Defense vs Prosecution: Laser Tag Edition
APOLLO: Uh… we went to laser tag, which was pretty awesome.
ATHENA: Were your legs sore for like… two days afterwards?
APOLLO: Yes.
ATHENA: So much running up and down slopes.
KLAVIER: There’s actually rules. They were like… “No running! No doing this!” And as soon as it all started I’m like… “Oh I guess nobody’s gonna– OKAY EVERYBODY’S RUNNING! Everybody’s RUNNING! It was like… a battlefield. It was running… and screaming… and diving. It’s basically like… fifteen minutes of running up and down slopes at 45° angles.
APOLLO: And I was sick.
KLAVIER: I said to you before we left, “If you’re sick, let’s not go play fucking laser tag.” He’s like, “nah, I’m fine.”
APOLLO: It’s so fun~.
KLAVIER: So we go play laser tag and we’re on different teams, ‘cause it was… um… prosecutors vs defense attorneys… and others because the teams would be uneven without Kay, Ema, Miss Fey, Trucy and Pearl… that and they wanted to join.
KLAVIER: ANYWAY, one round, about ten minutes in, I turn the corner and I see someone on the floor on the defense team. And I shoot them and run past and then I hear this moaning. I’m like… “Was that Apollo?”. So I walk back around the corner.
APOLLO: Lo and behold, it was me. Dying. On the floor.
KLAVIER: THAT is your own fault. Anyway, I asked him if he was okay, he said that he wasn’t feeling so good. We just started talking and he nods his head. I told him to go sit in the corner and take it easy if he doesn’t feel well. There was this look on his face… I can’t describe it perfectly but he was smiling and just genuinely happy for a moment.
ATHENA: A moment? What happened?
KLAVIER: I–
APOLLO: He shot me in the head and then walked away.
KLAVIER: I needed the points!
APOLLO: Asshole.
