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)

Chloe was enjoying this. She was finally getting into this game a lot more, and that fact was kind of nice, since it felt like she'd finally found something better to do with all of those skills than actually throwing knives.

She stalked through the course, moving as stealthy as possible, her black shirt and dark pants blending in well. Her aim was much more confident and she seemed to just be enjoying a little bit of competition. Admittedly, she was starting to get a bit more competitive these days, trying to show off here and there. She never got mad during the lost rounds, but there was definitely a sense of determination as she tried to do the absolute best each time.

E)
Between rounds, it was easier to calm and relax. She was building up a light sweat the more into the night she got and she grinned openly, waving to anyone who wanted to come over, a water bottle in hand. Red or blue, she'd happily speak with anyone, caring little about team designations. It was just a game, after all, right?

F)
At the end of the game, she finally settled down for some pizza. The last offers weren't the best, but playing on a full stomach was never fun. With her food in hand, she lingered a little, making sure if anyone needed someone to walk back with. It was, after all, a little late and not everyone might have rides. For those, she'd be happy to go back to the bus stop on foot with.

Or perhaps someone wanted to give her a ride?

Tatsuo was peaking through a cut-out in one of the walls when he spotted Chloe. He couldn't see who it was, just that their targets were showing up as blue. Ducking back down, he quietly worked his way through the maze toward the opposing team member. Using the mental map he'd built in his head, Tatsuo figured they'd encounter each other in about fifteen seconds, provided the blue player didn't decide to randomly turn around.

Whatever combat skill she had acquired, it had not included a gift for seeing in the dark or perceiving things that others could not. Chloe wasn't immediately aware of him, until almost the last second. Had she heard something?

Pulling her gun up into a ready position, she paused and crouched, glancing around with a bit of nerves, though her lips still turned in a smile.

Counting down in his head, Tatsuo kept his eyes peeled for the blue player. Just as he turned a corner, he spotted someone with blue targets and squeezed the trigger on his laser gun. But did he see them first or did they seem him first?
true_noir: (Excuse me?)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-05-24 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
She caught the movement as Tatsuo rounded corner, but as it happened, it was a fraction too late. Her gun twisted around while she tried to fire, but her aim was a little off just as she got struck. Hitting the wall, she laughed. In the distance, the horn sounded to let them know the round had ended.

"Well well, Blue can't win every round, now can we?" she said, grinning. "Good shot, by the way."

[personal profile] thisloveisjustice 2017-05-25 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Tatsuo might have let out a small "yes!" as he saw the count on his gun go up. As the horn sounded, he relaxed and gave Chloe a grin, now that he could see who he'd just fired at better.

"Heh, thanks. Would you believe this is my first time playing laser tag?"
true_noir: (I prefer smirking smugly to smiling hone)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-05-25 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"I would," she said, winking at him as she rested the pistol on her shoulder and grinned at Tatsuo. "It's only really my second or third time myself. Some people are just a natural at this sort of thing, in the end."

"Well, it takes good hand-eye coordination. We've both got that."

Granted, they came by it different ways.

"This is rather fun. I might have to see if I can drag any of my coworkers out for a session."
true_noir: (Cloak5)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-05-25 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely different ways. "It might not be a terrible idea. It is not so good for actual shooting practice," she admitted, leaning against a wall and relaxing there. "No recoil, after all, but it is a nice bit of stress relief."

"And the sight is off by a lot. Try to use it like you would a real gun and you're off by about three inches." Tatsuo tapped the 'barrel' of the laser gun against his leg. "But it's not like many of the guys would have their license. I think we have the option to carry, if we pass the same test as the officers. But most just don't bother."
true_noir: (Cloak20)

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-05-26 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hmmm, that would explain the problems I had in the first round," she said, shaking her head. "And I suppose that we do, but there isn't a lot of need most days to carry. It isn't as if we're being threatened."

...that, and throwing knives didn't qualify as regulated weapons apparently, even if you were carrying almost twenty of them on your person. Course, getting through TSA was another matter.

"Yeah, one of the guys on my team pointed it out. Takes a little getting used to, but once you know it's there..." In other words, it's not hard to compensate.

And then the reset buzzer sounds.

"Time for the next round. Care to wager on who can get the shot off first this time?"

[personal profile] true_noir 2017-05-27 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
She chuckled when he said that, diving quickly from the spot that she'd been in with a sommersaulting roll to put herself behind one of the nearby structures. As the last buzzer began to sound with the final countdown coming.

"I am not much of a wagering soul, Tatsuo, but to be sporting, you might want to get behind something. I am much harder to catch when I know you are there."
thisloveisjustice: (cheerful)

[personal profile] thisloveisjustice 2017-05-27 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
He gives her a small salute with his laser gun.

"Bring it."

He turns and heads back the way he came originally. There's a fork after a few turns, and by the time the lights lower and the start buzzer sounds, he's headed down one of the paths. The room is not so big they won't bump into each other eventually.
