Blade 2

[ralschild]

[It's just another normal day in Mayfield, which naturally means at least one of it's residents has to be up to something.  Today that happens to be Kyoko.  She's decided she needs to get out and do something other than sitting around the house; besides, she's already altered enough of the clothes so she can carry her items.  So, what does this

That's gonna dull your knives mate.

*Sniper is standing behind her and to the left, just watching. Really he's critiquing her aim.*

[Kyoko actually turns sharply, her current knife at ready to send it flying if necessary, before she frowns softly at him. You don't just stand behind someone like that, Sniper.]

They can be re-sharpened. Besides, I don't have any straw to make proper dummies.

[And she may just be watching you closely. She doesn't like people coming up on her like that]

*He takes a step back, ready to dodge if she throws at him. Not that he'd be able to move fast enough to escape her blades, but at least it wouldn't hit him in the face.*

If you say so. Jus' seems loike a weird thing t' be practicin' your aim on.

Re: A

[ralschild]

[She lowers the blade enough anyway, when he takes a step back, that her stance isn't so aggressive]

Do you have a better idea? I looked around the house but didn't see much that would work that we didn't actually need.

I don't throw knives, but something softer seems better. Used t' use a mattress when practicin' with my bow, but that would be a lot t' drag out here.

*He shrugged.*

Plates it is I guess.

Re: A

[ralschild]

A mattress is an awfully large target for a bow, isn't it? At least those plates are closer to a man's head size.

[As if this is a totally normal conversation to be having]

*He narrows his eyes at her. Is she questioning his aim?*

It's big, but at 300 meters it serves it's purpose. Jus' practice afterall.

*This is a totally normal conversation for Sniper.*

Re: A

[ralschild]

[She's questioning his use of practice targets and their sizes, yes. That 300 meters doesn't help though. And she's ignoring the narrowing of eyes.]

It still seems an awfully large target. Unless you're fighting a very large man, mattresses are wider and taller than most people.

You ain't seen Heavy.

*Unfortunately for the residents of Mayfield, Sniper isn't about to just let someone question his aim and get away with it. He unstraps his gun from his back, takes aim... And about 400 meters away a street lamp shatters. Sorry residents, guess you'll be walking in the dark in that particular area.*

Loike I said. Just practice.

Re: A

[ralschild]

Heavy? [Yet she watches that gun intently, ready to move if it's aimed at her. Since he aims it away however, she glances a bit to where the lamp is and considers for a moment] Dare you to hit another lamp.

[Oh and Sniper's earned a faint smile from her, almost playful. She likes these sorts of games.]

Someone I work with. Far bigger than a mattress.

*His expression is unreadable as he looks over at her.*

Pick one.

Re: A

[ralschild]

[Kyoko looks and indicates the one on the opposite side of the street from the one he shattered a moment ago]

He must be a giant if he's bigger than a mattress. An easy target, possibly.

Skull tougher than a rock too.

*He cracks his neck and takes aim again. He's a bit concerned now that he's noticed how they're standing. He doesn't like having anyone behind him, especially when all his attention is focused down the barrel of his scope. But pride is getting the better of him here. Another street lamp down. He smirks and cocks the chamber back, letting the spent shell drop on the grass.*

Re: A

[ralschild]

In what sense? As in he can take blows, or he's a moron?

[But she nods, giving him a long look]

You're rather good.

Re: A

[bye_to_yer_head]

Both actually. He can take a massive amount 'f damage before he goes down.

I 'ave t' be. It's my job.

Re: A

[ralschild]

Heh... What is with big guys and often enough being a bit slow? [She shakes her head a little] What is your job, then?
