"Copy." She pulls the safety, ready to fight back. While they were walking, the bullet holes came from rounds that are meant to pierce through something. They continue the trek out, in the back of her mind a worry for her friends. She scans the area and sees it clear, but there are some dropped firearms for some reason. "Tread carefully, now."

[boundwithagun]

Naoto nods at the comment, even though she hasn't dropped her guard since the first sound of gunfire. The focus is as exhausting as the actual fighting for her life is and she takes a moment there in the clear to draw a few deep breaths, releasing each one in a thin stream as she checks and double checks her blind spots before moving forward. "We don't have much further to go, thankfully"

[boundwithagun]

"I solemnly swear that these melons are all natural."

[musesplus-deactivated20140611]

"Maybe you should have clarified that first.  I’m pretty sure that Germany has at least one that’s the size of a building. Er, maybe you should look the definition up, if you’re that curious."

[boundwithagun]

"I've just looked it up using my phone, for all that I have berated others for using their phones for such purposes. It is merely a length of ground meat and seasoning. In that regard, it is certainly not the largest. I believe the Greek gyro would fall under the same classification, though the process of serving is significantly different. Still, Senpai, the size of a building? That seems impractical. Yet, so does the size of the beef bowl at Aiya. There is an abominable desire for largesse when it comes to material items that I cannot seem to come to terms with."

[robogirl191]

"Maybe because I’m here? Who knows?" She says back to the other just as those wounded survivors retreat. "Alright, the coast is clear, we must move now." She starts moving out, scanning for any possible sneak attacks, Her gun’s out of ammo, but the inner pockets of her vest has a bunch of .45 clips, and while they’re at it, she discards the empty clip, and takes one to put in her weapon.

[boundwithagun]

The gunfire dies down enough that they are able to move unimpeded for a moment, though Naoto is still careful, even sending one of her precious few rounds into the abdomen of a man who finishes reloading before the others. She isn't sure what kind of damage the girl with her has taken, but feels relatively certain that the natural properties of whatever alloy she's apparently made of are enough to prevent most damage from anything that isn't armor piercing. Still, the condition of the walls they are walking past tells her that it isn't only normal ammunition they are being targeted with. "When we reach safety, I believe I have more questions regarding your identity and why there are suddenly so many people in this area with guns which are rather difficult to procure here, particularly of the sort which they are using."

I’m changing mun face claim! So going from…

As much as I love Sakuraba Aoi? She doesn’t make any of the necessary faces needed to properly express my feelings.

Honesty hour. Nothing will be unanswered, ignored or deleted.

[musesplus-deactivated20140611]

"Not even close. Knowing Yosuke, I’m pretty sure he won’t see much of anything."

[boundwithagun]

"Senpai... I'm not certain we're discussing the same thing. Yosuke-senpai asked me to stand here and advertise the new jumbo weiner that the Junes food court has started to sell. I was originally slated to discuss the shipment of melons that was meant to arrive this morning, but there were processing delays and it seems I will get to skip that particular task. Still, I wonder at the precise definition of weiner. I have not yet been to Germany, but surely there are weiners there which dwarf the size of the ones being sold here in a mere food court."

[musesplus-deactivated20140611]

"Let’s not, actually."

[boundwithagun]

"Has Yosuke-senpai already told you all about it, then? He said it was the biggest one he's ever seen, but I wonder if he was being facetious. Surely he hasn't seen that many."

[robogirl191]

Of course she gets her part in the gunfire, shooting back at those jerks, and there’s some more coming from the street, which she greets with bullets. She was greeted back, but it’s not a big deal. Well, that’s one wave, but she’s prepared for a second one, as she has someone with her, and she’s unlike her, in a sense.

[boundwithagun]

Naoto winces as a bullet comes close enough to her collar to burn it, rushing as much as she dares with armed assailants seeming to come out of the woodwork. "What have you done to turn so many men into attempted murderers?" She says the words cautiously, wanting to be heard over the gunfire, but not located by someone street level who had somehow not pin-pointed them already. Her next shot takes out the knee of a man running toward them with his finger just starting to bend beside the trigger and she hopes they'll run out of ammo soon because she's lucky to have a single backup moon clip of cartridges at the ready, but that doesn't do much for a 5 shot revolver.

[boundwithagun]

"Ask me about my weiner."

[robogirl191]

"No problem." She scans the surroundings and the number of goons out to get them increased. This is no sudden occurrence, she thought to herself, they are out for someone, most probably herself. She sees that those visible are now on the ready. "Down!" She screamed and gets the other down on the ground as soon as it rained bullets.

[boundwithagun]

At the touch of the hand against her pushing her down, Naoto finds herself quickly turned from cautious to pissed off, even despite the sudden gunfire. Bracing her back against the wall, she tracks some of the gunfire back to the top of a building and sends a bullet in that direction. Her own targeting is a skilled operation rather unlike the spray of bullets sent their way in hopes of hitting something or, rather, someone. She spots the spray of blood as she hits her target, the shoulder of the person shooting, and readies her gun for the next shot as she keeps her body low to the ground in a crouch. A bullet to the leg is something she can live through. To the torso or the head? That would be a little more difficult. She's glad for the low light of the streetlights now that keep her pretty well masked thanks to her dark clothing. If they wanted to see her face, they could see it in the flash of her own gunfire just as she could spot them in their own now.

[robogirl191]

She follows the other, her gun ready to shoot back. She scans possible intruders, as no face she detected were familiar. The trek continues, and she scans their location and detected gunmen on the ready, they’re not who she expected. And she’s hearing footsteps from where they went “We should be careful now, I believe they are behind us.”

[boundwithagun]

The main street edges them toward a building and Naoto's eyes narrow. The safest path is one that gives them options and traffic cut off far too many for her comfort. At her companion's words, she nodded and gestured down one of the alleys that divided the block. "A straight path would expedite our removal from this situation, but the necessity for avoiding danger here seems to dictate a slightly less direct route. Please keep me apprised of your findings."

[boundwithagun]

"Okay, everyone, who wants to taste my juicy melons?"

[robogirl191]

"Sorry, I am just quite confident about some of my acquaintance, but that should not be the matter." She put down her gun but it’s still held on one hand. "Yes, I am able to move of my own will," She paused for a while, but continues anyway. "Shall we?"

[boundwithagun]

Raising one eyebrow in question of anyone else's untested competence, Naoto nodded anyway. This was not a job at the moment, merely a mission she'd undertaken. As such, the only goals were the ones she'd given herself. "I'll take point. Please keep yourself aware of the area around you, but follow me." She gestured the girl forward and readied her weapon once more as she turned, eyes scanning the horizon and darting up to the rooftops. The rapidity of the gunfire made the assailant group unlikely to have snipers as well, but it was best not to rule anything out. With that block clear to her own comfort, Naoto began to walk forward at a quick pace, eyes still moving to check new areas as they appeared in her sightline.

[boundwithagun]

"Neither of those is a situation I wish to see continue. This is not a safe area. It is best if we retreat for the moment. Are there others with you who would likewise be under attack?" Naoto pulled out her phone, sending a quick text to local police to alert them of her location within the area of the firefight and further inquiring about what was being done to track down the assailants.

[robogirl191]

"They have sought refuge, but I think they are scattered." She answered. "Nevertheless, they are safe, unless they decide to ransack said buildings."

[boundwithagun]

"Safe?" Naoto shook her head. "If there are assailants coming after you, there's no such thing as safe as long as you are where they might gain access." She checked an incoming message on her phone. "Police are inbound from the north and the gunfire is moving from west to east. We're to the south right now, so I suggest we skirt the perimeter of the block and attempt to exit toward the east. We should avoid most enemy fire that way. Are you able to move of your own will?" She still wasn't certain of the nature of her new acquaintances, but this was not an area to attempt to ascertain it.

♠:A character I desperately want to roleplay with

Other law enforcement types. Lawyers, detectives, police chiefs, etc. I am just not confident enough in my Naoto to go send her out into the world to find those people. But I really want to solve mysteries, and go target shooting, and testify in court as an expert witness, etc. as Naoto.
