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!]

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.

"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.

"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

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

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

"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."

"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."

"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?"

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

Ino considered it. "I can, in this case, but if every light really was a bad guy and shooting back at me then I'd need back up."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

"Remember that if you've done it right you'll have surprise on your side. It will take a second or two for them to react." Triela rolled her shoulders back, "For this one I'm just going to watch your technique. There are plenty of apartments though, we can practice as much as we want."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

"What technique?" Ino asked dubiously. "I can shoot in a straight line on the range, and I'm apparently good at paintball. That's all the practice I've got."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Like any fast fight, a firefight is about speed. You need to shoot each target twice and move on. And never stop moving yourself. You don't want to be a target. That means you need to move and shoot in a way that keeps your path clear."

Triela tilted her head, "Does that make sense?"

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

She mulled it over. And nodded. "Is there a time-limit? Since I can't 'die' in this attempt."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Just do it as fast as you can," Triela decided. "I'll watch you and see what needs improvement."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

"Alright then," Ino said, making sure she was focused on the 'mission' at hand, and then went, following Triela’s instructions the best she could. The movement she could do. The movement and the shooting all at the same time though needed a lot more work. Ino was used to throwing her weapons and compensating for that, it was different though with shooting a gun.

When she was ‘done’, Ino tugged at her hair. “Pretty sure I would’ve died,” she said, sounding disgusted, “if only for how long it took me to hit them.”

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

"It's always hard to say for sure," Triela countered. "People are always surprised when someone kicks down their door and starts shooting at them.

"Still, you're right, you're too slow. But that's probably because you don't have enough practice. Your main problem is shooting on the run. You've got pretty good aim but you take too long to recover between shots. Come on," she jerked her head to the next apartment over, "Maybe seeing someone who does this for a living can do will help you a bit."

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[intraspective]

"Coming," she said, going over what she'd done in her head, "and yeah, looks like we totally found something I need to practice."
