just one way of dealing with stress. [ open ]
Characters: Lightning Farron
Setting/Location: level III, the training room in the caravan
Date & Time: Day 0, early evening.
Warnings: action. likely hostility on Lightning's part but uh...hopefully no violence to any other characters, just target dummies!
Summary: Lightning's getting a bit frustrated with the situation. And what's the fastest way to let loose and take a shot at unwinding before she snaps and shoots someone? Pre-emptively shooting target dummies and slicing them to shreds, of course.
Lightning frowned, the deep line of her lips pressing heavily into her face as she took aim at the designated targets she had set up. Preferably, she would have liked them better moving and attempting to evade but sometimes it felt more satisfying to collectively gather all her focused energy and shoot it out into one clean barrel, decimating the target without difficulty or extra movement. Her grip was steady, her finger coiled around the trigger and she stood incredibly still as she inhaled, her shoulders rising slightly before she shot three quick, successive shots, all in tandem with her breath as she exhaled through her nose.
They hit the target mostly how she had planned them, only with the last bullet straying a bit too much to the left for her liking.
She remained standing in the same position though, momentarily lost in her thoughts as her mindset drifted back into what was inevitably happening back in her home world. What of Cocoon? Eden? Sanctum? Serah? What could she possibly do from here? If she had felt helpless or even a slight glimmer of doubt before arriving here, she felt completely lost now that she was in an entirely different place.
So distracted was she with her thoughts, that there was no way for her to notice if anyone walked into the training room looking for their own form of stress-relief.
