So. How's the shooting practice coming along?

I'm getting much better at putting bullets where I intend to, but somehow keep momentarily fucking up the reload for some reason? Like I've got it, but don't have it down into a swift motion.

Yeah, that comes with practice.

[...] Just so you know though, hunting rifles aren't really great at like, close range, though. In case you're going to melee with those zombies.

I mean, I know it's none of my business but I thought it was worth mentioning.

I'm rather hefty with a baseball bat or machete, but sounds like you have some suggestion in mind?

Don't get too close to them, or use a smaller gun?

Also I'll help you practice, if you want?

okay, that makes sense. I thought there was, like, ancient gun wisdom about to be passed down.

it'd be greatly appreciated as you're a rather good teacher

No, sorry. I don't really have any of that.

All right, let me know when you're free. I'm just getting everything ready over here.

no cult. no ancient gun wisdom. I'm beginning to think y'all at Lundegaard are just regular ole people...

when my shift is over in a bit? no time like the present, eh

I'm the most boring man alive, I'm sorry.

Sounds good. Want me to come there?

the way you say it so casually has me doubt it...

sure, it'd be appreciated. I can show you our 'shooting range' which is really just a fence with a larger fence behind it so you can set shit on the smaller fence.

I work, I go home, I do it all again the next day. Boring.

Good plan. I'll see you then. I'll bring you more weapons to try out.

hmmm

fuck yea. thanks, Emmett. I'll have to figure out some way to repay you.

I don't need anything. You're out there, saving the day.

god willing or whoever is in fucking charge of this all, y'know

You'll make your own luck.

I like the sound of that.

I believe in you.

just glad you're not trying to talk me out of it, honestly. I've had enough of that so far

I know better than to tell a woman what she should and shouldn't do.

think you can spread that info around to a few of your brethren?

I can try, but they won't listen.

you tried. it's all you can do.

Yeah, unfortunately, men are dumb as shit. I can tell you that from first-hand experience.

oh, you and me both. ladies can be vicious, but men are a special sort of dumb. doesn't this make you like a gender traitor or something equally stupid, to admit such a thing?
