Guns and Dolls

Makita is set up on the outdoor range. The RKG-41 is a bulky weapon. It's designed to survive a lot of abuse, and she's used it to beat people with before.

It also kicks like a mule. Makita's lack of expertise with the thing is pretty evident as she keeps shifting her stance trying to compensate. That and the merely mediocre aim she seems to have with the weapon.

There is an open case of 10mm ammunition on the ground nearby and an awful lot of spent shell casings around her feet. Her frown is a mixture of concentration and frustration. Too many of her shots are missing the target.

Sporting a long-sleeved black top and khaki cargo pants, with her Remington slung over one shoulder, it looks like Goldilocks has got some form of target practice in mind for today as well. The throaty rattle of automatic weapon fire draws her over to the ad hoc shooting area before she reaches the woods.

To her, as she approaches, Makita's weapon looks like a heavier version of the ubiquitous Soviet Type 4 AK-47 assault rifle. The scattered results of the gun's discharges do little to discredit the parallels, though she notes that operator error is probably playing some part in them.

She stops unobtrusively in the shade of an oak tree just short of the range, and waits for the girl to empty her current magazine before she says anything.
