[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of the first half of the month. Because not everyone is into parties, ok.

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. WE ARE BIG ON THREAD-JACKING HERE. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt.]

[ cordelia is here at the firing range, somewhat skeptical about this whole thing, but not about to be a total failure ok. except where she... rolled a 5 on her attack, the noise and recoil startling her so badly that she shrieks and very nearly drops the weapon. she does, however, step backward reflexively, ripping off the earmuffs as she declares: ] Ugh! Is this even legal?

[ abigail glances over dispassionately. cordelia is hard to miss. the way hyenas are hard to miss in the lion king. enjoy that comparison, but it's the first thing that comes to mind when the other girl shrieks. she should say something. correct her. tell her to ask fred for help. ]

Shouldn't be.

[ w o w abigail. that was nice. ]

[ it's alright, with her 11 wisdom check, she picks that up as agreement with her world view instead of an insult. :) ] I can't be the only one who thinks it's a bad idea handing a pistol to everybody who walks through the door around here, am I?

They don't. And theoretically, they train you if you've never done it before.

Theoretically. That old guy just handed me this thing, and Annie Oakley I am not.

[ good word choice because it reminds abigail of fred's dumb nickname and makes a teeny smile lift her lips. ]

Annie Oakley I am. Do you want some help?

[ cordelia hesitates a moment, but it appears to be more the result of sizing abigail up and being skeptical of her as an expert marksman than about being too proud to accept the help. ] What kind of help?

Well, I can teach you how to hold it.

What's wrong with how I hold it?

[ do you really want her to answer that? ]</small Everything.

Excuse you. It can't be that bad.

[ she lifts her eyebrows like giiiiirl, but really cordelia is right, she wasn't holding it that badly. ]

Alright, so show me.

[ cordelia's nothing if not proud, and when she has something to prove, she doesn't fuck around. that's the only way i can explain the fact that she takes careful aim and somehow gets

a nat 20 bullseye. ] See? What did I tell you?

[ no. ]

Now do it again.

[ calling it beginner's luck tbh. ]

What? That wasn't perfect enough for you?

One perfect shot isn't going to cut it in the field.

It will if it leaves the thing dead.

It took ten shots for the FBI to kill my dad. And they're actually trained.

Your dad? ... Wait. He wasn't a demon, was he? Because those things really seem to ignore most bullet shaped things.

No, he was a person. [ um, duh? ]

So what was he? Like some of underworld criminal kingpin guy?

[ mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh. she regrets snapping now that she actually has to keep... explaining. ]

He was a serial killer.

Wait. Seriously?

[ her lips purse. ]

No, I made it up. Yes, I'm serious, why would I make that up?

I don't know, why would you just drop that in casual conversation?
