Laser Tag Adventures [First Period, Thursday]

[cuff-me-once.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop was off then the class arrived, but Rick was visibly excited and already wearing his laser tag vest.

"Morning kids," he chirped, bouncing on the balls of his feet. "The class is laser tag adventures and for the newbies to my classes, I'm Rick Castle, mystery writer and laser tag player extraordinaire."

He pressed a button and a grungy blue and off-white underground train-station faded into view, as well as extra sets of vests and guns, faded into view.

"Welcome to lovely and picturesque Melbourne, Australia. One of the less picturesque parts of it though, I'm afraid. Parliment Station, one of the five stations making up what's known as the Melbourne City Loop. Think the New York subway, only much tinier, also less pee smell," he waved one hand. "Look, I'll email you all some notes later, but we all know why you picked this class, to play laser tag. We'll be having a free for all today, but introductions first. Name, class, somewhere you think'd be fun to play laser tag."

He pointed at Alex if she was there. "One more thing, the lovely Miss Russo is your TA. Use your power wisely, young minion."

Over a shoulder? Please! Mr Flexiblity here waited until he had his footing on the escalators, then turned half back and flung his firing arm out to shoot at Alex side-on as he kept side-stepping up the moving stairs.

Okay, maybe Alex had underestimated Kyle a little bit. He wasn't nearly as flexible as Kyle but he was quick so when he saw that gun come whipping around, he flattened himself on the escalators, bringing his own gun out to try and get off a few quick shots.

Alex would not advise laying down on escalators to anyone else because they weren't comfortable and he was already in a shit position because of that move. He'd either have to roll or get to his feet quick.

Thankfully for Alex, Kyle was more interested in running than shooting him while he was down. He took the opportunity to turn and leap up the escalators and bolt around the corner to one of those big blue things to take cover and wait and see if he came up.

Alex scrambled to his feet, cursing the escalators for being so unforgiving and making his knees ache before he bolted the rest of the way up and immediately ducked low to try and keep out of Kyle's line of sight.

Wherever he'd gone. He was pretty out in the open though so he stayed ducked low near the top of the escalator, using the small area at the top as cover until he figured out a better place to go.

Kyle tried to move around into a better position, but hadn't accounted for his shoes squeaking on the floor. He froze for an instant, then made a run for the next tall, blue...whatever the hell it was.

Alex allowed a split second for a grin at that little slip and shot out from his hiding place, gun already swinging around to take aim at Kyle even as he veered for one of those blue...thingamigs himself.

Not the same one Kyle was going for because that would just be awkward.

And really, they didn't need this to be any more awkward than running around pretending to shoot each other already was. Kyle stopped and listened, head tilted, to see if Alex was going to make a noise. When he thought he heard something, he held his breath and peeked out around a corner.

It just so happened that Alex did make a noise when he went to see where Kyle was. It was a stupid noise, of course, made when he went to sling his gun up and actually banged it against one of those stupid blue things.

And then he cursed. Like an idiot. And then he cursed at having cursed before. No one was going to hire him for any military help anytime soon. He just hoped he was blocked enough to make any shot hard for Kyle.
