Day After Doomsday, Thursday, Per 2

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"Welcome to your final," Hardison said. "I never got an actual report from y'all, but just listenin' to you talk made it sound like y'all were plannin' to take the fight to those things out there. Unfortunately, you're all hungry an' pretty slow, so to represent that, I'm speedin' the monsters up a bit. They're stronger'n you an' now faster'n you by a decent clip, but you're still smarter'n them, so hopefully that'll be enough to turn the tide."

What the class didn't know was that Hardison had set up a timer for the sim; if they didn't head out and start their own attack by halfway through the class period, the monsters were going to attack the dorms. Surprise! But, hey, sometimes people needed a little kick or else they'd spend all their time planning and never get around to doing.

I've loved reading this class so much, even though Alluka's not in it. Saaaaad that it's the last class!

"Okay," said Tali, who wasn't entirely comfortable about taking any kind of lead but was trying to adopt a 'what-would-Shepard-do' mindset about it. Sort of. "We need as many of us as possible involved in mounting an attack, but is there anyone who absolutely isn't comfortable with that? If so, we'll need you in a support role of some kind. We have ideas, but as far as duties go, we'd better get that figured out now."

Raven Darkholme

Re: Plan Your Attack

[tigerundercover]

"Most of our ideas involve preparing and distributing molotov cocktails," Raven admitted. "So . . . fun!"

Re: Attack of the Killer Students

[tigerundercover]

This was a "turn into a big daddy" situation if Raven ever saw one. She managed to strap a few molotovs to her person -- along with a lighter -- then strode out to lead the charge.

Weird monster things, meet the giant bone-armored drill handed diver from hell!

Re: Talk to the TA

[tigerundercover]

Before the attack, Raven was around being blue and trying not to smirk too obviously.

During the attack she . . . didn't seem to have a mouth any more.

Choose wisely.

Re: OOC

[tigerundercover]

NPC monster for Raven in the attack thread (for likely slowplay) please!

Re: Plan Your Attack

[goforthe_optics]

"Is anyone going to need a crash course in how to put them together?" Tali asked.

I'm so glad you did! If I wasn't having surgery next semester, I'd probably try running a version of it again!

RE: Re: OOC

[geniuswithasmartphone]

Can do!

RE: Re: Attack of the Killer Students

[geniuswithasmartphone]

And there were so many monster things that were all too happy to make that acquaintance. Like the one that was roaring a challenge and hurtling towards the big daddy at top speed.

Which was...really fast, yes.

Re: Attack of the Killer Students

[tigerundercover]

That would be the reason for the muffled "HOLY --" exclamation from deep inside that bone-armored diving suit. Raven jabbed out with her drill hand -- which wasn't whirring all that fast but was sharp and spinning at least a little -- and braced herself for vicious monster-thing impact.

At least she was as tall as them, currently. And weighed more! That counted for something, right?

Re: Talk to Hardison

[tigerundercover]

Raven had tucked her bag away at the start of class as usual, and towards the end of class, she went to find it again and came over to find Hardison.

With an apple.

"Thanks," she said, smiling. "This class was a lot of fun, even if you never did kill me off as an object lesson."

RE: Re: Talk to Hardison

[geniuswithasmartphone]

Hardison accepted the apple and beamed, not even bothering to play it cool. There was no way he could rein back his grin, it was impossible.

"You were way more useful to me alive than dead," he told her. "But maybe next session? I can kill you off once each class period to show the other students the downsides of each different class."
