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...

W-What was this sudden quiz?!
"I'm, sorry, but uh, w-what's, recycling? Like, reusing my stuff?"
She lives in the woods by herself! She reuses everything she has, does that count?!
no subject
"Does... not... understand... concept of... 'recycling'.......... Negative fifteen million points OK QUESTION TWO how large is your compost pile and how many acres of organic all-natural GMO-free FDA-approved recycled vegan crops do you grow with it?"
no subject
Sophie's just...confused?!
"I-I'm sorry but, I don't understand? I have a vegetable garden, if that's what you mean, and there're fruit trees near my home..."
no subject
This would be the royal we, apparently.
"Question three! When you go purchase things from the store, do you bring your own eco-friendly, woven bag or do you desecrate the very land you live upon by using plastic bags that automatically attach to the face of the closest baby seal the moment you throw them in the trash?"
