WHO: these guys
WHERE: laser tag arcade area
WHEN: backdated to wednesday 5/17, early evening
WHAT: time to see which one is the ultimate team at laser tagging
WARNINGS: TBD
A. CHECK-IN
[let's not kid ourselves: you're here because prompto mentioned it to you and bothered you incessantly until you accepted coming. if that's not the case, someone probably told you and you amicably agreed--because why not?]
[or, perhaps, they were short a few team members (or needed a few more people to help foot the bill) and snatched you straight up from the streets into joining their little game of laser tag.]
[either way, you're here now, and waiting for the group before you to finish their match. it's exciting and you're all trying to figure out the best way possible to divide into teams. maybe you're just assessing the situation and not really mingling? the food and drinks being sold on the side seem interesting. maybe there's a cute girl or guy in the group worth trying to impress... in any case, all's fair once they're inside the laser tag labyrinth.]
[soon enough, the teams will be called out, and each team member will be asked to sport either red or blue lit vests, being awarded a plastic (yet slightly heavy) laser gun.]
B. TEAM BLUE
[the TEAM BLUE screen reads the following names: 1) nisha, 2) penelope, 3) duo, 4) chloe, 5) alison, 6) prompto, 7) dante, 8) sora.]
[escorted to a smaller room for the team, now's the time to formulate a plan. there's five rounds to go; if the blue team can win three, they've won the match. time to strategise and work out any weaknesses the other team may have.]
C. TEAM RED
[the TEAM RED screen reads the following names: 1) arlene, 2) aria, 3) vera, 4) tatsuma, 5) tatsuo, 6) lucy, 7) noah.]
[escorted to a smaller room for the team, now's the time to formulate a plan. there's five rounds to go; if the red team can win three, they've won the match. despite being short one team member as opposed to team blue, that's not really any reason for them to have the advantage! time to strategise and work out any weaknesses the other team may have.]
D. IN THE FRAY
[the is dark but full of colour, with walls and hiding spots. each team will enter the arena from different ends of the map; it's a matter of figuring out who gets to who first, and who takes advantage of their surroundings best.]
[via the magic of RNG, the winners of each match will be as follows:
FIRST MATCH: red team wins!
SECOND MATCH: blue team wins!
THIRD MATCH: red team wins!
FOURTH MATCH: blue team wins!
FIFTH MATCH: blue team wins!
SIXTH MATCH: red team wins!
and so it seems we've come to a draw.]
[via magic of coin flipper generator, heads being red and tails being blue... the blue team wins the tie breaker match! by the skin of their teeth.]
[at least there were no lives nor money at stake (unless there was, glances at dante)]
E. INTERLUDE
[your team's ass got kicked! or, perhaps your team did the ass kicking.]
[take three minutes to sit with your team in their respective rooms and either congratulate each other, further strategise, or blame someone for your loss.]
F. GG GUYS
[the time to head home is approaching; it's late, the establishment is closing. perhaps you'll stick around to go grab some pizza or burgers on the way home, with everyone or with some specific individuals? in any case, it was a fun match! definitely something worth doing again some other time.]
(ooc: sorry for the delay! life got incredibly busy the past couple of days and i'm fighting a flighty internet connection)

OTA!
[As usual, Tatsuma's being rather quiet, but...
Today he actually looks kind of glum? And distracted, no less. Anyone who's checked Retrospec a bit earlier today may (correctly) deduce that the whole zombie memory has him feeling a bit down...]
[C]
[That said, far be it from him to bring the whole mood down. Once they're divided into teams, he begins putting on the vest and collecting his weapon in a curious way that basically broadcasts "First Time Laser Tagger."]
How do you aim...?
[D]
[A dark hood up, he braces his back against one of the walls, gun at the ready for the first sign of someone's approach. The music is loud and booming, but despite that, he does his best to listen carefully for any unexpected footsteps, looking for any moving light that shouldn't be...
It sure would be a shame if someone else has spotted him sitting around, waiting to be sniped.]
[F]
[He's in a far better mood by the end of it all, a small grin actually visible on his face again as they finally step out.]
That was a good game. The lights made it tough...
C
See the end of the barrel here? There's a little piece that sticks up. Look down the barrel toward that sight as you aim. But you'll have to be quick or they might shoot you first while you're aiming.
no subject
This is not in fact how one aims, but he's trying.]
Like this?
no subject
That's better. Though don't close your eye; keep them both open.
no subject
[He'll view it through both eyes, then! He'll also slowly pan it from side to side, aiming at various spots on the wall before lowering it again, head cocked.]
Doesn't seem very precise...
no subject
[Tatsuo hasn't looked at how accurate the sight is verses the laser and does so now. And sure enough, it's off.]
Huh, so it is. Well, it is basically just a laser inside a toy gun. There might be some higher spec ones out there, but they'd probably be too expensive to use on a rental basis.
no subject
--Kidding.]
…Aiming’s going to be tough. [H-hahaha…] I’ve never played before.
no subject
[Tatsuo tugs at the neck of his vest.]
Though these vests are kind of cumbersome.
no subject
It’s bulky… But you don’t need to be flexible to shoot at each other, right?
no subject
[Tatsuo tucks his laser gun under his arm.]
So how'd you meet Prompto?
no subject
He helps deliver my grandparents' art to and from the museum for exhibitions. When I first moved here, I helped him load everything up.
no subject
[he hasn't been to the art museum since a field trip in middle school]
no subject
[...Judging by his tone, he kind of adores his grandparents. Like, a lot.]
no subject
I imagine. Did you inherit any of their artistic talent?
no subject
It's just fun. Especially pottery.

F
Yeah, that's kinda the point. You look like you had fun though!
[as if prompto wouldn't have noticed his mood at first]
no subject
I never got to play before. [SURE WOULD BE SUCKY IF HE DRAGGED HIS TEAM DOWN MUCH but given they tied for so long he figures it's probably fine.] The team was good too.
no subject
[he likes when tatsuma smiles. sometimes it's hard to tell how the younger teen feels, since he barely communicates verbally about it, but prompto's gotten to recognise the silent cues and body language enough to know how he's feeling.]
Want something to drink? We're both sweaty like woah.
no subject
Maybe next time I'll catch you.
[Learning to aim had been an adjustment, but he's feeling a lot more confident in it after so many rounds. But as for getting drinks:]
Mm, sure.
no subject
Yeah. A sports drink will do. --oh, [as he heads towards the concession stand] I can drop you off at home if you want, too.
no subject
[It's an inevitable fact of life that's led to many "I know you'll be safe out there, but..." conversations, no matter what the specific activity of the night, followed by "but don't me stop you, have fun dear"s.
As usual, he can't help but adore his grandparents and their concern.]
no subject
Let's not make grandma worry, then. I'd hate to be the reason she can't sleep at night.
[he orders two sports drinks, paying up, and handing one of the bottles over to tatsuma soon as he's got them]
Y'want something to eat first?
no subject
Yeah. What do they have?
no subject
[an apologetic glance at the vendor, but prompto's smiling regardless]
Burger, hot dog, or chicken tenders. What's your poison?
no subject
...Hot dog.
