Target #6 - Bullets for Brains

[[To Everyone]]

[Sniper was feeling the daily grind getting to him.  So to appease his need for a little excitement, he went out and bought himself a new toy.

Anyone out and about would see the cheerful man whistling as he walked down the street.  A hunting rifle case hanging over his back and a box of shells in his hand.  This was the start to a

[Margot's out on the lawn of 1250 Williams Road playing mini!Scout. While she's not wearing the uniform he got for her (it's still too nippy out for shorts), she's got the bat and she's taking practice swings at the air.

When she sees her neighbor, she stops midswing curiously, staring at the objects he has. There are no guns in Margot's world and the shape of the case has her intrigued.]

[Sniper recognized the place. So they had two daughters there?

Wait for her to swing wide, step in close and use the knife to end it before she could back swing.

Sniper's thoughts though did not show on his face as he gave her a friendly smile.]

Hello there. I think you're swinging a little high for baseball. I have a mate who has a terrible swing as well, though I suppose he isn't trying out for the major leagues or anything.

[Not at all talking about or drawing attention to his own new little toy. It wasn't something for kids anyways in his mind.]

...My aim was never very good?

[She shrugs, eyes still flicking to the object, curious.]

'Sides, I haven't actually played a game of baseball since I was about knee height, anyway.

[bloodon_myknife]

Well then keep up the practice.

[He'd ignore where her eyes went, pretending not to notice.]

So is there a baseball league forming too around Mayfield?

[freakinblur]

...ya want me to buy red shirts? What the hell for? I mean I can grab ya all that shit no problem, but hearin' ya ask for red is pretty weird.

[bloodon_myknife]

It's a suprise. I'll fill you in as soon as I get things started mate. Nothing big, just giving back a bit to the community.

[A raised eyebrow from the ever-curious neighbor]

[Sniper would notice the look and just smile.

Not enough time to close the distance. Use the nearby rock to stun her before catching up and finishing the job.

All just thoughts in his head. His friendly smile didn't fade and he even waved to her as he headed past.]

Good day Ma'am. How is it treating you?

[playswithwater]

[Tree-friend waves at you from... a tree]

That looks dangerous...

[bloodon_myknife]

[He'd give an amused smile to his tree friend.

Even if he hit the ground running, plenty of time to get the gun out and a shell loaded.

Sniper waved to the curious man in the tree.]

Only when loaded. How's the day treating you?

[bloodon_myknife]

[Unlike with everyone else that passed. Sniper did not look over. He didn't wave. Maybe he thought she was a drone? Or maybe he did recognize her...

Sniper just passed on by as he made his way home with his new toy.]

[bloodon_myknife]

[Once Lisa was long past and running, Sniper would turn to a drone and greet the woman cheerfully as anyone else. When asked about the rifle though he mentioned hunting and target shooting.]
