Teamwork and Tactics, 3rd Period - Friday

[worstofalltime.livejournal.com]

Class met up in the danger shop rather than a classroom. It had been programmed into a warehouse with enough levels and things to hide behind for practice combat. Which, you know, might have been for a reason.

Just saying.

"Welcome to Teamwork and Tactics," Washington said, eyeing his class critically from behind the helmet. So, it mostly just looked like he was glancing in their general direction. "Some of you I've had before, but some of you are new. I'm Agent Washington and I'll be your teacher. First order of business will be laps. Five laps around the room."

No, he wasn't kidding about that. Sorry kids, it was leg day now.

Only once the laps were done with did Wash bring out some nice armor in either red or blue for the students to put on and collection of paintball guns for them to choose from.

"Today you'll be working in teams to try and eliminate your opponents. The teams are based off the color of the armor you chose and you'll receive coordinating colored ammo as well." A beat. "Please don't shoot yourselves with the paintballs. The armor will protect your from most damage, but you will still feel it and it will still sting. Once the exercise is complete, we'll have introductions."

Because practical experience was much more fun!

"Tell me about it. It's really not flattering at all, is it?" Tali was just sticking to her usual headgear for this, because what was she going to do, put another helmet on over it? "I wonder if he'd let us get away with at least accessorizing a little bit . . ."

"It couldn't hurt to ask," Mara mused. "What's the worst that could happen?"

So many laps, Mara. SO MANY.

"Well, he could always make us run some more," Tali said thoughtfully. "Which is no fun but at least we'd get some exercise out of it."

She might regret that second statement eventually.

"And then we could look cuter as we ran!"

No, Mara.

". . . sure. I mean, why not?"

So much side-eye from behind that helmet, Mara. So much.

Can't blame a girl for trying! She was decades from being stuffed into a catsuit.

"Now what kind of cute are we talking about?" she asked.

Tali tapped at her arm, sharply enough to make a ping sound off the armor. "Probably not the kind that relies on a sexy belt and some color coordinating, I'm guessing, but you've probably got more options there than I do."

Stupid immune system.

Mara tilted her head. "Methane breather?"
