Action Log - Postdated to January 5th

WHO: Prompto Argentum - and everyone who wants to turn up!
WHAT: Gun cleaning, shooting at the range
WHEN: January 5th, from morning until evening
WHERE: Genessia Firing Range
WARNINGS: Maybe none, hard to say?

After speaking with Gladio, and the arrival of a reminder that he really doesn't want his skills to dull, he's decided to engage in the catharsis of a day at the range. It's lucky he doesn't need to take photographs, but those aren't the only shots he can take, he's an accomplished marksman.

Prompto, once given a prep table, would sit down and begin cleaning his guns thoroughly. He has a full arsenal at his disposal - he has a bazooka, an SMG, a sniper rifle and three different handguns, each one laid out on the table until he begins cleaning, removing clips and performing routine maintenance. The whole process will take awhile, and he has ear plugs in, but anyone who wants to get a good look at his arsenal is welcome to have a look.

When he was finished with the cleaning process, he will select his weapon of choice, although probably not the bazooka at an indoor range and move to the stationary targets and proceed to take up a position as natural as breathing. Squared shoulders, solid frame and he'll take aim, put his finger to the trigger and fire. Without distractions, Prompto won't miss on a stationary target. 

Later, he'll take on the moving targets, which depending on his gun, his success will fluctuate, although he has the best success with his handguns here. 

It's all very cathartic and methodical, each shot he takes letting him fall into a rhythm. He is, however, always pleased to talk about guns, teach something new, or let someone have a look safely. He's a lot more deadly than he looks.

Gun cleaning~

Riza was just finishing up with her ritual at the range, feeling much better after getting her stresses at home out. She always felt at peace after getting her targets in the range. She had complete control, still living up to her name and namesake of "the hawk's eye."

As she was leaving however, she spotted a rather large arsenal on a table, even before she recognized the person this arsenal apparently belonged to.

She blinked.

Well you learn something new everyday.

Riza carefully approached him, making sure he could see her, and smiled, speaking loudly over the sounds around them.

"Prompto, hi," she waved, "Nice array you've got here."

"For the most part?" she repeated, amused.

Riza gestured to see if it was okay to sit across from him, and waiting for a slight approval, she stared in almost childlike joy as some of the weapons in front of them.

"These are all yours?" She set her own gun on the table, the intricate flame design somewhat shining in the light. That small handgun was nothing compared to everything he had.

"I suppose it's perfect to protect a king with." She reached for the sniper rifle and paused. "May I?"

Cindy was still new to the area, so spent some of her time exploring to get the lay of the land. From that wandering, she found the gun range, and Prompto's practice area. Covering her ears, she waited until he was done with a clip before saying anything.

"Didn't realize you had so many." And wandered over to the table to look at the selection. She knew Prompto used guns... but dang, he had a lot.

Krista had always decided that her new years resolution was not that of a typical lose weight, or eat better or stuff like that. No, Krista's goal was to learn skills to help her improve on her acting. Skills people might find impressive but yet at the same time with her magical girl abilities she could even use for the battlefield.

It was a win situation. But the first thing she had to do was actually practice and she was pretty sure that the shooting range was the best first step. Maybe she could find somewhere there who could help as well. As she stepped in she couldn't help but notice the other.

"Hey there Prompto. I feel like I should be surprised to see you, but I'm not."

Still with the adorable stutter. She thought after a while, he'd get over that. But, maybe not. It was an impressive arsenal. But, she didn't know much about guns. Just cars, really. Weapons were paw paws area.

"It's impressive. Have a favorite?"

"You have a very different meaning of relaxing." She said gesturing to what was around them, but she wasn't necessarily judging him for it. Everyone has there thing after all and if shooting at targets was the way he got to relax, she can't complain. It was a good thing.

"I'm here to practice and learn."

"Sadly no. Thus why not planning on touching one to start with. Not until I am totally sure I can handle it. Except for the whole recoil thing, that's probably going to happen regardless." She was sure she might be considered weird.

"So watching first see how it's done... I find I pick up quickly doing something like that."

She nodded slightly, she got that, though you don't really learn that from watching people on television or when filming because well it's not exact, at least that is what she thinks anyway.

"I was once told that you'll get hurt the first time, but I guess that could be because of positioning," she said as she held up her headset putting them on before putting her thumb up. She at least understood to put them on.

While guns were certainly not Gladiolus' thing, he'd been swinging by the range now and then, hoping to catch sight of Prompto there. Hoping that his advice was taken to heart. Not that he thought the younger Crownsguard was slacking on his skills - more because he thought the routine of training them would help calm and center him.

Help him feel better in control, after his run-in with the Chancellor.

He'd grabbed a set of ear protection they'd supply for visitors and leaned against the far wall, watching him shoot. Quietly being impressed. Even if Prompto hadn't been getting regular practice in - it's clear he hadn't lost his edge.

Eventually his friend would notice him standing there.

sure! omw

[ And not long later - since he was wandering around the City anyhow - Takumi finds himself in front of the building where the firing range is. He's looking around at the other patrons, curious. ]

Gladiolus smiled back, lowering his as well. Straightened from the wall, approaching casually. "Hey, Prom."

He peered at the target in the distance, and from what he could see - the shots were tightly grouped in the center, a nice and controlled burst of fire every time. Prompto had a steady hand, it seemed, and Gladio whistled low, impressed.

"See you haven't lost your edge, not at all." He's impressed, Prompto.
