It's the same for me. I prefer to be up close and personal.
[ it is a lot easier to fight an enemy when you can see them, really. when his sight is good, he's a sharpshooting marksman. when his sight is bad, he's still good... against an unmoving target. an archery range is one thing, but not being able to feel the air move around someone and use that to aim is another.
eventually, he does make his way over, reaching for a baihu crossbow himself and picking it up. just being able to play pretend with it is. again. annoying. but that's fine. it's fine! ]
That one's powered by the same thing the armor is. That's what the gold box is - you can use it as explosives. They're usually giant ballasts mounted on ships, but the smaller versions are effective, too. [ gu yun turns the bow in his hands towards one of the targets. ] Except the supply of ziliujin is getting so low that it's pointless to have too many of them, so it's just a waste by the Ling Shu institute, at this point. Engineers just want to tinker with things for no good reason.
[ grumble...
he loads up a shot, nocks the arrow, and pulls it back, then exhales -- firing it upwards instead of directly at a target. the arrow's fast and makes a white arc of steam as it goes up and then rockets back down towards one of the targets, embedding itself deep into the padding.

I know how to fire a shot, but I wouldn't say it's my specialty. Use swords, mostly.

[ as he's loading up and pulling back on the bow - and this time, the second one goes slightly to the right. ]
Tch.
