How To Get By In A Hostile World, Thursday

[suitably_heroic]

"Hey, class," Atton greeted lightly. "Welcome back to the world of the not-giant-murder-lizards. Now, last week went perfectly smoothly, for which I'm grateful. But what if it hadn't?"

He gestured at the jungle in the Danger Shop behind him.

"Somewhere in these woods are four giant dino-dragons," he said. (He knew perfectly well what the right word was. He just wasn't using it.) "They want to eat you. Some of the areas have fences, but you can only get in those if you find the right computer terminal to open up the doors and sneak in. There's some buildings; you'll find weapons in there, too. Which you're going to need, because all you're getting from me--"

He slapped some tasers down on the table and finished, "Is this."

He nodded at the class. "Your purpose is to either escape the sim to somewhere behind the fences, or kill all the dino-whatsits. Your call."

And with that, he hit a button. Music began to play.

Darkness fell.

Grab a Taser/A Friend/Just Plain Prepare

For all your preparing needs.

Isabela looked far too cheerful about this as she tried to figure out how a taser worked.

This would end well.

"Here!" Jalian grabbed one and showed her, then shrugged. "I prefer my knives, though."

Mara did not look impressed at all with the taser. "How big a range does this have anyway?" she muttered. "I don't want to be close to them."

The Park

[suitably_heroic]

It's a lot spookier when it's dark and there's only a few actual lamps here and there, isn't it?

Occasionally you can hear a dinosaur roaring... somewhere outside.

Hopefully not too close to you. But it could be.

Jalian could see very well in the dark, thank you. She was going to find a very tall tree and climb it - hopefully she'd get perspective on where the creatures were.

Computer Terminal

[suitably_heroic]

It's hidden in a small, locked building hidden... somewhere near the fence. You might have to search for it. There's minimal encryption on the terminal itself, but the dinosaurs are also fond of roaming in this general area, so you'll have to be quick.

Of course, you can also try to strong-arm the fence, but that might make life a little harder, considering that means the dinosaurs will be able to come after you and the sim won't end and your version of the sim will spin off from everyone else's, leaving you alone, and oops did we say 'hidden fail state'?

The Armory

[suitably_heroic]

Right on the other side of the area is a large compound, hidden away under the trees. The door is broken, so you can't hide out here, but you will find your fair share of weapons in here.

Problem: it's also on the far side of the area compared to where you started.

Go Hunting

[suitably_heroic]

Of course, if you're properly armed, or otherwise sure of your abilities, you can just go looking for the dinosaurs yourself to take them out.

You're Safe! Or Dead

[suitably_heroic]

Safe or dead? Safe or dead.

Talk to the Teacher

[suitably_heroic]

He's recording this and preparing to send it to the school board when they're done.

Just as a warning. Y'know, in case they have more plans to send these kids to go see accidents waiting to happen.

OOC

Now I've got the theme tune of that game stuck in my head again.
