Bullet 03

[reverseptsd.livejournal.com]

[John seems more restless than usual. Where there is usually calm and self-restraint, there is now a contsant shifting and a strange sort of need, as if he can't quite decide what to do with himself. He has his gun on him and is purposely standing in an area where the zombies are common. There are two or three empty cartridges at his feet, and even as he reloads his gun he calls out]  Come on, then! What's it take to get a bit of a challenge around here? All of you can't be this easy....

[All the ruckus, of course, attracts a zombie wandering near by. Even as the thing screams and lunges, John is ready. He turns and fires. Unlike before, he doesn't aim for the head, what would be more or less a quick and painless death. Rather, he purposely hits one of the legs first, making it stagger. Then the other leg, followed by a shoulder and, finally, even as the thing continues to try and crawl closer to him, he fires one final round to the head, this one just off to the side so that half of it's brains blow out. And despite all that, he still seems antsy, needing something more]

[ooc: So John has been the recipient of a consequence that affects him, as well as those around him! I'll be PMing people to explain as they tag into the post, to keep a bit of the mystery going]

[Well. John being a bit crazy and violent isn't anything new but the steel nerves that Sherlock appreciates don't seem to be there. Now that isn't good. Sherlock stands a bit away, watching.]

A waste of ammo.

[Watson-sama's aim is clearly off because he's so anxious.]

You should try some herbal tea for your nerves.
