Distraction Group: Leo, Roy, Percy, Annabeth

[stagethreeclinger]

[[ ooc; your plotting post is here ]]

[stagethreeclinger]

[ 'Distraction' is pretty much Roy's specialty, honestly. And really? He could have come in here sans weapons completely and managed. He is so obnoxious it's a talent. But having the weapons, especially the ones that flash and go boom, definitely doesn't hurt. Which is pretty much what's going on while he's sticking a glob of something vaguely bomb-ish looking to a door, stepping back a few paces, and then giving one of the stylish quick turn things to shoot an arrow at it.

Door go big badda boom. Wood pieces errywhar. Also smoke. WEEEE. Michael Bay, eat your heart out. And here's Roy giving a gigglesnort back at Leo, Percy and Annabeth. ]

I didn't really need to shoot it. Just cooler that way. Totally could've used the remote.

[sophos]

[This is not exactly what Annabeth had been hoping for with the whole distraction part of this invasion. Technically, it serves exactly that purpose; she just wish they hadn't gone so big so fast.]

[And she's about to vocalize her gripe with it, when she hears the sounds of running. Percy and Leo are too busy being distracted by the distraction themselves, and she's pretty sure Roy's still basking over it. She slides on her cap and disappears, just in time for three guards to cough their way through the smoke of the explosion.]

[Before they can call out and sound more alarms, Annabeth's behind them, slamming the hilt of her knife into the back of one of them, sending him to the ground. The other two look over at their fallen comrade, but it's barely ten seconds later before the both of them go down, too.]

Way to go, genius! [She doesn't come back into sight, listening carefully for the sounds of anyone else that might have been lured over by the explosion. There's bound to be more, and better to keep the advantage she has right now.] We need to move, unless we want to get caught before anything else.

[kelpful]

Dude. [There's a big fat grin on Percy's face right now] Definitely cooler. Could you like--

[He breaks off the second Annabeth slides her hat on. Roy might be surprised to note that Percy pulls out not a weapon, but a ballpoint pen - at least, that's what it looks like, up until the moment he uncaps the pen and it morphs into a sword in his hand.] Uh oh.

[Before he can to anything to help, though, Annabeth's already taken care of it. Percy gives her a look of mixed pride and annoyance] Show off.

[That's directed at her. Not Roy, who just shot a detonator with an arrow. Totally Annabeth]

[fotia]

[Leo looks equally impressed, almost excited really, because he is totally going to ask Roy what the components to the bomb are and can they please make some more when this is all over because how cool is that.

And then Annabeth has disappeared, and so Leo steps back. He's not exactly willing to use his fire powers in front of someone he barely knows, but he readies himself, just in case.

...Which apparently isn't at all needed, because Annabeth knocks the guards out in no time. THANKS, SISTER IN SCIENCE. He looks pretty relieved that it's over just as quick and puts on a smile, then claps his hands together.]

So! Close call, huh?

[stagethreeclinger]

[ Leo bb he will talk your face off about components and they can make them all day for as long as supplies last.

With the sound of footfalls approaching, Roy's casually notching an arrow, still grinning from his super awesome explosion, and he had been raising the bow to take out some kneecaps, but then Annabeth is invisible and doing invisible things. Okay, well, that works too. She gets a snort and an eyeroll for the scolding and he shrugs. ]

Uh, yeah, you're welcome - what kind of distractions are you guys used to?

[ Granted, the Outlaws tends to be considered somewhere around clinically insane, and if there isn't a field of tanks chasing them, it's not really that much of a distraction. W/e w/e, it's all gravy. He just shoots the others a wide grin as he starts making his way down another hallway - like Annabeth said, they need to move. ]

The Lord doth sayeth - go big or go home.

[sophos]

[Percy gets an invisible punch for the show-off remark.]

The smart kind, when we have a say in it. [She snaps it.] The aftermaths of which we're more prepared to deal with. The kind that won't get us caught before we're done.

[But she's already moving, too, still invisible; one less perpetrator seen by the guards, the better. But they should probably get a little further away, before setting off any other bombs. Or anything else. This is her plan, at least.]

[Really, explosions are standard. But when given the opportunity, more control pls.] The more locations we can hit up, the better. The guards will be more scattered that way, once it becomes more clear there's people who aren't supposed to be here.

[Though it's abundantly clear that Roy falls into the Percy-and-Leo form of distraction, and she starts trying to figure out how to work with that, too.]

[kelpful]

Hey, ow. [The others can't see what hit him, but Percy doesn't seem bothered or surprised. He just grins at where he assumes his girlfriend is.

He turns back to Roy, walking easily backwards as they get on the move] We try for the smart kind. But we also have wide an varied experience with the dumb kind, the desperate kind, and the exploding kind.

[And then more seriously] Annabeth's right, though. There are pipes all through this place though, and fountains everywhere. Plenty of ammo for me.
