"My father gave me my first gun at six...took me down to the range."
Star shook her head, anger clear on her face.
"I don't take losing like that well. Not the first time I've been out drawn, but..."
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to calm down.

[i]"Well I'm also a middle aged man and half robot. 'Course I have a natural advantage, I'm pretty much a walking hsck for duels. You're good and don't use Augs." [/i]
-
"I'm f*cking..! Gah!" Star punched a nearby wall before screaming in pain and clutching her hand. "F*cken....I'm just a child."
-
[i]"...I'm gonna go before I get shot, aight?" And with that, JT turned to walk off. He wasn't having any crazy shit. Nat might be able to put up with it, but JT knew when to take his leave. [/i]
-
"Wait...I'm sorry. I won't shoot. I don't even have a gun on me." Star followed, still holding her hand, eyes now yellow. "I just have a problem with thinking I'm a failure. I'm mad at me not you."
-
[i]"Kid that just ain't my issue. I'm a protector of the people, not a self help councillor." [/i]
-
"I-I'm not asking for help, I just...." Star sighed. "You hate me, don't you?"
-
[i]"Kid I see you the same way I see everyone else - I just don't care. So I don't hate you. Don't care about you on a personal level beyond yer safety either, but we ain't got no negative feelings here." [/i]
-
"I....That's confusing. Umm...So, you're not going to tell your daughter I did the pink eye thing and kinda flipped out and tell her I have a drinking problem, riiiight?"
-
[i]"Oh flirt with anyone else and I swear you'll have six bullets in your head by Thursday night. And I'm telling her - Wouldn't want her to get chested on by ya." [/i]
-
"C-Can I tell her instead at least? Please? And I swear I won't! I-I'll make sure not to drink outside of my ship unless I'm with her."
-
[i]"I don't give a shit about drinking, but cheatin' is a new low entirely. And the fact you're getting a moral lesson from me is odd. Go tell her, NOW." [/i]
-
"Okay! I didn't know that was considered cheating, but now I know! I'll go tell her! Just don't f*cking kill me, okay?! I'm not immortal like everyone else here..."
-
[i]"Nobody's immortal, just gotta have a big enough bullet or enough magic. And I ain't gonna kill ys." [/i]
-
"I-I'll go tell her now..." Star walked off with her head hung low to go look for Nat.
-
[spoiler]End or wanna find Nat? She's in her apartment right now if the second. [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Find. So I don't forget and have this get worse.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Kk, you go look for her. I would reply back but I really can't. And Natalie most likely will be chill, JT's just hardcore religious and thinks that's cheating lmfao. One little flirt ain't too bad, just gotta explain it. [/spoiler]
-
Star quickly found Nat's apartment and kocked on the door hesitantly. "Heeeey, Naty?"
-
[i]Nat opened it and smiled, hugging Star in greeting. "Oh, hey. Wasn't expecting you to drop by tonight." [/i]
-
"Hehe...yeah. I ran into your father when I was indulging my drinking problem at the nearby bar..." Star blurted out, hugging back.
-
[i]"So you met the family asshole? Want to come in, I have bourbon?" Nat inquired figuring she would share. [/i]
-
"Yes. Please." Star walked in, eyes still yellow as she sat down on the couch.
-
[i]Nat went to the kitchen and poured two glasses of bourbon, before joining Starcom the couch and passing her one. [/i]
-
Star wolfed down the drink and sighed. "I also flashed the pink eyes at him as a joke..." She mumbled.
-
[i]"Nice, how'd the old guy react?" Nat asked, taking a sip from her drink as she listened intently. [/i]
