Please don't bite the newbie!

Just a little to the left and open!  [Sibyll announces triumphantly, standing up and pushing the door open to what should have been an unexplored ruin. Except it's not. Clearly confused, she takes a few steps into the bizarrely green courtyard. Pulling out a handgun, she looks around, clearly bewildered. Behind her, the door creaks shut and vanishes into the wall.]

Wait, no! [A little panicked, she presses her hand up against where the door used to be, tapping it lightly in an attempt to hear a hollow 'thump' that may indicate a hidden door. Not that there's any to be found.]

...Well, damn.

Okay, so what did you promise Vulpes?

[She hopes pressing the matter would result in an answer and not Boone's silence as this could potentially be a problem for her. A problem that she needs to know the severity of.]

[thumbsdown]

You're asking a lot of questions.

[It's not silence, but it's not an answer- and it's Boone's way of saying he's had enough of this conversation.]

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

A bad habit of mine.

[More like carefully cultivated habit. Still, she could tell he was entering his silent mode. Best to change the subject and try again at a later time.]

Did your rifle make it here with you? I can always use more coaching when it comes to sniping.

[thumbsdown]

Yeah.

[He turns slightly- it's right where it always is, slung over his back just incase. Makes leaning aganst a wall kind of difficult but so long as he leans more to the side it's fine.]

Don't recall offering free lessons, though.

[Not for someone he doesn't know or trust, anyway.]

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

Don't the best snipers work in pairs? You seem to be without your spotter.

[Her smile is masking her frustration with the recalcitrant soldier. She knew there was a reason they parted ways.]

[thumbsdown]

[He considers what she says, but he still isn't sure. In this place, he doesn't really need a spotter. There are no Legionaries save for one, no mutated animals... no hostiles at all. Still... what else does he have to do? He shakes his head with a resigned sigh.]

I doubt your idea of a good time is hunting wildlife, but fine.

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

Don't sell yourself so short, Boone. You know how to offer a lady a good time. Where do you want to go shooting?

[No faking anything now. Sibyll is genuinely pleased at his agreement.

She does ever so much like shooting things.]

[thumbsdown]

[He grunts and pushes off the wall, gesturing vaguely past the school building.]

Lots of wildlife around outside here. Not sure what most of the animals are but so far they seem to be good to eat.

[He'd rather risk eating an unknown animal over the lunch lady's cooking.]

Follow me. And don't wander off.

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

Does anything even look like it's from home?

[She tags along obediently. It sounds like there will be ample time for exploring later.]

[thumbsdown]

Not really. I've seen birds, that's about it. Couple of squirrels too. No geckos or scorpions here.

[Thankfully.]

No idea what the other animals are, though.

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

Good. My shotgun didn't seem to come with me.

[Her whole pack seems much lighter then it was before she got sucked into this weird place. She pauses to take inventory.]

Did this place take things from you when you got stuck here? I know I had food and water on me before I opened that door.
