    While the duels continue, Lord Fox has been busy organising another round of shooting. Now the Mekhet, with his long dark hair, stands ready to test his skill along with any who wish to participate for the sheer pleasure of it. A few members of the Herd hurry to and fro, bearing more of the sporting pistols used in the previous games.

    FIRING RANGE

    Each contestant will get three Dexterity + Firearms rolls, each representing an attempt to dislodge one of the plates attached to the rotating dummy.

    First roll will be at a -3 penalty, second at -2 penalty and third at -1 penalty reflecting the rotation of the dummy.

    The sporting pistol offers a +2L bonus to the roll and range is irrelevant.

    For each set, make the Firearms rolls (including the penalties) and drop them below, along with any framing narration you wish.

    At the end of each set scores will be compared. In the case of a tie, another set will be played.

    The Daeva sweetly sauntered over to Lord Fox after retrieving the pistol. She smiled at the Mekhet, enjoying the strands of his long hair with her eyes a moment. She was a sucker for the Victorian looking gentlemen.

    But after that had settled, Vivian took to the line to make the mark and hopefully not make a fool out of herself.

    Alas, the first one was wretched.

    She grimaced and took in a pointless breath, only for the sake of trying to focus.

    "Oh, well, that's a little better." As she saw where the last bullet landed.

    The last shot, apparently she became a bit cocky of herself.

    Another miss. The Daeva laughed and shook her head. "Okay, please tell me that was a practice round." Wanting to facepalm herself, she refrained but smiled genuinely at Lord Fox.

    Nothing more thrilling than looking terrible in front of some handsome chap.

    Lord Fox eyed Vivian with casual grace, taking in her stance as much as her physique. Only briefly did the Mekhet look away, out over the crowd as though he were expecting others. The deep growl of his voice purred when no one else joined them, the only manifestation of any concern of judgement.

    Smiling faintly, he let an eyebrow raise as Vivian launched her barrage. His head titled to one side and he gave a little shrug.

    "Of course. Perhaps the honoured lady simply needs to limber up." There was humour running through the gravel of his voice.

    Then he swept forward, pistol swirling and flashing as he let off his shots in a singular motion. All at once the plates clattered and fell to the ground.

    He turned back to Vivian, reloading his weapon. "Ready when you are."
    Selena Vivian York is UP!

    And apparently limbering up was exactly what the Daeva needed to do. It had been quite some time since she'd fired a shot, she was more than just rusty. She looked around right after he fired. Surprising that no one else seemed to join them. "Very good indeed, Lord Fox."

    Unsure if he was just lucky or actually skilled, Vivian stepped up and reloaded three bullets. She tuned out the entire place for a moment to assist with concentrating. Two were more on target, and one was just barely there. It was good, for now.

    "I guess you're correct, Lord Fox." She smiled and returned the shrug, best not be cocky.

    "Honoured? That is curious. Why do you find me honoured?" Vivian was just a more than a little intrigued, and her flirty eyes matched her coy grin.

    "Well you are honouring me with your presence, are you not?" Lord Fox grinned wolfishly. The intention may have been friendly but coupled with his growl an implicit threat remained. "I had thought that there were other people interested in a rematch but so far, it is only you. You have my complete and undivided attention."

    He turned slightly to better observe Vivian's shots. His chuckle was a rumble, at odds with his frame and his Clan. "Now that was impressive. Now we have ourselves a game, yes."

    Still grinning, he moved forward and fired again. This time there was no showmanship in his simple, practiced, movements.

    "I'd say that was inconclusive. Would you like to continue?" He flashed a smile.

    Vivian blinked, she had never thought of it like that before. To use it as a title was pretty flirtatious in her opinion. "Why yes, you're correct."

    She smirked as coy as she could. "And I like it when I have someone's undivided attention." Oh the things she considered doing to throw off his aim, but that wouldn't be playing fair.

    As she watched the Shadow again make some impressive shots, the Daeva wondered exactly how trained in this profession he may be. She was always game for some pointers.

    "So tell me, Lord Fox. Do you have a method of sorts for your skill? You have an impressive shot." Throwing some doe eyes at him, encouraging him to share a little... or even more than a little.

    Stepping up again, Vivian fired her own three shots. Not as good as the last round, but at least none of them were complete misses.

    Lord Fox checked and reloaded his gun slowly, letting their conversation breath.

    "I taught myself how to breath again," he volunteered. "No. Not by using the Blood. I studied techniques of breathing and... how you say... relearned how to breath. I don't do it all the time; its cumbersome and takes too much concentration - but! For those few moments during a firefight it can come in handy. Its just another technique. The rest is practice. And real experience. I made my name establishing a militia and helping out the Primogen Council when muscle was needed."

    The deep resonant growl of his voice only served to support his argument.

    "I take it that pistols are your preferred choice?" He nodded to the ruined dummies - and the Herd uncertainly replacing plates as if they expected to become targets themselves.

    Vivian was perplexed. Of course, when she was living, she didn't remember that breathing was part of it.

    "You know, I would like to learn that. Or, I should say, is it something I am able to be taught?" Perhaps it was a Shadow thing or another Covenant's skill. Even though the Fox said it would just take time and practice, it could be something secretive.

    Nodding at his question. "Yes, I prefer a pistol or some sort of gun. Although, I have done a few other things that may have taken a little more patience in the end. But shooting is definitely my go to defense. I am open to new ideas though."

    "Nothing beats a handgun," Lord Fox agrees. "Longarms have their place. But I find they put too much stress on the Masquerade. You can hide a handgun..."

    He let his words hang, the rest unsaid.

    "I have Obfsucate. Many in my Guild do not."

    He gave Vivian an appraising look. "Breathing is like any skill. It can be taught. Its not like I use a Devotion or anything for it."

    He left the words hanging there, too. Mysterious Shadows will be mysterious. And an irritating tease to anyone else.
