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. If you get a -1, then a 1, however, you end up with 0. You may do this once a day.

Bars earned: 5
He had shot a gun. More then once, many times in fact. However this was different. He wasn't sure why it was different, but it was. Before when he shot a gun it was to help his father out, or for protecting himself. This should be easier, but for whatever reason it wasn't. He was nervous. He was worried about something that wasn't even really a big deal. It was a fake gun and the things that he was shooting was fake. It was all fake. But still, he was worried. No not worried, nervous. Still he had to do this, he knew it was a test and that if he did good then he wouldn't be allowed out to do big things. Bing would be going out, he was doing so well, and Benji didn't intend to wait around for him alone. No sir, he was going to do this and he was going to do well.
He got to the paintball room and took the gun. The first thing that popped up was a human, and he was so nervous that he shot it. He swore and then another one popped up before he could really think. This one was a zombie and he shot it dead. After that another zombie that he should quickly. He smiled, feeling as if he was getting the hang of things. The next three were humans, and he managed to not kill them. With a smile he turned and walked out. He would go back another day, and maybe that time he wouldn't hit any humans. It wasn't as hard as he thought it would be when he got there.
He couldn't wait to go tell Bing how well he did, and how soon he would be able to join him out on real missions.
