fandomhigh | Reserves: Danger Shop, After Classes

Today, the reserves group had been told to meet in the Danger Shop, and that it would be a good idea to bring along their weapon of choice while they were at it. The usual assortment of coffee and cookies was there, along with a fairly impressive amount of Halloween candy. It was on sale after the holiday? Score!

"Heya, guys," Zack practically chirped, sword on his shoulder and a grin on his face. "Today, we thought we'd do something a little different, and pit you up against an opponent who has a bit of an advantage against you all!"

Or, rather, eight advantages against you, as your Danger Shop opponent today happens to have ten tentacles. Being a giant squid will do that.

For some reason, the tentacles thing concerned Maladicta more than she could put into words. And made her more than just a bit glad that she never wore short skirts.

"So, we hope you will all give a thought to how teamwork can make this battle go far easier for you." A beat. "And no, using someone as a human shield does not count."

Kennedy could put into words exactly why the tentacles thing was wigging her out, but hopefully you'd forgive her for not really being up to doing that today; you'd just have to deal with the distasteful look on her face expressing it for her.

"Yeah, human shields are right out, guys," she said, patting the stock of her crossbow. Note how she was opting for a ranged attack on this thing? No hentai nightmares for her, thank you very much. "But we'll give you a break and let you have a few minutes to figure out a game plan. Against these odds, that's kinda fair, right?"

"....explode?"

Alexander killed his with lightning and it still didn't explode...

"They're excitable creatures from what I hear."

"I imagine that could get rather messy," Alexander observed.

Yes, it did sound messy.

Maladicta shook her head. "Did you bite anyone else when you were... different?"

"No," Alexander said, sounding relieved. "There were a few attempts, but, thankfully, they were both thwarted. I don't suppose I was a very good vampire, but I'm very relieved for my ineptitude."

Maladicta had to pause for a moment. "Yes. Terribly inept."

There was a reason vampires were so damn easy to kill where she was from, Alexander.

"It would have made things terribly awkward," Alexander offered. "I don't think I know who the princess was, but I'm pretty sure that, er, um..." Cough. "Lady of the Night looked an awful lot like Rinoa."

"Ah, yes." Not at all awkward there. "I recall her."

"...oh?"

Considering he was usually the awkward one in these conversations, Alexander really had to ask.

"Well, I was a prince."

"That...is very true," said Alexander, frowning with uncertainty.

He wasn't sure if this was something he wanted to think more on or not...

Maladicta cleared her throat. "Ice cream later?"

She really needed to stop stealing his bit.

"The coffee kind?"

"Of course."
