Firing Range, Wednesday after lunch

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip is leaning against a weapons locker in the firing range, looking bored and wishing he had two hands so that he could light a cigarette.

Angel and his unnamed friend should be by soon.


[[OOC: Pip's here for Angel and whoever Angel's friend is, but anyone can use the range for their shooting things needs.]]

"Hey, Pip," Angel said as he came in. "Sorry I had to cancel last week."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip shrugged, and immediately winced for doing so. "'Salright," he said, standing up. "Shit happens. Is your friend coming?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Said he would," Angel said. "Logan Echolls. Don't suppose you know him?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Logan.... I might have met him briefly at the party at the beginning of the year. Don't know him too well, though." He turned to his weapons locker. "Now, do you have any guns stored here, or will we be using my hardware?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Need to borrow," Angel said. "I don't own any guns. I'm used to doing it the old fashioned way."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Gotcha," Pip said as he opened up the locker. Angel's eyes were greeted with Pip's ample gun supply, which included no less than two assault rifles, three submachine guns, a sniper rifle, and a wide variety of pistols and revolvers. Pip picked up a nine millimeter automatic and held it out to Angel. "We'll start with handguns. Easy to learn, easy to use, easy to conceal. Plus, I don't need both hands to help you learn it."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel handled the gun with no sign of nerves. "I've used one of these before. Wouldn't mind the practice though, so yeah, lemme do a few rounds with this."

Pip grabbed a clip and tossed it to angel. "Alright, vampire-boy. Let's see what you've got."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel caught the clip. He got ear and eye protection more because he didn't want to get yelled at by administration than because he actually needed them.

That done, he loaded the gun, aimed, and fired until the clip was empty.

He frowned when he saw his target. "I always pull to the left. I hate that."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip frowned. "Hmmm, do another one," he said, grabbing a clip and tossing it to Angel.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel caught it, loaded, and tried again. This time his shots were tighter but still pulled to the left.

"You'd think I'd be able to hit the heart without a problem," Angel said.

Logan entered the range carrying a non-descript cardboard box. He took a new crossbow and arrows out and walked over to Angel. "Hey," he said.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Speak of the devil," Pip said. He reached out this his left hand. "Mind if I take a look?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Angel said. "This is Pip. Pip, Logan. We were just talking about you."

[fh_jackass]

"Actually, yeah," Logan said to Pip, keeping the crossbow to himself. He turned to Angel. "Anything I should know other than point and shoot?" he asked.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel smirked. "Not at me?"

[fh_jackass]

"See, you had to say that, so now I can't claim I didn't know," Logan sighed. He put on eye and ear protection. and faced the target. He fumbled a little loading the arrow, then fired. The arrow went high and to the left of the target. "Okay," Logan said. "Little different feel from a gun."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Tiny bit," Angel said. With exagerrated helpfulness he said, "This has arrows, for instance."

[fh_jackass]

"Hey, will you look at that?" Logan took an exaggerated glance at the arrow he was loading into the crossbow. "And it's wood, too. Handy." He grinned at Angel.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip raised an eyebrow at the wood comment, but remained silent. If Logan wanted his help, he'd ask for it.

[fh_jackass]

Logan didn't take much notice of the other kid Angel was teaching.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip would point out that he's the teacher here if he could somehow read Logan's intent. Which he can't. So he didn't.

"On the upside I'm much less worried about you hitting me on purpose," Angel grinned. back.

[fh_jackass]

"Comedy," Logan said. "Yeah, that's what I need here." Logan fiddled with the sight on the crossbow and a red dot appeared on the target. He aimed carefully and pulled the trigger. The bow jumped a little in his hands and the arrow hit just outside the target.

"You're a good shot with a gun," Angel said, somehow managing to have absolutely nothing show in his face and voice about how he knew that about Logan. "Stop relying on that light for a sec."
