Room 504, the Causeway, then back in Alexandria -- Monday All Day

[intraspective]

Ino was up bight and early and neatly dressed with her hair pulled back. And pacing, and making sure she had the things she knew she'd need.

Like her Dad's credit card.

And a bit of her money from working at Wellspring, but mostly her Dad's card. Dad, Ino knew, would totally understand if it was for weapons.

Now she just had to wait for Triela to show up and they could go.

[For the shopping buddy! Up early for crazy sp, and everything past the Causeway is NFB due to distance!]

"Didn't I warn you about the building falling apart," Triela looked up with a sheepish grin. "This is exactly what I was talking about!"

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

"Yeah," she said, still laughing, "and that's what you get for jump all over the place!"

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

"I," Triela affected a haughty tone, "Was merely trying to illustrate how dangerous this place is."

Of course she promptly spoiled it with a giggle.

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

"Nice try," she said, giggling, "but totally not buying it here."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

"Well, at least I can make a lesson of it." She let her voice shift to a slightly deeper tone, as if imitating someone, "Don't mess around, even in training."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

Ino blinked, then laughed again. "Your trainer? I guess all teachers are the same, yeah? I've heard that before."

"Hilshire can be a real stick in the mud sometimes," Triela agrees with an expression torn between exasperated and fond.

With a quick yank she pulled her boot from the hole and frowned. "I liked these boots too."

"It's in the teacher Handbook, or something. You should hear Asuma-sensei sometimes."

Of course, that was mostly because she'd be trying to kill Shikamaru and Chouji into submission again.

"I'm sure Fandom will make it so we can find you another pair?"

"Oh, good point!" Triela suddenly brightened and nodded. "Besides, it's just boots."

"Let's go up one more floor."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

Ino eyed the mood change, but whatever, okay.

"What's so special 'bout one more floor up?" Ino asked teasingly, already darting up the stairs.

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Nothing." Triela followed at a more sedate, and careful, pace this time. "I just thought it would be a good place to cut loose."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

Pffft. Careful.

"Then why not the top floor?" Ino asked with a grin, pausing at the landing.

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Hey, you want the top floor, we'll do the top floor." Triela grinned and walked past Ino before teasing, "You coming?"

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

"Got you beat," she laughed, darting in front of Triela. "Totally."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"So you say," Triela laughed as she stepped up her own pace to keep even with Ino... for now.

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

"Totally," Ino insisted lightly, "even if you've totally got me beat in strength."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Well, if you win, just remember that it's because I let you."

Suuuure it was.

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

"Uh huh," Ino laughed, "you just keep thinking that. Whatever."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Hey, who's the teacher here?" Triela objected with a laugh as they approached the top of the stairs.

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

"I don't need a teacher to race up the stairs!" Ino laughed. "Just to shoot things."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"What about sneaky tricks?" Triela asked as she snapped out an awkward kick to try to trip Ino up and dash up the stairs. It probably would have worked better if she were any good at fighting hand to hand. The only thing she had going for herself was speed.

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

Ino laughed, easily avoiding the kick and darting up the last few stairs before Triela could. "You totally need more training, gun-girl."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Hey, it's not my fault I can take most people out with one punch," Triela shrugged as she jogged up behind Ino. "Besides, I'm still a better shot than you."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

"Yeah, yeah," she said, grinning, "that's why I'm here, yeah?"

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Quite so." Triela looked around, then nodded at an apartment with it's door partially open. "Same deal as before, but this time every light source is a bad guy. Lamps, ceiling lights, whatever. You need to take them down as quickly as possible before they have a chance to respond."

She cocked her head, "Think you can handle that?"
