MINGLE: LASER TAG ARENA

[stealshinies]

[Being from Ancient Egypt and all that, seeing the dark, neon-lite laser tag room is enough to make him stumble back in awe. On the wall are vests with a sensor above the heart, as well as a set of guns.

Just beside that is a set of rules that Bakura sure as hell can't read:

EACH PLAYER TAKES ONE VEST AND ITS CORRESPONDING GUN.
DO NOT COVER UP THE SENSOR ON THE VEST.
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME IS TO HIT THE TARGET ON OTHER PLAYERS' VESTS.
WHEN YOU ARE HIT, YOUR GUN WILL TURN OFF.
THE LAST PLAYER STANDING WINS!

Needless to say, he just takes a gun and decides to explore the room.]

((ooc: decided to intro one of the new rooms that I added last week (I'll also add these specifics to the setting page). Anyway, play laser tag with each other, tag around, and have fun! Feel free to handwave your character re-entering the game if you want to keep playing after they've already lost once.

Also, feel free to be a big fat cheater and not play by the rules, if that's how your character rolls! That's the fun of RP, isn't it?))

[Woo, first one in- mysterious missing gun notwithstanding. Is someone trying to dual wield? That's cheating!

She'll just have a quick look around in the dark...]

[onethirdthesoul]

[Vest equipped, the most Ryou could do was tie his hair up before he wandered skeptically into the darkness.

...It's then that he realizes the Ring makes it impossible for him to sneak properly. Sigh.]

[roadroller]

[that jingle of the ring's spindles is a little too familiar. Ryou's like a cat with a bell! Rin on the other hand is better equipped to sneak, although since her vest glows a faint yellow she's still a little visible. But that's why she's going to duck behind a maze wall and creep up on him while following the sound. She could just shoot him, but that'd be too easy... so instead she pokes him in the back with her gun and whispers]

Stick em' up, Ryou-kun~

[onethirdthesoul]

[While Rin was trying to be quiet, Ryou instantly gave away their position.]

Eeyaah! [He jumps back and turns to face her, all red and flustered as he raises his hands. Oh no, he lost already...!]

[stealshinies]

[Bakura's parked his rear up on one of the high walls so he has a somewhat bird's eye view of the arena below. It's dark enough that even then, he's relatively well hidden and able to pick at his strange looking gun.

Even stranger was this room: lots of walls, but none really lead anywhere. It was just wall after wall.]

[moderndaydragon]

[Unfortunately for Bakura, Karasu is smart enough to look up, and when she sees him, she almost thinks it's too good to be true.

...and then she sees he's not wearing a vest. Sigh.

Just gonna check around to make sure no one's coming up, then knock on the wall she'd been creeping along to avoid his notice.]

That's cheating, you know.

[stealshinies]

[Bakura's eyes widen just slightly as he's startled by the knock. It's the only evidence of his surprise as he looks down and sees a familiar face.

He grins at her.]

Hoh? I thought you'd went and died, Karasu! And wouldn't I have to be playing a game to cheat? H-heh heh.

[moderndaydragon]

I'm not killed that easily.

[It's supposed to be a joke, but she realizes that it's true half-way through, so it comes out as mostly serious.]

You've got the gun, you're in the room, so wh--

[...Right.]

You don't know what laser tag is, do you?

[onethirdthesoul]

[Ryou really did want to play! But as soon as he stepped into the room he noticed that his white hair was practically glowing. He was a bright beacon of light in the darkness! ...Just what he didn't want to be right now.

Sighing, he slips on the vest regardless and takes his gun. Physical games like this usually weren't his thing, but all this involves is running around and aiming. It could be fun!]

[noisycircus]

[On the one hand, Coco is so colorful it's hard not to see her even in the dark. On the other hand, she can fly, and is pretty fast. Good luck hitting her!]

[otakon_geek]

[Laser tag? Hell yes! Hal hadn't played this game in a very long time. Not since he was a small kid and he loved it. Otacon looked down at his vest and held his laser gun aloft, looking for targets, as he entered the arena.

He knew that Snake would probably be better at sneaking and shooting than him but what the hell? He was here now and was looking to try and stay alive.]

something tells me this icon is too ominous for the subject matter

[cutandtake]

{ Did you say Snake? Well, he technically used to be Snake. Hope you were expecting a cyborg ninja to try and sneak up on you, stalking, waiting for his chance to fire... }

Re: It's an awesome icon, none the less.

[otakon_geek]

[Otacon has no idea you are closing in on him, Raiden. The engineer steps from one cover to the next, letting his eyes dart about in the dim light. He can hardly see and nearly tripped on a nearby cable dangling about.]

Damn! [He hissed to himself and regained his composure. He wasn't cut out for this stealth and shoot game. Sitting behind a computer was much easier.]

[liquid_serpent]

[Liquid smirked, as he kept his laser gun close to his body. His vest untouched by any laser bullets of yet. He wasn't going to get shot because that would be too easy. This guy had seen his fair share of war and his reflexes and IQ weren't to be trifled with. Nor was his ego.

The blond soldier carefully stepped into the dim light, his eyes adjusting to the dark. Not unlike his brother in his approach through the maze of walls and corridors.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Oh look at that everyone, it's an extremely easy target. That's what you get for wearing a white tunic all the time.

However, Saft's a little worried about this either way. She already had one very odd experience with guns in the Campus. She hasn't realized that laser guns are actually quite harmless so she won't be trying to shoot anyone - not just yet anyway.]

[stealshinies]

H-heh heh...

[Bakura slinks over the nearest wall and sits down, his legs hanging over the edge as he swings them idly.]

Now what are you doing with a thing like that?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...Bakura?

[It sure sounds like him, but he looks different somehow.]

I'm not sure... everyone else was getting involved so I thought it was maybe mandatory.

[fluffydeathdealer]

[An extremely easy target for a man who's wearing Malik's dark-purple robes, hood and all. Nearly invisible in the odd lighting here, Bakura simply watches her movements, waits for her to come within range and makes his move. Stepping out into sight, he lifts the gun and points it right at her. His finger tenses on the trigger, aiming and firing.

Better move fast, Saft, if you don't want to be taken out too soon...]

[chicken_fox]

[Roy read the rules and used a laser gun to shoot the sensors on all the other vests in the prepping area. Uhh... Okay. He put a vest on himself and begin to explore around like the soldier he was. So this was like training without real bullets? Campbell could get used to this.]

[moderndaydragon]

[Lasertaglasertaglasertaglasertaglasertaglasertageeeeeeeeeeee

Karasu's smart enough to go actually grab a dark-colored hoodie to pull up and tuck her hair into, so spotting her that way sure won't be easy. Which is why she's trying to sneak around like some sort of assassin thief, looking for people to catch off-guard and from behind.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[White hair was a common problem in this place. Bakura had thought it over for a moment before returning to the dorms and re-entering the game carrying something dark over his arm.

The vest wasn't meant to be covered up, but like hell he was going to be that obvious; instead, he put the vest on first, before he casually put Malik's dark purple Ghoul's robe on and draw the hood over his hair. He had to tuck it in first, gathering it up, but before long he was quite well disguised beneath the hooded cape. It was a little long though, annoyingly so. The hem was close to tripping him, with Malik being just that little bit taller than him.

Like this, he isn't even remotely recognizable...]

[moderndaydragon]

[Not recognizable at all, but Karasu does recognize that robe. Malik is playing?

...and cheating, apparently. So don't mind her as she creeps up on you, Bakura... and pushes the gun into your back.]

That's cheating, Malik-kun~.

[cutandtake]

{ He might be in his new, shiny cyborg body, but don't think he's lost his skills with a gun. His steps are slow and calculated, ready to pull the trigger at a moment's notice or dodge out of the way. Raiden could be cheating and use that cloth over his eye, but nah...

Where's the fun in that? }

[jack_theripper]

[Raiden entered the arena holding his laser gun. It had been a while since he'd used a gun but he wasn't that rusty. He still knew how to aim and fire with precision. He just imagined it was like holding his Socom before when he was younger. Yet, the bullets would not kill.

He ducked and dived behind cover in the inky blackness. His cyborg eyesight found the darkness to be no problem now, as his vision was much improved. Being able to see in the dark had it's advantages. He ducked to cover and then spotted movement ahead. He held his gun at his chest, as he walked closer softly. What he saw caused him to gasp slightly. He was looking at himself. Was it his double, the one he met on arrival? He narrowed his eyes and felt odd pointing a laser gun at his doppelganger. He pressed the trigger and wondered if the laser would actually hit.]

[cutandtake]

{ One of the advantages of being a cyborg ninja were his ninja reflexes, allowing him to turn in the direction of the laser gun being pointed at him. Unfortunately, that split second of shock at noticing someone who looked just like him didn't give him enough of a reaction time to avoid his doppelganger's shot. By the time Raiden pulled the trigger on his own gun in retaliation for the hit it was too late. There was a low, harsh curse under his breath as he shifted his body, gun being held upward akin to a certain idle stance some time ago. }

Not used to being overcome so easily... Guess I'm out of practice with handguns.
