[Vash can be found today fairly deep in the woods. He went out that far in order to not be disturbed, but like that really matters in a place like Luceti. He’s rigged up a target on a rope that he’s run through several of the branches so that he can stand at the far end and yank on the rope and have the target swing down

[Hisoka's been using the woods for similar reasons, especially since the latest New Feather cycle has left the village particularly noisy. He's within earshot when the target practice commences and, naturally assuming someone else is getting killed given the slant Luceti's taken lately, rushes toward the sound, a hand hovering over the concealed gun at his side. It's almost disappointing when he's close enough to tell that it's just a marksman nitpicking his work.]

He would've been dead enough. What's the difference?

[aphephobic]

I'm not saying people have the right to do it. But it happens every time. If you aren't willing to see that much, then you're deluding yourself.

[goldenglasses]

No... I realize it happens, but for as long as I can I'll try to stop it. Until people can live their lives without fear of war and violence. [Smiles and shuts his eyes] After all... when we were born none of us were made to hurt others.

[There's a long pause while he digests Vash's speech. This guy was either brilliant or completely stupid. It's a thin line.] You... really believe that, don't you?

[goldenglasses]

[We'll he didn't think that last line up, but he sure as hell believes it.] I do.

[aphephobic]

Then be careful where you point that thing. People have been dying lately.

[goldenglasses]

[Frowns] I've... heard that. I'll be careful.

[aphephobic]

Make sure you do. There's a demon who hangs out in this forest particularly. You might want to take your target practice to the barracks.

[goldenglasses]

A-ah... thanks. I'll keep that in mind

[aphephobic]

[He's going to raise an eyebrow at that face, but sets it aside.] I don't see why you didn't just use the barracks in the first place. Isn't that what they're there for?

[goldenglasses]

I didn't know there was a target range there. [And part he wanted to be alone and make a moving target.]

[aphephobic]

And now you know. There's less of a chance you'll accidentally kill something if you're in a more controlled environment.

[goldenglasses]

Well... I'm actually pretty careful. I won't kill anything.

[aphephobic]

You say that now, but aren't you the one who said missing as far as you just did could cost someone a life?

[goldenglasses]

It could. That's why I practice. I won't shoot if it could kill.

[aphephobic]

[He shakes his head.] It sounds like wasted effort.
