9th Trick Shot ~ [Action/Dictated]

[compromisedarrow]

[Natasha and Steve]

[Because he wants reliable information, and without any snark, Clint is filtering to these two. He knows Captain America wouldn't hide anything important, and Romanoff says she's from SHIELD, so...]

I got locked in my room for a couple of weeks. What'd I miss?

---

[Archery filter]

Hey. I'm back, and I'll be starting up lessons again. Let me know when you're free, and I'll see what I can do.

Anyone else who wants lessons in archery, let me know. Name's Clint Barton.

---

[Dairine]

I'm back. You miss me?

[Anyone out in the grounds today will see someone with a bow at the shooting range, taking shots at the target. Just normal, right? As normal as the fact as he seems to be getting constant bulls-eyes? Maybe. Either way, he's free to be interrupted as he concentrates on his shooting.]

Comments

[whistles_the_blues]

[Blues is there and watching Clint a little bit out of the way. He's pretty impressed with the fact that Clint has such consistent aim, he didn't think a human was capable of something like that.]

[compromisedarrow]

And the best thing? He doesn't seem to be concentrating that hard. Notch, draw, an instant to aim, release. He's obviously a professional.

After a few more minutes, he puts his bow down and hops over the barrier to retrieve his arrows.]

[whistles_the_blues]

[Blues give an impressed whistle when Clint goes to retrieve his arrows.]

That's quite a shot you have there.

[compromisedarrow]

[A look back and a grin at the compliment.]

Yeah. I take my hobby as seriously as my job sometimes. Gotta have something to get outta the office for.

Well there was that fun bit with Alice in Wonderland come to life.

Forever~

[compromisedarrow]

I think you and I have different ideas on 'fun'.

and ever

[well_assembled]

[Wow, way to cause flashbacks there Clint. She paused and dealt with that little momentary pang.]

Probably. But you didn't miss much that was important.

[chiefcookandlibrarian]

[Cimorene had been on her way out to find a quiet place to practice with her sword when she had been drawn by curiosity to the range. She knew very little of archery. It had been yet another of those skills that proper princesses did not learn, and the princes and knights she had met had had very little interest in it. All the same, she thought that this display was really very impressive. She stands and watches.]

[compromisedarrow]

[Barton likes to practice when he needs to think, so he doesn't notice Cimorene standing there. He does seem pretty expert at it, notch, draw back, an instant to aim, shoot. He doesn't take a long time to aim, and it's always true.

After a few more shots, he goes to retrieve his arrows.]

[chiefcookandlibrarian]

[He'll see a pretty teenage girl standing there. With a sword belted on her waist and a crown pinned in her hair.]

That was really very impressive.

[luxe_can_kill]

[Mitsuru continued on her exploration, but her efforts seems to bear no fruit. She decided to get some fresh air on the grounds. In there she saw Clint firing arrows. Seeing the lack of effort in his shots, yet it still manages to hit a bullseye. It was a captivating sight, she didn't realize she was walking towards the range just to get a closer look of Clint firing arrows]

That is quite impressive. [She said to him as she watches from the sidelines, arms crossed elegantly. She had a smile of admiration on her face]

[compromisedarrow]

[A glance back.]

Thanks. I like to keep on form.

[luxe_can_kill]

I've heard of similar words spoken by a friend back home. [She remembers Akihiko and his constant training, and Yukari who was in the archery club]

Do you happen to teach archery? I wouldn't mind learning it as a recreational activity.

Barton

[wizard_redfive]

About time you checked in. Where the heck were you?

[Of course she had known that he was around somewhere. And not because she checked all her friends’ nametags after Alan left.

Nope. Definitely not that. What are you talking about?]

Dairine

[compromisedarrow]

Locked in my room. Journal wouldn't work, either.

[He knows you were freaking out. He can tell.]

Barton

[wizard_redfive]

[LIES. She has been perfectly chill.]

Bummer. Did you at least get my present?

[Said present should have arrived around Christmas.]

[fanstheflame]

[Gale wanders in for his usual turn at the range, needing some space away now that people are back in the house and it's - well, he already had his own fallout with Crowley and his mad labeling escapade. he doesn't need to watch everyone else come home and flip out about it.]

... No wonder Katniss wants to beat you. You're unreal.

[he says it with a wondering sort of grin, though]

[compromisedarrow]

She wants to beat me that bad, huh?

[A grin.]

I'm sure I could teach her a few lessons. It's always good when the student passes the master.

[fanstheflame]

[he laughs, softly] You could try, but it'll probably mean a lot more to Catnip if she does it on her own steam.

[valuedstrength]

A lot of people leaving. There was some trouble in Wonderland too, but that's getting to be old news.

Forever~

[compromisedarrow]

Anyone important gone?

[valuedstrength]

That depends on your definition of important. Is there anyone you would miss?

[solowingpixy]

[There are a few nearby gunshots, since not too far down from Clint was none other than Larry, having decided to get some target practice of his own in with his USP. He's carefully aimed at the target and fires a few shots, and looks mildly annoyed every time he -just- misses the bullseye. He's still more out of practice than he'd like to be.]

[compromisedarrow]

[He side-glances at his neighbor, firing another arrow, before poking his head around.]

Try not to let the recoil hit too much.

[He's not that good with guns, but he can at least give pointers.]

[solowingpixy]

[He'll shoot a bit of a smirk in Clint's direction.]

You act like I don't know how to fire a gun.
