The Shooting Range; About an Hour After Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday [07/11].

Immediately after winning that awful fish, Rosa set to work, going back to her apartment, getting all her weapons, finding a wheelbarrow somewhere and going to the Trooper Station and grabbing a bunch of weapons from the Weapons Locker there, too (and just daring any of the troopers to fight her about it), and then heading over to the shooting range.

Hey, she'd been wanting to check this place out anyway.

It didn't take long for her to set the fish up as her target at the end of the range, and then she started loading the weapons out of the wheelbarrow thoughtfully. Rifles, pistols, shotguns. There was a musket in there somewhere, a revolver, a sub-machine gun. Plasma gun, laser gun, official Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle. Throwing knives, throwing stars, throwing axes. She'd managed to scrounge up her crossbow and a good old fashioned bow and arrow...

...was that a grenade? That was definitely a grenade, but don't worry, she'd go to the preserve for that one.

It was amazing what sort of weapons you could scrounge up on this island in an hour, especially when most of them came from your own closet.

Let's be honest; this fish had this coming for a looooong time now. And after the weekend Rosa was having, she was going to feel much, much better when she was done. All she'd need after this was a few beers and a hot body to bone, and it would be up there with one of the best days of her life.

[[I knew the universe was telling me to sign her up this week for a good reason!! open but prolly slow!]]

All the dye might have ruined a pair of gloves for her, but Seivarden had gone home to drink a few cups of tea, so things weren't as bad as they could have been. After all that caffeine she needed something to do, and the color run had reminded her that she should really keep up with exercising regularly, so she left for the gym. What better than to start at the shooting range and then doing some weight lifting after that?

Seivarden opened the door to the shooting range, then stopped. There was Rosa, Rosa's weapons - how many had she brought? - and then the fish.

Considering that she was now in the same room with someone who had an impressive collection of weapons, and who yesterday tried to punch her, you might have thought that Seivarden would decide to leave. She did consider it, but hesitated, undecided. There was something incredibly hot about someone who had gathered that amount of fire power just to get rid of that fish thing. Seivarden wasn't obsessed with weapons, and she definitely didn't care about uncivilized people who hated tea, but that didn't mean she stopped watching.

While reaching for hearing protection. Some of those guns looked like they would be loud, especially considered the technology here.

Seivarden made a gesture with her hand. "It's not your private shooting range," she pointed out, walking towards the weapons locker. "Quite a collection you have there. I assume you're not sharing them?"

As Rosa had tried to hit her yesterday, perhaps Seivarden was pushing her luck, but all things considered 'ugh, it's you' had to be considered a good greeting.

Seivarden just snorted at that, and picked a gun - she did miss the Radchaai quality ones - and chose a lane a few steps away from Rosa. She loaded the gun and fired. Despite the old fashioned guns, she didn't do too badly, and she was a lot closer to the level she had been required to keep when in the military than she had been when she first arrived,

She reloaded, throwing a glance at the fish thing and frowned. What was that thing made of?

Of course Seivarden ignored Rosa too. It was hard not to notice that she was good though, better than quite a few of her lieutenants had been, which was saying a lot about an uncivilised tea hater.

She also had better guns.

Seivarden might not be in the shape she had once been, but she had thirty years experience, and did quite well even at the really difficult targets. Which might not be as rewarding as a creepy fish, but still.
