fandomhighdorms | Reserves: Tuesday After Classes, Danger Shop (1/25)

The reservists had been ~~handwavily~~ notified to meet in the Danger Shop this week, because the exercise was... something different. Behind where the leaders were standing was a field (that inexplicably had highway lines) that was constantly being hit by very large, very erratically-timed snowballs. Splat! Running across the field, between the highway lines, were intermittent packs of... very large rabbits. Hopping energetically.

"For the record, this was not really my idea," Kennedy felt the need to point out. "But today we're working on mobility, so you have to make it from one side of the playing field to the other without getting hit."

Any resemblance to a certain video game was beyond her; she wasn't a nerd.

Maladicta, at least, had no clue what this was in reference to. "With snowballs," she added slowly. "Are you certain this is an actual exercise?"

"It's not exactly what I was going for, but it works," Kennedy argued. "It's dodging things from multiple angles. It totally works."

Riiiight.

"We could at least make the rabbits more frightening," Maladicta grumbled, shooting Kennedy a look from beneath her umbrella. Stop being 'helpful', Maladicta. "But, if you're all ready, get to it. Dodgers."

Yes, there are snacks and hot drinks. Because snowballs. And it's easier to hide your expression of 'WTF are they thinking?' behind a coffee cup.

Leda scratched her head. "Are the bunnies gonna attack us too?"

Squall frowned at the obstacle course. As a tactical exercise, it was a good idea, but... well, this was the Danger Shop. They could have used just about ANYTHING instead of snowballs and bunnies. Blue dragons, maybe, or large trucks would have been Squall's suggestions. Or a giant spider-robot.

Dana was kind of hoping to dodge, duck, avoid, what have you, all the snowballs.

Yes.

Yeah, it's basically a demented winter-themed game of Frogger.

Squall closed his eyes, meditating for a few moments. If he was going to do this, he wanted to change around the way his magic was junctioned in order to make sure his Evasion was as high as possible.

Once he was all set, he ran across the field with ease and smirked at the rest of the Reserves from the other side. That? Was how it was done. Did they need him to demonstrate again?

When they ping in.

Ack, yeah. Kennedy didn't think she was up to setting anything on fire right now. There were... lingering visuals there, and the associations felt weird, and besides, did this even work in her world? She was pretty sure Constance would've covered that with her by now.

So those were pretty good reasons to sit the exercise out. On the other hand, it was still kind of useful, and what the hell good was she if she couldn't tough these things out, and...

And pretty much, she just sat there looking conflicted.

Zack was a little quieter than usual today. He'd worn himself out a bit, just doing his introductions at the frat meeting yesterday, and the weekend was finally starting to catch up with him.

That said? He was totally planning on making his way across that course, like, a million bajillion times before the meeting was through. And then maybe a few more, for good measure.

Maladicta was just going to keep giving this a dubious look. Because they didn't have any of this tomfoolery back home, thank you!

It must be bunnies.

You guys are lifesavers. <3 Thank you.
