Every now and then, Tatsuo thinks that maybe this prank has gotten slightly out of control. But then he remember how much work he and Fynn have put into it (all the hours at the public library printing page after page), and it just seems a shame to not do it at all. So here they are, at the asscrack of dawn, hoodies pulled up to cover their features, at the staff entrance to the crime lab. Hopefully, Togusa won't think to check the log-in records for the crime lab or any of the cameras... at least not right away...

Tatsuo swipes his keycard; there's a soft buzz and then the sound of the bolt retractng. Once the door shuts behind them, he leads the way through to when the crime lab connects to the police station, grabbing a handful of latex gloves from a nearby table as he passes by. He holds out a couple to Fynn as he swipes them into the station.

"Okay, we've probably got a couple hours before anyone from dayshift is even remotely likely to show up. And remember, no fingerprints."

If Tatsuo isn't standing by the counter at Deadeye, it means he's in the range showing someone how to shoot. Otherwise, he waits for someone to recognize him from the app or inquire about the gun safety class. A small gun case sits on the counter next to him, as well as two sets of safety glasses and protective earmuffs.

[prompto had read tatsuo's post on the network... and decided not to comment to it. he's learnt his lesson about anyone being able to read whatever he posted on retrospec. so, instead, he makes his way to the shooting range and looks around for the man in question.]

[he approaches, seemingly shy and looking very out of place, and taps the older man on the shoulder]

...hey, Tatsuo. Sup.

[ Kiryu's not huge on guns but he is huge on supporting his friends. And Tatsuo's a cop so he should probably learn this stuff? The yakuza definitely use guns, so it seems natural that Kiryu will end up using one eventually too. Better to know his stuff than to just randomly pick up a gun and start mis-using it. ]

Hey, Tatsuo. Can you lend me a hand?

[ He's really only used an air rifle before. Or so he thinks. ]

[Tatsuo is chatting with the girl behind the check-in desk when Prompto taps his shoulder. He turns and gives the younger man a smile when he recognizes Prompto.]

Hey Prompto. Here for my 'safety class'? Please say, yes.

[Tatsuo isn't that big on guns himself, but if he wants to get that QR code, he has to get this done. Granted, he's still trying to complete the task without 100% complying, but hopefully his work around will still count.]

Oh, hey Kaz. Yeah, what can I do to help? They didn't send you one too, did they?

[Tatsuo pokes the gun case next to him with his elbow.]

[he flusters at the easy way tatsu just asks about it without making it a fuss about him being there.]

[it's mostly from shame?? rip]

A-ah... Yeah, actually! I thought I might give it a shot-- haha, puns, huh...

[if Tatsuo knew what Prompto had been up to...]

[he does notice the way Prompto is a bit more subdued than usual though]

Hah, well, alright. Just sign this waiver here and the safety class is $5 to help cover the cost of renting the lane.

[he takes the paper with a nod, and signs up... bringing out his wallet to pay up the five buckaroos]

[he hands it all back to tatsuo]

Uhm... so, is it okay if I -- uh, brought my own gun?

[Tatsuo tucks the paperwork into a folder, then picks up the small gun case from the counter and a cardboard box of supplies from the floor.]

No, in fact that's better. That way you can continue to familiarize yourself with it.

[he tilts his head in the direction of the makeshift classroom]

We'll be back here.

[prompto can only feel blessed that tatsuo isn't asking too many questions or acting like a concerned parent. it was a good choice to come here, he thinks.]

Cool.

[he heads on over to the makeshift classroom, and as he does, from his backpack, he pulls out this guy. he doesn't hold it from the handle, but sideways, rather, not quite sure how to hold a gun, really.]

Uh... I got this recently.

[Tatsuo makes sure the door is shut firmly behind them before he takes a look at Prompto's gun.]

Whoa. That is an unusual piece. May I?

[He puts what he's carrying down on a table in the room, then he holds out his hand. He has never seen a gun like this before and he has a feeling his other-self hasn't either.]

Yeah, of course.

[prompto hands it over. if anyone would know something about a gun, it has to be tatsuo, right? so his opinion is better than anything prompto could come up with.]

Found it in my bathroom a few days ago.

Dunno where it came from, but... it feels like it's mine. You know?

[Tatsuo turns the gun over in his hands. Revolver, long barrel, very nice tooling all over it, and that finger guard. It's the size that gets Tatsuo though. It's not a small gun.]

Oh, I know.

[He hands Prompto back his gun, then fishes his keys from his pocket. He unlocks his gun case and turns it so Prompto can see what's inside, a pair of revolvers, Smith & Wesson 36.]

These were sent to me in the mail, courtesy of Retrospec.

[If Prompto looks at them, he'll see that the one on the left side of the case has the serial number filed off.]

Two? Huh, that's cool...

I'm betting Retrospec is responsible for sending this to me, too. All I know about it is its name, but other than that...

[he shuffles the gun carefully on his hands; clearly he's a bit afraid of it. he doesn't want to shoot anyone by accident]

[he looks up]

Can you help me learn how to use it? I mean, not that I'll become a criminal or anything. But, if it's mine, might as well, right?

[ Kaz looks down. This is just a piece they gave him so he could try. ]

Oh, no. Not yet, anyway.

[ A LITTLE CONCERNING, KAZ. ]

I'm not sure how to load the ammo or anything. The guy outside showed me how, but I only saw him do it once.

Oh, it has a name?

[Somehow, if any of Tatsuo's friends name their guns, he can believe it of Prompto. And probably Fynn.]

Yeah. I can show you how to use it. Better to know how to and not need to, than to need to and not know how to.

[Not yet? Yes, that is concerning Kaz. But Tatsuo doesn't comment, because everyone is dealing with these stupid memories in their own way.]

Here, join me in this lane and I'll walk you through it. What'd they give you?

'Lion Heart.'

Soon as I held it, it's almost like... I knew.

[he looks up]

So, how do I make sure I don't shoot myself in the foot by accident?

Mainly be being familiar with your firearm and knowing how it works. That, and always make sure it is pointing away from yourself and anyone else in the vicinity. When you're at the range, bring the gun empty and point the barrel down lane at all times.

[Tatsuo picks up one of his revolvers (the one from the right side of the case) and pushes the latch forward to open the cylinder. Naturally, it's not loaded.]

There should be a latch behind the cylinder that allows you to then pop it out. Most push forward, though some pull back.

[ Probably for the best, the Yakuza Secret is not one yet shared with anyone outside the yakuza... ]

Okay, uh... I think he said it was a 22? Which one is that?

Uh, that could be about anything. 22 is the size of the ammunition, of which there are more than a few different variations in the amount of gunpowder inside.

[ It's a semi-auto. A revolver would be way too ~~police-like~~ old fashioned for Kiryu. ]

Oh, I guess I always just thought of them as pistols.

[ Pistols = one ammo, revolvers = a different ammo maybe??? ]

[Alright, time for a crash course in handguns!]

Ammunition is pretty important, so it's often the first thing someone mentions when describing a gun.

What you've got there is a semi-automatic pistol, which is different from a revolver.

[Tatsuo points to where his two revolvers are sitting on the ledge.]

Both types are made for different sizes of ammo. It just depends on the model of the gun what it takes. Mine use what's called .38 Special.

Sounds complicated.

[ Also, he assumes, harder to wield. Bigger ammo, probably? Not that Kaz would have much trouble with anything, having all those muscles on him. Kaz picks up the gun and starts examining it. It does say "semi-auto" on the side, he hadn't noticed it before. ]

Is yours special somehow?
