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!]

"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.”

"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."

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

"The good news is that you've got the basics down fine. Aim, coordination. I think you just need practice."

Then, without any preamble, Triela drew her pistol, kicked the door open, and stepped inside shooting. There was a rhythm to her movements: two shots, two steps, two shots, two steps. If two targets were close enough together she'd take shots at both of them before moving, but other than that it was a fairly simple pattern.

"Clear!" she called out of habit as she let herself relax after the last shot.

Ino? Was impressed.

"And I can see you've got practice in spades," she said, "lucky me to learn from you. It's almost like a dance, isn't it?"

"You know, I hadn't thought of it like that, but in a way it is." Triela tapped her chin thoughtfully. "And I guess that it's the sort of dance you want to lead in. As long as everyone is reacting to you, they're not coming up with nasty things to do to you."

"It's just a matter of practice, I think. You want to try another one?" There were, after all, plenty of abandoned apartments.

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

"I..." she considered it, there were, yes, more apartments and she did need the practice. "Yes, of course. Let's try the dance again."

"With my stunning example to follow you'll be an expert in no time," Triela declared with a grin.

They worked their way through another four apartments before Triela blinked and held up her hand suddenly. "Do you hear that?"

She was referring to the approaching sound of sirens.

"What do you think the odds are that that's not for us?" she wondered. "Maybe there's been a fire or something?"

Re: Mainland - Shooting Practice

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Um... considering that we've been shooting up the place for a while... that's probably for us." Triela looked sheepish, "I probably should have thought about this possibility. I guess I'm too used to working in situations where we control law enforcement."

"We'd probably better get out of here."

"And no one would think twice 'bout weapons practice in my world," she conceded, "up or down? Think we can out-run them?"
