Archery Workshop #6, 6/27, Danger Shop, Afternoon

[deadly_little]

As the students enter the Danger Shop, they will find that it is set up very differently from previous sessions. However, the set-up, a rough-looking part of an old town, may seem familiar to some of the students. The scenery is entirely in black and white, as are the students themselves. Ain't technology grand?

Miho stands next to a blackboard, looking alert and almost...cheerful. Unlike in previous sessions, she has a quiver of arrows at her back and a strung bow in hand. The blackboard says, ARM YOURSELVES. The students will find that their bows are standard, but the arrows in their quivers have been modified with spongey tips soaked in red ink. Also available are white cover-alls to protect clothing, should the students so choose. Once everyone is armed and/or dressed, Miho flips the blackboard over.

DODGING AND SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
1. Get to the other end of the street without getting hit anywhere vital.
2. If you get hit somewhere vital, you are Out.
2a. I am optimistically pretending you know what constitutes 'vital.'
3. If you are not trying to the best of your ability, you are fair game for the teacher.
3a. Actually, you are fair game for the teacher no matter what.
4. If you get to the other end of the street, there are brownies.
5. Yes, your targets are one another.
6. You may pick up and use spent arrows to replenish your ammunition.
7. Good luck.

By the time the students finish reading this list, Miho will have vanished to her preferred vantage point on the roof.

Buffy is here.

Before the Exercise

Chat amongst yourselves here.

Buffy armed herself quickly, and beamed. Off course, stakes would have been better, but she understood that you weren't really to kill the others. That would be bad.

Instead of looking enthusiastic about the possibility of shooting classmates, Bel appeared tired and nervous, wishing he could be somewhere else.

Conner opted to forgo the white coveralls, because hello, red. He picked up his bow and quiver of arrows and cast a longing glance toward the brownies. He couldn't see them from here, though. "Oh, boy."

Sam was far more amused by the prospect of getting to shoot his classmates than he really should have been.

Greeeeat. Miho's out there somewhere. At least this is familiar from Detention.

Isabel picked up her bow and quiver of arrows but decided to pass on the coveralls. She studied the street trying to pick out spots with good cover.

Arming herself tentatively, Sakurazaki seems to be spending a significant amount of time reviewing the rules for the excersize today, thoughtfully. Avoiding others' arrows and getting to the other side should not be difficult at all; what was troubling her was how much was expected of them to be shooting. She frowns; the sign does a poor job of helping her, and plus, yeah. Reading English still sucked.

Normally, Molly would have had a lot of fun with today's class. But, she hadn't slept after her dream last night and was exhausted. She put on the white cover-alls and collected her archery gear.

Gwynn is excited and she recognizes the scene from when she was in detention.

Dawn pulled on a pair of coveralls, having no illusions about her dodging ability.

During the Exercise

[deadly_little]

Run, shoot at one another, hide behind cars or virtual hookers, get shot with paint-arrows. Possibly die an overly dramatic 'death.'

[demonbelthazor]

Best of your abilities, huh? Bel grinned and shimmered to the other end of the street. Voila.

Conner pelted down the street toward a dumpster, and crouched down, halfway wedged between the dumpster and the wall while he scanned for the next object he could use for shelter.

Lamppost? Bad idea. Telephone booth? Looked kind of skeezy. Oh, car. Cars were good. He ran as quietly as he could -- one useful thing Eric had taught him -- toward the car, hoping to get behind it in time. And hope nobody had a clean shot at him from a rooftop anywhere.

Parker had learned from Detention-- even zig-zagging wasn't enough here. So, she got under cover, and waited to see where Miho was shooting from before she was going to make a dash down that street.

Isabel ducked low and ran to take cover behind a car. Tess's ability to mind whammy would really be handy right about now.

Dean crouched down behind the front wheel of a parked car, taking advantage of the cover it provided.

This? Was so much better than the last time he'd had to run this guantlet. First, he was actually armed himself, although he would prefer a gun or two to the bow. And secondly, and more importantly, he wasn't dressed up like some kind of rodent.

Re: During the Exercise

Sneaking around dangerous territory in an effective and quick manner was some what of a specialty for Sakurazaki. She had concerns that the bow would be a hinderance, but it wasn't really much bigger than her nodachi really, so she discovered that it had been quite easy to manage. She moves quickly, dilligently, from one scattering of shadow to the next. Walls were her friends and it helped that she had a very impressive jump to get over obstacles. Anytime she landed somewhere, she quickly looked around, bow ready to strike any possible attackers.

Going to hight wasn't really Buffy's thing it was more Faith's, so instead she went to the gutter.

That is, she hung on the corner with the virtual hookers and had a nice conversation about knives and the shininess thereof. Those short shirts were handy, yo.

Re: During the Exercise

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn was once again sticking to shadows, happily much easier to move in the coveralls than in the...outfit...she'd been wearing last time they did this.

Re: During the Exercise

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Because Molly was so tired, she wasn't exactly quick with her reaction times today. Meaning, she was probably going to be a pretty easy target and not a big threat to anybody she shot at.

After the Exercise

[deadly_little]

At the far end of the street, there is a table set up with the promised brownies and a bucket full of cans of soda on ice. Enjoy it. You earned it.

Re: After the Exercise

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker shared the brownies with Conner and Sam, just like she'd promised. And it was good.

OOC

[deadly_little]

This is a topic very near and dear to Miho's heart, it seems. :)

If you want the ninja to take a shot an interest in your character, ping me here.
