XU Team Games

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 3:42 pm

Will Stanton stood in the danger room, decked out in a referee's shirt, awaiting the arrival of the participants.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 3:53 pm

Theresa showed up, dressed in her mission outfit, reasoning that she needed more practice with the cape anyways. "Chief," she said with a nod to Will.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 4:03 pm

Will gave a mock wolf-whistle at the cape. "Good to see you, Theresa."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 4:20 pm

Graham, eager for this, walked in. He had added a hooded green cloak to his XI training suit. It actually looked pretty good on him.

"About time you gave us a chance," he grinned.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 4:35 pm

"Well, I'm still not gonna send you out to fight Doctor Doom, but you never know."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 4:41 pm

"Oh please, Doctor Doom got beat up by Squirrel Girl," Brigid says as she walks up in workout clothes.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 4:48 pm

"And Squirrel Girl could totally take all y'all, so yeah," Will teased.

He walked over to a table, and began fiddling with a few devices.

by **Graham Jaeger** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 4:58 pm

"Do we get any equipment? I'm handy with a bow."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 5:02 pm

"The goal here isn't to hurt anyone, I'm afraid. We're going to be playing campus-wide Capture the Flag!"

by **Kara Vanderbilt** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 5:08 pm

"I heard this is where this years X-Games happen?" Kara smirks as she walks into the room, wearing her leather jacket over a uniform.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 5:40 pm

Bear arrived, dressed in her uniform of black with red trim.

"Capture the flag, huh? Interesting.."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 5:59 pm

"Took the words out of my mouth, Bear."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 6:00 pm

"Losers get to assist the grounds crew with cleanup afterwards?"

by **Graham Jaeger** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 7:48 pm

Will Stanton wrote:"The goal here isn't to hurt anyone, I'm afraid. We're going to be playing campus-wide Capture the Flag!"

"Not even trick arrows? Made by the room?" Graham asked, trying not to sound too disappointed.

How the hell are we supposed to prove anything with lame ass Capture the Flag?

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 7:52 pm

"It's going to be all over campus, he said."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:00 pm

"Be creative, if you really want to show off your stuff."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:04 pm

"Yeah, the Danger Room is fun and all, but sometimes, you need to see how things work in real life.

Besides, you XI kids get enough experience in here with Ryan and Stephanie, yeah?"

by **Graham Jaeger** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:10 pm

"A little hard to show your stuff when you're best skill is f..." he said, fighting back his anger now, "...when you're best skill is off limits."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:50 pm

"Last I checked, Graham, you could turn into an elk, which is a sight faster than a lot of other people are on foot."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:51 pm

"Yeeeeeah, who wants to tackle a charging elk with the flag?"

by **Nash Riley** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 8:55 pm

Nash walked in wearing his new uniform which seemed to be more armored than his previous one. It still had lots of pockets and pouches though, with stuff actually in them.

by **Graham Jaeger** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:00 pm

Graham sighed dejectedly. "Fine. Whatever. Just let me go put this cloak away first so I don't look like total moron," he grumbled as he walked out.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:00 pm

Will sighed and shook his head.

by **Nash Riley** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:04 pm

"What was that about?" Nash asked, having just walked in to catch the end of it.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:06 pm

"He doesn't know how to rock a cape," Theresa said with a shrug.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:08 pm

Murphy walks in, dressed in her mission outfit.

She smiles at Theresa when she sees her. "Hey."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:17 pm

"...okay can I just say that the university kids get way cooler uniforms than Mister Gabriel and Miss Kaltiera let us wear?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:20 pm

"You can say that," Theresa said, obviously admiring Murphy's outfit before responding, "Hey."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:21 pm

"Gotta earn your right to fashion."

by **Haley Crusek** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:23 pm

Haley popped up next to her former roommate her jaw agape at the better uniforms. "No fair at all. Our uniforms suck."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:26 pm

"Like the cape," Murphy says.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:27 pm

Brigid grins at Theresa as if to say 'I told you so.'

by **Byrna Cooper** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:29 pm

"When is the game happening? I might need to change uniforms."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:31 pm

Theresa gives Brigid a not insignificant amount of side-eye before smiling at Murphy, "Thanks. Still getting the hang of it, but I think I like it."

by **Graham Jaeger** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:37 pm

Graham returned, far calmer but looking determined. One hand tied behind his back just meant he'd have to try harder.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 10:20 pm

((Everyone not here, or if you just don't want to post, like, eight characters arriving, just assume you're here unless otherwise noted))

"Great, welcome all, welcome all. It's good to see so many faces here--both old and new.

I thought it might be interesting to do a couple real-world exercises to not only enhance our teamwork, but also have a little bit of fun, right? So, this should be our first annual Capture the Flag contest, right here on campus!

We'll be splitting randomly into two teams, each protecting a few flags. The first team to successfully retrieve all three of their opponent's flags will be declared the winner.

Now, this isn't a combat scenario--you're welcome to get the flags FROM people by any means necessary, but I don't want to see anyone ending up in the infirmary after this. Unnecessary roughness will be flagged and you will be removed from the scenario.

We also have a couple of twists. First and foremost, the two bases--one at the top of the lighthouse, and the other in the ballroom-come-dining hall on the opposite side of campus--have been rigged to block teleportation within 50 yards--no popping in, grabbing the flag, and popping out. Once you get past those 50 yards, however, feel free to skip running across campus, if you can.

Secondly, you can convey the flags in any manner you see fit. However, thanks to a piece of technology designed by our wonderful tech team, any flag removed from base AND not in someone's hands for five seconds will vanish, and reappear in the initial base. So, keep a hang on those flags!

Any questions before we split up?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 10:23 pm

"...so I'm guessing the unnecessary roughness flags don't count as flags for scoring," Brigid smirks.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 10:24 pm

"If you can convince myself or Professor Weaver or Professor Sackville or any of the other referees otherwise, maybe," Will laughed.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 10:27 pm

"Are you just randomly splitting us up into teams or is there a method to the madness?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Nov 03, 2014 10:28 pm

"I have a big bag of headbands! Two different colors and everything."
