How To Not Do Things, Thursday, Period One

[hatesmoststuff.livejournal.com]

April figured that the best way to make up for not being in class last time they'd met was to toss a brownie at Maeby as soon as she walked in if she was here, then move on. Class was meeting in the Danger Shop today, and she'd even made an effort to program it well enough that there weren't sparks coming out of the simulations, so she thought she had more than made up for it.

Because it was laser tag, guys! Lookit the shiny laser tag course! And the shiny armor! Very advanced stuff.

"I had a whole thing about how laser tag is not doing things because hiding is good and attacking people puts you in danger," April said, "but actually the real part that's not doing things is the part where it's a game and sometimes you play hooky and do this instead. So."

She gave a shrug at that.

"Number off. Evens get pink equipment, odds get green, and pinks get a three-minute head start to go hide." Because they were saddled with pink equipment, see? "Ready? Go."

This class is getting less and less legit by the day.

Bucky looked at the armor, which was bigger than he was, and then crossed his forelegs and glared angrily at April. "Fix it."

April gave him a look. Then yanked up a piece of pink armor, pulled a strap so it was smaller, and handed it back. All while making the same look.

She hoped you were ashamed of yourself, Bucky.

Bucky kept glaring at her, without an ounce of shame. He put the armor on and managed to adjust it so that it stayed put and wasn't dragging on the floor. "Speciesist mutant apes," he grumbled. "You think you all run the world just because you... um... run the world! You're impressing my rights!"

"Really," April said, very dryly. She didn't even put in enough effort to make it sound like a question. "How awful."
