when you shoot them.

[ Still smiling, she holds out the blaster for Leanne to take. ]

Okay, okay! That is pretty awesome.

[Ohhhh man, all right. She can't say no to that.

With another laugh, she reaches out to grab the blaster, carefully testing its weight in her hands.]

Okay. I believe you, but it still feels reeeaaally different, you know?

Mhm! I bet you'll get used to it quicker than you think, though~

[ A smile, and a wink~! Then she points to a switch near the trigger. ] That changes the setting. There's two - one is like rifle fire, and the other is closer to a shotgun. Just to let you know! It was a little weird to get the hang of that.

[ She steps away, faces the other end of the room - her eyes glow again, and if Leanne looks over, she might even see sparks fly from Kotoha's lips as she speaks. ]

Shotcut: Target! Target! Target!

[ Poof! Three targets appear across the room, hanging in midair - two stationary, and one higher up that's moving side to side~ ]

(( OoC: I've been going off of this question someone asked the mods a while back, sooo i think otherwise, we can just roll with whatever, lol. ))

[Leanne nods along to the explanation, taking a step back.]

Okay... All right. I think I've got it. [A grin.] Thanks!

[And she's definitely gotta be getting too into it or something. Because were those just sparks right now?

Yeah. Definitely seeing things.

She takes another step back, adjusts her grip on the gun, and lines up her first shot. And... One, two, three shots.

Her aim isn't the best, nothing's going to be hitting dead center here, especially on the moving target, but it's clear she does have some experience with this.]

[ooc; That's totally cool!! No worries!]

[ Kotoha grins, excited! Clearly, Leanne knows her way around a trigger, and that's pretty excellent. Besides, this is a whole lot of fun already~ She pumps a fist in the air, then starts clapping. ]

Yes! Nice! Ahh, I guess you had practice where you come from, or something?

[She nods, grinning brightly. That's one way to put it.]

Sooomething like that. My friends taught me how to shoot. And I've had to use it for... Um. [She shrugs, her grin turning sheepish.] Work sometimes.

[ Nod! Hey, peacekeeping involves some shootouts now and then - can't be helped. Especially with demons around. oops? ]

Mm. Same. What kind of work do you do?

[ It's pretty clear from her tone that there's zero pressure for her to actually answer - but she is legitimately curious and interested! ]

It's... [A laugh. Explaining Hunters here on the Fleet is still no less weird.] Um. It was kind of everything, you know? We did all the jobs everyone asked for.

We had to find something someone lost, deliver something else... [A shake of her head.] Or fight someone.

It probably sounds reeeaaally weird.

[i am so sorry for this but what you did was just so badass

[she is hearing the weirdest excited UOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! noise from behind her, as this sparkly-eyed little redhead is absolutely taken by her precision and her abilities.]

That was amazing!!!

[ jdsfkla oh no that's precious..!!

She looks over her shoulder and gives him a griiiin, soaking up the attention~ ]

Ah, thank you! I didn't know I had an audience. Now I'm really glad I didn't miss~

Ah--! Should I leave?!

[look at him panic in front of new people]

I don't want to distract you!
