Here's a little something to cure your Monday Blues.
Tohrment Ghardian
*Trez and IAm have been here in the manse for a few weeks,
and fitting in like they've lived here all their lives. But yesterday at Last
Meal we discovered that they had yet to visit our shooting range, so I
volunteered to give them the grand tour. I check my watch. If I know the
Shadows, they will be right on time. I turn around to make sure everything's
ready and sure enough, I hear footsteps coming down the hall and into the range
area.* Hey, Trez, iAm. *I extend my hand and both take it, pulling me in for a
slap on the back.* Glad you guys are here.
Trez Moor Ghardian
*I grin at Tohrment.* I am too, Love to
shoot guns. *I hear my brother mumble something I turn my head to him.* You say
something? *When he just turns his head away from me and doesn't answer I push
off his shit. I see Tohr nod and ask if we are ready. We nod and he opens a
door with a key and a code.* Don't like people coming in here? *"Safety
more so." I nod at him as he walks us to the back.*
IAm Ghardian
*As we come up to a huge wall of just about
ever hand gun, SMG, and machine gun ever made I instantly want to just start to
shot them but I know I have to wait and be cool about this.* Damn that is a lot
of fucking hardware. *I hear Tohrment chuckle and he keeps walking to the back
where there is 20 lanes for shooting.* Damn, this is huge, was this for the
school you guys were doing?
Tohrment Ghardian
Yeah, we used it with the trainees, but
any of us can come down here at any time and shoot. *I nod at the wall.* Of
course you guys can see we've got just about anything that shoots, and probably
some no one else even knows of.* I laugh a little as I point to a couple of V's
"acquisitions". *Most of us have our own guns we keep upstairs in our
rooms as well, but these are for anyone. Go ahead, take one.* Seeing Trez's
eyes light up like a Christmas tree, I restrain myself from laughing again.*
I've pretty much shot them all at some point. It's good to be familiar with as
many as possible before going out on patrol, true?
Trez Moor Ghardian
*Walking up to the wall I see a beautiful
blacked out H & K .45. As I am holding it in my hand it fits almost
perfectly, like the gun was made for me and by the SV put here.* Damn this one
is sweet as shit. *I let the clip slide out and I give it a look about.* Damn
this thing is clean, do the doggen clean these too? *I see Tohrment shake his
head and chuckle. "No but if I let them, they more then likely would.* I
walk over to the ammo box and start loading it up. As I slip the mag back in
place I hear Tohr tell IAm to pick one out as well.*
IAm Ghardian
*Walking up to it I don't take any time to
think about it. I pull off a 1918 Colt .45 and give it a look over. I load it
up and load a round into the chamber. I nod at Tohrment who tells us to pick a
lane. I walk over to one and get set lined up. I ignore the ear muffs and the
safety glasses on the table.* I am all set here. *I see my brother nod "I
am good here."*
Tohrment Ghardian
Oh, no, you don't, brother. *I reach over
and put a hand on Trez's shoulder.* Safety first, dude. Rule number one around
here is everyone wears the ear muffs and safety glasses. Don't care who you are
or what you do. I'm not cleaning up burst eardrums or pieces of eyeball, feel
me? Anyone can have an off moment and all it takes is one time. Remind me to
tell you of the time Cop let one riccochet off the ceiling. It took him months
to live down. *I toss both he and IAm Ghardian ear muffs and safety glasses.*
Trez Moor Ghardian
*Giving them a disgusted look I look over
and see my brother following that logic and putting them on. I let out a big
huff of air and put them on.* Fine. *I give Tohrment another nod and I see him
hit the switch and the end of the range lights up. I see the targets 50 yards
down and I get a huge grin and look at my little brother.* Dinner tonight for
Tohr and myself if I can hit a dime. *I see IAm nod his head "Your on, but
if you lose you have to do dishes tonight at Sal's." I let out a loud
growl and nod my head.* You are on little brother.
IAm Ghardian
*Putting the Colt down and walking behind Trez
so I know he isn't cheating. I look over at Tohrment.* Whether he hits the dime
or not you and your shellan still can have dinner on me. As a thanks for taking
us down here. *I see him smile and say thanks. I look over at Trez.* You ready?
*When he nods I look over at Tohr* When ever you say go he will start. This is
your range after all.
Tohrment Ghardian
Not mine, bro. It's all of ours. Of
course, let something go wrong, and the shit lands at my feet. *I look at the
brothers, guns raised into position, eyes narrowed at their respective
targets.* I'm not sure which of you I should put my money on. It's gonna be
close. All right, on my go...One...Two...Wait a minute, are you sure you're
ready? *Trez gives me what may be one of the best eyeball rolls I've seen in a
while.* Okay, no stalling this time. I swear. One...Two...Th...Should I get a
bell?
Trez Moor Ghardian
*I let out a growl at him and he start to
laugh loud "Okay okay, seriously this time. One, Two, Go!" I squeeze
the trigger and let the first round go off. I hear my brothers start to go off
as well. Within 10 seconds both our guns are empty and on the table in front of
us. I try to see if I can see the grouping but it is too close to know from
this far, even with my eyes. I see my brother look down my lane and he nods his
head. "This is gonna be close." I nod at him as Tohr hits the switch
and the targets get closer.*
IAm Ghardian
*As the targets come to edge of the lane I see
Tohrment grab them "So, no one can make it any closer." I see him
pull out a dime and put it up to mine. I see the corner of one of my shots come
out of the edge of it. "Shit that is a sick grouping.* I watch him turn to
Trez's and do the same when it covers it perfectly I grin.* Good job brother,
no dishes for you. *I see my brother start to chuckle "Damn right I won, I
am the older brother." I wave off his enthusiasm, and not going to let him
know I let him win.* So, dinner for you and your shellan when ever you guys
want it.
Tohrment Ghardian
*I laugh at those two, seeing their
obvious affection for each other, even if they are highly competitive.* No
need, really. Just want you guys to feel as at home as possible here.
Everything is open to everyone, and you are more than welcome to come down any
time. *Seeing that he's not going to take no for an answer, I slap his shoulder.*
All right, my man. We'd love to come out. Maybe one night later this week? That
good for you?
IAm Ghardian
*I smile when he excepts.* Yeah that will be
great, and truly thanks for letting us come down here, this is really sweet. *I
think to myself Once you think you know this place it throws you another
surprise. I put the safety on the gun and walk it back over to the wall. When I
turn around I see Trez still ogling his grouping.* Wow, my brother the one
destined to marry the queens daughter, modest as ever. *I hear him growl at me
for bringing up the s'Hisbe. I look at my watch and I see the time.* Oh shit, I
am late I have some important customers coming in tonight. *I look over at
Trez.* Didn't you have a reservation tonight to?
Trez Moor Ghardian
*Realizing I did have to meet with the
Primale about the dinner date with Selena I take the gun to the wall and look
over at Tohrment.* Thanks a lot for bring us down here man. We have both been
jonesen to check it out. *I see him chuckle "Yeah like I said it is always
open, just come down when ever. If it is locked the key is in my office just
before the Infirmary~BDB Unbound."* Sweet I will most definitely be back
down. *I see my brother nod. "Yeah same here." I walk up to Tohr.*
Oh, yeah I hear you might need more people for rotation some nights. My brother
and me are ready and willing to help you guys out. *I see him nod. "Thanks
you two out there with my brothers helping them in the field will make their
shellans feel safer I can promise you that. I nod to him and walk to the door
where my brother is waiting. I see Tohr close it behind us. as we pass his
office I see him look in at his desk "I got some work to catch up on you
boys have a good night."* Oh, yeah we will thanks. *My brother and I head
out the tunnel to head off to Sal's ~ BDB Unbound.* ~
XOXO!
