Day 432 | Action
[There were certain things that occurred in Marina that Lyle despised more than anything else. One of these included picture day. He ALWAYS received a picture of Anew and it was too much for him to take each time.

So this time he wasn't even bothering with it. He wasn't going to look. He was going to avoid all places where they might be posted. So done with what stuff he had for the school, he headed to the shooting range just by the athletic center.

The set up for the shooting range was top notch, but the projectiles allowed were terrible. Still he always picked the best analog that functioned the closest to real bullets. Non-lethal of course, but they'd definitely leave a mark if someone got between the gun and the target.

Armed with a sniper rifle, he knelt across from one of the furthest targets, looking down the scope at it. Why did this make him feel better? Who knew. It just did and he was rather happy with this fact before he pulled the trigger, sending the projectile flying. A little off of center. He kept forgetting to accommodate for how wild this projectiles went.

He sighed, looking down at the paper he brought with him, trying to keep track of his aim was doing]

[ picture day, for lance, hadn't been too bad. sure, it was a bit of a kick in the gut to see his family again, to be reminded (once more) of the people he left behind...

but it had been nice, too, to see the new — no, second — family he's made in voltron.

still, he's never one to like staying idle for very long. eight times out of ten he needs to be up and about and moving, doing something, and it doesn't take long for the restlessness to get the better of him here. not wanting to dwell in thoughts of being trapped and helpless, he takes to the streets (or, "streets") and starts to wander about.

which is how he finds himself at the shooting range. perfect. he wanders in just as lyle fires a shot, earning a low, impressed whistle from lance. ]

Nice one.

[Lyle glanced up when he hears the whistle, looking for at the teen who just walked in. Before Celestial Being, before this place, he might have thought he were too young to interested in something like that, but he'd met a lot of kids who used guns for one reason or another here]

Thanks. I do my best with what they give us here.

[He paused to put the safety lock on so the gun wouldn't go off. Sure, the projectiles were not lethal, but still better to treat it like it was]

I'm Lyle.

	[ lance looks around; the facilities are in pretty good shape, all things considering. ] I'm Lance. [ he wanders further into the space, now that he's positive lyle isn't about to keep practicing any time soon. ] Dunno who thought it was a good idea to give supposed criminals access to a shooting range, but I can't say I'm complaining.

Nice to meet you, Lance.

[Lyle opened the compartment to pop out one of the projectiles, showing it to Lance]

Everything here is non-lethal. Some of them are just stupid like foam darts. This one will leave a bruise, but it won't kill you. Also why they are so unpredictable.

[As he put the projectile back-]

I'm trying to keep my skills up so I don't lose them.

You shoot?

	[ lance eyes the nerf gun-like projectiles with an arched brow. he still doesn''t think it's all that smart to even allow supposed criminals an opportunity to keep their skills sharp, but who is he to tell prison-keeps how to do their job... ] Something like that. [ he puffs up a bit. ] I'm kind of the sharpshooter in my team. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lyle doesn't exactly think this is smart either, but hey, he's not complaining. He'll go ahead and use that to his advantage. As long as they let them have these, he'll keep doing this] Are you? Care to try your hand with this? [He shifted the gun to offer it to Lance] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he's momentarily caught off-guard, not having expected to be put on the spot like that, despite his own boasting. ] Uh — yeah, sure. [ he comes closer, reaching for the gun to relieve lyle of it. ] You sure you don't mind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cbsniper_v2 2017-06-29 05:53 pm UTC (link)
	Not at all. If you want to try it. [Didn't have to. Merely an offer] The bullets do go a little wild. Usually to the right. The problem with essentially toys. (Reply to this) (Parent)
