[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, ( Read more... )

[Neku was in his room getting something when he hears Haruhi on the roof. He'd already saw the draft list, and saw that both Haruhi and Winry were on there, so he debates if he should go check on her.

...ah, screw it. She can tell him to go away if she doesn't want to be bothered or something. And so Neku carefully climbs up to the roof from his window, walking over to her once he spots her sitting there.]

Haruhi?

[She doesn't turn. In fact, she's mildly surprised that it's Neku who comes first, not Shiki. She almost would laugh but... nothing's funny here]

Yo.

[He never knows what to say in these situations, which is why it usually is Shiki who comes to her first. Oh well, want some company at least? He's coming over and sitting a foot or so away from her.]

Hey.

[She still doesn't look at him. She just... glares off at nothing in particular. She can't even sigh. She's trembling a bit. But. Damn.]

A gun isn't a good choice for something like this.

Why not?

[She won't bother to ask why he's saying that or how he would know.]

Two days isn't really enough time for you to learn how to properly use one. Most guns have a painful recoil to them. [Well, that, but mostly Vash just doesn't like the idea of someone who has probably never seen real fighting like this using a weapon that can so easily kill.]

[Inhale, exhale]

And if I break my wrist, that's my problem, but even that's better than going in without anything but some stupid martial arts!

[Not sounding super confident himself over here, but he is trained for battle at least, even if not to kill. Or for a war.]

... I can't really see you with a gun, chief.

Well, that's not exactly what I meant, but...

[But nothing. she inhales, and then exhales]

You're untouchable, right?

[ he glances over the post... that's haruhi, right? formerly ki. whatever. the werewolf grinds his teeth.

at least with bil, people going usually had some sort of reward. something more than 'just live' to motivate them. something to... even make it feel like it's more of a choice. ]

I picked up on how to shoot a rifle back home. [ but he doesn't have any use for that. ]

No, not a rifle.

[That comes out in one breath. Rifles are long ranges, rifles are set up, rifles kill. It's not something you're defensive with, it's something you're offensive with. The police use pistols sometimes, right? They save people. She doesn't want... no.]

[ A pause on his end. He runs his fingers through his hair - it's growing shaggy, he'll need to cut it before he rushes off into danger.

The third party are no different from vampires in his mind. Sure... they break easier, but they're still out to rob people of the lives that they're given. That's how he gets on by. ]

Maybe someone should set up a class...

Maybe they should but there's less than fifty hours. Whatever anyone should do, right now that's irrelevant!

[Harsh. She's taking it out on him but she doesn't even know this guy, or at least the voice isn't ringing important bells. So who cares?]

Haruhi-san. A gun might be unwise.

[...Oh here we go]

A sword would be more unwise, unarmed would just be stupid.

Any weapon for a non-combatant is unwise, Haruhi-san. You'll only make yourself a bigger target.

voice godbent June 2 2011, 03:33:56 UTC
And being a non-combatant in a forest which is enemy territory makes you a target no matter who you are.
