voice; action for SSS members

[tenminutes]

SSS members: headquarters to pick up arms. Now. I have enough for each of you. If the shadows are going to start appearing again, I want all of you ready.

We're not going to Guild this time. We're standing and fighting and defending anyone who can't, that stupid NPC they're after or otherwise. If you can't fight, you're taking a weapon just in case. Don't do anything stupid and run if you have to. Those of you who can't fight, come talk to me right away.

[ Yuri sighs, her voice taking on a singsong tone, like she's trying to act like it's not a huge problem. After all, if everyone's terrified then it only makes things worse. ]

I've had it up to here with that stupid boy NPC's face, he should've stayed gone after I shot him in that dumb mug the first time!

{{ OOC NOTE: After a certain amount of time during this post, any threads that remain on the network will get cut off. Yuri's going to get turned into an NPC. Anyone is welcome to switch to action at that point. I'll specify a different location in each thread if your character wants to run into her! }}

My best moves all involve grappling... I'm probably better off with a long distance weapon.

[tenminutes]

Have you ever used a sniper rifle before? We can keep you on the high ground if you've got good aim.

[masturbatestoyou]

Where would I have used a sniper rifle in my life?

[tenminutes]

You asked for long-distance.

[masturbatestoyou]

Well, I was thinking more "something to keep me out of grappling distance", but I guess I have about as much experience with the sniper rifle as I do other options...

[tenminutes]

I don't want to give you something that you're going to waste ammo with...

[ She soudns like she's suddenly got an idea. ] Have you ever fired a bow and arrow before?!

[masturbatestoyou]

What, do I look like Robin Hood?

[tenminutes]

Well learn then, because you can retrieve arrows after using them and just sharpen them so I wouldn't have to worry about you wasting ammo.

[masturbatestoyou]

Doesn't a gun reload quicker though?

[tenminutes]

We need to find you a crossbow.

... I typoed both "crossbox" and "box" at first in this tag and had to correct myself.

[masturbatestoyou]

Well, a crossbow is better than a regular bow at least.

whoops

[tenminutes]

If we have enough extra guns I'll offer you one, but if you've never touched one before you aren't even going to be able to hit anything.

[masturbatestoyou]

Well, that's fair enough, I guess.

[tenminutes]

Also you'd probably hurt yourself from the backlash or end up hurting someone else.

[ Or having a minor freak out like the first time Yuri shot someone in the afterlife. ]

[masturbatestoyou]

Backlash? Is the recoil really that much?

[tenminutes]

I've seen someone smack themselves in the forehead with it and knock themself out cold once.

[ Who knows if that's true or not.. ]

[masturbatestoyou]

... You're kidding, right?

[tenminutes]

Of course not. You can dislocate your shoulder if you don't hold a rifle the right way and get hit with the backlash too, you know.

[ That one's actually true, at least. ]

[masturbatestoyou]

Not as easy as it seems in the movies then.

[tenminutes]

Definitely not. I wish it was though, it'd make things a lot easier.

[masturbatestoyou]

Real life is harsh, huh?

[Then again, this isn't exactly real "life".]

[tenminutes]

I wouldn't call that one of the harsh things, really.

[masturbatestoyou]

Right, I suppose there's much harsher things than recoil from firearms.

[tenminutes]

Like shadows, for example.

[masturbatestoyou]

Right, like the shadows...
