Battlefield Tactics, Thursday

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Upon arrival in the Danger Shop, the students would find that there was... nothing.

Well. In one sense of the word; there was mud beneath their feet, very sticky mud. There were what seemed to be small clumps of rocks, here and there, and further in the distance, the swaying motions of what appeared to be a tree.

But what was clearest wasn't clear at all: a dense fog, that laid over everything like a blanket.

There was also no sign of a teacher.

Look Around

Try to make sense of what's going on. Converse with your fellow students.

Leia looked around, keeping a wary eye out for the teacher and any other surprises. What was it this week with classes missing their teachers?

Re: Look Around

This wasn't foreboding at all.

Maladicta cocked her head to the side, listening for anything of note out there in the fog. Call it a left over instinct that wasn't really necessary when hunting coffee.

"Okay then," Kennedy muttered, listening to the mud squelch beneath her boots as she turned in place to take in her surroundings. "Because I needed one more spooky, foreboding landscape this week?"

At least it didn't look like the end of the world. Maybe it looked like after the end of the world, but that couldn't be as bad as the real deal, right?

Keep telling yourself that Cloud.

The first thing Karla did was take a step up, firming the air under her feet so she could walk above the mud. She'd gone running around in the woods enough to recognize the kind of terrain that would trip you up and steal your shoes.

"Well this can't be good," Dru muttered to herself.

Re: Look Around

[puppy_fair]

... Fog?

"Well," Zack sighed, "this isn't foreboding at all."

A beat, and then he was smiling, crossing his arms over his chest while he looked around. "At least nobody is going crazy this time!"

Momoko blinked and peered into the fog. She had a feeling this was going to be a very different class.

Duck!

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Suddenly, the sound of several guns firing all at once pierces the air! Quickly followed by more from the other side, somewhere off into the fog.

And then the sound of flames, the sky lighting up briefly not too far away.

Followed by more gunshots.

[[ there are no actual bullets, but the noise is quite loud. and close. ]]

Leia took cover behind some of the rocks. Fortunately she wasn't afraid of getting muddy, but she was wishing she had her blaster.

Re: Duck!

[brat-intraining.livejournal.com]

"Jesus!" Good thing she didn't care if she had to buy new clothes, because this outfit? Ruined now, with Kennedy diving immediately for cover. Getting shot at was seriously uncool.

Also not something she'd had much training in. Gah.

Re: Duck!

[eyesofahero.livejournal.com]

It was duck and roll for Cloud, until he realized they were nowhere near the fight. No reason to risk getting hit by chance...if that could happen in the Danger Shop.

Re: Duck!

[glacial_queen]

From the sound of the first shot, Karla's shields snapped into place. Doing so was a little painful, like using a muscle she'd badly overextended, but, Danger Room or not, there were guns going off.

Re: Duck!

[svetocha-blooms.livejournal.com]

Dru immediately ducked, because the first thing you did was get the hell out any potential line of fire. Then, her father's voice in her head, she started to listen and assess the situation.

Re: Duck!

[puppy_fair]

Loud and close meant that there were gunshots, also loud and close, and, while Zack knew full well that this was the Danger Shop and he was probably perfectly safe, old habits died hard. If he was unarmed, then he was going to hit the mud until he could get a better read on where the fire was coming from, and where it was headed.

...

Ew. Mud.

Re: Duck!

And that would be K-Mart diving for cover, wishing she had her shotgun and being a little cranky that she didn't.

Never mind that this wasn't actually real and the shotgun would've done her no good.

Re: Duck!

[heromaniac]

Quite forgetting the Danger Room part, Momoko had her power compact in hand as soon as she recognized the gunfire and a few seconds after Momoko had ducked behind some rocks, Blossom shot into the air to make sure no one was hurt and to try to find the source of the fire.

And As We Proceed...

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

There's some shouting, noise, flares of light, and the whole thing has generally turned into a cacaphony of noise. Then a tall, dark shadow dooms up in the fog, what appears to be claws extending in the night, ready to strike--

-- and then there's a flash of red hair.

"Welcome to Battlefield Tactics," said Kerrigan, dryly, her shape becoming clearer as some of the fog seemed to part of its own accord. "Name, rank, and just what the hell you thought you were going to do just now."

Re: And As We Proceed...

[likes_scoundrels]

"Leia Organa," Leia said. "Princess. And I wouldn't have been out on a battlefield without a weapon if I could do anything to help it."

Re: And As We Proceed...

[brat-intraining.livejournal.com]

"Kennedy." She squared her shoulders and tried to recover her composure as quickly as possible, hiding her lingering nerves behind a mostly-diffident expression. "Potential Slayer. I was going to wait it out--" yeah, that always worked so well with her-- "until it was safe to get a move on, but I generally don't expect to be in these situations unprepared. If I knew what I was in for, I'd have been armed."

It was entirely possible she'd just blustered right into the point.

Talk to Kerrigan

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

She's here. She's not looking particularly sociable, but she's here.

OOC

Half-day. Thank god.

Going to go sleep off my headache now.
