Practical Weaponry [Wednesday, Period Four]

[doubleohblonde]

Upon entering the Danger Shop, the class would have found it set up to resemble the outskirts of a Madagascan marketplace. Bond leaned against a wall on the second story of a dilapidated building overlooking a crowd intent on betting on the outcome of some sort of animal fight. In the distance they would have been able to see a construction site.

Once the class had joined him in the building Bond began. "Good afternoon, class. Today we'll be looking at parkour, which is the art of getting from one place to another as quickly, directly, and efficiently as possible, regardless of the obstacles in your path. While this may not immediately sound like a weapon, practical or otherwise, any other skill you may learn in this class will be useless if you cannot get to or away from a given fight in time."

He nodded in the direction of the crowd. "In this exercise, you will take turns playing the role of an MI-6 agent, who along with your partner in the crowd is observing a bomb-maker with the intent to capture," Bond said, indicating a man in the crowd. The burn scars on his face made it clear which of the two he was supposed to be. "However, your partner managed to raise his suspicions and he's about to flee the scene. Given that your partner is currently trying to avoid a cobra bite, it's up to you to give chase and apprehend the bomb-maker."

"Your main tools in this exercise will be your wits and your environment, but you will also be armed with one of these." Bond held up a handgun. "This is a Walther P99. Semi-automatic handgun, nine millimetre calibre, fifteen rounds in the magazine. However, given that your objective is to capture the bomb-maker alive, you are to use it only as last resort, and if you shoot anyone who is not a direct and immediate threat, you will fail the exercise."

"So, who wants to go first?"

Listen to the Lecture - PW [Week 2]

[doubleohblonde]

Bond seemed very pleased with himself as he gave the lecture.

That's because he knew just what they were in for.

Karla took notes on the assignment, then raised her hand. "Are we allowed to use any skills we have to apprehend him, sir?" she asked.

Because airwalking would make this entire thing easier. Ditto with throwing up shields around the guy.

Dinah was both thrilled with the exercise-- one of her favorite things, chasing, yay! And apprehensive. Mr. Bond looked waaaay too happy.

Hannibal was half listening to Professor Bond and half plotting out how he could do this successfully.

This was exactly like playing tag with Cassandra, or going dancing with River. Anemone was practically bouncing in place, waiting for the signal to Go.

She'd even, actually, worn pants today, so this was going to be cake. Seriously.

Turtle wondered if sometimes the teachers really did get together and plan things like this. At least there was a silver lining: since there'd been running earlier for Mr. Dex's class, Turtle felt limber and ready for more running.

...even if she was very ew more running about it.

Jaina couldn't help frowning through the lecture. She'd just done something like this for real, and was still smarting from it.

Wait your turn - PW [Week 2]

[doubleohblonde]

Talk with your classmates, or watch the current unfortunate running through the exercise.

Re: Wait your turn - PW [Week 2]

Well, at least at this point, Arthur knew how to use a gun. He sat there waiting, experiencing a weak shadow of the emotion he felt whenever he was to join another tournament for his father.

He was Arthur fucking Pendragon, dammit. That embassy was toast.

Or someone was going to knock him unconscious again. It went either way, if you took canon to mind.

Re: Wait your turn - PW [Week 2]

Hannibal spent some time checking and re-checking his gun just to give himself something to do while he waited.

Re: Wait your turn - PW [Week 2]

Karla traced out a route while she waited. Fortunately, by watching others, she was able to figure out a few things. Like the bulldozer thingy.

Bounce. Just a little bounce. This was srs bzness.

Bounce!

Turtle used her time before her turn to stretch out and consider how best to manage this. She was little and light, and was hoping to use that to her advantage.

Leda had somehow missed the first class. She must have been sleeping off a Peca binge or her mun somehow didn't see the post something. She normally would have thought this exercise sounded like fun. But she just wasn't in an enthusiastic mood today.

CHASE THE BOMBER - PW [Week 2]

[doubleohblonde]

You can mod the chase and bomber for the most part but you won't be able to catch him until the embassy. If you get that far.

Safety protocols are on, so if you'll only harm our dignity if you do something that'd get you 'killed'.

The Marketplace - PW [Week 2]

[doubleohblonde]

The bomb-maker has left the betting area and is now running though the marketplace, heading towards the building site.

Your chase starts here.

The Building Site - PW [Week 2]

[doubleohblonde]

Man, that bomb-maker is fast, he's made it out of the marketplace, through that bit of greenery and now he's at the building site.

The Embassy - PW [Week 2]

[doubleohblonde]

Oh noes, the bomb-maker has left the building site and made it to the Nambutu Embassy. Whatever shall you do?

Behind the Embassy - PW [Week 2]

[doubleohblonde]

Congratulations, you just blew up an embassy, and killed the bomb-maker you were trying to catch.

There's now a middle-aged woman in England developing a migraine without knowing why.

HANDWAVE CHASING THE BOMBER - PW [Week 2]

[doubleohblonde]

If you'd rather skip the massive amounts of OCD threads, just say how you did here.

Talk to Bond - PW [Week 2]

[doubleohblonde]

He's enjoying watching you go through this simulation that is completely fictional and not based around any real events whatsoever, especially not ones that Bond himself was involved in, and that goes double for the part where he didn't blow up an embassy.

Re: Talk to Bond - PW [Week 2]

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"So, in this scenario, what happens when you get caught?" Dinah asked, still smarting from not being able to finish the chase. She'd had *no* ideas about what she else she was supposed to do when faced with fifteen armed guys and a barbed-wire fence. If she'd been using her powers, she would have been able to pick up two or three to throw into the others, or yank half their guns away, start a panic. Or maybe levitate her charge over the fence. But without them.... "How much trouble are you in?"

Talk to the TAs - PW [Week 2]

[doubleohblonde]

Who probably haven't blown up any embassies either.

Probably.

Re: Talk to the TAs - PW [Week 2]

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose had not blown up any embassies.

She was kinda disappointed by that now.

OOC - PW [Week 2]

WHEE ADAPTING CANON FOR CLASSES!
