Teen Titans Practice Run

[theshortestbird]

Who: The Teen Titans
When: Thursday Night, April 5th, 8:00pm.
Where: Titans' Headquarters in the Warehouse in Sector 11.
Summary: First team building exercise!
Warnings: Possible language.

Red Robin had gone and split the group into pairs. They'd have to learn to work with another person before they could figure out how to work as a team. So, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, he'd picked a pretty good match for everyone.

And by match, that meant everyone was paired with their total opposite, except for one team that was going to be a threesome, since one of their members was not going to be a fighter, but more of a medic.

The Groups:

Mugetsu and Superboy and Cambion {Christina Nickson and Superboy and Kurosaki Ichigo)
Ikol and Oathkeeper (Loki and Sora)
Squinky and Imagine Breaker (Guybrush Threepwood and Kamijou Touma)
White Justice and Darkbeat (Momo Himori and Joe Fieldman)
Peregrinus and Grim Couture (Jack Kelly and Kanaya Maryam)
Blood Rose and Kusunoki Masashige (Amy Sorel and Yosuke Hanamura)
Occupational Hazard and Neophyte (Hiccup and Terezi Pyrope)
Sugar Plum and Red Robin (Ahiru and Tim Drake)

There will be four stations throughout this exercise, with everyone rotating between the warehouse, the docks, a sector ll alleyway, and the Titans' headquarters. There will be three different robots to fight, depending on where your team decides to go.

If they go down to the docks, the robots look like this. The tentacle hands will reach out through the water, and you need to destroy them in any way you can. Cutting them off might do the job, or, might not. The objective is to press the red button in the middle of it's body.

If they go to the warehouse, they can see that parts of the floor are covered in spider robots. These shoot little lasers at you from their eyes, and it's hard to reach them all in one go.

If they go down to any alleyway in Sector 11, they'll find that these robots ready to attack from the shadows. While these robots don't move as fast as the others, they make up for that in how heavy and guarded they can be.

And, lastly, once everyone has worked through the three courses, they can come on up to the Titan's Headquarters, sit back on one of the couches, eat some pizza, drink some soda, and just chill and hang out.

Tim does want to meet with each of you individually,. but don't worry! It's all good. He'll address any issues or concerns one on one.

[ Just a bit, but it wasn't as if Jake was about to comment on it. In fact, Jake didn't actually have a specific metaphor for what the cowl looked like, only having a base familiarity with the concept of condoms to begin with.

Either way, he also had enough familiarity with superheroes to know that this was far from the strangest look one could go for. ]

So we're starting with team building exercises? Outstanding! ... How exactly does one go about doing that?

[theshortestbird]

Well, right now, the ones who were here last time are out fighting specially designed robots. The robots are designed so that the pair has to work as a team to defeat it. If one person tries to do it all, it won't work. The next time we practice, I'll probably split everyone up into two teams, and see how they work, then. [Tim nods.]

[gunsling]

Are they tailored to each duo's skill set then?

[ It's not too hard for Jake to imagine a robot far too strong for him to take out with his bullets alone, but thinking about that one does make him wonder how a partner could even help. ]

[theshortestbird]

They have a choice between two. It's more about putting together a pair with someone who has the skills that the other doesn't, and teaching them how to work together. They can't take out the robots by themselves.

[He waits, putting on one of the security cameras and showing off some of the training on the screen. There was a box on the screen for each pair.]

[gunsling]

[ Jake moves to squint at one of the screens before responding to that comment. ]

Well that's a little presumptuous. I know a boy who could take out almost any robot you threw at him without breaking into even a light sweat.

[theshortestbird]

Trust me. He wouldn't be able to take these out. I have a friend who has super strength as well as invincibility, and he can't take out any of these.

[Said without an smugness. Just honesty.]

[gunsling]

[ An impressed whistle. ]

How's that exactly?

[theshortestbird]

They dampen your power the closer you get to them.

[gunsling]

Not a problem for me then.

[theshortestbird]

Good to hear. [Nods.] So... if you do want to join, we could use some information. Basic stuff, letting us know your fighting skills, your first aid skills, powers... and you need to come up with a superhero name.

<b>Name:</b> <b>Hero Name:</b> <b>Power/Ability:</b> <b>Weapon(s):</b> <b>Martial Arts Training:</b> <b>Computer Skills:</b> <b>First Aid Training:</b>

[gunsling]

A name?

[ Tapping his chin thoughtfully. ]

Not a decision you can make lightly. As far as powers go, I haven't got any as far as I'm aware. But I'm pretty skilled with firearms! And I'm not bad when it comes to hand to hand scuffles if I do say so myself. I've always been able to patch up my own scrapes and cuts!

[ An uncertain pause. ]

I uhm...

[ He looks down, frowning. ]

I reset a broken bone once, but I had to have someone talk me through that one, and I might have blacked out a couple times during it.

((OOC. Should I fill out the chart here :O and if so is there someone I should post the information or is here okay?))

ooc

[theshortestbird]

Could you fill out the chart on the current log? Just so it makes it easier to find it. Thank you!
