[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?]

I didn't mean to bring up any memories like that, Nobunaga. But you treat your guns with the affection I never thought...

[ she hasn't met any of the sword boys yet ]

I never though that you could display to someone other than yourself. Forgive me.

[ So she gives a bow, as Kiritsugu taught her - at a precise 45 degree angle. ]

...

[It frustrates her, for some reason. Maybe it's the thought that she showed a side of herself she doesn't usually, but...either way, she feels there's nothing to apologise for, and rather than simply state it ends up waving her hand by the wrist as if to dismiss the notion entirely.]

Ohhh...don't go apologising all of a sudden! What're you apologising for? Did you go back in time and kill her yourself? Did you bring this up just to pick on me? Of course you didn't! So stand up straight! I won't have you feeling guilty over some harmless questions.

[ She stands up straight at Nobu's speech, bolt upright from the proper bow she was once in. ]

Yes! I mean --

[ Irisviel picks up her own gun and holds it in her hands, a little clumsily. ]

Shall we get going? I know you are eager to use these now and see what they can do.
