13th: The Choices of Haruhi Suzumiya

[Voice]

[This post comes up about an hour after the draft announcement and her reaction to it. It's cool, simple, to the point. Whoever wants to run into her will run into her during the course of the next day or two (and feel free to action that!) when she goes about "business as usual." Fur now, she's been training in magic and hand to hand,

What kind of gun?

[godbent]

[...Right, there are different kinds. Inhale, exhale]

Standard sidearm, whatever that is. A pistol. Something for a non-combatant's defense.

I'll start you off with a basic Walther P99. Not a lot of recoil and good for self-defense purposes. If you want something more powerful I could also give you a Desert Eagle, but the recoil is a lot sharper if you don't learn how to properly hold it.

Where do you want to meet? I have both in my possession you can use to train with.

The Dome - I can get illusion-ammo there I bet so I don't have to blow your stores. The smaller one- [The one less likely to kill someone...] is better.

...do you have a gun?

[Voice - Filtered 15%]

[godbent]

I can requisition one, or borrow one from someone else.

[consultmybooks]

What sort are you looking to use, then?

Can you help me or not? [He's from a world of magic and warriors and... well, it doesn't bode well in her mind for him being useful]

[voice]

[notakor]

...Boss...

[He doesn't like this- he doesn't like it at all. Not only the gun but, but Shuri is going, and Haruhi, and Winry, all at once-

...It's damn scary.]

[godbent]

[She winces at the familiar voice, and then exhales sharply]

Save your objections from after the operation's complete.

[She tries to say one of her token lines, it just comes out forced]

[voice]

[notakor]

[He's hesitant, so hesitant. But he can understand her reasons; if he was in her position, he'd want to be able to defend himself - and his loved one - if the need arose.

Everyone has the right to know how to defend themselves. It's unfair to expect her not to learn.]

...I've... had training. I can teach you, if you need help.

[voice]

[godbent]

I thought you guys used magic lasers in your world?

[That comes out too sharp. She frowns at her own reaction]

[kenpo_kitty]

A gun...

What for? Weren't you like.. learning martial arts...? [[Bwuh? Guns... for real Haruhi?]]

[godbent]

I was, I am. I'm not good enough yet.

[kenpo_kitty]

S-so you want a gun just in case, right?

That still seems like a bit much...

[[You know, Japan, guns... srs...]]

[godbent]

This whole war is a "bit much," Uriko.

[crytearsofjoy]

A... gun? [Her voice cracks, but she's not here to disapprove.]

[godbent]

[ . . . ]

Don't start.

[She can't handle the objections right now. She doesn't want this either, doesn't like this but what else can she do?]

[crytearsofjoy]

I - no, it wasn't - [How does she word this?]

[godbent]

[She just stays silent. I thought it was for tomorrow, Winry? She waits to see what the blonde has to say]
