Merc'ing 101: How to Make it as a Mercenary and Still Stay in One Piece, Wed 7/16

[crazypilotman.livejournal.com]

"Extortion and racketeering," sporting a pair of sunglass, Murdock wandered around the Danger Shop, arms wrapped around himself, "two of the most common tactics bad guys like to pull on innocent folks. Either they've had their families threatened or they've already tried to fight on their own and gotten worse for their troubles. Now most of the time, these kind of scumballs like to target folks who can't fight back at all." He stopped abruptly, tilted the glasses down a little and glanced at his students, "And I really don't like unfair fights." Hopefully, nobody would notice the bloodshot eyes or the small baggies under them.

Shoving the glasses back up, he started pacing the room again, "But there's always some bigger sleaze runnin' the whole show. He's the one you gotta bust, not the muscle. Cut off the head, the rest ain't gonna be able to move. So. You have to work out a plan. A plan to get the bad dudes without gettin' any of the innocents caught in the crossfire." He stopped moving once more. "It can be a lot harder than it sounds."

"Here's what we're gonna do today; you've been hired as a team," he put special emphasis on the team point, "to run these slime out. There are innocent people scattered about, but they should be out of the way. You have a limited amount of firepower, so you're gonna have to improvise with what's available. And hope your plan works."

(Just like last week, main portion of the class is in the OCD. Please feel free to bounce off each other's threads. Also, as I'm sure you already know, my availability is rather limited. Therefore, I've made the class as open as possible, so please mod away! wait for the OCD up!)

"I can do that," Bender answered. He looked around - nobody was using that stack of trash cans, were they - and started coiling the metal into something vaguely round. "You got a cannon up there?"

"I've got me, and the time-space distortion commonly known as the laws of gravity," she said cheerfully, scaling back down the ladder for more loose objects. "I figure a few nice large things aimed at their heads will be properly discouraging."

"I have bombs," Rikku offered with a chirp. "Do we need bombs for anything? Bombs rule."

Jack grinned. "Bombs are good. I've got knives covered," he said, sticking one into his boot top.

"Now..." he said, thinking watch out for the smoke! "...if only there was a way to get a big enough knife to take out a car..."

Murdock was standing off to the side, just watching and grinning.

"Don't need a big one, Jack. Just chuck at the tire when it's movin' and it'll probably go over."

"I like how you guys are thinkin'," he smirked.
