Armed Weaponry - SHOOT THE TARGETS!

[icequeen_aran]

Who: Samus and YOUUUU
What: holy balls Armed Weaponry class
Where: Room 214 / Stadium in Shoot The Targets mode
When: Tuesday, February 11th
Warnings: S for Samus

[MUCH LIKE ANY OF HER OTHER CLASSES, Samus has totally been teaching hers in spirit the whole time and not just once a year as my abysmal log posting activity shows. If that. That said, welcome to Armed Weaponry... or at least the note on room 214 is telling you that:

Students of Armed Weaponry class please meet in the stadium today.

PS- tardiness due to previously unforeseen weather events including and not limited to leftover edible snow will not be excused.

Student uprisings and Fighting For Your Rights may be slightly more forgivable depending on when that happens. BUT! For intents and purposes... yeah man, that snow has got to be all kinds of gross and brown by now. No amount of adorable seasonal garland-y pink-hearted Valentine's Day decor strung from the ceilings will cover that up (sorry Zelda). So Armed Weaponry will be reconvening to the large stadium with the dome roof tightly sealed. No sticky situations will be had here in their fighting fortress. Today's fight will be against these suckers placed strategically throughout a large floating arrangement of slippery icy blocks.]

Today we'll be running through Target Smash obstacle course four. Take note of the icy surface and the hazards it can present.

Ice and cold are not exactly my favorite things in the world, but... [TIME TO DEMONSTRATE! Bundled up in little more than jeans and a flexible blue jacket, Samus leaps up to the rightmost lower section of pillared platforms and uses her momentum to slide down the slope. The target is taken out with a single pink bolt from her paralyzer gun and it looks like she's going to slide right off the edge into the icy abyss, BUT NAY! She continues to use her momentum to provide a nice kick-off for a wall jump across the adjacent platform and up onto the next. She's not going to run through the whole course (of course) so from there she slides off and hits safe ground with a dull thud. She made it look so easy.]

You must be nimble and utilize your weight efficiently. Only ranged weapons will be allowed.

[BEHOLD! A BOX OF ITEMS! Inside you may make your selection of RAY GUN (both old and new models), SUPER SCOPE, CRACKER LAUNCHER, STAR ROD, Cornerian styled blaster, and bows that aren't but look suspiciously like the Hero's Bow. There are probably other odds and ends in here as well.]

You may utilize special abilities so long as the target isn't ultimately destroyed by a melee attack. If you want to punch stuff go see Max in Smash Fundamentals,

There are ten targets in total. You will be timed.

[She slides her gun right back in her thigh holster super cool]

Good luck.

ATTENDANCE/QUESTIONS

[icequeen_aran]

[Show up and idk watch her demonstrate the lesson. Questions and stupid comments from the peanut gallery also welcome.]

[raw_angel_power]

[Pit is definitely here and eager to try out the target course.]

[icequeen_aran]

[Yeah you got those flappy wings of yours ice shouldn't be too much of a problem? Right?]

What's going to be your weapon of choice today, Pit?

::It's Apple Kid.::

[icequeen_aran]

[Hi. Apple Kid. Are you participating today...]

[crystal_ballin]

::Raised hand::

But don't only yakuza and the police have guns? Why are we practicing to shoot guns? I don't want to be a cop and I don't want to go to yakuza school.

[icequeen_aran]

Why did you sign up for this class?

[SQUINT.]

Are you even in this class, Hagakure...

[None of these look like sniper rifles, although he guesses the super scope will do the job. Siiiigh. It looks like a plastic toy for kids.]

[icequeen_aran]

[Never underestimate those plastic kid toys, man.]

[dachopunk]

[Here she was! Here she was with her homemade gun.]

[icequeen_aran]

[Hello baby bird so nice to see you and your innovations here in an appropriate time and place to use them

time for some very encouraged property damage.]

SHOOT THE TARGETS!

[icequeen_aran]

[Shoot 'em good. Samus will be watching and grading. Hopefully your fellow students will cheer you on and won't try to distract you or anything.]

CANNOT SHOOT THE TARGETS!

::Hagakure holds a star rod like it's about to explode in his hands. He tries to use it but has no idea, and, standing on the ice, he manages to just fall over without getting it to successfully hit anything::

F A I L U R E

[After an allotted time the buzzer rings and a booming omnipresent computer voice announce his unfortunate failure.]

Time: 57.52

::Apple Kid pulls an envelope out of his front pocket. He takes a pen and carefully addresses the envelope::

The Targets on the Stadium Stage
Smash Academy
Final Destination City
Interdimensional Hub

::He then shoots his ray gun into the envelope 10 times. He puts the gun away, and then seals the envelope, and places it on the ground.::

::The envelope quivers for about 5 seconds, then leaps up and goes flying off towards every target on the field and, as it buzzes past, a shot flies out of the envelope and hits the target. All ten targets are hit.::

[icequeen_aran]

[She once questioned things like this. She once, in all her strange bounty hunting adventures, would have questioned a ray gun beams coming out of a flying envelop.

She does not question these things anymore.]

[dachopunk]

[YEAHHHHH PROPERTY DAMAGE. LEGAL TYPE. She makes quick work of shooting the targets, and manages to make an okay amount of them. More than she would usually, because she just went through a practice with Captain Falcon.]

[icequeen_aran]

[Impressive property damage baby bird. It's almost like you just went through a practice with Captain Falcon.]

LURKERS

[icequeen_aran]

[Are you even in this class...]

[golonghorns]

[No. No. He totally isn't in this class. Or any class.

But weapons are something he has an interest in for obvious reasons.

Except these are not shotguns or pistols or... anything normal. These are future styled Pew Pew star trek looking guns and a really ornate bow.

Oh yeah and the place is made out of ice which is kind of crazy, too.

In short, don't mind the shaggy guy in the corner staring around with a look on his face which plainly says 'what the balls, man!?']

[icequeen_aran]

[Hi shaggy guy are you the new campus hobo. You look like the new campus hobo. Or terribly lost. A lost hobo.

Just kidding--what kind of bounty hunter would she be if she didn't keep tabs on who pops up on the school's network, regardless if she felt like being social on it or not.]

Joel, right?

[tank_rockarms]

There ain't nothin' wrong with punches.

[trustycrowbar]

[No he's not in this class, ma'am. No one could even mistake him for a student. In fact, he sticks out like a sore thumb; It must be that weird orange suit he's wearing.

Gordon must have been on his way to the training ranges when he got curious about all the noise in the dome. Now he leans against one of the cavernous doorways into the floor of the stadium, looking up and studying the others as they go through their paces on the Big Rotating Ice Block of Doom.]

TRADITIONAL BOTHER MS. ARAN THREAD

[icequeen_aran]

[Before, during, or after class: it's tradition.]

[raced_god]

[wow look who is here are you surprised

this is completely surprising]
