Heavens To Betsy(Ehefera/Natasha)
Tue Nov 16, 2021 10:59 pm
NATASHA | HUMANITY'S STRONGEST SOLDIER
Growing accustomed to the City of Lights was a very foreign process to Natasha Miller, who had presented a resume of what she could offer if they desired to have her. She was a protector by heart, so the idea of retiring when she could still cultivate her skills and be of use to those who required assistance was certainly out of the question.
She was confident that they would accept her within their ranks. The blue-eyed sharpshooter smiled softly as she ruminated on who she would meet if her desires come to fruition. How would she be received by the members?
Would they enjoy her presence? Would they welcome some southern' hospitality? She chuckled at the thoughts of how she could provide humorous relief and meet new friends. In the most ideal scenario, she would continue to fulfill her purpose and protect those who needed protectin' and befriend a few men and women along the way.
No doubt, with utmost certainty, was to earn their approval. Imagining a reality before it even occurs would be foolhardy at best. Within a small area that Natasha had utilized as her training ground, away from any possible place she would harm civilians, Natasha had set up a few targets she brought on her trip.
Utilizing Gunplay - her own personal spellcraft technique - she formed Casanova - a secondary bow within the shape of a Desert Eagle - and formed a few arrows from the bountiful abundance of reishi in the atmosphere, compressing each of them into the shape of a bullet before launching a few of them at the targets. With no home to settle in and only a hotel stay, a little training would do her body nicely.

It had been a pretty eventful day to say the least. Ehefra had just finished going through some scouting reports and was looking forward to just enjoying a bit of ....free time in the training area. It was actually a little hard to squeeze in time for her own betterment and ....admittedly she did feel a bit anxious. After all, the time may come where she had to be involved in an operation, it always paid to be prepared. AS of late she'd been slipping and so she had made some time, FINALLY, to get down here.
Adjusting her uniform, Ehefra couldn't help but let out a slow......Sighhhhhh of relief when she finally stepped through that doorway. A little pleased smile crossing her lips, as if she'd passed the threshold where paperwork and logsitics could peel her away again. It was then that the sound of the discharging weapon jolted her out of her thoughts. Her brows raising for a moment when she turned and spotted an unfamiliar woman. Well....unfamiliar at first. She seemed to be a new. Her eyes followed the weapon to the target she was firing at and she made her way over. A pause as Beep floated out of her bag and promptly showed a little screen. Scrolliong through the roster until finally Ehefra made it stop, eyeing the ID picture, and then looking to the woman at the firing range.
"Miss Natasha?" She spoke up, hoping that she had the right name as she approached the blonde woman. She certainly was on the .... 'pretty' side of things. Ehefra felt a slight tinge of self-consciousness before reminding herself she was here to improve. Get your head together dammit.

Natasha would hear a female voice calling out to her, turning to face Ehefera as she approached her. Deciding to momentarily pause her training session for the time being, she reabsorbed the reishi that composed her Casanova into her palm. Gazing at the woman with pristine focus, Natasha found the woman to be rather cute in terms of her overall appearance.
Her aura seemed pleasant enough to hold a conversation and the blue-eyed sharpshooter welcomed the opportunity to form a bond with someone who, hopefully, if she found her position and place here, would be a comrade and possibly a friend? It was time to wield a new weapon during this engagement - southern charm and her welcomingly cordial nature.
"Heya there, darlin'. Don't worry about formalities with me. Natasha's plenty fine. If ya' fancy somethin' that rolls off the tongue real nice like, Nat works just as fine, too," she'd finish with a playful tinge in her voice before gazing into her eyes.
"May I have the name of the lovely ole' lady who has chosen to grace me with her presence~?"

A pause, surprise written on her face as the blonde promptly seemed to shift into .......country speak? It sounded american to be sure, and she wasn't very familiar with it, but she still put on a .....nervous smile as the woman seemed to promptly confirm her identity and make her introduction. Did she just call her lovely? A look of sheer confusion crossed Ehefra's features, wondering why the blonde would make such an egregious error on her part. Ehefra had seen the files of the various Vandenreich members. On her own? Certainly. But HERE? The word 'lovely' seemed almost insincere.
"My name is Ehefra Kleinmund. It's a pleasure to meet you." She responded, cutting into that air of familiarity by keeping hers strictly professional, even if her voice did shake a little, clearly ......startled by just how familiar Natasha seemed to be. "I hope I'm not intruding. I was hoping to get a bit of practice in. Do you mind if I join you?" She asked, gesturing toward the targets.

"Of course you can, darlin. If anythin' a trainin partner would be pretty nice," Natasha would reply, a playful wistfulness in her tone as she redirected her gaze towards the targets once again. She had set them up for personal use but the idea of having a training partner for the day could be a blessing in disguise. It gave her a chance to interact with an established member and form a connection of some sort. She walked over to realign the targets before standing beside Ehefera, a soft smile gracing her lovely features as she held her hand out, executing the same spellcraft technique as the Desert Eagle - composed of reishi - formed within her hand once more.
"Well, then, let's begin, shall we~?"

Ehefra raised a brow, entirely unsure as to what it was that was throwing her off about this woman. Her attention shifted to the firearm, wondering briefly if this was a unique bow or some other spellcraft at work. Her attention shifted to the targets themselves and she paused, taking a moment to form her own special bow. A Ring-like band of ditigtal coding that burst to life around her wrist, barcodes and ones and zeroes taking form as the ring slid back, cocking past her wrist before sliding back up to resr around her knuckles, as if cocking a shotgun.
She focused, and in her mind, invisibly so far as NAtasha was concerned, she began to work on a code, a simple AI program, before promptly loading that program into her bow itself. Pre-prepping the AI program. Though from Natasha's point of View, the band simply turned from brilliant blue to green. "Alright, lets get some targets....." She hummed, making her way out onto the firing range, Beeps floating out hovering to apply the Script to each of the targets. They were simple things, spiritually reinforced to endure arrows from Vandenreich members. which meant that she could apply her coding to them. Once she had gone down the line of trgets, she promptly jogged back to Natasha, a big grin on her face before a secondary bow formed in her free hand. This one was just a simple longbow.
"Alright, you ready?" She asked, grinning just a little. As at that point, the targets all began to detach themselves from where they were anchored, and began to move around the training area. Some of them slowly listing in one particular back and forth path, others weaving in little patterns, and one particularly small target zoomed around and wove through the others. Almost like some sort of game.
Ehefra herself focused, collecting reishi into a simple arrow into a notched position, glancing at her blonde companion, waiting for them to take up a similar ready stance. Beep floating above them, displaying 000 above each of their heads. A little competition to help things along!

Beholding the unique spectacle that unfolded before her eyes, Natasha whistled with a hint of awe clearly discernable in her voice. Following the woman's movements with her eye, she gazed at Ehefera as she reinforced each of the targets. The blue-eyed sharpshooter was amused by her handiwork as her Ehefera returned, a soft grin on her face as the targets begin to uproot themselves from where they were planted, moving around in multitudinous patterns. A game of target practice, huh?
An exhilarating prospect that made the idea of Natasha's simple target practice pale in comparison. The alternate shapes and patterns of the targets along with the counter projected above their heads caused Natasha's blue eyes to gleam with an azure glow.
Choosing her weapon of choice, Ehefera pointed her longbow forward as she prepared herself. Natasha stroked her chin softly, ruminating on the most optimal weapon suitable for target practice.
For now, she supposed Casanova would do the job quite well given her profound accuracy with firearms. If not, she would shift to another weapon in her spellcraft repertoire to gain the lead. Gazing at Ehefera, she smiled as she settled into a firing position, closing one eye to enhance her overall focus.
"Ready as I'll ever be, darlin'."

Ehefra smiled, pleased to say the least when she noticed the vigor that was coursing through Natasha after being presented with a challenge. She herself focused on the targets themselves. And....true...if she REALLY wanted to, she could just use her preprogrammed AI to just have her arrows auto-track onto the targets themselves. However, the contest-like atmosphere was primarily to motivate Natasha. She herself was focused on bettering herself. A soft crackle of reishi collected, from her cross into the warm glow of her longbow as she sighted one of the slower moving targets. She fired three times in succession, each one a sharp punctuation of an arrow crackling through the air before zipping either into the target or slicing past. She was using normal arrows to challenge herself, and so she tensed as those bolts flew close, but only one of them managed to even clip the target.
She slowed herself down, even as no doubt Natasha would start blasting like Frank Reynolds, Ehefra herself took her time. Following the targets and watching them for their speed, firing off lonebolts rather than barrages that she was usually capable of. Focusing not on trying to be fancy and hit the head, but simply aiming for center mass, the dull blue glow of her arrows slowly beginning to hit the targets more and more consistently as she adjusted to the speed of the target itself and the steady motion. It was definitely one of the easier targets, but she soon was hitting it VERY precisely, each hard CRACK of an arrow slicing into it's chest, not even bothering to show off with any head shots. Each hit pinging another point.
She couldn't help but wonder if she would be able to shoot at another person like this. Her rational mind told her that was an inevitability, especially if she actually was deployed somewhere. But she still wondered. At the very least she could just...program her golems to fight for her. But still, it was a question she couldn't help but worry about. All the same, she cast a glance to the side to check on Natasha, to see how she was faring against the menagerie of targets.

Natasha momentarily opened her other eye to playfully peek at Ehfera and analyze the woman as she launched her volley of reishi arrows from the longbow, firing all three in rapid succession, with most of the arrows reaching their target successfully and others slicing past, if only barely. For her first time watching Ehefera in action - at least with basic arrows - Natasha found her marksmanship quite impressive.
As she gazed at the woman silently, she could not help but wonder what other abilities she had to offer as a member of the Vandenreich. Natasha smirked softly, her adrenaline rising as she welcomed the challenge presented before her very eyes. Focusing her azure gaze on the targets, Aiming Casanovan in forwarding motion, Natasha formed seven arrows, compressing each of them into the shape of a bullet.
Loading the chamber, Natasha fired seven bullets, each moving at a precise angle and speed, randomly hitting - with ideal accuracy - most of the targets she desired to aim at, playfully showing off her accuracy as a sharpshooter by firing at the targets that were smaller in nature and therefore more difficult to land a direct hit. She formed another set of arrows while she directed her gaze towards Ehefera. Perhaps she'd play around with another weapon in her spellcraft repertoire, too. To Natasha, it was a fun competition to get an idea of how Ehefera could perform in combat and display her own skills before her fellow peer.

Ehefra's awareness shifted slightly, causing a few of her shots to slow down as she made note that Natasha didn't seem to be firing as much. She looked over her shoulder in time to see the blonde woman looking directly at her. She set her jaw and raised a brow. Those previous assumptions rising up a bit before she cleared her throat. "You're going to lose if you Don't focus on your goals." She pointed out firmly, managing to repress the instinct to sneer just a little. IT was......unsightly to let out after all. She was trying to focus and this fucking blonde YANK was looking right at her? What a fucking noob.
Cmon Ehef, that's the old you. She frowned, reminding herself that those days were behind her. She was a fellow quincy right? So long as she kept a professional fistance everything would be fine. All the same she .....soemhow.....wanted to perhaps....jar this woman out of staring at her. Not that she'd blame them for doing so. All the same, she set her expression, focusing as she GREATLY ramped up her reishi intake. Suddenly rather than those singular careful shots, bundles of arrows formed and simultaneously began to fire! A blur of thin shafts beginning to spray from her bow. Her accuracy rating no doubt would drop tremendously, but then again this was scoring based on hits, not hit rate. Even though SO many arrows went wide, there was also a SLEW of hits that began to register. Mostly small point targets, but all of those hits began to tally up.
Shik.
She winced, some of the incoming Reish slicing her fingers as she took it in a bit too quickly. She activated her blut, refocusing as she felt a dull ache in her head. It wasn't too impressive all things considered, not compared to other members, but at the very least it would hopefully jar Natasha from looking at her, right?
