WHO: Anyone who signed up (or wants to pretend they signed up and join in anyway)
WHAT: Laser tag!
WHEN: {Backdated} Saturday, September 12; noonish
WHERE: Laser tag place across from Colligo University
RATING: PG-13 (nothing too graphic/violent, folks!)
NOTES: Okay, this is the thread for the laser tag event. Please note that there are going to be three sub-threads within this post for people to reply to once they are 'on the battlefield'. One will be for Topher's team (Team Awesome), one will be for Claire's team (Team More Awesome), and one will be for when the teams meet-up in battle (Team Encounters). If you aren't sure which team your character is on, feel free to just drop them onto either team! If you want to reply to the set-up, just reply to this initial post. And by all means, feel free to break off into smaller threads between two or three characters within the sub-threads, if you'd like. All we ask if that no one 'shoots' another character without that player's permission. Also, in the name of fairness, we have decided that the teams are going to tie. And with that, everyone enjoy!

There was just the first hint of autumn in the air as Claire stepped out of the manager's office and onto the laser tag field. Her green-eyed gaze swept across the expanse of land, taking in the sight of the various trees, shrugs, and other devices meant to offer natural cover for those participating in the event. There was a definite air of excitement about her as she all but bounded off the playing area and back into the building to gather up supplies and wait for the teammates to arrive.

Personally, she was a little shocked that something so massive had been born from what had started as a fairly innocuous conversation over the message boards. She supposed people simply wanted to do something that was fun, and the fact that others were willing to organize the event made it all the more appealing. She just hoped that she'd done a decent enough job at organizing that people didn't wind up disappointed.

And that her team won, of course. Because she really did want to win.

With a grin, the blonde pulled her hair back into a ponytail and glanced at her watch. It was almost noon. People should be arriving soon. Bouncing a bit on her toes, she went over her mental checklist one last time then glanced toward the door as it swung open to reveal one of the first arrivals.

Castiel did not know what to expect. He had read the literature provided and understood the object of the activity perfectly fine but there was much of the specifics that made very little sense to him. The only other person in the area was a young female human. He walked up to her.

"My name is Castiel," he said to Claire. "I put myself forward to participate in laser tag. I believe I am on Team More Awesome. Are you my commanding officer?

Claire had thought, when Castiel first responded to her post on the message boards about laser tag, that he'd spoken a bit... oddly. At the time, she'd simply assumed that he just wasn't used to using a PDA and chatting freely in such a public forum. Seeing as there were people from all different points in time and realities within Colligo, she hadn't thought it was overly odd.

Now, however, she realized that it wasn't his lack of familiarity with how to typically communicate over a public message board. Castiel simply had a very unique way of speaking.

Not that it mattered. Claire wasn't going to judge someone just for wording things oddly and she certainly wasn't going to start peppering one of her fellow teammates with curious questions about why. Instead she simply smiled brightly at his greeting and replied in a light tone.

"It's nice to meet you, Castiel. I'm Claire and..." She hesitated, giving a soft, somewhat self-conscious laugh as she shuffled her feet a bit. "Well, I don't know about 'commanding officer'. I've never really commanded much of anything before, but I am the one who did the recruiting for my team."

Truthfully, she was planning on asking her dad, or possibly Jim, to lead the team once everyone had arrived. However as she wasn't sure either would agree - knowing her luck they'd both think it was some great life lesson for her to be the one to do it - she didn't want to state such a thing. So instead she re-focused on Castiel and asked curiously, "So I guess since you read the information that you've never played before. Do you have any questions or anything?"

"The team will need a leader," he said. "If not you then some experienced officer."

Castiel cast his eyes about the peaceful landscape. He was an experiences soldier but his battles tended not to take place on the ground and his strategic skills would have to be adapted on the go. He hoped his leader would have a better idea of how to use the landscape than he did.

"What are the terms of victory?" he asked Claire finally.

Scorpius found his way to the required spot, having already apparated to the university. It didn't take him very far to walk. As he crossed over, he waved at a young blond woman. Wow, she was hot. Okay, focus, he mentally said to himself, focus on the event..

"Err..hi. You're.. Claire, right?" He paused. "I'm Scorpius. Scorpius Malfoy. Reporting for duty, ma'am, ready to help kick arse for Team More Awesome."
