Reserves: Danger Shop, Tuesday After Classes

The Reserves had been handwavily notified to meet in the Danger Shop again today, and to wear warm clothes. When they arrived, they'd find the area set up to look exactly like their usual meeting area behind the dorms, right down to the coffee, hot chocolate, and snacks (except those were real).

"So we thought we'd do a little exercise in navigating in really bad visual conditions today," Kennedy announced, chucking a thumb back at the area behind her. There was a large, brightly-colored archery target set up on a table at one end of the clearing, and eight stations well stocked with a moddable array of ranged weapons, or snowballs if you really wanted to go that way, scattered at various distances across the clearing.

Any resemblance to a series of snow forts was purely coincidental, of course.

"It's gonna be snowing really hard when you guys go through the course, but what you're gonna do is work your way backwards through these stations. You've got three chances at hitting the target from each one, then you have to head to the next one. Bonus points if you do it in five minutes or less; hit the target at least once from each station and I'll buy you lunch sometime."

And who didn't want a free lunch? Really now people.

"While you run the course, we will be AMERICAN GLADIATORS adding to the challenge by trying to hit you with snowballs or whatever else we have on hand," Maladicta added. "In case you thought it might be a little to easy."

"Careful," Zack added lightly, smiling at the group at large. "We've got pretty good throwing arms!"

[Open, if a little late!]

Alexander didn't know quite why, but the thought of a nice mug of hot coffee sounded incredibly perfect right now, yes...

James was here for the food more than the mingling. Ah, sweet hand-warming hot chocolate...

Yes, exactly what Cally needed after the newspaper staff meeting was more sugar and caffeine.

Someone would be up very late tonight, but the hot chocolate was worth it.

Grinning, Jimmy ran up to the first 'fort' and grabbed the snowballs, hefting one in his hand before he popped up to pelt it at the archery target.

Throwing things at people meant love, really. Projectile love!

As long as it wasn't coffee being thrown, dear god. Maladicta might harm you then.

Kennedy was really just sad she couldn't fire a snowball-crossbow at people, but throwing snowballs meant she could work out some frustration, so that was of the good.

...it meant she'd probably be throwing them hard, though.

But when she wasn't doing that, she was hanging out near the coffee, and she wasn't scowly, shut up. Zack's grin just made her look all serious-face.
