"....I know how to fire it...but as I said before..I do not like using guns if I can help it."
She frowned at the Ares before she moved aside her vest and showed the Ares Crusader machine pistol sitting in its own concealed holster with a quick drawing sling.
"If you want to see a test of my accuracy...give me a moment..."
She crouches down to the sack...the thick black tail behind her lashing about and around, the thick appendage almost slithering in glee. A few motions later and she slid out a compound bow, judging by the make and model..it was a Ranger X as it unfolded, springing into full life as the pull became taut. She then touched her fingers along the quiver...noticeably the feathers color coded before she drew one. The arrowhead was a nasty barbed end...something that would not be fun to remove if you were on the recieving end.
"...what do you want me to hit?"

"Alright," Bishop says as he slides the clip back into the grip and holsters the Predator. "But first, tell me why you prefer to use the bow - what are the pros and cons of using a bow over a firearm? In what situations would you choose one over the other?"

"Most armor is designed to withstand a bullet by spreading the kinetic energy from when it impacts. Arrows pierce rather then impact...don't ask me for all the science mumbo jumbo. Secondly....do you know how painful it is to get a barbed arrowhead out of your chest or ass? Its definitely something you're going to remember...third..."
She lowered the bow, crouching as she touched a rather bright red feather head with noticeable notches underneath. She slid out the other arrow, showing a rather thick headed arrowhead.
"This...is not your typical arrow either. Its for making noise, entrances, and generally a bad day for the other guys if there's a need for fireworks. Its quicker then having to change a clip. Thirdly, arrows are rather silent except for the plunk of a string. Lastly, I prefer weapons that I can feel a part of...feel the tension of my muscle when I draw the pull back. Guns don't give me that sensation. Oh..and a minor bit of me being better with it then a pistol...."
She smirks a little as she slid the explosive headed arrow back into the quiver.
"But I do use the gun for things such as cover fire..or when just firing a bow is impractical. Truth be told, if I'm that close quartered in combat...its either lay down some scatter fire, some party favors, or if its a drekfest...just using melee weapons or hand to hand. And yes..I can kill with my bare hands as well if you have to ask."

"Is that a fact?" Bishop asked with a quirk of his brow.
He removed his jacket and unclipped his shoulder holster, removing it and dropping it and the Predator to the floor. Then, kneeling down, he lifted his trouser leg and unbuckled a small ankle holster holding a small hold-out pistol from his leg and laid it on the floor.
"Alright." He said, straightening. "Show me."

Wrench nodded. "Fair enough," and follow to the car. Once underway, "So what's your specialty in this?"
ooc: just making small talk on the way besides that one question.

"...show you? That I can use a bow or that I could kill you with my bare hands?"
She arched a brow at him now.

"Well, killing me would be a little extreme." Bishop quipped. "But by all means show me what you can do."
He stepped back with one foot, taking a stance but leaving his hands by his sides. He was a safe distance from her and was confident he could raise a defense in the time it would take her to cover the ground.

"I'm gonna check out of my things at home, get some laundry done too; 'Should be back tomorrow morning. Just don't kill the newbies 'till I see'em.."
---------------------------------------- The homecoming was ok; Turns out Lianna was just fooling around (damn woman) about that phone call, and the boyz were happy to see him come back in one piece (not to mention the little extra cash he gave them before leaving). His mom was happy too, just before she gave him the 'why didn't you call I was worried' speech. Artie left the hospital and some administrator wanted something..possibly cash for his treatment..Damn Doc Summers..always the straight arrow.
The report of the bugs was almost done, so was his laundry; he had to clean it two times to get the stench out of his stuff; Good thing he took a shower before, since he had no more hot water now.
Random gunshots echoed in the distance, mixed with the many strip clubs music and his own music blasting away. It's good to be home...
"Jack, Jack! where you at?" Red just entered his apartment, from the sound of it, he needed something bad. "In my room man, what's up?" "Oh..hey..boxers and your vest, doin' laundry?" "Yeah yeah...so whatcha' want bro? Not just catch a glimpse I hope."" "Shut up fuck face and listen; Just got a call from Billy Mura.." "Wait..THE Billy Mura? As in Black Rain gang boss Billy Mura? The fuck he wants?" "Well y'know..fixed his hog..kinda did some other repairs for his crew and well anyway, he called me 'cause he need some guy to guide people into the Cascades." "Guide?..Pff..can't he use one of his boys..you don't even know where the Cascades are!" "I know..just..wll, since you went there a few times and all..pays 2Gs too.." "Baaahh...I just came back man...I wanted to relax a bit tonight and shit..and I don't need the cash" "Yeah well not everybody's a big shot gunman 'round here brother. I would need that 2 grand..plus you know who you gonna guide man? Just guess..." "Pff..I dunno..some newbie smuggler who can't even make a gun run aqlone?..nah T, I ain't got no clue." Red just leaned forward, almost like he was about to spur out a government secret "Cold. Fury. Cold motherfukcin' Fury man..with some breeters..some guy and some asian woman."
Four-Eyes thought for a moment; Sure he can lazy it out tonight here, then Red will be pissed AND he'll miss his chance to meet the lead singer of Dark Tide...granted their all-Trog lyrics where not understandable by those who did not speak the language, but the interesting mix of pro Ork songs and the fast heavy metal sound the band creates was just too good of a chance to miss meeting the man in person. "When?"
"Tonight man, they need to get in fast..it's just guiding them in, we should be back 'round midnight here if we leave at..let's say 6:30?"
"Ok man, I'm in..tell that Trog we'll be in Carbonado at 6:30"
"YEAH! We gonna meet Cold Fury man!" Red just ran outside to his place to tell the news. Four-Eyes just wondered why someone like Fury didn't just moved in the legitimate way..didn't he had corp backing now?
Who cares, he's gonna meet Cold Fury, details are unimportant now.

Harley just nodded, internally focusing herself as well as restraining as she pictured only hurting him non lethally. Restraining the killing arts, she moved forward...

It wasn't a long drive. Since I was looking to park as far in as possible, it only added a few extra moments to the trip. I thought about his question and answered him in his own kind. "Just that, mine. I'll regale you with stories if your hired.-" I smirked "-I'll even buy ya a beer while I brag."
((what goes around. lol.))

To bad I tried to get some help on my bills but no luck. Micro thinks then hears a bit later that he can't met Illyian yet. Well I guess I should down grade my living arrangements or I'm never going to have money to spend on other things. Micro thinks then give a quick good bye to the people at the tent, and lets Meg know what his is up to. (finding a new house. Med life style level.)
Micro gets on his bike and heads out to talk to his land lord and then check the papers for any listing in his price range. (med Level Life style). Micro spends the rest of the day dealing with his land lord and get his stuff ready for the move.
(OOC I did get a high life style but it is too expensive to keep going so I will be down grading to Mid to have some money to spend on up grading my character, No biggy to me.)
(OOC Wolf let me know what I find for houses and where there located.)

Lifestyle for Micro - you can choose virtually any you wish - in any area too! A high in the barrens may be a well-preserved housing block or a collapsed under-storey carpark you rent/buy then do up with lots of security measures.. could be a gated wage-slave enclave in the burbs.. a penthouse in town.. Seattle is your oyster!
Help with rent would be covered by you. however Meg did mention that she would consider any plans for supporting you guys with magics, like the costs of elemental summoning..
Between you mages there would be a fair few summonings involved.. big ones would attract attention at some point and would leave an astral impression. If yo fancy writing up your preparations for choosing a summoning site, a contact to get you the details for the circle (though you should be able to work that out yourselves - it would be part of the 'materials' cost) who would be there what size (10?) protection for you if it goes free, then cleanup.
Could be out of town - but big elementals will need big elemental stuff nearby.
Work it out folks - an incident of your own making! (worth karma too)

I parked the car and got out. I locked it behind the dwarf. I took Wrench to meet with Meg. "A Mr. Wrench to see you Meg." I gave her the results of my quick attempt of a impromptu interview. Not a lot to go by. When they were finished I ran the idea of a ritual summoning by Meg. "I'm still of the idea we should bind something large to your site. However I would also suggest inch long spikes on your rodent zapper. Some people do wear rubber soled boots."

As Harley moved, Bishop's body tensed like a coiled spring. To him, she was being non-committal, throwing a half hearted attack to test his defenses.
Attempting to overwhelm her quickly and surprise her with his ferocity, Bishop closed the distance between them in a heartbeat, making a grab for Harley even as she initiated the attack.
Grabbing her right arm with his left, he yanked it down in an attempt to disturb her balance. Her stance was good and her movement smooth, and he had to reverse momentum and shoulder-barge her to achieve his ends. With her balance disturbed he stepped behind her and kicked her legs from under her, landing her on her back.
"I do hope you aren't holding back on me because I'm not an adept." He said dryly.
Initiative - 2d6 + 5 = 14 [dice=6][dice=6] Unarmed combat + 5 combat pool [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6]
Knockdown attack (p86, Cannon companion) - 5 successes = Deadly damage code = automatic knockdown but no damage unless I am mistaken? If so I'll happily edit.
Defense against Tranq's attack: [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] 1 success or 5, dependent on whether she's is/is still prone when she makes the attack?[rand=7532591071552119262099785503646207057176441371769655057829680369]

Harley gets sprawled, growling as she hits the ground. Her own attack had been countered before she could get it off as she frowned and rolled to her feet once more, crouched but ready to spring as the tail swished about.
OOC:
Correct, as far as I could tell with the rules...a Deadly is automatic knockdown. Since I would be prone, getting up would be my next action and since you used defense, that would make your secondary action voided as well, correct?[rand=190113841972234909283703684180622467753496250987177685125824551223]
