[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.

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?"

[eyeofwildtiger]

"Nah, not yet. But if that kid isn't careful, we're sure to find some real quick."

Yes, this was serious business indeed.

[eroded_earth]

Terra nodded. They had to be careful. Okay, perhaps he was also taking this too seriously, but his Master had trained him using games like this sometimes, so it wasn't too difficult to get back into that sort of mindset.

"Besides Sora, who else from our team is down here? Have you seen anyone else?"

[eyeofwildtiger]

"Haven't seen 'em, but I think there's at least one sniping," Kotetsu replied, nodding his head towards the open area.

[eroded_earth]

He glanced out in that direction but saw no one. If somebody was sniping they were doing an excellent job of keeping their cover.

"Well, they're good, I'll give them that much whoever they are."

[eyeofwildtiger]

"Plenty of good places to hide here, though," Kotetsu pointed out, "Especially for the smaller ones."

[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.

[eyeofwildtiger]

Kotetsu waved an arm, gesturing.

"Quick! Over here before they see you!"

[optimistickey]

Sora glanced around again for anyone else before following Kotetsu's gesturing and running towards him. He ducked behind the lockers as well.

"Who all's down here?" he asked, keeping his voice low.

[eyeofwildtiger]

"Lots of reds," Kotetsu replied, "So you gotta keep things quiet. Don't want to make yourself an easy target."

[optimistickey]

Sora nodded...it sounded like Kotetsu had a little more experience with this kinda thing. Even if he actually didn't, it at least sounded like it to Sora.

"No..." He glanced back around the lockers. "But maybe we can keep each others' back covered!"

[eyeofwildtiger]

Kotetsu gave Sora a thumbs up.

"Sounds like a plan! Maybe we outta find some place to stake out."

[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).

[eyeofwildtiger]

Kotetsu was so preoccupied watching Sora that he was completely oblivious to any sniping attempts at the moment. Intuition was nagging at him, though.

[cleverkit]

Ready... aim... pew, pew! Wilykit fired directly at Kotetsu while she had the chance. Direct hit, woohoo!

...Aaaaand the sound effect her gun gave off when she used it was probably not helping her stay hidden. Kit bit her lip to stifle an "Oh, crud!" and quickly ducked back under the safety of her crate's lid, desperately hoping that neither Sora nor Kotetsu were able to find her now.

[eyeofwildtiger]

The instant he heard the gun go off, Kotetsu ducked further behind the locker. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't fast enough.

"Aw, dammit! Who did that!?"

[punsofiron]

Well done, kitty, WELL done.

While Kotetsu tried to hide behind the locker, there was another figure sneaking up on him from another blind spot, taking a quick shot at him and ducking back into hiding.

[eyeofwildtiger]

That settled it. The position had been compromised! Kotetsu made a run for it, looking for a better hiding place.

[cleverkit]

Nobody in here but us balls! Honest!

After about twenty seconds had passed and nobody had taken the opportunity to shoot the fish--er, cat--in the barrel, Wilykit slowly lifted the lid about an inch or so and peeked back out at the battlefield.

Honestly, she was starting to get the feeling she hadn't thought her cunning plan all the way through. Aside from being cramped, it was stifling in there with the lid shut, and playing the waiting game was quickly getting boring. Hmm, maybe she should switch hiding spots soon, while the other Green Team members were distracted... Just after one more snipe...

[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.

[eyeofwildtiger]

"What th-... HEY!"

Oh, that just wouldn't do. Game face on, Kotetsu raised his weapon and slid to the other side of the locker door. He reached out and tapped on it twice.

"Yo, Pinkie!"

[sailorlaughter]

Three lockers down, another door swung open. Pinkie peeked out from behind it, only her head visible and her gun nowhere to be seen. "Yeah?"

[eyeofwildtiger]

...actually, he's too surprised to fire right away.

"How did you do that."

[sailorlaughter]

Pinkie blinked at him, then at the ground, the ceiling, and the locker. Finally she looked back at him, head tilted. "Do what?"
