[Since the last event Raven has spent the entire time locked away in his room sleeping it off. Now however he feels as though that wasn't he wisest thing to do. So he's currently in the Barracks borrowing one of their standard wooden bows and practising hitting the targets. He doesn't seem to be doing very well though, he's broken a few window

[Today, Nash has decided to explore the barracks in greater detail. This, unfortunately for him, means walking into the shooting range on the side of the room where all the targets are, accidentally. There are probably some arrows flying in his vague direction, eh?]

[crisis_rain]

[Yup about 4 of them, you might want to duck for cover as soon as possible because Raven isn't paying much attention.]

[superskilled]

[He does duck, rapidly, thus avoiding injury. The wall around him is not so lucky.]

Why does this situation seem so familiar? And who in their right mind aims for the door?

[crisis_rain]

Well hey there Nash!

But... I wasn't aiming at the door. I can't seem ta get used usin' a normal bow.

[superskilled]

[He's going to be getting across the room and out of the firing zone as quickly as possible.]

A normal bow?

[crisis_rain]

[It's OK, Raven's stopped firing arrows for now while he's examining the bow.]

Yup a normal bow. Your standard wooden bow with nothin' special 'bout it.

[superskilled]

[Well now he's behind Raven, so in theory, he's safe!]

Do you usually have some kind of auto-aim version?

[crisis_rain]

Haha I wish. Nah I have a variable bow, it changes into a katar at close range so the mechanism is a little different to yer average run of the mill bow.

[superskilled]

A katar? How does that work?

And, to tell the truth, I was never that good at archery.

[crisis_rain]

Me neither, I used ta fight with a sword.

It's kinda complicated, but basically the limbs of the bow are attached to riser differently so that they can rotate round and lock into a katar shape. Effectively converting the bow within an instant.

[superskilled]

Me too, hah ha. What a coincidence! And, I guess that would make it different to shoot. Did you lose your bow, or are you just trying to broaden your horizons?

[crisis_rain]

Hm? No didn't lose it, Flynn has it. Tryin' not to bring weapons back to my room at the moment, I don't wanna cause any hostility. I think I've got enough broad horizons when it comes ta combat.

[superskilled]

Really? I'm not sure you can ever have enough broad horizons, but if you do, then why are you practicing?

[crisis_rain]

Because I haven't touched a weapon since arrivin' in Luceti I guess. Didn't really think about it.

[superskilled]

How did you manage that?

[crisis_rain]

I've only been here since the middle of November.
