Report Two: Exploring

[derringerous]

[For the past few weeks Meryl has mostly kept to herself, still trying to understand everything that was going on and trying to get used to all the green everywhere. Today you can find her in a few places. 

 

A. In the park you can find a woman practising her shooting. She's got a few tin cans set up on some rocks and taking aim at them with the gun she got from Nina. She's a very good shot. 

B. In the flower store. She's buying some random flowers for the house. They look nice alright? Even if she doesn't seem like the sort of person who'd like flowers. 

 

C. Looking at the pool in the rec center....you ...can swim in water? Isn't that a waste?]

[Oh ho, gun shooting.]

Having fun there?

[derringerous.livejournal.com]

[Very good gun shooting. Meryl doesn't look over and continues to fire a shot, knocking over a can.]

It beats sitting around and doing nothing.

Besides. Practise.

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

There's plenty to do if you think about it but I don't blame you for practicing.

[derringerous.livejournal.com]

What sort of things have you found?

[Down goes another can.]

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

Relaxing in the warm sun is a good one.

Very nice choice there, ma'm.

[Creepering Hanging around the flower shop is a young teenage girl, with a perfect smile. In fact, you could almost mistake her for a drone.]

[derringerous.livejournal.com]

[Okay...]

Are they? I don't really know much about flowers.

[redorblueshot.livejournal.com]

Really? Oh my, that's surprising.

Begonias are good spring flowers, so they'll freshen up the home nicely.

[derringerous.livejournal.com]

We don't have many where I'm from.

Oh. Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.

[ and one of those tin cans will be shot before you even have the chance to aim! if you follow the trajectory, you'll see this one girl winking at it ]

[derringerous.livejournal.com]

[She does follow it. And looks over at the girl..]

...did you shoot that?

[partytoastess.livejournal.com]

[ I'm not sure how far apart there are but just assume that Nena is speaking at a reasonable volume (if they're a bit far apart she's yelling or something).

Regardless, Nena waves the gun a bit before nodding ]

Yep! Nena shot it! Who are you?! It's a nice little training place you have! Not at all like the dummies in the rec center!

[derringerous.livejournal.com]

That was a great shot. I'm Meryl.

B, if it's ok

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

[Ah, she remembers you from her first day in this city]

Can I help you?

[derringerous.livejournal.com]

Oh hello.

[She remembers you as ewll.]

I was just looking for some flowers to take home.

[poisonivyforyou.livejournal.com]

Do you want them for a garden or as decoration inside? Or did you already have something in mind...?

[derringerous.livejournal.com]

I wasn't sure. Can you have potted plants inside?

A

[demondogdays.livejournal.com]

[Cue ears perking up from the sound of gunfire. Now THAT'S a different kind of weapon he'd ever seen anyone training with.]

Huuuuh. Now that's different!

[derringerous.livejournal.com]

[That get's her attention and she looks over.]

Different?

[demondogdays.livejournal.com]

Yeah! That thing you're using is something really strange but kind of cool at the same time. I never seen one actually being used like that before.

[derringerous.livejournal.com]

A gun you mean? I'm just practising my shot.

[iflifehadaface.livejournal.com]

[Hey, is that a short haired girl shooting cans over there? Nevermind the cans, she's got short hair! Have an awkward 23-year old buzz by your way, practically running between Meryl and the cans.]

"H-Hey there! Nice shooting! Wow, you're really good at that! Best shot I've ever seen. Play a lot of Wild Gunman? Hogan's Alley? Time Crisis? Prolly' not, right? Amateur games!

So ya' wanna' go to prom with me?"

[derringerous.livejournal.com]

[What.....]

.....what?

[iflifehadaface.livejournal.com]

[He's grinning like a nervous fool.]

"You're what? Like.. 20 something? Not 17, right? Phew, that'd be so totally weird if you were 17. You aren't 17, right?"

[derringerous.livejournal.com]

[Meryl is just getting an incredulous look on her face.]

That's none of your business!
