How To Shoot Straight, Monday

"Blasters are kind of like your guns, but better," Atton said. He held up one of his own, custom-made blasters. "They're lighter and the recoil isn't half as bad, just to start with. The same safety rules still hold: don't point them at anything you don't want to shoot and don't scratch your head with them no matter how old-school your animation cycles are, always check if they're charged or not, and keep your stance firm."

He gestured at the gun range behind him.

"Blaster shots won't go on almost forever like bullets do, but they do leave scorch marks," he said. "So I set up some panneling for the occasion. If you use them again in the future, try not to destroy the furniture of anybody you like."

Beat.

"That's it. Go."

It was nice to get back to the practical skills after the stupid test thing. Crazy Apple had a lot more interesting in actually doing things than in demonstrating her knowledge. Unless, you know, it served some special purpose.

The reduced weight and lighter recoil were pretty obvious once she started handling the blaster herself. She got familiar with the thing, and took some shots. It took a few tries to get adjusted, but once she did, her accuracy was pretty impressive. Having a literal sixth sense that allowed you to intuitively understand the space around you really was an advantage when shooting.

Of course, at some point, Crazy Apple paused and looked down at the blaster, wondering if she'd get in trouble if she took it apart to see how it worked.

Mara was...scarily good at shooting blasters.
