[OPEN] Ximilia Station | April Catch-All
CHARACTERS: Ziggy and you!
LOCATION: misc. locations on the station.
DATE: April's resting time aboard the Ximilia!
CONTENT: Ziggy unwinds and does a little target practice. And watches Disney Channel movies.
WARNINGS: gun use is probably the most of it.
I. Welcome Back | Teleportation Area / Infirmary
[Ziggy returns to the Ximilia a bit shaken, much like she had after Badrock — not quite so traumatically, not with any lives taken by her hands, but it had been close. She's relieved in knowing she hadn't shot anyone dead, but there was the memory of falling into that chasm and seeing the fabled Long Cloak: she'd thought she was done for, and she had squeezed her eyes shut and had waited for that to be it.
... But she's still here.
Still alive.
She lingers around the teleportation and infirmary room, just to make sure everyone else is okay. Really, she just scraped up her hands and knees, so a few bandaids and an ice pack for her sizable black eye was enough for her. She stops long enough to help apply some antiseptic to someone's gashed arm, making a little face at them.]
Oh, don't be a baby. It just stings for a second.
II. Target Practice | Armory / Shooting Range
[The days that follow are her remembering that she really should continue working on her aim; she's not half bad, not after spending a huge chunk of time in Taeum practicing in the room with all the glass breakables, but there's always room for improvement. She gets herslef a decent holster for her hip and a typical handgun and spends a few hours a day shooting at those little moving targets in the distance.
Aim lower, account for the ricochet.
She recollects Peter's lessons, because despite how it may seem, she's better at following instruction than it seems.
... It just usually depends on who is instructing and what they're asking of her.
And how stupid they sound.
At one point, she picks up a — shotgun? It's kind of huge. She's never shot a gun this big before, and she's clearly trying to decide whether it's worth knowing how.]
III. A Day in the Life | Common Living Area / Item Drop Areas
[But it's not all grim, miserable training. She does stay in her room a terribly unhealthy amount of time still, but people may see her sneak out and actually be among her peers from time to time. The communal area with the couches is her favorite place to linger around — she likes to see what new books are left in the item drops, and this time she considers a book called First Blood, with a man running on the background of a red, fiery sky. She scopes some shirts and decorative things that look a bit like home. Which is a step from her leaving her room terribly barren, right?
She also practices the art of... becoming a fan of something.
It had started one night where she'd borrowed one of those fancy modern flat pad screens, or whatever they're called. There were a few selections to pick from on it, and she happened upon one called High School Musical. One of the few movies on there that had a teenaged cast, she's pretty sure (well, the characters definitely are teenagers, unless some idiot named it High School Musical for literally no reason). And the rest is history: she settles in, wrapped in a blanket like some old beggar woman, and watches High School Musical.
Anyone wandering by will notice she's too enraptured with it to pay them any mind.
Here's a visual of what one may witness:]
[Oh dear.]
