[ sakura comes jogging over not a two minutes later, gauss sniper rifle strapped to her back. she's got no clue what's got garrus in a mood in which shooting the crap out of things would be a great thing, but she doesn't really have room to judge his coping methods. she beats the shit out of things when she gets upset. ]

Hey. Thanks for doing this.
hyakugo: (WHOOPS.)

[personal profile] hyakugo 2015-02-08 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ he's got nothing to worry about. his snappishness has got nothing on her shishou's. ]

Yeah. [ she nods with a slightly sheepish look. ] I have no idea what most of the parts do, but I know where they all go.

[ she taps her cuff and a little hologram doodle of the insides of her rifle--labeled in her shorthand with a lot of question marks--show up. ]

I made diagrams.

[ what a nerd. ]

[ it seemed like a good idea to take it apart and see if she could figure it out instead of just attempting to use it and possibly blowing herself up. and garrus' explanations are super helpful. sakura nods along with him, scribbling half-words in katakana next to the bits he explains so she can reference it later. ]

So... [ tilting her head to look up at garrus ( he is seriously unfairly tall ) she smiles. ] What's next, sensei?

[ she may or may not be teasing him a little bit. ]
hyakugo: (EH?)

[personal profile] hyakugo 2015-02-09 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ sakura mimics his stance, lifting the rifle up with the stock resting about where it should be. this feels a lot like being small again and learning how to throw shuriken. ]

Is turian musculature similar to a human's or have you just taught someone else how to use one of these before?

[ since if their shoulders work differently, she's thinking she may need to hold things a little differently to avoid injury. and, y'know. she's hella curious about the differences between species. ]
hyakugo: (SNOW.)

[personal profile] hyakugo 2015-02-09 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ with a nod, she straightens. ] Lucky you.

[ no, really. all that armor is something she's partially a little jealous of. the other part of her wonders how the hell she'd move if she had all that on her.

she looks through the scope and scans the horizon until she finds the flower garrus is talking about. and then she can't help but smile. it seems kind of fitting that a friend of ino's is teaching her while using a bright red flower. ]


I see it.
hyakugo: (TURN.)

[personal profile] hyakugo 2015-02-09 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ she shoots him a look when he talks about adjusting to the gun. ] That seems inefficient.

[ but she supposes it makes a strange sort of sense. not every blade is balanced the exact same way either, even if there's less discrepancy than it sounds like there is for guns.

as she looks back through the scope, sakura goes still. inhale, exhale. a breeze makes the flower sway. another breath, and on the exhale, sakura squeezes the trigger. she misses; the shot goes to the left a bit. but it's in the general vicinity of the flower, so she'll call this one a win. ]


That... is really pretty cool. Even if I missed.
hyakugo: (GLANCE.)

[personal profile] hyakugo 2015-02-09 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ the barrel of the rifle lowers so sakura can roll her shoulder. it doesn't hurt, but the kick back isn't exactly something she was expecting. ]

I actually don't have that many weapons. My tanto, [ she gestures at the blade holstered at the small of her back ] and three kunai someone gifted me. [ and only three of those are long-distance weapons of any kind.

she raises the gun again and, remembering how the shot veered, compensates. which is an odd thing to do when looking through a scope. she still misses. it's a nearer miss this time, though. the frown that tugs at her mouth isn't a frown of frustration, but of someone who has just discovered a new puzzle they're determined to figure out. ]


Alright, so what's it look like when someone can actually hit the target?
hyakugo: (TOGETHER.)

[personal profile] hyakugo 2015-02-09 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the starry-eyed look she had back when garrus told her what his rifle could do is the same one that she wears as she watches that flower burst apart. ]

With the kind of precision you're talking about, hitting non-vital areas could also work to your advantage, depending on the situation.

[ her knowledge of anatomy when combined with a sniper rifle has the potential to be a truly terrifying thing. and this is why most of the ninja are on red team. ]
hyakugo: (COME DOWN.)

[personal profile] hyakugo 2015-02-09 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ years and years... that's not unexpected but at the same time sakura can't help but wish it were easier to master things. but, on the other hand, then everyone would be doing it. ]

You sure you want to make an offer like that? I can get a little obsessive when I find something I want to learn.

[ which is to say she's going to put in however much time it takes for her to get really damn good at this. and will possibly be texting garrus questions about guns a hell of a lot. ]
hyakugo: (GRIN.)

[personal profile] hyakugo 2015-02-09 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. Really.

[ she grins and hefts the rifle up again, sighting the flower. ]

How long do you think it'll take for Ino to make a bouquet of some of these?
hyakugo: (AWWW.)

[personal profile] hyakugo 2015-02-10 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds about right.

[ breath in, breath out... a few petals on the right side of the flower flutter as she misses again. ]

Ah, damn. Too much compensating that time. [ she shakes her head, still smiling. ] I feel like I'm back in the Academy.
hyakugo: (GRIN.)

[personal profile] hyakugo 2015-02-10 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ if she was thinking of trying a fourth time, the short burst of laughter that escapes her derails that idea. ]

Since all my instructors wore the same uniform and flak jacket... Yeah, you're probably right.
hyakugo: (TOGETHER.)

[personal profile] hyakugo 2015-02-12 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I don't usually wear sensei's kind of get up. I like my boots too much.

[ she misses her boots. ]

And not all of the jounin sensei wear that, just most of them. Ask Kakashi about what his best friend wears sometime.
