Applied Inventiontronics, Period 4 - Week 14

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

Inventiontronics was in the Danger Shop today, and the Danger Shop looked like a generic field to one side and tall-treed forest to the other.

The guys standing in the field with long black trenchcoats weren't quite so generic, and a few had a bit of shiny metal armor covering one arm. Really, they were probably very hot in those outfits. That was Glitch's general theory as to their disposition.

Glitch, who was standing somewhere about the middle, waved everyone over for a quick explanation. Or, well, as quick an explanation as Glitch could give.

"Today, well, first, your projects are due next week." He let that sink in for a second or two before continuing. "This week, though, you're going to get to learn about defending yourself. With those," he pointed to the men in the severe outfits in the field, "longcoats over there. If you don't want to fight, though, you can head into the forest and deal with the anklebiters. That's probably more evasion than it is defense, but it's good to know if someone is chasing you to get at something you've invented."

It was a loose connection, but Glitch felt it was important and repeated it once before shooing them all off.

Fight

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

They're waiting and being exceptionally patient for longcoats. Don't worry, Glitch made sure they're also exceptionally bad at hand-to-hand combat.

Re: Fight

"I don't suppose I could convince you to talk this over?" Willow asked.

Re: Fight

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

He looked at her and kinda...

...sneered.

You can get the longcoat out of the O.Z., but you can't get the attitude out of the longcoat. Or something like that. His left arm was quite shiny, though.

Sokka let out a battle cry. He didn't have his weapons on him, but he picked up some rocks and started throwing them with impressive accuracy.

Re: Fight

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

The accuracy was, in fact, impressive. One of the rocks bounced off one of their shielded arms with a bit of a clank.

He turned and ran a hand over the new little dent his arm had required before looking at Sokka and doing what was possibly a unique facial gesture used only by longcoats: it was a little bit derisive smile and a little bit sneer, yet somehow all condescension.

Re: Fight

Ooooh. They weren't bears with lasers, but she'd take it. Rikku bounced up to one of them.

"Last chance to surrender!" she chirped.

Flee

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

Not that they're making themselves known, but the Eastern Guild is sneaking about. They're good at that. They're also good at the occasional and very modable trap, though all they've got in the way of weaponry is sticks and their ferocious attire.

Liir was the type to flee. However, after several classes where he'd flown away, he decided to try the ground...

Re: After Class (4/14)

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

The ground was good. Grassy and covered in twigs.

Oh, there was also that slight rustling coming from some of the foliage that stayed closer to the ground, but it was probably nothing.

Re: Flee

[practicaldevice.livejournal.com]

Anathema was more of the flee and hide type.

Re: Flee

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

The forest was a good place to flee to. The trees were thick, but not so much so that you could get too terribly lost. Not a lot of roots sticking up from the ground to trip you, should you decide to run.

Rustling bushes.

Maybe that was just an O.Z. thing, bushes that rustled.

Re: Flee

[by137.livejournal.com]

All it took was for A.J. to remember his last sucker punch to the face to realize that he would not be sticking around and would most certainly be heading into the woods.

Re: Flee

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

The woods were waiting.

Or, well, not the woods, exactly, but more the very small and easily agitated (also, well hidden) Eastern Guilders.

Re: Flee

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac? Really not a fighter. Now was the time to hide.

Re: Flee

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

The trees were good for hiding. There were even a few well worn paths if running was absolutely necessary.

TA (4/14)

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

For talking to she who will hopefully neither fight you nor flee from you.

Re: TA (4/14)

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow would neither fight nor flee. She was too busy cuddling a wee sheep.

After Class (4/14)

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

For talking to he who is your teacher, and will definitely not fight you or flee from you.

Re: After Class (4/14)

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir made his way over to Professor Ambrose a few minutes after class.

"Hello."

Nothing serious. He just wanted to see him.

Re: After Class (4/14)

[a-no-brainer.livejournal.com]

"Hello."

He was grinning. Glitch had been keeping an eye on as much as he could, and seeing the longcoat fall over was going to be something he'd hate to forget.

Look into the teeth of madness (http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/73679912/3562444). Not too long, though, you might go mad.


Also: pings will be slow during the day as I'll be asleep. I'll wake up, though, promise.
