Although I am not involved in the thread, here are my two cents on the matter. Disclaimer: I hsven't read the post.

First off, you can't dodge a bullet unless you see the gun pointed at you in advance. But even then, you have no way of knowing when they would fire.

Second, wouldn't it depend on where Dirk fired and which way Annie dodged?

Edit: Okay, I just read the post. Annie dodged when she heard the shot, so she was too late to get out of the way if the shot was actually aimed at her. So it probably wouldn't have hit her at all.

That's just my opinion.

For future reference, you can't really dodge bullets unless you move immediately before they fire. But you would need to know when they are going to fire, which is impossible unless you are really good at reading and reacting to body language.

I also mentioned twice that when Annie dodges laser beams (in SR), since lasers move as fast as the speed of light (presumably?), it is impossible to dodge laser, and since the laser beams according to her depiction did not touch her, she did not have to move at all. If something moves as fast as the speed of light, and it misses you, dodging it means you moved after it already passed you, though it would still be a natural reflex to move anyways. If you YouTube the word "laser" you can see quite a few uploads showcasing homemade laser-projecting devices, which are essentially high-powered flashlights that can blind people easily. Laser that can melt or kill people often are empowered by radioactive atoms, or something like that, I'll need to do some further research about it.

OK Ancient, I will add to the RP later today. Thank-you for extra details about tomes and stuff.
