week seven afterparty

[ so how is everyone doing today? pretty badly, I'd assume, but there's so little of them left, not to mention that Bolin is going to get executed because of an accident. on top of that, there's the confusion coming from the public.

so what's going on.

today's going to be a little different - as Sakura seeks everyone out. she knows it's tough, but given the circumstances, she wants to invite everyone to meet her in front of the police station.

yeah.

we're having a jail cell afterparty, apparently. oh, and she's brought pancakes because... you all probably need that after. All of This. of course people can always ignore her request and just go somewhere else, but where are you tonight? ]
quickpersuader: (going to?)

Then I won't force you.

[Though she still thinks it could be useful for other reasons. Once the plate's up, she walks over to a spot she judges to be about the right distance, gesturing Natalie over.]

This isn't the exact model of gun he'll be giving you, but it should work for this.

[And, reaching for the gun on her right hip, she provides a revolver.]

This one has more of a recoil than the one you'll be using. So... actually, that one will be easier to work with than this, but it's better than not being prepared for recoil at all.

Are you ready?

[She listens carefully to everything Kino says, and then takes a step forward to take the gun.]

...I think so, yeah.

[To learn, at least.]
quickpersuader: (so the...)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-18 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. It's too late to use the targets unfortunately, so we'll just have to do our best with what we have.

The two places I would recommend shooting are the head or the heart. If he's willing, the head would be the fastest. If he's not, the heart is easier to hit - especially if you fire off three rounds. That should pretty much ensure a fatal wound.

For now, let's just try one at a time. Try to hit the plate.

So... The head would be more painless, because it's fastest?

[She holds the gun up before she shoots, glancing towards Kino.]

Like this?

[Not quite. Her arms are stiff as she holds it up; she's gripping it so tightly that her knuckles are going white.]

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-18 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. If you can shoot the head, there's very little chance they'll survive.

[Kino walks over to Natalie now, taking in her stance.]

You need to loosen your arms and your grip. You're too nervous.

[As she tries to relax her posture slightly:]

You got any tips for not being nervous?
quickpersuader: (checking the clouds)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-18 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
There's some, but it's not something we can do in just one night.

[Hmm... Let's see.]

Take deep breaths. Holding your breath when you shoot will also keep it steadier.

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-19 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. So... Breath, but don't breath while, um, while it happens?
quickpersuader: (the wind)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-19 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Right. You don't have to react or anything, so you have time to breathe in deeply, breathe out, breathe in again... and then hold it. Use the deep breaths to steady yourself.

[After a moment, she nods. When she aims this time, she makes sure to loosen her grip.]

Like this...?
quickpersuader: (Beautiful World)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-19 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's better.

Now focus on the sight with your dominant eye. The top of the sight should run horizontally right through the middle of the spot you're aiming for.

[She does as she's told, trying not to let herself tense up again while she does so.]

Like this?
quickpersuader: (Blown by)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-21 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

Now try firing. It'll be loud.

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-23 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[It takes her a few moments, but she does fire. Despite the warning, she wasn't expecting it to be so loud; she flinches, nearly dropping the gun. The bullet flies past the target.]

...Are they all this loud?
quickpersuader: (the wind)

[personal profile] quickpersuader 2018-11-24 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately. Some of them are even louder.
