Danger Shop, After Classes

[puppy_fair]

Once again the reserves members had been handwavily notified that the meeting would be in the Danger Shop, but did that mean the traditional snacks would be forgotten? Of course not.

Of course there were cookies -- a lot of them seemed to have cherries in them, for some reason, and others had various fruit-jelly fillings as well. There was also a small pile of tubes of Spree, courtesy of Kennedy, who was grateful not to be a hedgehog this week but also more than a little eager to get rid of some of the source of yesterday’s sugar hangover.

“So we--” because she’d been here too, watching, shut up-- “did some footwork and coordination stuff last week, right? This week we’re gonna try and work on being sneaky, a little.” Kennedy waved a hand around the Danger Shop. “So you guys get to run a maze.”

“The maze isn’t really the sneaky part, though,” Zack added, perking up as he stuffed a couple of Spree tubes into his pockets. You guys totally didn’t see that. Honest. “The maze is all about finding your way through unfamiliar terrain, or something like that. The sneaky part is that there are ghosts in the maze, and they’re hungry.”

Fear.

“Also I think they have names, but anyway.” Kennedy was not pocketing any candy, thank you. “Don’t worry, they’re sorta goofy-looking ghosts. Like bedsheet-over-your-head type, so no trauma. Anyway.” She waved a hand. “Go. Maze it up. Try not to get fake-eaten.”

And for the love of everything, don’t ask about that ‘waka-waka-waka’ sound.

Arrive! Mingle! Eat!

There’s Spree to go with your fruity cookies! Maybe the sugar will help to fuel your romp through the maze, right?

When Zack was telling Alexander about the reserves, he didn't remember anything being said about there being snacks.

It was a very pleasant surprise indeed.

She liked how this group had new and interesting challenges each week. It made things fun!

Leda was so ready for this. Ghosts? No problem, her mother had been a ghost for awhile.

She did wonder about the hungry part though.

Katniss was going to stuff things into her pockets with abandon, yes. She'd eat some of it, too, but these cookies should keep for a couple days, at least.

James had a bad feeling about ghosts. Not that he'd had a good feeling about ghosts...

Goose didn't have any of the cookies but he was looking forward to tackling the maze.

Sugar. There was never a problem with sugar. Dru grabbed a handful and stood off to the side.

She'd dealt with real ghosts. Dealing with Danger Shop ghosts would be easy.

Tackle the Maze!

[puppy_fair]

Alone or in pairs! Or groups of whatever size, really. The important thing is that you don’t get eaten by ghosts. If you do, they’ll just send you back to the start. Can you out-sneak Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde?

(Mod your ghosts at will!)

Wes shifted uncomfortably from foot to foot. Ghosts? Who wanted to eat him? He had zero experience with that.

Yeah, he was gonna wait for a partner.

Re: Tackle the Maze!

"Hey there, need a partner?"

Re: Tackle the Maze!

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Wesley sighed in relief. "Yes, certainly, if you wouldn't mind."

Re: Tackle the Maze!

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Not a problem." she smiled. "I'm Leda by the way. I don't think we've officially met?"

Re: Tackle the Maze!

[ostianbelle.livejournal.com]

Ha! After the Library the maze will be a piece of cake! She can handle this no problem!

And just like Asuna, she ran headlong into the maze with no plan whatsoever. It's amazing how she's lived so long...

James started off, and froze instantly at a sound; he waited for over a minute, one foot in the air, hands touching the wall to provide balance.

He heard nothing.

Slowly, he put his foot down. The sound was there. He lifted his foot. Quiet. He put it down. Sound.

He put his toe down--half of the sound. He cursed, softly, and started to tiptoe. Wh...kh...wh...kh..

He sped up, still on tiptoe. Wa..ka..wa..ka..

Grinning like he was being chased by the Krondorian Imperial Guards, James started running through the maze. Wakawakawakawaka

The Leaders!

[puppy_fair]

For all your “I have been eaten by a pink bedsheet-ghost” complaining needs. When they ping in, of course.

Re: The Leaders!

[puppy_fair]

Zack was there, and looking quite pleased with the whole scenario!

Or maybe that was just all of the candy, making him bounce like that today.

Re: The Leaders!

[brat_inslayage]

Kennedy was going to let Zack have her share of the candy, thanks. No more sugar for her. (This resolution would maybe last two weeks.)

She was available, though, and a bit preoccupied with the question of how, exactly, you defeated a pink bedsheet ghost. Bleach, maybe?

"Glad to see you're no longer a hedge hog," Dru snickered. "Not that I can say anything. I was a cat for a few days last week."

Re: The Leaders!

[brat_inslayage]

"And me missing the chance to mock," Kennedy replied, patting her own shoulder like she was checking for random lingering spines. "You know, hedgehogs? Really not meant to eat candy. I know this for sure now."

Re: The Leaders!

[svetocha-blooms.livejournal.com]

"Oh no, your poor stomach. Who was dumb enough to feed them to you?" she asked.

OOC!

[puppy_fair]

WAKA-WAKA-WAKA-WAKA...

Re: OOC!

[puppy_fair]

Although, with that icon, I suppose I should have said something silly, like, "Wark-a."

Ah, hindsight and its 20-20 vision.

Re: OOC!

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

hee, "Warka-a".

This just reminds me of that silly fake Pac-Man movie trailer I've seen. That tries to make it look like a srs horror movie.

Re: OOC!

[puppy_fair]

I've seen that one! I think! Is that the one where the ghosts are the protagonists, and they keep getting eaten whenever the lights flicker and the world inverts?

It kind of puts a Silent Hill bent on Pac-Man, in that sense. And cracks me the heck up.
