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?))

Well, technically, I was one, wasn't I? If just a really, really big animal.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Yeah. I figured it was probably residual or something. I mean, your other half looked like it was going to bite my head off if I wasn't careful. But I just couldn't leave you there like that.

[It was a freaking dragon.]

[moderndaydragon]

...Yeah.

[Of course something like that would be amplified in that form... her distrust in general must have been multiplied by the instincts she felt.]

Still, I really appreciate that you helped me anyway. And on the bright side, it's healed into a pretty cool looking scar, and I've always wanted one of those.

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Jokingly:] You can have some of mine, if you like!

But it was worth it. I met you through it, after all.

[moderndaydragon]

Sorry, but I'm not willing to be incinerated by a god just to look like some badass RPG warrior. I'm not even a warrior-type, I'm a thief.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

Me too.

[Karasu, you're full of surprises today.]

[moderndaydragon]

You got for that sort of set-up in games too?

[Hey, she's not just a naive girl you're lying to. Dig a little deeper sometimes!]

I know it's probably ironic to say considering how strong the Blue-Eyes is, but I like characters that approach things with more subtlety than brute force. There's just something about cleaning out an entire area with exact shots or careful backstabbing to avoid any of your party getting hurt, you know?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Heheh... I agree. Brute force has its place, but it's more fun to play with the varied style that being stealthy can offer! It's more challenging, and it's just more interesting to me.

Plus it's kind of fun to rob places blind without their noticing.

[moderndaydragon]

You're telling me! I usually just grab what's valuable, but sometimes I end up completely cleaning out an area of everything I can pick up, just because. Even if it's not valuable, I took everything in the house not nailed down!

[fluffydeathdealer]

We have similar strategies, it seems! Though sometimes I wish games had better programming for reactions to that kind of shit. At least in TRPGs you get to find out the funny reactions.

[moderndaydragon]

It seems so! Maybe we should play something like that together sometimes. We'll clean out entire villages of everything from valuables to dishes!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Bring it on! We'll leave those villages devoid of everything that can be stolen!

[moderndaydragon]

We just have to find big enough bags and a busy enough fence!

[fluffydeathdealer]

Heheh... That'll be a cinch. The hard part is the fun part. Not getting caught!

[moderndaydragon]

If one of us gets caught, the other takes the chance to run! We can always break each other out of jail if we need to, but if we're both there, it could be bad, right?

...of course, that assumes the guards don't just try to stab us on sight...

[fluffydeathdealer]

If that happens, you're on your own. Hope you picked a fast class~.

[moderndaydragon]

Aah, Ba~ku~ra~. You're so mean!

[She playfully pushes him, laughing a little.]

What about "honor among thieves" and sticking together?

[fluffydeathdealer]

What? Are you telling me you'd stick around if it was my character getting knifed for robbery?

[moderndaydragon]

Of course I would! Even if it was just to make a distraction so you could get away. Losing everything we stole is a pretty bad hit if we need to drop it or use it as a distraction, but we can always get more. It's hard to replace a partner in crime! Especially one you like.

[fluffydeathdealer]

But while I was running away, they'd probably separate into groups to send some people after me anyway. So I'd still be a distraction. Just one that's fast at fleeing.

[moderndaydragon]

That's true. But in that case, there's less for both of us to dodge, and means it's easier to get away, right?

[fluffydeathdealer]

I suppose so. Maybe I'll be nice and help you out, then.

[moderndaydragon]

Maybe I'll just make sure to carry all the really valuable stuff, so you have to.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...ah. That would definitely be a good reason.

[moderndaydragon]

[She playfully sticks her tongue out at him, but can't keep the serious look and just dissolves into giggles.]

I can't tell if we'd make the best or worst thief team.
