"It's like an evil Secret Sibling, with people getting other people as victims. Maybe even multiple victims. Anyways, everyone has at least one target and is the target of at least one other person, and you gotta shoot your victim and avoid being shot. With like Nerf guns or squirt guns and such. Campuswide. Whaddya think?"

"An evil Secret Sibling...?" Kiki raises a dubious eyebrow. "Well, it does sound fun, I admit. I think you'd get a lot of people signing up for it."

"There'd be base rules, of course, like classes are safe, and certain places on campus or in town, even, are safe. But like common areas, maybe even hallways or dorm rooms are fair game. An' there'll be a lot of figurin' out behind the scenes beforehand so that roommates ~~or people with the same mun~~ don't get each other and all." John's got a huge grin.

"Does it have to be done secretly?" asks Kiki, grinning. "I mean, is the hit invalid if there are witnesses?"

"See, that's part of the thing I have to work out. I mean, if there's no witnesses, then there's no proof that the 'hit' was carried out, but... then again, the goal is to accomplish the mission and not get caught, so..."

"There's always the honor system," Kiki says optimistically. "Or everyone gets a slip of paper and when you get hit, you agree by the rules of the game to sign the paper of the person who got you."

"Right. Or maybe paintball guns."

She giggles. "Until they wash it off."

"True. Hafta make super gluey paint, or somethin'. Mebbe make the darts sticky?"

"Why not change it from Assassin to Bounty Hunter and have all agents have to capture their targets in nets and drag them before you as proof?" Kiki asks. It's a little tough to tell if she's actually serious about that.

"First off, I don't think we'll have enough nets for that many people. And second off, you'd have to be muscular to drag people to a staging area. I mean, I'd love to see you trying to drag The Tick or someone. In a net. Down a hall." John laughs at the absurdity, not necessarily at the idea.

"Well, then they can staple the net to the wall or stake it to the floor until they can get someone to help them haul in their capture or get you there as a witness to their success." Kiki is definitely joking now. Although... there is some merit in the notion. Well, if not merit, then at least amusement.

"And risk the wrath of the janitorial staff for cleanup and repairs? Nevaaah. B'sides, they'll get that Smith guy to come back and kick all our asses. Gotta make sure I ask this Dewey guy while he's still here."

"I don't know; I think Principal Smith right really enjoy this game," Kiki says skeptically. "A little too much, rather."

"Yeah, I think so too. Which is why SlackerMan is better than Smith."

"I don't know much about either," Kiki admits, "So I can't really say. Principal SlackerMan does seem much more laid back, though, you're right about that.

"Which would be why I'd include him as an assassin, but maybe not as an assassee. Unless we get the teachers involved in all of this. Which could be fun and very frightening."

"Very," Kiki nods seriously. "Which tempts me to encourage you to include them."

"Oh, I htink I shall."
