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.

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.

Sam was hiding as well, trying to stay down as low as he could. It helped to not have a vampire costume to deal with this time around. He peeked out past the car, just enough to see if he could spot Dean.

Re: During the Exercise

Dean scanned the street, looking for targets, but especially for his brother. Someone as tall as Sammy had to be easy to spot.

Re: During the Exercise

[likethegun]

Sam moved out a little more, to get a better look down the street, trying to figure out where Dean had gone for cover.

Re: During the Exercise

Catching movement out of the corner of his eye, Dean turned his head and spotted a very familiar shaped shadow. "The bet only counts if you shoot me yourself, Sammy!" he called out. "Not anyone else you might have set on me."

Re: During the Exercise

[likethegun]

Sam followed the sound of Dean's voice, smirking. "Hey, it's not my fault that I'm not the only one who wants to get you!"

Re: During the Exercise

"That's because everyone wants to take down the best," Dean called back, keeping his eye on Sammy's silhouette, just waiting for him to step out enough that he can get a clear shot off.

Re: During the Exercise

[likethegun]

"Or it's because everyone knows you're an easy target," Sam replied, attempting to pinpoint Dean's location based on the sound.

Re: During the Exercise

"If I was an easy target, I'd already be out, but since I'm not..."

Re: During the Exercise

[likethegun]

Sam smirked to himself. "Give me time," he said, shooting forward to head for cover behind a car that would put him in better range of Dean.

Re: During the Exercise

Dean raised his bow, but Sam had been too fast and was back under cover before he could get a bead on him. But he was closer now, so next time Dean wouldn't miss.

"That's what I have been doing, Sammy," he said. "If I wasn't you'd be out already."

Remembering her promise to Sam before class, Parker took a shot at Dean from down the street, hoping to startle him out of his cover.

Re: During the Exercise

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

An arrow hit the windshield of the car, maybe a foot above his head and Dean instinctively ducked down even lower. His eyes scanned for the shooter and finally spotted Parker down the street.

Calculating angles and distance, Dean nocked an arrow in his bow and then popped up, fired, and ducked back down again, all in one motion.

"Crap!" Dean was fast. And he got Parker on the right shoulder, too. "Damnit!"

She snarled a little, then called, "Nice shot, but I'm still alive!"

Re: During the Exercise

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Time enough to rememdy that!" Dean called back, though he stayed under cover. "You're not the one I'm really after anyway."

Re: During the Exercise

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker snickered. "That shot was courtesy of your brother, by the way!" She looked around for another victim, glancing upward again to make sure Miho at least wasn't in sight, shooting someone else.

Conner, with one red splotch on his left arm and another one on his right hip, took a running shot at Dean as he scrambled from behind the car and between two random simulated hookers on his way toward an overturned sidewalk bench.

He was much better doing the shooting-while-running thing with a laser gun than with a bow and arrow, but he hoped his aim wasn't too horribly off.

Re: During the Exercise

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

As Dean ducked back down after shooting at Parker, an arrow landed right at his feet, clipping the toe of his left boot. "Crap!" Dean muttered, though at least it wasn't a vital shot.

Re: During the Exercise

[deadly_little]

As if out of nowhere, an arrow flew at Conner from above!

Re: During the Exercise

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

The arrow tagged him square in the middle of the chest. Conner yelled and flailed his arms as he flew backwards rather exaggeratedly farther than the laws of physics would dictate and hit the ground, panicking.

"Arrow in chest! Arrow in chest! Ow!"

Okay, so it had hit him pretty much right in the sternum, but still. PANICKING HERE, BECAUSE OMGWTF ARROW IN CHEST FROM OUT OF NOWHERE.

Re: During the Exercise

[deadly_little]

Miho rolled her eyes. She didn't see what the big deal was. It wasn't a mortal wound, from her experience.

Re: During the Exercise

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner lay there blinking for a second or two longer and poked at the red splotch on his chest. His fingers hit bone.

"Oh. Huh. I guess I'm not out?"

But he would be, if he didn't get up and scramble for cover right that second.

Dawn was being extra sneaky, but that didn't mean she wasn't keeping an eye out for Dean and Sam, trying to get a surprise shot in.

Sneaking up behind him from around the corner of a nearby building, she let an arrow fly towards a bit of movement she saw next to a car.

Re: During the Exercise

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Concentrating on keeping track of where Sammy was, Dean didn't notice the other shadow behind and off to the side until an arrow brushed his sleeve as it went on to hit the side of the car.

Spinning around, he saw Dawn just as she pulled back into the shelter of the building and he raised his bow, aimed and let an arrow go at her all in one movement.

Re: During the Exercise

Dawn barely saw the arrow coming, but slid along the wall and out of the way. It hit her hand and she wiped the paint off on the wall.
