Day 364 | Action both Open and Closed
Closed to Aidan - Memory Garden
[Mal hadn't found time yet to get back to the gardens to finish his memorial for Inara. There was too much going on with all the new arrivals. And then he met that Han Solo guy which changed everything. Perhaps so as to not be outdone, or perhaps to keep himself sharp with another smuggler about, Mal woke today and didn't immediately go out in search for another bottle of whiskey.

Instead he took the time to wash up, brush his teeth, and put on some clean clothes. Not that he was planning on running into anyone today, but it was time to stop wallowing. He still had something left to finish on that account though.

In the Memorial Gardens, Mal kneeled in front of the bush he had sloppily planted. He dug the stones out from under it, and began stacking them. When he was finished, he sat back on his heels, assessing the entire memorial. Well. It was good enough.]

I think you'd be ashamed of me Inara. More'n you usually are. But it turns out, you bein' here? Best thing that ever happened to me. I ain't handling the drop from that so well.

Open Action - Sector 2: Athletic Complex and shooting range
[Mal's not going to go back to the alcohol. Not yet at least. Unless you manage to bribe him. So instead, he'll be busy beating up sandbags and shooting at targets to get all this aggression out.

	That's a pistol, and you'll want to point it thataway. [He nods down toward the targets.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Okay fine he turns it.] And then I press this in? [The trigger, but he doesn't really know if he's holding it right at all. He think's he's got it how the other gentleman was holding it before, though.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal wasn't planning on teaching a gun lesson today, but the kid clearly has no idea what he's doing. He walks over, his own pistol pointed at the ground.] Guess you need a lesson in gun safety first. [He strips down his gun, showing all the parts and explaining how each one works.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It's definitely not like anything they have at home.] Thank you for teaching me. These weapons are very unlike anything we have at home. A bow would be the only similarity in that you can reach an enemy from a distance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal nods in acknowledgement.] Bow an' arrow wouldn't be all that useful in my world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action backoftheline 2016-04-01 02:58 am UTC (link)
	[. . . Suddenly he feels defensive of bows even though he doesn't use them himself.] I...am sure that it could still do something. [The princess's special talent would not be useless!!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action cptn_tightpants 2016-04-01 08:14 pm UTC (link)
	Sure... if you caught someone by surprise. But it ain't as accurate... nor do it have the range this does. And this is faster. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps it just depends on the archer! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal could try and argue, but he decides to instead just illustrate his point. He loads his pistol with it's ammo, takes aim, and empties it in quick succession at the target on the other end.] And this one's slow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action backoftheline 2016-04-03 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	[ . . . . . . . . . . . . . SO WHAT ] This is a dangerous weapon. I do not think that it is very honorable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Action cptn_tightpants 2016-04-04 12:38 am UTC (link)
	[Mal gives the kid a very confused look.] What's honor gotta do with it? The whole point is to kill people. Or food. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Action backoftheline 2016-04-06 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	Because if you are to kill a man, I think it ought be best that you can look them in the eye and realize that it is a life you are taking, rather mindlessly press an object and murder them. [Huff huff huff!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ha! Ha!!! I get to quote canon!! With minor changes to fit this conversation. cptn_tightpants 2016-04-06 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	You don't know me, son, so let me explain this to you once. When I ever kill someone, they're awake. They're facing me, and they're armed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He eyes him quietly a moment. It doesn't seem to be a lie. At the least, he seems very well versed in these... weapons. It's something he can respect at the very least.] I would very much hope so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: XD cptn_tightpants 2016-04-10 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	Right then. So you've nothing to worry about. [He checks his firearm again, deciding he's tired of the range.] any other questions before I leave you to it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-04-12 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	[He shakes his head. While the weapon is unfamiliar, he did listen to the explanation.] No. Thank you for showing me this. [He raises it up once more.] I do not believe that I caught your name. I am Hakuryuu. [It probably translates out directly into 'White Dragon'.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2016-04-16 02:33 am UTC (link)
	[Mal nods at the thanks.] Hakuryuu. I'm Mal. See you around the prison. [and with that, he walks out.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
