[OPEN] ROOTY TOOTY

Who: Nobunaga and you!
When: 10/30-11/13 (whatever date suits you best really)
Where: Capablanca
What: NOBUNAGA REALLY LIKES GUNS: the job log.
Rating: Her enthusiasm for guns (and possibly warfare in general) will definitely come up. Aside that, I'll warn in appropriate comment headers if threads go in any other uncomfortable directions!


a)

[Nobunaga's always been a big fan of guns. During her time, rifles had only begun to make their way onto the battlefield, but she'd been completely enamored by them from the moment she held one and saw it in action. The weight of it in her hands, the feel of the weapon and the sensation she got when she fired one. Her use of rifles had even carried over into her existence as a heroic spirit, having had three thousand of them at once. A legion of portable, flying guns she could call on at will to gun down her opponents...

Naturally, being here meant being without them. For a while it really bummed her out.

But today is the day she's reunited with her one true love: the gun. She shows up for the job and is handed an assault rifle, and for a moment she's stood in awe of the fact she's even got it. She twists the gun in her hands every so often, inspecting it up close, just...running her hands over it slowly sometimes.........]

Incredible...it's not quite a gatling gun, but it's a step up from my own arsenal to be sure...

[You should only sound so fond of something when you're talking about another human being.]

b)

[When it comes to setting up some targets for practice, it's no exaggeration to say she's a natural. Her first few attempts are for practice; she has to get used to the weapon and adjust to how different such a fast, powerful weapon is, compared to her own that simply fired once. But the rate at which she adjusts is astounding really; she's likely one of the first to become accustomed to it (barring, of course, people with experience firing them already) and in no time at all she's confident in her ability. She's ready to shoot some zombies.]

Hah, what a beautiful weapon...warfare really has come a long way.

[The list of things she shouldn't sound particularly fond saying increases.

That being said, she may be a good person to ask if you're looking for pointers.]

c)

[With the actual hunt underway, Nobunaga seems to be in high spirits. She's got a dedicated ammo pouch hanging hanging at her waist and her rifle firmly held in her hands the whole time.]

Well? Excited?

[Yeah, that's to you. What's not to love, right?]

[yeah...

to someone like rin, who's never held a gun in her life (even if one of her favorite pastimes used to be shaping her hand into a gun), nobunaga's learning curve is unexpectedly swift. it's almost like how archer would be.

if rin had ever seen him with an assault rifle, that is.]

You're really into this, aren't you? [the gun-love earns only a slightly raised eyebrow, considering. people... love their weapons...

like, some overgrown idiots love swords, for example. rin's standing there carrying her own assault rifle in both arms, though awkwardly.]

I wonder if I should be worried...

[ateaist]

Of course! I've heard all about the advancements of modern warfare, but not once have I had the opportunity to wield any such armaments...hah, and here I thought being in this world would deny me that chance, considering the setting. This truly is a momentous occasion.

[Really, she has a gunsword which is way cooler, but she was the person who popularised the widespread use of rifles during the early years of their introduction to Japan. It goes without saying she'd be fascinated by straight upgrades to those weapons rather than the more fantasy styled arms they're provided with.

As for the comment about being worried, well...she just offers Rin a big smile.]

Fufufu...but could it be you're slacking, girl? [That's what she meant, right? Right.] It's fine, you know. The great Demon King herself stands before you, ready and willing to offer guidance. Really, it's no trouble. I insist!
