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.

Paintball sounded easy enough; after all he had done plenty of shooting at the Academy with real weapons. Walking out into the yard he picked a gun up off of the table and was somewhat caught off guard by its weight. He had expected it to be some kind of cheaply made children’s toy, but this was somewhat more realistic. After a moment of balancing it in his hand and just generally messing with it to get a feel for it he took his position and waited to start. Those these were cutouts he would attempt to do his best, because the real thing was closer than he wanted to imagine.
His eyes flicked momentarily to the fence surrounding the prison, it was the only thing that stood between him and getting his throat chewed out like his poor uncle. His training would surely come in handy in a situation like this, but he wondered just how much he would be able to do. It was unfortunate in some ways that the Academy had not offered an End of Days class just to prepare everyone for something like this. The majority of the police force had been wiped out somewhat early on. No one had been prepared for the horrors of the infected.
His mind had wandered a bit too far, for when the cutouts began to pop up he found himself snapping back into reality just in time to attempt to aim and fire. His mind was still in a fog and his focus way too far off base. He had really managed to screw himself over this time. Eventually a cutout that appeared to be an infected popped up and he hit is square between the eyes, his next shot however was not as great. This time he hit a civilian. “Yikes…” He winced before setting the weapon slowly aside.
