[OPEN] ROOTY TOOTY

[ateaist]

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?]

Comments

it's okay... it's 2:40am here i didn't notice cries

[assent]

[ Thankfully she's telling her that then, and not someone else (though it has come up once or twice thus far.) ]

We are a small country and there have been attempted coups in the past as well. We must be ready for anything, because of this our barracks are always fully stocked.

[ Pretty much tbh ]

[ateaist]

Hm, hm. [She's nodding along as Sonia explains.] Just as I thought. Japan was in a similar state of constant upheaval during my time, as well...it wasn't unusual for children to know how to defend themselves.

[Maybe not all of them knew how to use a weapon, but they'd still go down fighting if they could.

Or at least the kids she knew, anyway...]

Well, with all that said I guess it can't be helped. You'll have to show me your skill, Sonia.

[assent]

Than I am glad you understand. I was not aware this was not a common thing, actually.

[ She had been surprised when Hinata had been surprised, after all. ]

I will ensure to make our mission a success! [ She looks pleased with herself, anyway. ]

[ateaist]

Is that so? Well, typically it only applies to places caught up in war. Outside of that, people would rather use their words than their...weapons.

[As much as she actually enjoys combat, it's what she sought for Japan, too. Her methods are just, uh.

Crazy.

Either way, considering they've yet to embark on the mission proper, Nobunaga gestures for Sonia to follow and leads her to a makeshift target range: a bunch of cans on a distant fence.]

Alright soldier, let's see your best!

[assent]

I am also the type that would prefer to settle fueds diplomatically, however it is not always possible. That is why we must prepare for the worst.

[ It's okay, Nobunaga, she's the one who knew bombs weren't real when everyone else was panicking about it in her world. Why is this a thing... ]

You wish to see what I can do before we leave? [ Sonia blinks at the other girl, then figures it won't hurt. One crystal isn't too bad. ] We should not practise too much, however, we were not given enough of this type of ammunition.

[ She takes her stance however, eyes wide open as she lines up the gun. It might be a little surprising that she handles it well enough to get a fatal shot first time, but... there we go. ]

[ateaist]

Oho! Not bad at all.

[Pretty great, actually. She reaches into a pouch at her waist and produces one piece of ammunition, handing it over to Sonia.]

Here, a reward. ...plus you indulged my request.

[Mostly to make up for the fact she made you use ammo from their admittedly tight reserves.]

[assent]

You did not have to. [ She takes it gently, holding the piece of ammunition to her chest. ]

In which case, I shall save it until last. My most precious bullet.

[ Well, crystal but who cares right now. ]
