Pandora caught a flash of panic cross his features, and her lips twisted up into the barest hint of a smile. Aha! "I dunno," she replied, as if it wasn't a matter she particularly cared about. "You remind me of something."

Sariel forced a small smile, but it quickly faded due to the fact that he was still thinking that this was the second time in two hours that someone had suspected him. Well, that other guy, he definitely wasn't just a human. It's possible she's the same. He thought, finally replying to what the girl had said.
"Is that so?" Sariel said, crossing one of his feet over the other.

"Mm," she replied in the affirmative, giving a nod of her head. "Are you sure we haven't met before?" Strange… his answers are vague. They don't give away much..

"I can't say we have, not unless you've just seen someone very similar," Sariel answered, not really sure how much to say anymore. "Or maybe you've just seen me around, I'm not difficult to notice." He added, keeping his voice as level as possible. I've really got to get better at dealing with people asking me these questions.

"Yeah, I guess," she muttered, disappointed that he hadn't caved in yet. "What's your name?"

"Oh, it's Sariel, what's yours?" He asked, relieved that the subject had changed when it did. From the front of the store, crashes could be heard as the displays toppled over.

Sariel. The name, however odd, didn't ring any bells. Pandora barely flinched at the loud crashes, too focused on trying to figure out who this man was. "I'm Pandora. Nice to meet you."

Aria shook away any thoughts of the morning, standing up. She had a class to teach. She walked out the door, plastering a smirk on her face.

Sariel nodded once, "It's nice to meet you too," he said, having been taking steps backward every few minutes. My apartment is going to be a wreck when I get home. He thought, smiling down miserably at one of the tiles on the floor.

Standing in between the tinted glass half walls with her hands on the short counter in front of her, Sinon looked at the case that was sat in front of her. It was the same case that was in front of all of the other people in the brightly lit and echoey room. Around fifteen feet in front of her and the glass box that she was in, were targets laid out in accordance to which booths were being occupied. Hopefully they get here soon, Sinon thought, glancing around.
There were one to two instructors per group, who were explaining things she could not hear. In places like this, she didn't have to wear her hair down or bring a hat to cover her ears, since earbuds and headphones were mandatory, with Sinon choosing to wear the latter.

(Also, I have extremely limited knowledge of guns and things of the sort. Just putting that out there!)

(Same here, however, a gun range was all I could think of)

"Okay! Let's get started!" Aria yelled, clapping her hands so she could get everyone's attention. When she had it, he quickly explained her instructions again before walking them to the different booths. One woman caught her eye, she gave off a presence that only someone who has been around magic has.

Turning around to listen to the brief set of instructions her group had been given, Sinon returned to one of the booths and gazed at the case that was laid out on the counter. Am I supposed to open this now…? She wondered, trying to sneak glances at the people around her. A few of them had opened the cases and were taking out the gun that was been placed inside. Deciding to do the same, Sinon found that it was a pistol without the clip -which was sitting in a spot of its own in the case- with the safety on.
Many of the people around her were eyeing the weapon, turning it over in their hands. I didn't really think they'd be heavy like this; for something so small. She thought, turning around to see what the pink haired woman was doing and whether or not she was going to tell them to begin loading and aiming.

Aria gave a smile, in her own booth. "Begin loading and start firing at any time! Make sure to keep an eye on your surroundings though." She yelled, loading her gun with expert hands and shooting at her target, the bullet ending up near, but not on the bull's eye.

James reached the café he had ended up working for to make ends meet. The pay wasn't awful, and he actually had worked his way to being one of the managers at the place. He walked into his office and sat back waiting for all the poor part-timers who always needed help figuring out how to do this or that.

Looking back down at the counter, Sinon scooped a few bullets out of the box that was near the case that the gun had come from, loading them and repeating this until the clip was full. Finally having everything set up, -after around six minutes of trying and failing to do so- she raised the gun, making sure to keep it at arm's length and fired. The first shot completely missed the target, while the second landed on the outer edges and the third nearly making it within a few inches of the center ring. Despite having on the headphones, she could still hear quite a bit of what was going on, -though most of it was just loud bangs- thanks to her unusual sense of hearing.
It could be a lot worse. She thought, raising her arms again and firing.

A reminder to @"The Althalosian" and @Desvelarse, I'll be opening your spots soon, since it's been two days since your last replies.))

If you're waiting that's fine! But they'll have to reply soon, or I'll open their spot up.))

(Sorry! Been a bit busy, i just finished exams)

Thatcher headed through an alleyway. He sighed as he approached an older looking apartment complex. It was in a messy part of the city, but it was cheap and he took what he could get.

(S'cool. Been there.)
A bald cat came up and brushed his leg, mewing softly.

Thatcher looked down at the cat. He crouched and gave it a pet. He had always been more of a cat person.

It meowed contentedly and curled happily around his legs, showing it's prominent ribs.

“Hm, hungry..” Thatcher said slowly. With a huff, he picked the cat up and walked into the apartment complex. “Lets get you some food,” he mumbled.

"Brrrp" said the cat smugly as it nuzzled his face.
