The Fifteen Labors of Fandom, Session 6, Period 1

[olympian-herc.livejournal.com]

Hercules had plans for today's class. Oh yes he did. The class was directed to meet in the Danger Shop, where again their teacher (resplendent in his 'battle toga') met them outside the door to the Shop itself.

"Greetings and salutations, fair heroes and heroines of Fandom!" he declared. "Beyond this door today is a test of mettle. A test of skill. A test of grit! That is all I will say now, for you must instead experience it yourself!"

And with that, he stepped out of the way. What possibly could lie beyond the door?

[ooc: Plz to wait for OCD! Class is up and ready!]

Karla just stopped and stared at Bobby for a moment, at least until a hail of bullets against her shield had her turning to send another blast at the teddy-bot. "No. Just...no. Really? No."

"A fictional version of me escaped from there once," Bobby shared helpfully, because that was surely going to help matters. He was, unfortunately, beginning to run out of candy-apple return fire. It really would be so much easier if he just sucked it up and used his powers, but nooooo. Someone was still sort of neurotic about the whole secret-identity thing. Shut up.

"Grab some of those darts!" Karla suggested, pointing to one of the balloon-popping games. The darts were gleaming wickedly sharp in the light. "Fictional--is this one of those things that's going to leave me wishing I'd just let the teddy bear hit me?"

The problem with being your own weapon was you didn't tend to see the ones available in your surroundings. "You know how sometimes we turn into our younger selves?" Bobby said, grabbing a handful of darts and loosing them at the bear one by one. "Like that, sorta. I've got pictures, on my phone." Because in the middle of a fight with a homicidal teddy bear robot was the best time for show and tell.

"I'm going to want to see those," Karla decided. "Ummm, after we're done getting shot at, I think?"

You know. Just saying. She wasn't the professional superhero, here, but it seemed best to wait on this.
