Teamwork for Jerks, Friday

[psychoticbiotic.livejournal.com]

Class was held in the Danger Shop today, which was programmed to look like a large warehouse full of crates and boxes. After suitable time to let the students gather, the lights flickered off and the instructor's voice came over the loudspeaker. Jack herself was nowhere to be seen.

"When the lights come on, a bunch of husks are gonna show up," she intoned. "They're mean, they ain't cute, and they fall apart like wet tissue paper with a good headshot. Guns and ammo will be by the door where you came in or use whatever other powers you have. I'm watching. And I have popcorn."

"Oh, and before you wet yourselves, this is all one big sim, so don't freak that you're gonna get killed for real."

And then the lights came back on, revealing the promised husks. They groaned a bit before charging straight at the students.

Welcome to Teamwork, boys and girls. Don't worry, the teacher will explain her point later.

"I'm Alex Aaron, and I'm a senior, and I have powers over fear, which can come in handy, and I'm good in a fight, good at strategy, that kind of thing." Being War's son and all.

"Hey, Alex," Jack said. "So how does the powers over fear thing work? Can you tell what people are afraid of, or make them afraid of whatever you want, or what?"

Either way, it was both cool and a freaky as hell power to have, she thought.

"Well, I'm the god of fear and panic," Alex said with a shrug, "so it's sort of broad based. I know what you're afraid of, yeah, and I could make you really freaked out for no particular reason, or if, say, you were afraid of spiders I could make you think spiders were crawling all over you."

"Freaky," Jack said admiringly. "Not a power set I want you to let loose on me, but the stuff I'm afraid of would probably give you nightmares too."
