[Voice]

[This post comes up about an hour after the draft announcement and her reaction to it. It's cool, simple, to the point. Whoever wants to run into her will run into her during the course of the next day or two (and feel free to action that!) when she goes about "business as usual." Fur now, she's been training in magic and hand to hand, ( Read more... )

@jacob black, @vash, @maes hughes, going for 21st century girl, compartmentalizing 101, @leon d.s. geeste, what we're growing up to be, i don't know how to react, self defense for teenage gods, @winry rockbell, @shiki misaki, @homura akemi, @katara, @rupert giles, @yui konagi, @ayumu aikawa, @aether brandier, @mikage, @kurt wagner, @souji okita, @xion, @keiichi maebara, @neku sakuraba, @sigmund, @uriko nonomura

A gun isn't a good choice for something like this.

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] godbent June 2 2011, 03:10:00 UTC

Why not?

[She won't bother to ask why he's saying that or how he would know.]

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] goldenglasses June 2 2011, 03:16:27 UTC

Two days isn't really enough time for you to learn how to properly use one. Most guns have a painful recoil to them. [Well, that, but mostly Vash just doesn't like the idea of someone who has probably never seen real fighting like this using a weapon that can so easily kill.]

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] godbent June 2 2011, 03:17:52 UTC

[Inhale, exhale]

And if I break my wrist, that's my problem, but even that's better than going in without anything but some stupid martial arts!

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] goldenglasses June 2 2011, 03:31:10 UTC

A broken wrist could be the least of your worries with a gun. They can break down quickly and in the hands of someone who hasn't been trained how to use them, could be more dangerous to those around you. It's not as easy as it looks to aim one, not to mention what could happen if it jams and you try to use it without realizing. [Okay, so a gun given to you by the Malnosso probably won't do that, but hey! Scare tatics!]

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] godbent June 2 2011, 03:41:07 UTC

Then what do you suggest, Vash?!

[She growls that. She knows this already she knows all of that or so she likes to believe]

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] goldenglasses June 2 2011, 03:50:20 UTC

Something better suited for someone who isn't use to combat fighting. There are weapons that are designed for stunning and temporary blinding.

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] godbent June 2 2011, 03:54:27 UTC

A flashbang is more dangerous than a gun to someone who doesn't know how to use it, and don't try to tell me a tazer is safe either!

[...]

That said, I'll be requisitioning a tazer too.

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] goldenglasses June 2 2011, 04:17:48 UTC

[Safer than a gun at least.] Alright, that will be a bit better. They don't have such a big recoil.

I can teach you how to aim, if you want some quick lessons before we go. But, I hope you know that there is no shame in not using a weapon if it's not needed. And no shame in staying away from the fighting to help those who are hurt. [Have it for defense? Great idea. Going out to fight? Not so much.]

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] godbent June 2 2011, 04:28:46 UTC

[...Wait did he think-

...]

What kind of an idiot are you? I'm a teenager from Japan on a normal Earth. I belong on a battlefield as much as a child from your world does.

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] goldenglasses June 2 2011, 04:30:20 UTC

Hey! You never know what kids could be reading these days! All those hero stories and such! It fills up their heads and you never know what they'll do next!

[Cut him some slack! It seems on Gunsmoke even five year olds could be packing heat.]

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] godbent June 2 2011, 04:32:27 UTC

[It hurts a little to say but-] I'm not a hero. I'm not cut out for protecting people.

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] Everyone's a hero in their own way~~ goldenglasses June 2 2011, 04:33:43 UTC

That's not true. A person isn't a hero just because they know how to beat someone else up.

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] everyone's got villains they must face godbent June 2 2011, 04:47:31 UTC

Save it.

[She shouts that, because she meant "hero" the way Luceti means it. Which is usually that]

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] They're not as cool as mine, goldenglasses June 2 2011, 04:57:57 UTC

It's true. I know I wouldn't have made it through some of the battles I've been sent into without people there who could help me and watch out for me when I was injured or needed sleep.

[Voice//Filtered from Legato/Yuber] But folks you know it’s fine to know your place godbent June 2 2011, 05:01:24 UTC

Of course not, but I'm not a medic either! I'm not a soldier or a medic or anything except the chief of a club designed for people to forget about stupid stuff like this!
