You barely feel yourself shudder in reality as the NerveGear captivates your senses. It shifts into the loading screen, which quickly fades - leaving you in the SBC Glocken marketplace. Dozens of players are all shifting around, doing their own thing - and it seems the game automatically selects avatars.

Someone very quickly catches your attention by shouting your ingame name - and then breaking into laughter. Very cutesy, feminine laughter - god dammit, Kimi.

Glancing over the heads up display, you become fairly acquainted with what you have:

>0 CR
>350 YEN (billing account)
>PM Makarov (9x18mm)
>3 reserve magazines (8rd)

"Come on, dipshit - I didn't expect you to be that silly when you chose that name," the woman sighs. Despite the avatar - a five foot tall redhead whom looked like she crawled out of some ecchi anime - you could easily identify the voice as Kimi's.

What do you say?

>>592604
> You're one to talk.

"You're one to talk, you look like you belong in a fucking hentai film," your retort shifts the tide as she seems like she lost her words. You chuckle under your breath.

". . . Right, fine - what do you need help with? I need to start looking for a job soon," you carry on as she adjusts what appears to be a very basic plate carrier.

"Ugh. There's this one guy, this dickhead named Cyrus. He's been giving me and my buddies a lot of trouble, and you were always good at games - I thought you could even the odds," Kimi explains. "Even if you chose a goofy-ass name like that, xxharambelivesxx."

You do find yourself interested in the game, though - glancing over your HUD once more. "Don't start making jokes about it now."

> Help her with her Cyrus problem.
> Go on your own.
> You have insufficient CR, so browsing the weapon shop is relatively worthless, and the exchange rate is 100 CR to 1 Yen.

>>592704

>>592704

>>592704
>> Help her with her Cyrus problem.

"I don't think you'd have trouble with some dipshit at level one, Kimi. I'll do it, but I need to grind and get things settled in. You know these shitty backwater MMOs - it's going to be a pain in the ass to handle things alone."

She sighs and holds off for a moment, before nodding. "I guess you're right. You know how to shoot, or no?"

"I've carried a revolver long enough to know the fundamentals and how to use a gun. I'm not used to regular handguns, but this is a single-action, right?" You glance down to the Makarov at your side, before nodding. "Yeah, I'll be fine."

"Well, good. You're a bit of a self-righteous dick, still, but it's nice to see you got your head out of your ass. How do you think you could handle grinding? Shooting some kiddies who barely know how to play the game, or traversing the caves beneath the Glocken? There aren't going to be a ton of experience jobs available at your level."

Glancing down at the Makarov a final time, you look back up at Kimi with a smirk on your face. She might be right, you are a self-righteous jackass.

"I'm pretty sure that I can handle a few kids. There an arena, or is it mostly world PvP?" You quirk your brow, resting your right hand at your side.

"World PvP. You can hit up anyone - it's a pain, though, as most guys are running around with rifles." She glances down, looking you over.

"Looks like you'll be fine, though, right? Come on, I'll lead you down."

An annoyingly long walk leads you and Kimi off of the SBC Glocken, a long walk you happen to spend right behind her. It at least allows you to size her up, in multiple ways - you at least know what heat she's packing.

"So, what level's Cyrus?" You inquire, before being cut off.

"Level five. Most of us are only level three, hence the L9A1. Not the best, but it works, right?" She shrugs her shoulders, before stopping as you step onto the sandy grounds of the wasteland beneath the SBC Glocken.

"Welcome to the wastelands. There should be some kids trying to get into the caves nearby," she reaches behind her back, drawing the Browning L9A1.

It spurs you to at least draw the PM Makarov, keeping the handgun lowered. You glance it over, flicking off the safety a few times - generally getting a feel for it.

She begins to lead you east, judging from a few of the signs you saw on board the Glocken - and eventually she grabs you by the collar and drags you behind a set of rocks.

"Three guys, roughly forty meters. You think you can take it from here? I'm not getting involved -"

"Right, because you have morals, even after all that ganking? Shiiit, looks like you're a goodie-two-shoes, now," you cut her off, glancing past the rocks.

Three guys, two toting handguns and no body armour. One seems to be higher leveled, judging from the weapon he's carrying what appears to be a. . .

. . . a fucking plasma gun.

>>592929
Put that luck to good use.
See if we can shoot one so that they knock over another one. then finish off the weaker ones.

You feel like putting eleven luck up on the board was all part of your plan at this point, and it looks like Kimi's gullible enough to believe that, as you slip the Makarov back into the leather holster, leaving it unclipped - just barely, so that you can draw it quickly.

You step out from behind the rocks, sneaking until you're within a fair range of fifteen meters, before calling out.

"Yo, you guys mind one more?!"

You keep your hands at both sides, attempting to look very . . . friendly.

Little do they know. . .

You glance off to the right as the three turn around. The bigger-looking guy, toting the plasma rifle, turns around quicker, aiming down his sights at you.

You do, however, notice a piece of scrap metal nearby. It looks thick - about an inch thick, and you decide to utilize this to your advantage.

Inhaling slowly, you hear Kimi sliding up behind a nearby rock.

You flick your wrist, quickly drawing the Makarov. It's in the heat of the moment that you twist your arm, aiming the handgun one-handedly at the nearby scrap metal.

You fire off the handgun, casing flicking out of the chamber as you turn it to fire on the two pistol-holders.

You fire two shots towards the one on the left, and the round you fired first seems to have ricocheted, catching the plasma-rifleman in the kneecap. He drops to one knee, unstable, trying to gather his bearings.

The third, however, has now leveled out his handgun, and you fire another shot into his friend on the left.

So how many revolvers are we going to bring?
How many CAN we bring?
Because I've been thinking.
If we bring a Colt SAA, then pulling out a second, a third, et cetera, will be significantly quicker than reloading, since the SAA uses a loading gate.

You flick your hand to the right, swinging the handgun over with it. It's within an instant that you fire, firing the handgun once.

The round hits the kid in the lower jaw, immediately dropping his health to one - and he slams to the floor.

You adjust your grasp, bracing with your elbow as you fire the Makarov, immediately dropping the next two with the rounds remaining in the magazine, which you drop out of instinct, fishing out another to reload.

FIGHT OVER.

> LEVEL TWO

> +2 DEX

"Holy fucking shit," you barely hear Kimi whilst she's behind the rock. In fact, you barely recognize it's her voice - turning immediately to aim down the sights of the Makarov after knocking the next magazine home.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up," she raises her hands - and you ease up.

"Holy fucking shit," you mumble, holstering the handgun. You decide to leave the holster open, turning your attention to the corpses. They'll despawn eventually, so you get right to looting what you can - including a nice little knife that you found on the guy with the plasma rifle.

All three weapons they were carrying seem to be ruined from durability damage.

It rests in your inventory.

> MODEL 1959 BAYONET :: 200 CR

"Right, uh - shit, come on. There are probably more kids in the caves, though there are some bandits in here early. Might be good to try that shit in PvE, right?" Kimi takes the lead, and you hurry along.

>>593190

We COULD try and CQC that shit, though.

Your gaze flicks around the caves, ever-on-edge as Kimi leads you along as if she was dragging you by your wrist. She did mention bandits - and you felt like that intended other players after your head, or at least some mobs to grind.

Well, judging from the round that skimmed your ear and made the gentlest tick to your health bar, there was something to kill. Kimi drops to the ground and you find yourself drawing the handgun once more and sweeping the darkened cave in front of yourself.

>>593378
You had one job to fuck up rolls and you failed at that even when you were late.

You don't manage to see the guy, but you know damn well by the second you pulled that trigger that you took something off, judging from the scream that echoed through the cave and how low that round flew. It had to be a handgun, at least, judging from how little damage you took.

> LUCK added +5 to COMBAT ROLL in it's threshold.

You glance down to Kimi, whom is laying prone right beneath you with the L9A1 at the ready. She immediately swivels left, firing off a shot that lights up the cave just barely - there are three guys in moderate gear, toting sidearms. There would've been four if she didn't get him right in the knee and he wasn't busy crying like a bitch about it. Must've been an electroshock player.

Pop, pop, pop - you fire off three rounds, centered on the guy coming from your right. Kimi goes as far as to magdump the nearest guy - missing all but one shot and attempting to reload.

You contemplate scolding her, but judgment gets the best of you. You at least wound the guy, but your magazine runs dry and they're setting up for shots. Must be dumb AI or preschoolers.

Probably both.

"Kimi, cover, now!"

You shift through your inventory within what feels like a second, drawing out the M1959 Bayonet in your left hand. You flick the knife out of it's sheath, letting the leather hit the rocky floor as you advance forwards.

Blade drawn and your knife hand utilized to level your Makarov, you advance forwards with the empty handgun at the ready.

You break off into a sprint, and given your stats aren't very shapely, manage to take a round to the thigh on your way to the centerfold guy.

You nearly trip up, but manage to even out, swinging the hand holding your Makarov into the guy's shoulder, as you lead up with the knife to grab his collar and slam him down. Shots whizz around you, and a small handful actually manage to hit you. You nearly stagger off of the kid, but he remains down as you level up your grasp on the handgun.

You drop the knife for just a second, fishing out a magazine from god knows where, slamming it home into the Makarov and yanking the slide back to ensure the round is chambered. It ejects, hitting the guy underneath you in the face.

Letting the slide rock forwards, you grasp the knife from the ground, aiming with the Makarov as their muzzle flash lights up the cave once more - three rounds striking the ground near you and one making sweet, sweet love to your abdomen.

Kimi is still tripping the fuck up with her accuracy, and you proceed to fire off a few rounds - striking one in the shoulder. With their placement, three hit the other.

Kimi still manages to hit a handful of shots, which manage to stagger their health down. One drops onto his back, unable to continue fighting, whereas you finish off the second guy with another few rounds.

BANDITO 1 HP: 17/100 (CRITICAL)
BANDITO 2 HP: 0/100 (DEAD)
CQC BANDITO HP: 55/100 (PARALYZED)

The man beneath your kneecap attempts to wriggle free, however he's not getting along very well. You lurch a bit, dropping off of him, handgun flinging to the side - knife still firmly grasped as he swings on top of you.

Kimi is busy reloading.

One is critical, one is paralyzed and one is dead, do we realy need to roll?

One external factor that I continue to roll for in combat is LUCK. It takes a threshold of 1 - 10 on a moderated roll and is effectively your crutch for distributing 100% into LUCK. The effects vary - sometimes another roll can take over from the first three, or you can have something unexpected happen. Also, >593649, who'd you steal that 3 from?

- - - - -

Whilst he's busy getting his chubby hands on your throat, you swing that knife up and get him off guard - definitely slicing a few arteries on the way and enraging the keyboard warrior within your opponent as he slumps over top you.

You shift him off of yourself, rolling over to push yourself to your feet - staggering just barely. He definitely managed to do some damage, though.

xxharambelivesxx HP: 49/100

Kimi slowly shifts to her feet, and you feel just ever slightly invigorated from the encounter.

> LEVEL THREE

You shift your attention to looting whilst Kimi, unheard in the background, frets - taking up CR before you move to collect your handgun.

"Let's. . . let's, uh, move back to the Glocken, and get you healed up. Holy shit, you're a fuckin' dumbass, man," Kimi shifts her gaze to where you came from - taking the lead on heading out.

Not wanting to be ambushed again, you holster your handgun and collect the knife sheath, before you two are on your way.

You feel like there's a question to ask, though. .

"Well, shit - ever since high school, things have been going well. I managed to get a good job and left that asshole I was with - what happened with you? You just sorta drifted away," Kimi perks her brow, but doesn't take the time to glance back.

"Iunno. Lost my job, as I said a while back. Didn't do the best on a business trip. Moved into my parents' house now that they passed, just dandy," you respond, carrying yourself with the slightest hunch. "You think that Cyrus guy is any luckier than I am?"

"Fuck no. Only managed against us because he's forcing Yen down a few guys' throats. We were outnumbered, but if you cut the head off. . ." She carries onwards; the Glocken coming into view. You weren't that far away.

". . . then everything goes into disarray. You have anything to stabilize me with?"

"No, sorry. I'll fork up a bit of CR to help you out up front, though. It doesn't seem like that handgun's helping you out any."

"It does just fine - and, shit, thanks."

"Oh, shit, yeah - you can transfer credits into yen at the Glocken. Pretty cool, huh?"

"Sounds backwater. Illegal?"

"Naaaaah." With the way she says it, it definitely sounds illegal.

Between those choices, I'll take sister any day. I'd be down for chasing after Sinon and her butt though.

"Who's "we", Kimi? You didn't mention very many friends back there," you peer out into the distance, towards the Glocken.

( >>593825 That one's really up to you guys. You wanna chase the redhead waifubait or do you want a sister figure? )

"I lead a group of guys from the school days still playing around - they decided that I know what's best going on, but it sounds like you're staying with the incentive of money for playing a game, so. . ." She smirks, glancing back at you.

"He's been paying just a bunch of chumps from the marketplace. Kind of worse than those bandits, think he has to drill some of them on how to open their inventory a lot." Kimi carries on, leading you back up to the Glocken.

"I'll loan you the assistance of a few guys, though, so you aren't taking them all on your own, if that's what you want."

"Thanks for the help - but I choose who I get, and that's final. You said that there were credit-to-Yen conversions, right? What's the rate?" You clip your holster shut as you board the Glocken behind Kimi, whom leads you to the marketplace. There's a small storefront beside it that has a red cross on it, so you take the initiative and step in. It's a medbay, at least.

"At one of the terminals, you can exchange one hundred credits into one Yen. Not the best rate, but you'll get there," she explains - notioning towards a computer in the room that seems like what she's talking about.

An NPC at the counter glances up at you, frowning - stepping around the counter with a bag at her side.

"Here, let me help with that. . ." she says, fishing out a syringe.

You just nearly flip your shit, but manage to hold your composure.

"It's a healing stimulant," Kimi comments, taking a seat on a chair not too far off.

You decide to just trust her and take the shot.

"It looks like this is your first time here, so the first one's free," the NPC comments - taking your hand and turning it over. They jab the syringe into your wrist and knock the plunger down, before yanking it out and tossing it into the nearby trashcan.

Your health bar begins to refill, eventually topping off.

> xxharambelivesxx HP: 120/120

Looks like you have a temporary HP buff.

"Thanks for coming, xxharambelivesxx! Enjoy your time aboard the Glocken," the NPC chirps - and Kimi hauls ass out of the chair and grabs you by the wrist, taking you out with her.

". . . Jesus fucking Christ --"

"Sorry, I don't like that place. Shit's buggy," she comments - and you just stare at the back of her head.

"Goddamn, you're stupid," you retaliate - before she stops by the marketplace and opens up a trade window - inserting 20,400 CR into the trade. . . alongside a healing stim syringe.

"Keeping shit from me?" You inquire, only to be met with a stare that rivals your mother's when you stole from the cookie jar, may she rest her heart.

"No. Stole it. If you get caught stealing, you get the shit beaten out of you," she comments, before you accept the trade.

"Head in and buy something, see what you can find."

You sigh, taking the initiative to head inside. You just barely hear Kimi, "I'll round up the guys!" as you step into the marketplace.

God fucking damn, the prices look steep.

It looks like there isn't much available from the common selections here at the marketplace. You at least get a good glance at what revolvers and shotguns are available, and some weapons seem to be in your price range for right now.

What do you buy?

And dear sweet anime jesus are revolvers expensive in this game.
>>594134
Your information both is and is not accurate.
You're thinking of the WWII era Nambu Type 94 pistol. Which were hilariously bad.
The Minebea (originally Shin-Chuō Industries) "New Nambu" Model 60 is a perfectly serviceable police sidearm produced starting in 1960, and still in use today. Think of it like a Japanese equivalent of an S&W Chief's Special.

>>594229
You purchase a Nambu Model 60 and a few speed loaders of .38 Special. You'll look into buying an Obrez or an M38 later, you suppose - proceeding to step outside and equip your newfound revolver. Six rounds appear in your hand as well once equipped, and you begin to defile the revolver's cylinders by slipping each round in and closing the cylinder.

The PM Makarov resides, lonely, in your inventory. The M1959 resides on your belt, and the Nambu is holstered in the Makarov's former holster.

Kimi is standing in front of a fairly-well-gathered line of eleven people, ranging from a few chicks to a number of guys.

> 1: Shotgunner
> 2 - 6: Pistolero
> 7 - 9: Sniper (MOSINS GALORE)

1, 4, 8. Three people should be enough. Maybe 11 too if someone thinks we need another person.

You notion with your free hand to the black-haired guy holding the TOZ-34 and glance down the line, notioning towards the blue-haired chick with the Mosin, and then to Kimi.

"Glasses, blue, and you, Kimi."

"What do you want to do with the rest of them, then?" Kimi inquires, whilst settling on the small squad in the game interface.

You glance over the names. The black-haired guy's name is Kyle, apparently, and the blue-haired chick's name is xXxAvalonxXx.

Son of a bitch.

If everything hits the fan, one pistol stays, the rest of you fucking swarm the house like kids on Hallowe'en when you learn someone's giving away bags of snickers," you cheerfully grin, before adjusting your revolver holster.

"Let's move, then." Kimi nods her head, and you begin to lead the warband of noobs off of the SBC Glocken, taking head of the line before Kimi could.

They don't seem very enthusiastic about some new guy taking the helm - and you do take the time to take stock of your party.

Kimi's level five, but under-equipped. Must be an agility build.

You're level three, but a lucky motherfucker.

Kyle's level two, but toting a shotgun. Might be a vitality build.

Avalon's level six, and toting a Mosin M91/31. Must have sensibility to high.

You take the time on your expedition to the hideout, with Kimi at the helm, to grind on whatever you see coming. This includes picking off players and mobs alike - you might be an asshole for this, but you've got what feels like a big job ahead of you.

Kimi has reached level six.

Avalon has reached level eight.

Kyle has reached level four.

It's not long after that you manage to reach the compound that Cyrus is holed up in. You stop up on the ridge with the snipers to get them and their cover organized, glancing over the building and getting an internal blueprint from the minimap.

It looks like it's mostly going to be internal battles, and you have either an entrance or an exit - either way is a way in or out.

The walls look to be brick, there are no windows, and there's an awful lot of doors. This is going to be hell.

You make the decision to hold Avalon back. She has a rifle built for distance - she'll do well to hold on the ridge to the south of the building. You're coming in from the north, and she'll bag anyone who comes through that doorway. At least, you hope she will.

You take Kyle and Kimi, however, and duck your way down the ridge to avoid detection this early on. Despite this, you get fairly unlucky - there are two kids toting handguns outside. One has to be a Norinco, the other maybe an M1911A1.

Despite this, it seems one of the snipers on the ridge takes keen notice and gathers her friend's attention, and both take a shot at nearly the same time.

Both rounds hit dead on point - and Kyle takes the lead in sprinting to the doorway and kicking it in, TOZ-34 up.

Kimi is momentarily dumbfounded, but quickly follows you in the rear to enter the building. You draw the Nambu, spinning the revolver as you draw it - clutching it properly.

An overturned table stands at the next door, blocking sight of who's behind it.

> Kyle: fire through the table.
> Kimi: fire through the table.

>>594666

>>594666
>> Kyle: fire through the table.

>>594666
>Ricochet with Makarov

The TOZ-34 goes off, business end quaking with twelve gauge down range, snapping the table in two and likely destroying whomever the fuck thought it'd be good cover.

You immediately take to the left, Nambu bared, and Kimi takes the right, L9A1 bared. Kyle breaks the barrel of the TOZ-34, loading another twelve gauge shell in.

Wood hits the floor, and the loud bang was enough to alert them to you. The room next is wider, evidently.

You glance to Kimi, and then back to Kyle.

> Kyle: take point - clear the room. (1d20)
> Kimi: take point - clear the room. (1d20)
> Avalon: check in.

Rolled 14, 3 = 17 (2d20)

>>594744
>> Take point - clear the room. Kimi, follow the rear. (2d20)

You pace yourself, and notion for Kyle to take rearguard and make absolutely certain that he can take over for Kimi at a moment's notice. You glance around the corner - there are a series of crates on your immediate left from the door, and you can only estimate there maybe being five guys in there judging from the startled cries of the guys beyond the crate.

Shit.

You step by the crates, raising the Nambu revolver. Kimi follows you, leaning out of the boundary of the crates rather than stepping directly out.

Just contrary to your estimation, there were seven people in the room.

You level out the revolver at your hip, and fire five times, emptying it.

All five rounds hit a target, but one guy up front takes double the .38 Special to the spine.

GRUNT: 1/100 - PARALYZED (spinal tap)
GRUNT 2: 44/100
GRUNT 3: 62/100
GRUNT 4: 70/100
GRUNT 5: 33/100
GRUNT 6: 100/100
GRUNT 7: 100/100

Kimi turns her fire onto the guys that she knows you busted into - firing off two rounds to the best of her ability.

With her help, two of them are killed as you get the reload done. Grunt 6 and Grunt 7 both level out to take shots at you.

You swing the revolver up at your hip as a bullet hits the wall behind of you. One of their guns jammed, and you glance at it. It seems like the game renders ricochets based off of a metal object - and that's when you pulled the trigger.

The round strikes Grunt 3's firearm, forcing it to discharge and strike Kimi in the right shoulder - forcing her to draw back into cover. Despite this, the round slams into the back of Grunt 7's head.

LUCK initiative wins again.

"Shit, dude - shit!" Grunt 6 exclaims, before you level out the revolver on him once more.

His buddies have since tried to leave and were picked off by Kyle, judging from the blast of the shotgun.

I-I don't think you can kneecap someone with a shotgun, it'd probably be more like blowing off the leg.

>>594985
We are Kneecapping him, not kyle

"WHERE IN THE FUCK IS CYRUS?!" You shout, likely loud enough for anyone in the building and nearby ridges to hear. The Grunt is attempting to keep his cool.

"Shit, man - shit, I'm an electroshock player, I don't know where he is -"

That's the immediate trigger for you to fire the Nambu, and the round pierces his kneecap, destroying his right leg. The game seems to register it as a critical hit, as he then proceeds to drop dead.

You hear the squadron comms start up, and you turn back to aim at the door as you hear it.

"I've got sights on our guy! He went outside for a moment and went right back in. Think he's pacin', you're gonna wanna move for that rear exit."

If you move through, there's still two three rooms left uncleared that guys could come from.

Seeing as Kimi is attempting to nurse her shoulder with a healing stim, you kneel down and lean towards her - before grasping her headset.

"Avalon, get ready to smoke that guy, alright?" You mutter into the headset.

Avalon chirps into her headset, resounding over squadron communications. You hear her rack the Mosin before her comms go quiet.

You alternate channels momentarily, "Pistol team, move in. Smoke them out."

Now that's settled, you assume, hunkering down behind the crates.

Less than a dozen people of varying bodies and hair styles (and colours) dart through, all toting some shitty handgun. . .

. . . and it's not even a moment later that you hear an excessive amount of fire.

"O-oh, shit," Avalon mumbles over comms.

"I think Cyrus has an LMG," she carries on - before squealing, after which the mic cuts off.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shiiiiiit! Yeah, fuck! He's got an LMG!" She carries on.

You begin to doubt the successes of Soviet conscripts, but realize that they had rifles, not varying handguns and revolvers.

You glance to Kimi, and ponder.

"You didn't tell me he was a strength build."

You withdraw the healing stim from your inventory. You glance over the syringe, mentally marking it for its contents - a pink liquid that honestly looks like some amalgation of iced tea, frosting, and sin.

You hand it to Kimi, before looking behind yourself, to Kyle.

"We're going after him. Tail me, keep close." You say, attempting to sound composed - despite being willing to walk into the hellhole that is a LMG fight with a revolver.

You step out of the building, adjusting your grasp on the revolver as you do so. You legitimately almost trip on the corpses. You thought you'd sent in eight people, but corpses literally cover the fucking floor.

Avalon winces into the microphone, before giving a gleeful little giggle - is she a fucking sociopath or something?

"Winged him in the jaw! He's, uhm, still going, though. I think he has VIT and STR."

"Well, here's what I've got," you comment in response, stepping out with the Nambu, Kyle close behind.

You notion for Kyle to stack up on the wall behind you, and you peek past.

Cyrus, or at least some motherfucker with a BAR, is there - and they're giving Avalon no breathing room.

You slip out another speedloader, opening the Nambu's cylinder, letting the clattering of bullet casings gather Cyrus' attention. You step out of your hiding behind the corner, knocking the speedloader down into the revolver, before tossing it aside - leaving the .38 Special rounds chambered.

With your grasp on the revolver tightening, you flick your wrist to the right - shutting the cylinder. This probably does like, a hundred durability damage, but you don't care.

You raise the Nambu Model 60. You feel the urge to scream "dicks out for Harambe", but instead pull a one-liner out of your ass.

"I love the feeling of a long, silver bullet slamming into a nice cylinder."

You pull the trigger once.

You pull the trigger twice.

You pull the trigger thrice.

You pull the trigger a fourth time.

You pull it a fifth time.

Caught off guard by your taunting, and your LUCK taking the helm, three of five rounds manage to hit Cyrus in the head.

You can almost mentally hear his health bar dropping.

The fourth round strikes him in the abdomen, and the fifth strikes the ground behind him.
