Hunting 101 - Class 4 (Wednesday period 7)

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

When the students entered the Danger Shop, they found themselves standing on the side of a deserted highway at night time.



John was leaning against the same black car from the last time. "Welcome to Lone Pine Highway. The one mile stretch beginning just past that curve has had an inordinate amount of disappearances, going back decades. There have also been stories, told by people who've travelled this highway, about seeing a dark sinister figure on a black horse. Some of the stories go so far as to talk about the figure galloping after them brandishing a sword. Digging deeper into the area's local folklore, you would find a tale of a highwayman hung on a tree somewhere along this road back in Colonial times. His bones are said to be buried among the roots of the tree.

"Your assignment is to lay this ghost to rest without getting yourselves killed or injured." He looked around at the gathered students seriously. "Unlike the last ghost you faced, this one is very aggressive and dangerous and will attack you on sight. Keep that in mind and act accordingly.

"Also unlike last week, I'm allowing you to decide how to group yourselves in going after this ghost. You can pair up with whom you will, or even go in groups of three or four, or if you're feeling particularly brave -- or foolhardy -- you can attempt this alone. Although," John smiled slightly, "I wouldn't reccomend the latter.

"You'll find a large assortment of weapons and equipment in the trunk of this car; when you have chosen your group, choose what you think you'll need to defend yourselves and get the job done."

John leaned back against the hood of the car with a grin. "If there are no questions, you may begin when ready."

Pick a partner or group

Then choose your weapons and equipment from the trunk. All the items that were provided last time are in there as well as a wide variety of weapons, including any that were mentioned in class last week.

Blair listened to the lecture and then looked over the contents of the trunk. Figuring out the best weapon for the job, he reached for it before snatching his hand back. Gun-toting wasn't exactly normal behavior.

Instead, he stood back and looked around casually, really hoping that he wasn't going to have hug somebody to prove a point.

"Did it bite you?" Luna asked as she began to study the trunkinated objects.

Oh look, someone who knows Blair!

John looked at all the shinies!!! weapons, judging which would be the best to take to have maximum potency and minimum encumbrance.

Shotgun. Salt. Machete.

Perhaps a partner or a group.

Liz looked over the weapons as she waited for someone who wanted be partners with her.

Edward rooted around the trunk for a bit. Partners? He wasn't good with this whole 'team' thing. He looked around after securing some lengths of iron.

Tannim looked around for a possible partner.

Parker started picking out her equipment-- shotgun, salt, and road flares as well as her lighter-- and checked around for a partner.

Hunt down the ghost

Mel threw her pack over her shoulder and smirked at Chris. "Coffee? Seriously. You need a better pickup line."

Figuring the emphisis of this class was on the firearms work they had done last week, Neil wasn't interested in having a partner. He wasn't going to carry or use a gun himself and the last thing he wanted was another teenager around him with a gun.

So, loading up a bag with salt, a lighter, lighter fluid, a flashlight, he then showed that he had at least paid attention, from afar to last weeks class and he carefully dismantled a couple shot gun shells to get to the iron buckshot and the rock salt within.

Using new casings -sans the powder cap- Neil fashioned makeshift slings to allow him to throw the iron and salt at the ghost in a wide pattern spray. Finally grabbing a shovel and an extra flashlight, Neil headed off to find the old bones.

Tannim limped (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/1393983.html?thread=62994495#t62994495) down the road, crowbar in hand.

Luna began to walk down the road, slowly so not to out walk Blair.

Parker kept the flashlight on the ground in front of them, hoping not to trip, and kept the gun in the crook of her arm. The wind blew the tops of the trees, and she shivered. "Yes, I love the outdoors, why do you ask?"

John gathered his kit together. "You ready?" he said to Setsuna.

Dick was walking down the road slowly, gripping an iron poker in his hand not dirty. He was looking up at the trees, trying to find one that looked like it could be used for a hanging back in the day.

Sokka strode down the road, exuding a confidence he really didn't feel. It... was starting to get creepy. Really creepy.

"We're gonna kill this thing," he said to Liz.

Talk to John

Re: Talk to John

Mel approached John holding a book on firearms that she checked out of the library. "Yo. Teach. Got a question for you on this whole shotgun thing."
