[The feed starts in what looks like a dark, maze-like place. Those familiar with it will recognize it as the Laser Tag arena.The Guide is broadcasting from sticking out of a pocket, so the owner can't be seen. Whoever it is, though, they seem to be taking the whole thing rather lightly, merely walking around, never running. Suddenly, the Guide

You're on!

[apathetic_seal]

I'll be waiting, then.

[action]

[whosyour_rikku]

[Rikku shows up with her special laser tag suit on, feeling pretty badass.] I'd ask if you're ready to go down, but trust me, you can't handle how hard I'm gonna take you.

Re: [action]

[apathetic_seal]

Don't think you've got me just yet. You haven't even seen what I can do.

[action]

[whosyour_rikku]

[Gives you a little hip-bump.] Then show me your moves, Mr. Minato, and we'll see! But don't say I didn't warn you.

[He's aware that he's probably gonna get his head handed to him out there, but what was the fun in admitting that?]

We'll see.

[He extends his hand for a formal shake before they start setting up.]

[action]

[whosyour_rikku]

[Shakes his hand, but doesn't let go, instead pulling him along to the field.]

[Calls over her shoulder:] Hey, we playin' for anything?

[action]

[apathetic_seal]

[He'll just let himself be tugged along. Whatever.]

Nah, not really. Just for fun.

[action]

[whosyour_rikku]

Righty-ho, then, I can roll with that! But if you start wanting to play for keeps, just let me know and we can make things interesting!

[When they get to the battle field, Rikku let's go of him and stands proudly with her hands resting on her hips. She spins around to face him.]

Re: [action]

[apathetic_seal]

Nah. I don't do bets unless I know I have the upper hand.

So don't make bets with me. Just saying.

[Minato faces and readies his shotgun in return. The arena is sort of dark and maze-like like most laser tag arenas, but it's multi-level and has some open areas. Should make for an interesting match once the horn sounded off to start.]

So how do you want to start this?

[action]

[whosyour_rikku]

Hide and wait for the buzzer? That way it'll be 3 degrees more difficult to find each other! You know, 'cause we'll have more time to start out in the perfect hiding place.

Re: [action]

[apathetic_seal]

Alright, sure.

See ya on the battlefield, then.

[And then he steps away to go hide somewhere.]

[action]

[whosyour_rikku]

[Runs off as well, making sure she keeps in mind what direction you went off in. She ducks behind a small run-down desk and checks her weaponry out.]

Re: [action]

[apathetic_seal]

[Aaaand the buzzer sounds. He makes no effort to move, rather just lays in wait. See what she does first.]

[action]

[whosyour_rikku]

[Oh dude, how boring would it be if Rikku did the same thing? It's a good thing this is Rikku and she's totally going to go for the first move.]

[Creeps herself sideways, back against a wall. She watches a little bit for shadows, seeing whether or not they moves positions.] Definitely not you. [Get's on her belly and slithers across the open floor to a set up that looks like an abandoned bridge. She takes cover under that.]

Re: [action]

[apathetic_seal]

[Nothing... nothing... No movement... Wait. There. Near the floor. That was something. No clear shot, though, so he had to move closer. He kept near the floor, trying to make his way towards where the movement was near that bridge.]

[Ah, to hell with it. He goes ahead and takes a shot, sending a volley of lasers in the direction of the bridge. If anything, it would make her show herself probably.]
