Who: All the cute little heroes
When: Day 35, evening
Where: Back To Your Regularly Scheduled Great Outdoors, Just outside the train

[ The beach fades away all at once, taking the cheery sunshine with it as evening hits all at once-- it melts away in a shower of sparkles as the familiar setting re-emerges. There are new stars in the sky above in clover pink, senna red, jasmine blue, and licorice violet.

Just before the beach disappears entirely, the bubbly voice speaks once more: ]

Wasn't that so much fun! You all rrrrrreally got to know each other, didn't you? Keep up the good work~!

[ If you had any alcohol in hand you still have it, otherwise everything from the trial is gone. ]

You should listen to us, we're both pretty smart.

[ He stretches a little, not quite getting up yet. ]

Gonna test your range, huh? Sure, I'm up for it.

I guess I could see that. [He's just teasing.]

I am curious. [He pushes himself to sit up now.] And it sounds like a cool gun.

[ Crow laughs and shakes his head at the first part, then he rolls up and moves to stand. ]

Alright, let's do this then.

Awesome.

[And up on his feet and hell yes, time to shoot things. Ready to follow.]

So any warnings I should know, beyond basic gun safety?

That's really the most important part. As long as you keep that in mind, you should be fine.

Got it.

And is there like any reloading or are the shots just...there?

It's orbal energy, so there's no reload required. Just be sure you know where your target is, that's the most important part.

Can do.

But probably test it out by the trees? [Away from people.]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The less people around, the better.

Yeah, that's fair.

[Who knows if throwing things apply to guns.]

Alright, let's head over then.

[ He motions briefly towards Wash before heading towards the forest. ]

[Tooooo the forest.]

[Scanning the area, just to be sure there's nothing actually dangerous around.]

[Then picking up a rock.]

Can just make some markers on trees, I think. What's the effective range of an orbal gun anyway?

[ I have no idea but Crow would so he just rattles off the range of an orbal gun. It's a pretty respectable range. ]

So if your range goes past that, you'll need to find some other way to test it but... we'll see.

[ He pulls a pair of twin guns from ?thin air? and hands one over to him. ]

[Yeah, he's seen that a few times.]

[It's another one of those he thinks it should be weird, but also 'yeah okay'. His life is weird.]

[He'll take the gun, nodding thoughtfully.]

That range, huh...

[He's making some marks on the trees, and then moving back. Humming in thought and just goes to the full range back.]

[Better to go all out and then move in, right?]

[He takes one shot, towards the forest floor, to test the recoil and feel of the gun.]

So it's like that....then....

[He lifts up the gun and he fires in rapid succession and]

[Well, mid-range firearms are actually his specialty and those aren't moving targets. He hit them all.]

....well shit. I am good with guns.

[ Crow lets out a low whistle. ]

Damn, you aren't kidding! That's impressive! Man, and I thought I was good!

[ Well. He is good. But he's willing to admit when someone else is better. ]

[He really is. He's shot down multiple helicopters with just a battle rifle.]

[He grins a bit, looking excited because hell yeah, now he knows.]

....how good is your throwing arm?

Pretty damned good. Got something in mind?

Stationary targets are easy.

Curious to see how I do with moving things.

[ Crow grins. ]

Want me to throw some rocks as targets?

Exactly.

Maybe see if I can jungle one in the air.

Alright, let's give it a go.

[ He looks around for a moment until he finds a decent rock-- something small enough to fit in the palm of his hand, maybe about the size of his thumb. ]

You ready?

Ready.

[Holding the gun, ready to fire. Proper form and all.]

[ There's no further warning before he tosses the rock forward, putting a pretty respectable amount of force behind the throw. ]

[That is quite the force and he's moving up the gun, tracking the motions and this time does take a few moments for him to get his target.]

[Then firing, grazing the bottom and sending the rock up into the air. He moves to fire again right away because it's still too low, and misses one shot before getting the other and keeps going. He misses a few shots with the juggle at the beginning, especially with it low, but the farther he gets it up in the air, the more he hits. Can take enough time to aim properly.]

[Managing to keep it up until the rock really is just too small to take the blasts anymore.]

Damn!

[ Crow claps at that, grinning at Wash. ]

Good job! That's pretty impressive.
