LASERRRRRS - [Open]

[optimistickey]

Characters: Sora, and OPEN FOR ANYONE PLAYING LASERTAG
Content: One of many lasertag skirmishes, to be sure
Location: The Recreation Deck
Time of Day: Afternoon
Warnings: None thusfar

[Any characters on red team are free to either get a successful shot at him, or be shot back...and green team members can come and team up if they like! Also, treat this thread as party-style...if you want to tags others besides Sora here, go for it.]


Sora just couldn't resist something like this...it was like some of the games they used to play on the Islands when he was younger, but with real lasers. And since they didn't hurt anyone and didn't have actual ammo or anything, they could use them as much as they wanted! How could anyone go wrong with something like that?

So as soon as he'd heard this stuff was available, he ran down to the Weapons Deck and picked up a gun and a set of armor for himself. It looked like he had the green kind. He was currently spending his time prowling around the Recreation Deck, occasionally ducking behind exercise equipment, looking for anyone on the opposite team that he could potentially hit...even if he wasn't the most stealthy person around.

Liz crouched behind the pool table, gun at the ready. It was as good a place as any for cover, somebody was bound to come up here sooner or later. Plus she'd been running around the satellite for a while and needed some time to catch her breath.

It wasn't long before she suddenly heard footsteps from the other side of the room, and she peeked over the edge of the pool table, half covered as she fired several shots.

[optimistickey]

Sora caught the small dots of a red laser just a bit too late. One of them caught him on the shoulder. While he didn't see it himself, a number in red appeared on his forehead.

However, as soon as he was aware that he was being shot at, he ran and ducked behind a pile of equipment by the track. Not as good cover, but at least he could see pretty well. He peered around, searching for any sign of movement.

[punsofiron]

Well, she got him. She thought. She ducked back behind the table for a moment in case he returned fire, and started to sidle toward the other side of the table, hoping to sneak up on him. She poked her head around the corner, seeing no movement, and scrabbled as quickly as she could to the next available cover, staying low to the ground.

Sora's lack of stealth made him a pretty easy target, whether he was aware of it or not. Roxas was also prowling among the exercise equipment. And it really wasn't hard to spot Sora. Exercise equipment didn't exactly provide the best cover.

Roxas smirked as he took aim from behind an exercise bike. He planned to retreat to somewhere with better cover as soon as Sora noticed him, but in the meantime, he got off as many shots as he could before then.

[optimistickey]

With that many shots being fired at him, one was bound to catch Sora, and it did on his leg. He yelped in surprise, and got behind another machine more, trying to guard himself. Who was shooting at him now?!

He did catch a flash of blond hair...it was either Ven, or Roxas. Either way, he was going to repay that shot! He decided that he wasn't going to bother too much with cover...he'd never been one much for that sort of tactic, anyway. Sora got up and charged forward towards Roxas, firing off a bunch of shots in his direction.

[thirteenth_brat]

Getting behind cover was usually a better option when you were being fired on. Then again, they weren't using real weapons, so certain amount of recklessness could pass. Especially when it offered an opportunity for more hits. Roxas squeezed off a some more shots before making a run for better cover. Granted, he took a hit or two himself in doing this, but at least he was trying not to get hit.

His flight took him into an area of the rec deck with a few games in it and he ducked behind a foosball table. Still not the best cover, but he could probably work it.

[halfdarkened]

If there was one thing Riku was, it was that he was a good sport win or lose. Sneaking around Sora was a piece of cake. Avoiding temptation was harder. He was across the room, but he was lining up his shot carefully. Sora's hand was on the floor, in perfect target range. Just a hair to the left and...

A bright red light shone on the floor right next to Sora's hand!

Riku leaned out just enough to smirk at his childhood friend and rival before ducking back in. That was a warning shot.

[optimistickey]

Sora noticed the red light just next to his hand, and yanked it away as the warning shot went off. It didn't seem like he got hit by it. Glancing around, he noticed Riku just duck out of sight on the other side of the room.

Sora smirked. It was another opportunity to even the score between them, and as with the joust, he was determined to get the upper hand here!

He ran a little closer to Riku, firing off his own gun, and not doing so with intent to warn.

[halfdarkened]

Riku kept his head down amongst the weights, poking his gun out between them to fire back. With Sora getting closer, he had to keep an eye open to see where he could run to next. ...There was a crate nearby with banners leftover from the joust. Riku eyed both it and his opponent carefully.

[saint_sami]

On one hand, it WAS Sasami that found the laser tag weaponry in the first place. And a lot of people took it in stride (despite the idea of an eight-year-old with the gizmos kinda worrisome, especially with it being, well, a gun.)

On the other hand, they were on opposite sides now so everything was fair game. It was probably a good idea that she hadn't tagged along with him. They'd probably end up going down the hall shooting at each other the entire time.

As it stood, Sasami was hiding in the worse possible spot - on the other side of the Rec Room's entrance. All she needed was a good shot...

[optimistickey]

Sora himself didn't think much of a kid using a weapon...they weren't hurting things with them, anyway. And hey, he used real weapons from what most would consider a young age, too.

In his searching around the deck, however, he did spot Sasami towards the entrance. He decided that in this case he'd try to better about sneaking up on her. He darted between pieces of equipment, making his way back towards the entrance until he felt he was close enough to aim...

[eyeofwildtiger]

Kotetsu had equipped himself as well, but had been keeping low for now. It wasn't his usual approach, but, somehow, he felt stealth was a better option in this scenario. After all, he wasn't used to using weaponry quite like this.

And while he wasn't exactly a master of stealth himself, he had enough experience to know that Sora was doin' it wrong.

He peered out from behind a row of lockers. "Psst! Kid! Over here!"

[eroded_earth]

Terra glanced over when he heard a voice. He had just picked up his gun not too long ago and was still getting the hang of this game. He wasn't much for long-distance "fighting" but targeting with a laser gun wasn't much different from shot commands.

He checked to make sure the path was clear before ducking over to where the other man was. "Find anyone from the red team, yet?"

[optimistickey]

Sora himself was not used to using a gun, either...he much preferred his Keyblade, or that failing, the wooden Keyblade Terra had made for him. But in this case, laser guns were of course appropriate for a game of tag.

He was making his way along one of the walls when Kotetsu spoke out...and of course, Sora just had to fall for it. "Huh?" He turned in the direction of the voice.

[cleverkit]

Being sneaky and stealthy was usually a good tactic to use in a game like this. Unfortunately for Kotetsu, that sort of thing was more like Wilykit's usual approach. So when Kotetsu peered out from his hiding spot, she was ready to snipe at him from her own.

Hiding inside one of the ball crates might have been a teeny bit claustrophobic, but it was worth it (so long as nobody tried to actually open it up or got hit by the avalanche of balls she had hastily stuffed into one of the closets to make room, that is).

[sailorlaughter]

Behind Kotetsu, one of the lockers he was hiding behind swung open. Pinkie leaned out, balancing herself on two hooves with one forehoof against the door. She'd KNOWN this was a good place to hide out!

"Hi, Kotetsu!" she chirped, firing her red laser at him a few times. "Bye, Kotetsu!" Ambush complete, she ducked back into the locker and slammed the door shut behind her.

Observation Deck!

[sailormagic]

She'd chosen to not throw in with the laser tag, but Twilight was still interested in observing. To that end, she'd equipped herself properly - she'd gathered binoculars and a pith helmet from the theatrical deck, and found herself a nice blank patch of wall to set up her equipment in front of. Said equipment mostly consisted of a table with a journal and pen on it and said binoculars, but still, positioning was important!

"Hmm, interesting... the aggressive nature of these games seem to be overtaking the more peace-loving aspects of most people's natures. Could this be some sort of primal instinct manifesting?" She let the binoculars drop to hang around her neck, picking up the pen in her mouth and making a note in her journal.

Re: Observation Deck!

[sailorlaughter]

"I dunno, but it's FUN!"

Pinkie popped her head out from under the table. She was lying on her back, gun clutched between her forehooves. "You don't mind if I hide here, right Twi? Ooooh, do you see any green people with those binoculars? I'm supposed to be shooting them!" She held up her gun, complete with red markings, proudly.

[icanhastail]

Decked out in green armor, Zidane had used his thief training and followed the sounds of laser blasts up to the Rec Deck and very carefully peeked inside, showing only the very top of his face. No one would shoot him if they didn't know his color, right? He'd waited just long enough for everyone to be distracted shooting someone else, the darted quickly through the door and took a running leap along the wall. Catching some of the ceiling pipage in his hands, he pulled himself up into the ceiling mess and quickly crawled his way out into the center of the room, using the pipes for cover as much as he possibly could.

And when he reached his destination, Zidane wrapped his tail firmly around one of the pipes and let himself hang just a bit down past them to get a clear shot while keeping most of his body shielded. Any red team players anywhere close to being in range would be summarily shot at without hesitation.

[punsofiron]

Liz thought she was being careful as she snuck through the rec deck. She hadn't run into anyone else since she got away from the big mess in the pool hall.

Unfortunately, she fell for the traditional mistake of gamers not looking up. At least, not in time to do anything. She just caught a glimpse of blond hair peeking out from the ceiling and ducked into the other hall, but he definitely got a few hits on her in the meantime.

[sailorlaughter]

Pinkie slunk along the ground, darting from shield to shield. She hadn't seen any more Green players yet, but she just knew there had to be some around here! Ears twitching, she took a few careful steps out of cover...and froze up.

"Twitchy twitch-a twitch!" She gasped, and instantly dove for cover beneath a nearby ball bin. She wasn't quite fast enough, and a few shots grazed her hind legs, but she'd predicted most of the volley. From beneath her shelter, a pair of large blue eyes peered up at Zidane in awe. She TOTALLY never even THOUGHT of doing that!

[thesilenthero]

A large cardboard box appeared to be milling around the room, scooting around various objects. It looked as if the occupant was able to see out, but there didn't seem to be any way that the person inside could actually get a shot off.

[thesilenthero]

A large box made its way through the door and slowly started across the floor. It did seem to be bumping into objects along the way as well, but this didn't seem to deter it from whatever its mission was.

Lexaeus remained silent. Sometimes, confusion was something it was fun to give to your friends as well as your enemies.

[punsofiron]

Ohhhh no you don't. Liz knew that game way too well to let such a simple disguise fool her. She didn't know which team the box was on, but seeing it bump into things and go entirely the wrong way was a sorry sight.

She snuck up behind the box and knocked on its side. "Hey, Solid Snake, the warzone's behind you."

[wefallinsilence]

Even hidden in a box, there aren't really a lot of people that size on the Satellite, and while Ienzo will certainly grant that it's not going to be helping the team's score it also won't be hindering that much. Besides, it does offer quite the distraction, and that he can use.

So after making sure that there's no one near enough to shoot him for doing so, he comes close enough to gently pat on of the sides of the box.
