PHASE-12✖Necessary Measures

He was right, being good at this kind of thing is pretty useless. But as much as I hate it, I don't think I can afford to be without right now.

[Sighs before raising a(n apparently new) handgun and firing a few times at a target. His aim is... less than fabulous and entirely inconsistent. So he lowers the gun, inputting something into the computer ( Read more... )

Learning how to shoot? I could give you a hand, it looks like you could use a little help.

freestriker March 1 2008, 19:45:00 UTC

Huh? Oh... yeah. Well, I guess it's more like relearning. It's been a while since I've had any need for this kind of skill.

You should try widening your stance a little. Put your shoulders back. It'll be uncomfortable at first, but it'll get your aim on target. Then, as it gets easier, you'll be able to get sloppier with it.

Ah...! Thank you. [laughs slightly] I probably should have remembered that.

I know that we seem to break the rules around here a lot, but guns are easily available in this city?

freestriker March 1 2008, 19:55:20 UTC

About as 'easily available' as anything else...

Where I'm from, they are heavily controlled. Only people in the police and those sorts of professions are allowed them.

freestriker March 2 2008, 03:26:12 UTC

Hey, it's not like just anyone could get their hands on them where I'm from, either. But here, it's a lot different. I mean, if you need something, you just kind of...

... not like I'm okay with how we go about getting anything here. Cagalli would probably kill me if she found out.

You think a gun's tricky, try shooting swords...

... Have you ever used a gun much before?

freestriker March 1 2008, 20:06:42 UTC

Not in the past two years.

sealedbowsavior March 1 2008, 20:13:25 UTC

Hoo boy... Well, if it helps, you could try balancing a coin on top to help keep you steady? Or something like that.

freestriker March 2 2008, 03:27:35 UTC

Hm. Maybe. I know last time, just figuring out some of the calculations helped out a lot. Took a little longer than any of the adjustments I had to do for anything else, though...

Yes. I don't really like using them too much or anything, but I figured I should probably touch up on it as a 'just in case' kind of thing.
