fandomhigh | Everything's A Weapon, Wednesday, Period 3

Last week, the teachers had gone and shown how amazingly responsible they were by offering to supervise their students in case they wanted to be idiots and run around killing deer and alots around this island. This week, Reno and Cindy had something far safer, but probably just about equally responsible in mind.

Which the students probably should have realized the moment their instructors armed them with squeaky hammers, mouse ears, and maps and then marched them across the causeway into Disneyland.

"Yo, Rookies!" Reno's demeanor was just about as easygoing as usual, with the added benefit of a pair of mouse ears perched on top of his head and a squeaky hammer in the shape of Goofy's face slung over one shoulder. "Today, we thought we'd put your knowledge to the test in another real-world scenario, yo!"

Did he look like he was trying to keep from cracking up, at that? Must be your imagination.

“Behold,” Cindy said, dramatically pointing towards the entrance. “Disneyland! Home of dreams and joy and imagination. Also crowds, loud children, and overpriced marketing!” Hey, she was a ~~DC character~~ Fable. She was allowed to crack on Disney and what they’d done to her story if she wanted. That’s why she wasn’t wearing a stupid hat, either. “We have armed you thusly to go forth and do battle.” She looked over the class, armed with their squeaky hammers and armored with more mouse ears and nearly had to wipe away a tear.

Holding in that much laughter was hard.

“You all look very brave and very fierce,” she assured them. “Your targets will surely tremble before you. As for those targets...” She pointed through the gates to where a pretty young woman in a frilly blue dress was simpering at a crowd of little girls. “You’re going after the costumed mascots of Disney.”

"Big Bad Wolf, Donald Duck, all them princesses and fairies and cut-an'-paste princes," Reno agreed, not even bothering to hide his smirk, now. "Any one of 'em is fair game in there, yo. All you gotta do is wind up an' give 'em a good thwack with the hammer," he demonstrated by turning to Cindy and giving her a nice, harmless bonk on the shoulder.

There was a squeak.

"An' then you gotta dodge security, yo."

“Now’s an excellent time to practice your skills in stealth, blending, hiding in plain sight, and, when all else fails, running like hell," Cindy said. "You’re also going to want to scout out your target before going in: the size of the crowd around them, presence of security guards, and bulkiness of their costumes are all going to impact how successful you are at completing your assignment like so.” And that was a squeaky hammer aimed squarely at Reno’s hip. Squeak! “Open air rides and rides that go very high are excellent resources for getting a view of the park,” she added, wearing her most virtuous expression.

Like you’ve been given mouse ears to wear.

It’s very enlightening! Don’t you feel edified for having heard it?

If you ask your teachers, they'll just smile and tell you that's exactly what they were doing on that rollercoaster, there. Way more effective than plowing through crowds, right?

Or, well, squeak. Any one of the mascots in the park is game for a squeak-attack. And if they're wearing big enough heads on those costumes there, they might not even notice. They might try to hug you, instead of calling security.

You've executed your attack, and now park security is on your trail! Lose them in the crowd, or on one of the rides, or in a restaurant or a parade or--

You know what, just enjoy yourselves if you manage to lose the guards. You've got the whole theme park right there, after all. Why waste that?

Though if you wanted to attack more mascots, your teachers won't stop you.

Who are being completely responsible and mature and who are not at all hunting one another around the park to sneak-attack each other with squeaky hammers.

Don't forget to meta those mascots who have been characters in the game- Belle, Lumiere, Ariel, Hades, Jim, Tinkerbell, and so on. The classic Disney mascots are fair game- Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy, etc. And just use your better judgment from there. :)

When not either dodging Reno's attacks or hunting him down to surprise his with a squeaky hammer to the face, Cindy was keeping an eye out for that annoying princess who was meant to be her.

Bippidy-boppity this.

Dude. She LOVED her teachers!

Right, the princesses were first. Not while a little girl was watching. But the second they were gone, Sleeping Beauty was getting it with a vengeance.

Reno made certain to mull around near the park's main security office so that he could eavesdrop on the security reports. Just in-case any of his students happened to be shit at staying scarce and they needed a save.

Or a good taunting. Which he would be certain to get to around sneak-attacks on Cindy when he figured she wasn't paying attention.
