[THE GYM] [OPEN]

[vitaelamorte.livejournal.com]

Who: All residents of the Mansion.
Where The Gym
When: During the Mad Mod event.
Rating: PG. \o/
Summary: Today the Mansion's turned into a most unusual sort of learning environment. Can you survive the perils of Education, now with its own unique Mansion flavor? [Note that while your character can only be in one of the classrooms to start with, they can sure as hell escape... only to land into another. Feel free to interact with one another. \o/ Hey, you might even rescue your poor friends!]
the Story:
The gym's an ordinary-looking enough place, and once you get in, you'll immediately find yourself dressed in gym apparel-- a white T-shirt and blue shorts, both emblazoned with a tiny logo of a crown (white on the shorts, blue on the shirt).

Lined up all along the walls, pointing inward, are cannons-- and once you start to move within their range, they'll start firing at you. Their aim isn't great, and the balls (decorated with the faces of the mansion's notorious residents-- Hare, Cat, Dormouse, even the Queen) are easy enough to dodge... but they're not nice little squishy dodgeballs, but actual cannon-balls.

There's gym equipment one can hide behind (balance beams, a gymnast's horse, and pretty much anything else you can think of) and a storage room with mattresses and normal balls where characters can wait out the worst of the barrage... but if you want to get out, you'll have to take out those cannons first.

Saix is standing in the gym, claymore out although not yet displaying its full collection of spikes. A couple of cannonballs gibber indignant nonsense where they've been sent crashiong back across the room after being fired at Saix, and the scene is a little like the most violent and dangerous game of tennis ever known.

Seemingly, the mansion was blocking his ability to simply leave through a portal of darkness, making this task that much more difficult. For now, Saix's solution is to make his progress across the gym by deflecting whatever cannonballs come at him with his claymore.

Fai was having a grand old time in the gym. For someone who was weaponless, he probably should not have been having so much fun with it - but it was fun. He was tumbling about and dodging the cannon balls with ease. They weren't terribly difficult to evade, but he was still smiling as he slid by them.

It seems the thought to throw anything back hadn't occurred at all.

Oh sure, he would have to figure out something eventually, but for the moment, dancing around the cannon balls was providing enough amusement. He hadn't had to fight like this in quite some time, if one could really call it "fighting", that is.

And with an ear splitting screech of an old PA system crackling to life, Yzma's voice crowed and boomed.

"Delinquents found in the halls without a pass shall be appropriately penalized!

Don't expect to be ^{saved by the bell}, you willful whippersnappers!"

Eiko had not been having a good day. Dressed in shorts and a shirt too big for her, she'd been scrambling out of the way of the cannon balls the moment she woke up. Fat lot of good the other 'students' in the room were doing. That crazy guy hitting the balls back certainly wasn't doing her any help; scrambling for the balance beam, the girl cringed under its bulk, flinching at the screech from the speakers in the wall.

"Geez," she muttered, scrambling to her feet. "This place is even crazier than usual."
