How to be a Hired Gun - Monday Period Three

[notasalad.livejournal.com]

Somebody at the school office had thoughtfully provided Jayne with a list of activities that he should never do with students. They had also used small words so he could easily understand them. He decided that he was going to break at least one of those rules so today he chose to smoke a cigar

Consider yourself lucky kids.

When the students entered the danger shop, they'd no doubt notice that there were multiple people on horses wearing some odd cowboy costumes in a prairie type setting.

"Right. I'm Jayne. This class is how to be a hired gun slash mercenary," Jayne announced as he took a puff from his cigar. "And the most important thing about being a hired gun is to not get shot. So. These guys are going to shoot at you and I'm going to see how fast you can run and hide."

Jayne wasn't much for complicated lectures. Or activities.

Run kids!

Face had a bad feeling about this...

Mara also had a bad feeling about this...

Loki had a bad feeling about this. Though mostly because he wished to fit in.

Oh, and has a highly attuned survival instinct.

Eleanor had a bad feeling about this. While also enjoying the adrenaline rush. That was okay, right?

Sparkle had a bad feeling about this too. Because, really, Danger Shop or not, getting shot at did not conjure up a whole shitload of great feelings. Ever. In no universe, anywhere.

He was kidding. He had to be kidding, right?

Looking around at her fellow students' "bad feeling" faces, Raven concluded he was probably not kidding.

Activity

Run! Dodge Bullets!

Safety locks are in place of course. Not that Jayne would know how to disable them.

Hey! Face had been shot at enough for one lifetime! At least when he couldn't shoot back.

So he'd be ducking, ducking like the wind!

"Keep moving!" Jayne suggested. "Don't get shot in the ass. I'm not carrying anyone to the clinic."

Re: Activity

[giveherahand]

Who used bullets any more?!

...er, Mara meant "Eek, eek, I'm being shot at!"

Being pretty tiny, she found something to hide behind and pretend like she was afraid of being hit. Mostly she looked annoyed.

Hey now! Bullets were awesome!

"Good use of terrain!" Jayne called out as he lit up another cigar.

Re: Activity

... "What the bloody-- what is it with you lot?!"

Edward was scrambling. Up a roof, in fact.

"Being shot at builds character!" Jayne shouted back with a laugh.

He was enjoying this a little too much.

Re: Activity

[abitlowkey]

Loki had found himself a safe position and had pulled out his phone to take a selfie with 'first day of school and already being shot at' added to it.

Odindamnit, Loki.

Re: Activity

"PAUSE!"

The action stopped for a second as Jayne stomped over to where Loki was sitting. "What in nánguā xiǎobiàn qī gè dìyù xuànfēng¹ did you just do?" Jayne growled.

Eleanor started running, because the man had said to run. Once her brain caught up, she realized it would be much better to teleport, and she flashed once and reappeared over behind some brush.

The brush wasn't offering that much cover, which meant she reconsidered her options and decided to teleport again -- this time, directly behind the men on horseback.

A shame she didn't have her skewer. They were seated higher than her, so that would make it difficult to run up and do any neck-snapping. And she didn't want to accidentally hurt the horses, so that meant fire was out.

The hell with it. Eleanor was going to dash up behind the closest cowboy, grab a handful of his shirt, and yank for all she was worth. With any luck, he'd fall out of the saddle. Or else be so discombobulated that she could snatch the gun right out of his hand.

"Jesus fucking Christ I hate this school!"

Yeah, of course Sparkle was running. In fact, Sparkle had pretty much figured that he only needed to run fast enough to keep his classmates between himself and the shooters while he scrambled to get to cover.

Sparkle was not too proud to be terrible, and anyway, this was a simulation, and also, screw everything.

Raven shrieked and turned into a tortoise.

Not that this would help that much, beyond making her a much smaller target. At least she could burrow into the ground?

Talk to Jayne!

Who is supervising this activity with much amusement.

Jayne will be evaluating the way you dodge bullets. Of course he'll also take bribes for better grades.

Mod being shot at or ping me here if you want interaction with the cowboys shooting at you.

Re: OOC

Are we allowed to attack the cowboys?

... no reason.
