    The gun range as it was included a table in front of a roped off area marked with brass coated stanchions and retractable red ropes. The table itself was draped in a red table cloth beneath a black tray. On said tray was a plethora of BB pellet boxes along with the lever action firearms to be uses tonight. It is a duo of pistols with tiny levers under the barrel plus 2 slightly larger "Winchester Style" rifles.

    The end of the range sported a large plywood wall to control misses or the rare over penetration. The targets themselves were posters held up by wire frames that showed fairies. Disney, Celtic, and all kinds of pop culture depictions of the Fey. Clearly Circe was not a fan.

    A paper tent sign can be found at either end of the table. They give the following warnings. Do not aim at anything you don't want to shoot. Do not aim at your eyes, you will put it out kid. At the range Circe is always right. You will listen to Circe. You will not ignore Circe's commands.

    Circe walks up to the table before turning around to face those that followed her. She has folded her arms under her chest with a smirk on her face as she waits.

    Mechanics: The Range is 20 feet long and the weapons available are either a BB Pistol or BB Rifle. This puts the pistol at a -4 for being at long range and the rifle at -2 for medium range. Aiming takes 1 turn of combat to add 1 to your attack roll, maximum bonus is 3. Aiming for a poster's head is only a -2 here due to their abnormally large size.

    Rifles and pistols - all foreign to the knight-errant, more accustomed to melee combat. From the few times he's held an actual firearm, he only knows the theater props are much, much lighter than the real deal. The Flowering doesn't expect to hit any marks tonight, but it won't stop him from trying.

    Knowing when he's outclassed, Abraham waits and looks expectantly at Circe, ready for instruction. The rules bring a smile and a chuckle - wise and to the point.

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Following Circe and Abraham, she stops besides the Knight, having no clue what to do.

    But her face had an eager smile as she looked at the setup, and read the rules.

    This was going to hilarious to those around her. The Nix having new shot a gun of any kind before, and in a dress and heels. Yup, this would be fun.

    Circe unfolds her arm and claps, "Okay! I'm an impatient bitch so we're gonna get started with pay attention ta the rules on the table."

    "Second!"
    She picks up one pistol and displays it for Abraham and Seraphina to see, "Levers," she points this part out, "Useful! These get pumped before ya try ta hit the target," Circe chuckles as she demonstrates, "Don't feel bad about it. These things ain't exactly the best."

    The Fairest spins on her heel, taking a potshot at the poster that resembles Oberon.

    "Wow, didn't think I'd hit,"
    Circe shakes her head while flipping off the poster before spinning back around with her free hand stretched out, "So no worries! Aiming can help. Best ta look down the barrel," blue fingers tap on the parts as she describes them, "Ta look through the sight ta line up yer shot," Circe then waggles her eyebrows and ears, "Aaaaand I'm happy ta get up close ta either of ya if ya have trouble figuring that out," she sticks out her tongue as the pistol goes back to the table.

    Circe then takes a step to the side with a slight bow before using holding both hand in a presentation manner towards the table, "Time fer ya ta fill Them with lead," her face scrunches up, "Or brass. Maybe plastic I think actually, ya know," she shakes her head, "Cazzo qualunque cosa. C'mon! Shoot Tinker Bell in the face."

    Abraham listens attentively and watches with interest as the elven Summer pierces a paper fae. When his time comes, the Flowering picks up a rifle and mirrors every movement Circe's made. Aiming for several long moments and calling on his Season for help (it's not cheating if the rules don't explicitly state 'no Contracts', right?) the knight-errant squeezes the trigger...

    Treasured Nix

    Sera listened and watched, immediately not having much faith in her ability to hit the targets. For one, she’d never shot a BB gun or rifle and two, this was not her strong suit.

    But, she was going to try anyways. And when both Circe and Abraham were successful, she smiled and nodded. Happy they hit the target. Maybe not where they wanted, but it was still something.

    So she picks up the rifle, struggling for a moment to position the gun, but she gets it. Trying to mimic what Circe and Abraham did. Taking a moment, she steadies her hands, looking down the barrel at the target. Not at the head or ear, just at the target, happy if she hits anywhere.

    And while she felt awkward in her dress and heels, she was determined. But not determined enough and misses the target completely.

    Laughing as she lowers the rifle, “Well, seems I suck at this!” clearly amused with a smile.

    Circe laughs, "Well Abe," she smiles widely, "Nobody said no magic. Though by the blue rules only body that matters fer rules is mine, oh ho ho ho ho!"

    After she stops laughing she looks at Abe, "But it is totally cool anyway. Helped ya hit," she smiles then quirks an eyebrow, "Uh, as long as the second shot was the one ya used Glamour on that is. Otherwise kinda, meh."

    Then turns to watch Seraphina shoot, giving a lackluster wolf whistle. "Sorry Sera. Yer hot fer sure but pellet guns are a turn off fer me. If it makes ya feel better these things are not anywhere near optimal range. Hmm," Circe rubs her chin, "Probably calculated range based off my Colt. Whoops," she shrugs with no sincerity at all.

    "But yer both gettin' the hang of it. Just need practice ta learn it right. Though Imma lil' disappointed no up close instruction was required ta explain how ta use the sights, buuuuut guess save that kinda contact fer Spring's coronation,"
    she looks to Seraphina while waggling her eyebrows and ears, "Am I right?"

    Gripping the rifle even tighter (Abraham didn't notice, but his rosy knuckles turned white as a result), it takes the knight-errant less than a second to point the firearm right at that fucker Erlkonig. He doesn't aim. In one breathless moment a trigger is squeezed and a pellet hits the cardboard figure right where its heart should be, ripping right through it and hitting the plywood.

    Calmly, the rifle is put down.

    "Thanks!" He exclaims to Sonnie Wu

    Treasured Nix

    Turning to the elf, she shrugs, “I can’t win them all can I?” she says with a wink. “Still fun though!” even if she didn’t look good shooting a pellet gun, she was still having fun. “But I am curious now about how a real gun would shoot and handle differently.” But she’d probably still be a horrible shot.

    She looks down at the rifle, then back to Circe, “I mean, it would be more appropriate for a Spring party. But if you were doing it simply for educational purposes, no one could fault you. For all I know, maybe I missed because I’m not using the scope right.” She’d let Circe show her how to aim.

    An eyebrow raises as she watches the Summer, not surprised she hit the target.

    The Nix watches as Abraham hits the target yet again, and cheers for him.

    “Way to go! You seem to be a man of many talents!” she compliments sincerely.

    “Well, lets give it another go.”
    And she steps forward, raising the rifle once again and aims. When she actually hits a target, she jumps up, “I hit it!” she was obviously both surprised and excited.

Also needs more permits ta not have the cops spoil yer fun. Or silencers. Or shoot in the Hedge. We can do that next time!" As for the scope, "Right," she steps up beside Seraphina shoulder to shoulder. Circe is in more gun then bunny mode though, "Here's how ya look," and explains the aiming process as well as how to brace legs for firing.

    Circe steps back as Sera shoots to observe and demonstrate aiming somewhat. Or she just wants to pull a trigger.
