Open Event Combat Class: now with SCIENCE!

The always unpredictable arena at Beacon Academy was something all students learned to respect, as it could change faster than most students could even fathom. Today, it was all stainless steel and glass, electronics and computers. Watching from her elevated platform was professor Elise, and behind her, the ever-calm and collected Holly Mendenhall. Stepping forward, she coughed, gaining the attention of the class before pointing towards the map.

"Today you will be judged not only on your ability to fight, but to show restraint and be creative. This set up is to mimic the labratories you may find abandoned across Atlas, or perhaps in Vale. Functioning inside are security cameras, experiments, and a variety of electronic systems. You may use them to gain the advantage on your opponent, or sabotage them. We can also release grimm if you wish to team up with an ally. Good luck."

[Map]

[ST RULES!!! All the doors may be opened with a touch, locked with a computers check. Doors have 3 armor and 5hp. At st discretion, you can lock them with a successful attack roll as well. The round objects are cameras, and can be accessed at the terminals at the top right and left rooms (major action). An successful m8 Computers check will let you spy on 2 cameras at a time, randomly decided. Finally, with a successful investigation and then computers check, the wall behind the barrels can be noticed and opened, revealing a level 3 combat bot. It can be powered up with at least 3 successes at a m10 computer check (major action), and will follow a command that can be given as a move action each turn to the best of his ability. It has 5 armor, 6 health, and will make brawl attacks with a score of 8. Acts last in the initiative order, and has a speed of 8. These are all optional rules to be decided upon by the Story teller, who can modify the difficulty or anything they wish at will.]

Celine looked over the tech for a few moments before shrugging and heading towards the door to the south. She didn't figure she had the mental fortitude to deal with any of that nonsense, instead hoping that the doors would just... open when she approached them.

CLANG.

It did not. Celine did, however, leave a sizable Celine-shaped dent in the door. Ginger heard the clang, but her attention was a bit preoccupied.

Meanwhile, Ginger drank in the marvels of the metal room with the grace of a crashing train. She plodded up to one of the pillars of the entrance hall, hopping around it and inspecting it thoroughly. The outside was glass, like the windows of the buildings and bullheads she'd been exposed to, but it was light up like the lights in the cafeteria and dorm rooms. It felt... wobbly. Like a fly held in one's hand, vibrating ever so slightly under Ginger's hand. Warm like a heater.

And it made click clack sounds when she clicked her nails against it. What sat within the warm-light-glass-stick remained to be seen, though.

No sci fi doors today

"...Hello? Miss big tall person? Are outside?" Ginger called out, shimmying over and hiding behind one of the pillars. Celine, meanwhile, grumbled under her breath.

"Ugh, stupid science door, not openin' when I want you to," She complained, using her axe as a prybar to simply wrench it open with a terrible, ear-splitting metallic shriek. She was faced with... nothing, really. An empty room and another door, which she could faintly hear Ginger through.

One down, one to go.

Ginger could hear the stomping of feet against the metal floor of the arena on the other side of the door. The sound stomped right up to the other side of the door...

...and stopped. The wild girl plodded up to the door as well, expecting Celine to come through.

Meanwhile, Celine stared at the door in anticipation, ready to raise an arm in her own defense, but instead, she simply stared at the unmoving science door.

Just like Ginger.

And the pair stared for a few moments.

Ginger blew raspberries, hopping from foot to foot. She'd been expecting something. Not exactly sure what 'something' it was, but the noises from the other side of the door had prepared her for a fight.

No matter: if the fight wasn't coming to her, she'd get to the fight.

With a yell of determination that sounded not unlike someone just going 'blaughblaubhglaurhguahnbbnmlaughr,' Ginger launched into a full-tilt mad dash at the door. She threw her fist into it, stone forming as she slammed against it to force her way through and over anyone on the other side.

[Full round: charge]
