The Range [Late Tuesday morning and early afternoon]

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela was actually sort of looking forward to meeting with Karla today. The other girl was a quick learner and rather attentive. And she also appreciated, in all senses of the word, what a gun could do.

Besides, the questions about how magic might interact with Triela's own system had had her mulling over the implications of magic and modern technology for a while, and today's little experiment ought to prove rather enlightening.

She sorted through her gear. It wasn't often that she pulled out every weapon she had in storage. In fact, it was probably a good thing she'd arrived so much earlier than their appointed time because even she had needed to make quite a number of trips to get it all set up. She also had a kevlar vest with her for safety's sake. Ricochets could be unpredictable at the best of times, and she sort of doubted that what they were planning to try would make the things any more predictable.

Behind the Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

[bitchprince]

"The fire drill last week had a good premise," Arthur began, as soon as everyone had gathered. Even if he'd disagreed with the execution of it. "We'll continue mapping out the island today, although our current task is far more simple. In the event of a sudden attack, we must be aware of the easiest and quickest trails leading to a gathering point or a way of getting off the island. When the alligators invaded, many of us met up at the park - that's one location. There are only two ways off the island: either by boat from the docks, or by causeway. I'd like you all to go to one of these three locations by use of the route that seems fastest to you. Then return to us, and we'll compare exit strategies."

Leto had managed to acquire copies of a map of the island. "These might be helpful when you decide on a route, and will enable you to communicate your choice with precision to everyone else." He held the maps up, and offered everyone to take one.

He nodded at Leto once, then turned back to those gathered. "In case of another invasion, we should meet in the park if the threat is dispersed, or at the gates when it seems to be more cohesive. That way, we'll be able to coordinate our strategy accordingly." He nodded at shamelessly modded Zack as well, and let the exercise commence.

Magical Reserve - Preserve Next to the Cabins, Wednesday

[wantstodirect]

"Hey!" Tony said, once people had gathered. "Today we're working on shields again, but this time we're going to play British Bulldogs with magic." He pointed to a couple of people. "You and you. You guys are the bulldogs. Your job is to catch everyone else. If you touch them - skin or clothes - then they're a bulldog, too, and have to go after the others. Everyone else, your job is to not get touched."

Tony pointed to bright yellow crime scene ribbons tied to trees around the edge of the clearing. "That's the boundaries. If you go outside the boundaries, you automatically become a bulldog. Today we're only doing shields, so you can use shields and you can attack shields but no other kind of magic. Ready?"

After any questions had been answered, Tony pointed to one of the bulldogs. "Count to ten, slowly. When you get to ten, the game's on. Start now."

4th Floor Common Room [Tuesday, Evening]

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela wasn't really the sort of girl to mope. Even after a rough couple of days like this. Just not in her.

She knew she'd overreacted, that it was up to her to sort out, and that she should just get over herself and do it... But she wasn't going to go out of her way to do it right this minute. Soon. She'd stop putting it off and do it soon.

Until then, she was the sort to distract herself from all the things she didn't really want to keep thinking about, by getting out of her room and flopping on the common room couch to flick through channels in the hope there was something half decent on.

The answer, as it turned out, was 'not really'.

[[Common room is open common room like these things are!]]
