[It might not show on the outside, but Tifa's snapped, she really has. Information overload combined with watching what happened to Cloud AFTER the fact and being unable to do anything about it...well it's not done good things for her already exhausted mind. So one thing's led to another and here she is, sitting in a coffee-shop somewhere,

[There's a few muffled sounds once the feed switches on.] Blasted thing... work, ya damn-!

[And then a Texas drawl, as clear as day:] What kinda gun you lookin' for, ma'am?

[Tifa flicks her side of the conversation over to private, not wanting any kind of prying eyes.]

Something half-way concealable, accurate at short range and will leave anything it puts down out of the picture.

[cactusnwhiskey]

Sounds like a semi-automatic pistol's right up yer alley, ma'am. 'Less you were lookin' for something with a little more fire power.

How much do I need? It's something I'd be using very short-range, not much farther than a few feet. Will a pistol kill at that range? [Gun newb. She is one.]

... Tifa? What's wrong? I can show you how to use a gun, if you need it, but I haven't found ammunition stores yet. I need to, I don't have much for my own gun.

[meteor_heart]

Nothing, I'm fine. [Yeah and if you believe that, she's got some swamp land in Florida to sell you too.]

I want to learn how, it seems a useful skill. I might be able to help you find some ammo for yours while I'm searching maybe?

[felis_fidelus]

Tifa. I know better than that.

It is useful, when a person is not skilled in defending themselves in other methods. If you want to, I won't turn down such an offer- and if you'd like practice, I'll look for a shooting range somewhere where we could practice.

[She frowns and looks away from the camera, chewing on the stir-stick now, crunching plastic between her teeth.]

Did you see? Cloud and Yazoo?

[limitedrun]

Tifa? Did something happen at the bar?

[Video]

[meteor_heart]

No, nothing like that. Don't worry Griffin, it's fine. [Because people ask to learn guns when things are totally okay.]

[limitedrun]

[Yeah, he doesn't buy it. And because you actually know what he looks like, Tifa, you are treated to video with his face expressing just how much he doesn't buy it.]

Who?

[Her eyes widen a little at the video feed. She can't remember him ever showing up on video before, and it's a little flattering he does it now. She chews the inside of her lip a moment in frustration.]

A friend. From home, he got...jumped by someone I've given too much leeway to here. I'm not doing that anymore.

[otaku_mk_ii]

...Tifa, what happened?

[video]

[meteor_heart]

Hal I...[she ducks her head sheepishly, unable to lie straight out to his face.] Nothing, I just want to learn.

[video]

[otaku_mk_ii]

Firearms don't really suit you. Why do you want to learn so suddenly?

[video]

[meteor_heart]

It's...[Why do you have to be so friendly and adorable Hal? If you weren't she could just make something up, but now she can't.]...complicated.

[payback]

You know how to use guns?

[Video]

[meteor_heart]

No...but how hard can it be? Point and shoot. At short range it shouldn't matter right? [She'd like to think that anyway.]

text for now;

[payback]

What about taking care of them though?

[Video]

[meteor_heart]

oh I...hadn't thought that far. [She smiles sheepishly. Damn your logic!]
