Welcome to Gaia! ::

Learning how to properly handle a gun is an exercise in self-control and empowering at the same time. C'mere.

*stands behind Chris and puts his hands on the glock*

Don't worry, the safety's on. Now.

*reaches around Chris and helps him aim the gun at the dartboard across the bar*

Have you ever held guns before?

Pretty good, pretty good. Mind if I join you?

Hey, Rex. How was shopping

Good, Shift, got the stuff I needed for .... well the thing.

*Sits next to Kitty and places an arm around her, joining her in a cuddle.*

rolleyes Superheroes...Kiddo, during the War, Hitler used the Spear of Destiny to keep all of the super-types from joining the battle. Know what that meant? It meant that Private Dogtag was the guy on the front line battling for the freedom of the world, that's what it meant! It meant that ordinary soldiers from all of the Allied countries had to pick up arms and march out there to save their families from the Axis.

*goes into a little bit of a reverie for a moment*

Anyway, my point is that even a normal guy has power and responsibility. And this gun is the absolute definition of that. You have the power to destroy, and the responsibility to protect.

*lets go of the gun, leaving it in Chris's hands*

I'm not saying you should click off the safety here and start wailing away on a target. I'm saying that you should feel the weight in your hand right there and realize that you're not powerless.

Huh, that's easy. Kitty's "married" to Rex, Selina's flirting with Shift, and Melaka and Big Red are gettin' hot and heavy. It's enough to make a girl jealous, that's what it is.

*Glowers.*

I do, however, feel an urge shoot in his direction....

You're only a psycho if you let yourself lose sight of the responsibility.

I haven't seen Inque 'round these parts in a good old while. And I think Kitty broke up with Jaeger months ago.
