WHO: Garrus Vakarian, open to all
WHERE: A firing range! ...Somewhere.
WHEN: Thursday afternoon, three pm-ish
SUMMARY: Everybody gets together to shoot at paper people after a long week of Nazifest 2010. Tag yourselves in! And, er, feel free to make your own non-Garrus related threads. He's just the organizer.
WARNINGS: Shouldn't be any? A lot of cops here.
FORMAT: Blah probably para due to my inability to do anything else. Feel free to switch it up.

The first time he actually fired his handgun, the recoil almost flipped it entirely out of his hands. Since then, Garrus had been dead-set on getting more accustomed to modern weaponry - he had his rifle, which was extremely fortunate, but he couldn't keep it on him 24/7. So here he was, getting lectured by a totally unconcerned-by-his-appearance woman behind a counter on proper gun safety which he was pretty sure was only because he was an imPort.

"And we can't allow you to fire that...rifle...inside our building," The mousy woman pointed at the rifle in his grip, the one he'd brought to practice with. "We have an outdoor area for those types of weapons. I'm not certain on whether or not you can fire it on the premises period."

"Alright, but-"

"I'm not finished, sir. Proper gun safety mandates that you aim the barrel fully away from your body when firing-"

Garrus just leaned onto the counter, chin in his hand. It had to have been an hour of lectures, paperwork, and waving other passersby off when they tried to get a look at the futuristic gun he was packing. "I suppose it doesn't mean anything at all to you that I'm an officer of the law and know how to fire a weapon, does it."

"Despite that, I need to be certain you know exactly how to use our weapons. And that weapon needs to be unloaded before you leave the facility, sir."

"I can't unload it. It's permanently loaded."

"...Sir, I don't think I understand. You cannot leave this facility without unloading your weapon, sir," she said louder, as if he were deaf. Garrus just sighed and put a hand over his eyes.

Today was shaping up wonderfully already.

Yes, Garrus glanced between Hiruma and the woman suspiciously, but waved it off with a slight bit of envy. He glanced at Hiruma and brushed off the annoying laughter as best he could, giving a slight nod.

"Garrus Vakarian." Kekeke? "And you're...Hiruma, right? I don't know your surname. But it's good to see this many people here - it'd just be awkward if I were here alone."

Hiruma laughed again. He laughed a lot, less as a sign of amusement any more so much as a sort of punctuation. "Hiruma is my surname, but it's what I go by." He took a stick of gum from his pocket and put it in his mouth. He really had been in the City too long; he didn't even stare at the alien, didn't find him weird looking or strange at all. It still weirded him out sometimes how normal weird shit was around here.

"Open invites tend to get a decent amount of pings, kekeke. And there's plenty of people on the network who got a soft spot for firearms!" Hiruma gave the lady behind the counter a look before saying, "I'm with him, I'll vouch." The lady didn't look particularly happy about it, but it seemed that Garrus was now in the clear.

The spiky blonde took a pair of the provided ear protection and put them on. A lot of good they did; the pointy tips of his ears stuck out behind them. But they helped a bit. Then, out of nowhere, he pulled some sort of machine gun. I have no idea about guns, but this thing is tough cookies.

Garrus glanced between Hiruma and the woman behind the counter, and smirked - though it was hard to tell. "Smooth. And, er, thanks - it probably saved me a lot of time." He gave the woman a nod, before also taking a pair of ear protection and...staring at it, more or less. Damn not having anything designed especially for turians in this time period. Deciding he'd more or less be fine, not that he could wear them anyway, he sat them back on the desk and was immediately distracted by the gun Hiruma pulled out of nowhere.

"...You weren't kidding when you said you knew quite a bit about guns, were you?" It was really all he could think to say at the moment. I mean, gun out of nowhere.

"I know just about everyone in this town. Kekekee." The statement was simple enough, taken at face value. But it was certainly... sinister, in some way. Very sinister.

Hiruma polished the gun a bit with his shirt and grinned, "Kekeke. It's one of my many skills. I don't even have the porter to thank for that one." To be honest, Hiruma never thought it was weird, pulling guns out of the ether. "I know plennnttty about guns."

Garrus caught the sinister way the words could be taken, was put on-guard by it - call it a gut urge, call it a cop's intuition. Whatever it was, it was telling him to be careful. Then again he was second-guessing that almost immediately as his Saren-induced sense of paranoia possibly finally setting it. Who could know?

He lifted his own futuristic rifle in hand, comforted by its familiar weight in his hands. "That's something - where I come from, we have to carry everything. Gets to be a damn nuisance after a little while." He gave a noncommittal shrug of his shoulders, then glanced at his rifle and back to Hiruma. I have no idea what model his rifle is, pretend it's Viper, which is sorta like a semiautomatic sniper rifle. Bitchin'.

"Really? Seen anything like this?"

Hiruma didn't care. He'd been evading the law here for long time, and even longer back home. No one expects the 18 year old con man. But today wasn't about cons or blackmail, it was about guns.

Bitchin. "I can see how it would be! Kekeke. Some time ago, this guy was selling infinite pocket belts. I think he's gone now, though."

Hiruma tilted his head and twitched his ears, looking at the rifle. "Daaamn. That's what they got in the future? Nice piece."
