Trial 15:

[pint_sized_carnivore]

[Not long after Blues' announcement, Chie opened her journal to make one of her own. It was one of those days where she was feeling a little social, so she went to surprise a few of her friends and drop by their rooms. She was surprised and also not, knowing how Paradisa just sweep people away at random, she should have expected it... ]

Hey, everyone. It's Chie... Sheesh, uhm, to those who knew Ib, Aradia, and Ohjiro-kun, the castle sent them all home...

[Chie sighed, obviously upset at the sudden disappearance of half of her friends in this castle.

Later, Chie can be found in the shooting range, where she now goes to vent off her frustration and practice shooting as Kate taught her]

[She couldn't really hear well with her ear protection, so she didn't notice anyone in the range until Larry spoke up]

Wha- Larry-sa-- Larry? I didn't know you were there... Aha-hah...

[He'll raise an eyebrow at her. Rather judgingly, actually. That alone tells him she's a hazard with a gun.]

You need to be more aware of your surroundings, kid. Especially in a place like this.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Yeah, I know.

[Chie sighed and looks down]

I just can't concentrate as well right now. I just thought I'd go here to practice, pass the time, and...

[solowingpixy]

I saw your announcement. Can't say I knew any of 'em. [Little does he know, he knew one quiiite well. But it's not like he ever knew her name. He points the assault rifle at a target and looks down the scope before lowering it again, glancing back over at her.]

If you want to learn a firearm for either self-defense or defending others, you'll have to learn to be able to fire straight under worse emotional conditions than this.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Right...

Well, uhm. What was wrong with my posture earlier?
