Having found herself growing a bit restless over the past few days, Hanna finally decided that she was going to find something to do in the city. Sure, it was a bit chilly outside, considering it was winter, but given where she'd grown up, a slight bite in the air was nothing and certainly wasn't going to keep her cooped up inside. No, she simply donned a hoodie, stuck her PDA in her pocket and her handgun in the waistband of her jeans, and headed out to explore the city.
After spending a bit of time checking out some of the more badly damaged areas, Hanna finally managed to head out of the downtown area and toward the outskirts of Colligo. There weren't as many people, once you went far enough, and typically - in her very limited experience, at least - that was where the most interesting things could be found. Which, in this instance, turned out to be something that Hanna was quite pleased to find.
A shooting range.
True, she could have simply used the Danger Room in the mansion if she wanted to do any sort of training, but there was something about being out in the open, not being tricked by technology to believe she was, that Hanna preferred. So with no real hesitation, she made her way toward the range. Although not eighteen, and therefore not technically old enough to be there on her own (as per the rules posted by the front gate), luck happened to be on her side. Either he simply didn't care about the rules, or figured she was old enough and wasn't going to bother checking, but for whatever reason the man working the counter didn't even give her a second glance. He simply took the amount owed for an hour at the range, made sure she was set up with a couple different types of firearms and ammo, and pointed out the different areas of the range on a map so she would know where to go depending on what sort of practice she was looking for.
All-in-all, the entire process took less than five minutes and, by the end of it, Hanna was stationed in front of a target setting a hundred yards away. Ignoring the handful of glances coming from a few of the nearby patrons - most of them older men who seemed to find something funny about her being there and were elbowing each other and grinning in her direction - Hanna next drew her own weapon from her waistband, took aim, and fired six shots in rapid succession.
She hit the bullseye each and every time.
She also smiled to herself, ever so slightly, as she began to reload and this time noted that the men who had been teasing her had promptly stopped doing so.
