[Oh hey, look, it's Sakuma! That's someone you don't see on the network often since he always seems to be busy hiding from people. As it is, he seems a little hesitant to speak--]

Does anyone here know how to make weapons? Since what I'm thinking of isn't that conventional. It's just... I'm tired of not beng able to do anything here in regards to fighting and I might as well play with my strengths. If it isn't possible to make something new, I'm willing to learn something else. My aim is pretty good.

[He pauses slightly.]

Also, I don't really have anything to offer in return. Sorry.

[Unless anyone is willing to learn how to play soccer, that is.

It seems like he's not finished though because he sits there for a bit longer as he fiddles around with the fliter options]

[Filtered away from Kidou.]

By the way, if any of you know Kidou Yuuto, his birthday is coming up and I was thinking of doing something for him. Maybe not a party-- [Because let's admit it, Sakuma would probably throw a really shitty one.]--but maybe a gathering in the media room and we can watch movies and hang out. So if you know him, or just want to join, drop by the media room on the evening of the 5th.

Genda, can you help me make some snacks? Fudou, you're coming too.

[Survive this and maybe nothing else will distract you when your life depends on it. Also, remember Kirika, not all the kids grew up with guns. Kirika align her gun to one wall with hand prints, with one hand. Pulls the hammer until it clicks and BANG. Shoots a couple hand prints. She hands the pistol to him from the barrel after demonstrating.]

Hold a good poster and aim. That's all, I think. You can use two hands to you need to.

[A nod and he takes the gun from her. He had made sure to watch her carefully when she was demonstrating so when he has the gun, he holds it up trying to imitate her.]

So like this?

[Even if he's never used a gun before, it seems straightforward enough.]

[A nod as she watches him.]

Aim at one of the hand prints while keeping your back straight.

[And try to ignore the screams.]

[Another nod as he pulls the hammer back before holding the gun with both hands to keep it steady. While he did say his aim is good, aiming when you're shooting a gun is a lot different than aiming when you kick a ball but still, he's confident he won't mess up too badly.

He chooses a hand print then pulls the trigger.

The recoil is something he doesn't expect though and it surprises him enough to make him stagger backwards for a couple steps.]

[To be honest, she learned instinctively. It doesn't surprise her if she had forgotten to mention minor details. But hey, you learn as you go.

She just watches him.]

[He recovers quickly enough and looks up at the wall to see how he did. While it didn't quite compare to Kirika's shots, he'd managed to hit the bottom edge of the palm.]

Oh.

[At least he didn't miss the target, but not bad for a first timer.]

Want to try again?

[He nods then raises the gun again but pauses--]

Isn't this a waste of your bullets?

[Have a curious stare.]

It's fine.

[Well... if she says so.

He shrugs then turns his attention back to the wall and takes careful aim, keeping in mind the recoil. This time when he shoots, he doesn't stagger backwards.

If anything, Sakuma learns fast, especially from past mistakes.]

[He's learning quick.

Kirika stared at where he aimed than his poster. If anything, it was best for the person to learn how to make it conformable.]

What do you think?

It's... alright I guess. Definitely something I need to get used to.

[He looks down at the gun in his hand thoughtfully before holding it out to her, smiling slightly.]

Thank you for letting me try.

[Although the issue still stands that he doesn't really have a weapon.]

[Kirika nods and retrieves her gun, making sure the safety was on and such.]

You're welcome.

[Up to him if he wants to go with guns or not. This one is staying with her. ~~Now what is soccer.~~]

I don't really have anything to give to you in return though and my only skill is soccer so I'm not sure if I can teach you something back.

[This is the main reason he's always refrained from asking for lessons for any type of self defense. He knows the tower works on a trade system but what happens when he doesn't have any thing worthwhile to offer?]

...I've never played soccer. Is that alright?

[She's only asking cause she is curious and seen...no remembered people playing it.]

[He stares at her, almost incredulously.]

You want to learn how to play soccer?

[It's kind of unexpected to him because out of the skills he's seen people in the Tower posses, it's incredibly mundane but at the same time he's glad because someone's showing interest in something he loves.]

Yeah, I could show you.
