01 - Hold And Squeeze
Who: Sophie Hayes and YOU
Where: Capricorn Ward - Forest Area
Summary: Rifle practice with a gun slinging deer girl!
Warnings: firearms and mentions of hunting and gutting
The forest wasn't much like hers back home. The trees weren't tall enough, and there was a sort of newness about it. She could see that quite a few of the trees were young, like the forest had gone through a considerable amount of replanting a few decades ago. Her forest had been downright ancient, so the comparison between them were... interesting to say the least.
She slowly breathed out, flexing her fingers around her rifle as one, brown ear twitched. She heard a songbird land on a branch seven feet above her, followed by a burst of chirping. Her ears swivelled back, and she took in one deep breath.
Held it. One, two, three...
Sophie squeezed the trigger, and with a loud crack she hit the homemade target in the bullseye. She heard the bird take flight in a panic, and she flicked her ears forwards and back to clear the slight ringing from the sheer noise. She was used to it at this point, but damn did it sting.
She rose up from where she had been lying on her belly, leaping out of the bush she had been hiding in and giving herself a shake. Sophie rested the rifle against her shoulder, smiling a little in satisfaction. Her skills were still sharp, but she needed to challenge herself a little. Maybe she should try hunting some of the game here. She hadn't been certain if hunting had been allowed here, and didn't want to step on toes, but surely a rabbit or a pheasant or two wouldn't go amiss...

"I'm sorry if I surprised you, but usually people who fire guns in a park aren't always the friendliest."

Sophie's ears were tilted back, and she slung her rifle over her shoulder to rest it diagonally over her back. Well this was awkward. Uh, think Sophie...
"Well, sorry I don't - um, know the etiquette for parks, so, sorry if I gave off the impression of being a, a homicidal weirdo or something," she mumbled, lifting a hand up to fiddle one of the beads on her antlers. She felt self-conscious now, especially when she caught the glimpse of surprise on the person's face before seeing her.
Nnngh, why was she born with antler's? If it was just the ears she could hide them under a hat or something...
D: Oh no now I feel bad
heh what for?
"Oh shit- shoot, I mean, shoot. Um, wait, aren't we to introduce ourselves first?? Um, sorry, I'm not very good with people. Meeting, them I mean. I'm, okay, I'm Sophie! Sophie Hayes!"
My muse is being very insensitive!
Natsuki trails off into a vein of deep thought, putting her hand to her mouth as she concentrates.
it happens~
Sophie bowed her head slightly, the beads clicking together from the movement. "Is that the, this, thing? The what people call 'network'? I'm, this place is far more technologically advanced from where I am."
The woods didn't exactly support satellite connection. She didn't even have television!

"It is. You're probably better off not being to familiar with it, if things like that are going to be displayed on it regularly."
She begins to walk back in the direction she came.
"Will you be able to find your way back from here?"

"No, it's ok. People have been talking about a criminal organization active in town, so I wanted to check it out. Why don't we go back to my bike?"
