Nepeta: Encourage your friends to shoot each other.

[rogueofheart]

[BACKDATED TO MID-OCTOBER]

[Time to get this show on the road!

Nepeta had given the date and time to everyone that had signed up, with another last minute filter to anyone 15 and under of where the meetup would take place, including a hand-drawn map.

The building itself is hard to distinguish from any other business in town aside from the wooden sign: A picture of a laser pack and gun, and even that looks rather fitting for their surroundings.

Inside is a whole other story.

The walls are dark and there's almost a dungeon-like feel, but bright lights are spreckled about the massive room as energetic music plays overhead. Behind a big, vault-like door is the battlefield; an endless maze of walls and ramps and black lights, perfect for hiding from the enemy or staking out prey.



They'll have to wait to be suited up before being unleashed, of course, and they must promise to abide by the Player's Code of Conduct. That part is optional, of course.



Now Nepeta is standing half outside of the building, keeping an eye out for anyone that signed up to play. She'll flag them down if she sees them, and let everyone mingle and meet before they start to play. Better to get to know the competition before it begins!]



(ooc: You don't have to have signed up to join in! If your kid is 15 or younger and they're not tagged in, feel free to tag them in and join the fun. :3 This entry is backdated to when everyone was loss-free and able to play. EXTREMELY BACKTAG FRIENDLY!)

Players: Prepare.

[All that talk of teams? Out the window. This game is every player for themself! That doesn't mean you can't form alliances with people or make your own informal teams.

Take this time to meet the other players and make friends! Or size them up and try to strategize for how you will hunt them down.

There are a few arcade games to play while you wait, if you're the antisocial sort.]

[There's a wee dragon, picking up a lazer weapon and looking at it with morbid fascination. The suit doesn't fit all that well but he doesn't care.

This is obviously going to be EPIC]

[furriendly.livejournal.com]

[BRAVE LITTLE DRAGON. Nepeta makes her way toward him and gives him a thumbs up.]

You can do it! Don't even think about how much taller everyone else is. You have stealth on your side!

don't you mean "purrpare"

[psych0p0mps]

[For Aradia, it's not about winning. It's about how you play the game! She can be found sizing up the Players' Code placard while waiting for the game to begin.]

These seem ... a little extreme.

yes that too

[furriendly.livejournal.com]

[Nepeta joins Aradia and looks up at the sign with her, touching her chin.]

They probably just want everyone to be safe and not get hurt. [lowering her tone] But we can probably get away with breaking a rule or two.

It's pleasantly blue.

[Hand to chin.]

And I can handle the green. But as I said, yes, there is much blue. I approve...

[furriendly.livejournal.com]

[Whirling around because the last time they spoke about this she was CONVINCED he wasn't playing]

You came!!

[INCOMING]

<sub>[Homura's never played this game before. Either it's a western thing, or...

it's for cool kids that aren't her- er... it's... not... something found in Mitikihara, or at least not something she's noticed.

In any case, Homura will just be reading over any necessary rules, as she tries to work out what she should be doing.]</sub>

[and here's Gold, casually dressed with... war paint on his face]

The bright lights, the cheesy sounds, oh man I love it!

Players: Shoot with reckless abandon.

[furriendly.livejournal.com]

[This is it, the moment you've all been waiting for. You've been briefed on the mission: Shoot everyone in sight. After all, ammo is unlimited, and you can't REALLY hurt anyone with these lasers. You've got 30 minutes to tag as many people as you can, so you'd better make the most of your time.

The vault gate slowly opens, revealing the maze. It's dark, fog machines are on high, and loud music thumps in your ears.

A siren sounds, signaling the start of the game. Hurry up, because you've got ten seconds to disperse before your packs activate and it's every player for themself!]

Vriska: Linger.

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

[Oh, what's this? Vriska's not hurrying to be ahead of the game? She's kicking back and waiting for everyone to run ahead of her?

What is happen?]

Sollux: Plan.

[biwinning]

[Flying would seem like a cool thing to do, right? Wrong. Going over the maze-like barriers like that would make you an easier target. Floating on the other hand is a much more useful tactic, since gliding along takes up less energy instead of running and tiring yourself out. And like all those accustomed to the game of laser tag know there's a sweet spot somewhere. A place that if you find it and get into the right position, it's practically impossible to lose.

What's an easier way to win than to just sit around and snipe down opponents?]

Gold: Firing away

[billiardsplz.livejournal.com]

[after rolling off to find some cover, Gold's going to peek over his cover. Once someone gets in his sight... He's blasting away!]

John: Join in this familiar narration style, also play the game

[dupable.livejournal.com]

[ John is trying to be sneaky, and fair! Meaning no wind powers at all. This game would be a lot easier if he could fly... or maybe it would just make him a bigger target!!

Either way, he'll be sneaking around corners carefully, peering out, a deadly serious expression on his face and he hunts DUN DUN DUUUUUN. ]
