Paintball:


Among all of the equipment and sports gear that lie around ready for common use on the playing field, there is a section squared off for another test that the faction has created for new members. It's simple enough - you're given a paintball gun with a silencer on it - this is important, because guns are too noisy to be fired out in the open field, even if it's still protected by the electrified fence. It might attracted too much unwanted attention.

A crudely made mechanical device pops up cardboard cut outs of what looks like were once poster advertisements of various people. There's a busty woman smoking a cigarette and leaning on something that might have been a car. There's a young man in jeans that hang too low, trying to look like James Dean in a black and white photo. There are several of these cardboard people, most of which are only from the midsection up, that pop up at random times like Whack a Moles. Interspersed between them are similar cutouts - except these have been altered. The skin has been colored to green, eyes have been blackened or reddened, and blood seems to have been drawn everywhere. These are the infected. It's your job to shoot them. And only them.

The test isn't necessarily a chance to practice your shooting skills - it's meant to test your ability to make quick decisions, and a crude attempt to lesson friendly fire casualties. The cutouts pop up fast, and at random, making for a hectic challenge; so it's also a stress test.

Step One:
Roll 6d6 in one NON-RP post. Each dice is considered one cutout, in the exact order they are rolled. Even means it was a human, odd means it was a zombie.

Step Two:
In your next post, roll 6d6 again. Each dice is considered the shot for the cutouts in your first roll. The first dice tells you whether you hit the first cutout, and so on. Even means you shot it, odd means you did not shoot.
-You must roleplay each cutout individually, although you may do them all in this one post. Just describing what you hit is enough.
-This post in total must be a minimum of 300 words.

Example:
-I roll 6d6 and get 5, 6, 3, 1, 5. This means I have a zombie, a human, a zombie, a zombie, and a zombie, in that order.
-I roll 6d6 again, and get 6, 3, 5, 1, 2. This means I hit a zombie, I did not fire at a human, I did not fire at a zombie, I did not fire at a zombie, I hit a zombie.

IC Modifiers:
-Your character might be wary about shooting anything (This is your roleplay choice based on your character). If so, you are allowed to choose to change one of your six shots to a no-shot, each time you do this exercise.
-Your character might be trigger happy (This is your roleplay choice based on your character). If so, you are allowed to choose to change one of your six shots to a hit, each time you do this exercise.
-You may not do BOTH of these each time. Just one.
-You may choose to do neither.
-The choices you make do affect your end score.

Rewards:
For every zombie you hit, you get 1 bar. For every human you did not shoot, you get 1 bar. For every human you hit, you lose 1 bar. You cannot get negative numbers, so if your third shot hits a human and you are at 0, you remain at zero. You may do this once a day.

The thought about going to play some Paintball sounded pretty fun . . . on a normal day and normal place. Not right here and now, but he was bored as hell. That and Kaethus invited him out to go shooting so he thought he might as well go out.

He followed Kaethus who is twirling it around. Aaron is just waiting for him to shoot himself in the face, chuckling at the idea even though it sounds so cruel. "Oh? We'll see about that then . . ." And he walked over to one side to let him play his round first, watching just how fast he crash and burn from a couple of cardboard cutouts.

Kaethus walked back to him, his walk of shame really, and didn't say anything about it. "Well it's your first time, and I bet you shoot better when drunk." Grabs the gun from him, and he walks out to try his hand at this.

At the start of the game, he held the gun up with caution and look for the target which he discover it's harder than he thought. Having one eye took half his vision away, and he shot at what looks like a child holding heavy books in her arms. ". . . damn it." It wasn't a first good shot.

The second target pop up and he struggle in deciphering if it was a zombie or not. "Who the hell makes these things?" Aaron complain as he didn't shoot the zombie. Even the second zombie target appear, and he didn't shoot it down.

Moving on to the next target, it was a human that appeared right at his blind spot the entire time. It took Aaron only a little while to actually see it and shot it down. "******** . . . I think my vision is going away." He shook it off and just decides to go with his gut feeling instead of hesitating with his cautiousness. A human man target appear, and with his hand on the trigger he manage to stop himself from shooting it down. Then after that he saw a grotesque looking zombie and shot it right in the face which ends his game.

He walks over to see Kaethus and smirks at him with the gun at hand. ". . . it's beginners luck. Stupid targets got at my blind spot most of the time." Aaron lifts his hand up and ruffled his little brother's hair a bit, wrapping his arm around his neck to pull him away. "I'm hungry, so lets get something to eat now at the mess hall." Not giving him a chance to speak about it, he drags him away from the paintball field.


LOOT!! x2
