safest of intros

Oct 31, 2011 11:27

[Caroline is sitting on top of her trunk. She's got her new laptop, she's got her old luggage, she's squinting down the barrel of the shotgun. It may be pointing dangerously towards bystanders. The safety is off. She's fiddling with...things.

Beware.]

Hey, does anyone know how to use this thing?

Rule number one of guns! Do not point your weapon at a person. That includes your own face. Give me that.

[she's okay with handing it over, bossy person. watching curiously!] You mean unless I want to shoot somebody.

[checks the break action, then on goes the safety]

Always assume every gun is loaded.

[still watching, with low comprehension level. the safety was explained to her, but the actual working of competent hands on a weapon can fly over one's head] Well, how do I check?

[in case zombies suddenly acquire a good clip, you know how is is]

[opens the action again and angles it so she can see]

... Or you can shoot yourself in the face. But I recommend the easier way.

'Shoot yourself in the face' does sound like something best left off my 'to-do' list. [taking mental notes!]

When handling your gun, always make sure that the safety is on, the barrel is pointed at the ground, and your finger is off the trigger. Can you do that?

Not eager to shoot myself anywhere, so I think I can manage it.

Laptop and a shotgun! Apparently standard issue.

A blessing and a curse.

Follow me. I'm going to teach you how to shoot, damnit.

[bounces cheerfully up after him! pace is a little slow due to towing trunk and carting along laptop. probably a good thing you've still got the gun.]
