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)
mincingminuet: (Oh Hey)

That's good. Mine was...weirdly amicable to the whole thing. Mr. Fluffernutter is more like a dog though.

[She orders a drink of her own, just a juice, and sips at it while leaning against the counter.]

Hope you didn't get sick. And uh...sorry, if I was harsh out there.
long_live_the_queen: (are you talking about my hat)

[Conversation topic Lucy is less awkward about found!]

Does he play fetch?

[And she shrugs, staring at her water bottle like it was suddenly very interesting.]

I was being stupid.
mincingminuet: (Lighting the Way)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2017-05-29 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
He does, actually.

[She smiles and pulls out her phone, thumbing through videos.]

And no, you weren't. Shit happens, even to very smart people. It got me too.

[A pause and she holds up the phone.]

Check it out, he's totally playing fetch.

[And low and behold a gigantic, fluffy cat is chasing after a ball and bringing it right back. It's so weird...]
long_live_the_queen: (I'll be right back after I kill someone)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2017-05-30 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[...that was a very fluffy creature. Lucy's expression softens a little as she leans over to look. There's even what sort of looks like a curve at the edge of her mouth!

She's smiling, honest.
]

Fang likes chasing hairties. Sometimes he'll even bring them back.
mincingminuet: (Pirate To Be)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2017-05-30 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Penelope isn't going to doubt that!]

Yeah? He seemed like a pretty cool cat, honestly.

[Badump-tish.]

You ever done laser tag before?
long_live_the_queen: (are you talking about my hat)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2017-05-30 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lucy's expression cooled to neutral again, but her shoulders remained relaxed.]

Not really. It's like a video game, isn't it?
mincingminuet: (Yeah!)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2017-05-31 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, yeah. Except you're the one moving around. and aiming.

[No aimbots, dude!

Pen sounds pretty excited though.]
long_live_the_queen: (guess she doesn't need a nose)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2017-06-01 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm.

[Most of this did sound fun! Even if she wasn't one for team sports, she was assured it'd be dark and she didn't have to stay with others.

...the moving part, not so appealing. Her ankle was behaving for now, but it wouldn't always.
]

Are there any other rules?
mincingminuet: (Sitting)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2017-06-02 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah?

[There are always more rules.]

You're not allowed to touch anyone, so no pushing or shoving or anything. Also stay off the fences at the sides?
long_live_the_queen: (slightly less of a scowl)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2017-06-04 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[look she didn't read the instruction manual before]

Mhmm.

[She is listening, for as much as she was saying out loud. No touching was perfectly okay by her; it meant no one would be doing the same to her and she'd have less to flip out about. And no actually breaking the maze, that was obvious.

Lucy glanced up at the clock, then over at the scoreboard above the maze doors. It had most of the scores from previous games earlier in the day, along with an "Occupied" light. It was starting to flash, though; maybe it would empty soon.

mincingminuet: 22 to 79 used with permission. (Talking)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2017-06-04 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[With a nod, Penelope smiled and stepped back. There were quite a lot of people here she should probably say hi too besides Lucy, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to leave Freya's roommate alone.]

I think...we should probably find our teams and get ready, yeah?
long_live_the_queen: (guess she doesn't need a nose)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2017-06-06 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Lucy did generally benefit from supervision. It kept her from wandering away immediately, or making (too many) questionable life decisions.]

I would say 'see you soon,' but that doesn't seem very reassuring now.

[There is humor rattling around in the sulking teenaged recluse after all!]
