About a half a second after the airhorn sounds there is a loud, metal clink and the sound of something being pulled taut. And then a small opening appears all along the wall and a thin metal wire zips across the arena at ankle height.
Gilbert tries to hop up from a sitting position but manages only to levitate his butt maybe 2 inches in the air before slamming back down on his tailbone and then losing his balance and toppling over and into the water below. Mason sees the wire coming and leaps straight up as hard as he can. He clears the wire and then lands chest first on the metal beam, arms and legs flailing off on either side. His impressive bellyflop knocks the wind straight out of him, but he remains on the beam. Bubba doesn't even see the wire coming. It sweeps by him like a hot knife through butter and cuts him clean off his feet; quite literally, it severs both of his feet and sends him face down onto the bar.
Larry sees the wire coming and, from an almost laying position on the bar, pushes himself up into the air with both hands and feet and then comes back down after it passes under him, completely uninjured and doing fine. He takes Aim at Navarro, who has also just leap over the wire, and squeezes off his last shot. It goes wide and misses Navarro by more then two feet. Destio sees the wire coming and his feet clear it, but his shield doesn't. He keeps hold of the shield and the impact drags him off the beam and throws him several feet. His shield catches in the corner of one of the grid spaces, supported across the two converging beams, with him below it, hanging on for dear life.
look up.
Yeah, there's definitely an airhorn somewhere up in the rafters.
There's a few places near you, most of them fusion joints; Indo-mexo-venusian and Austro-martian and the like.
See if there's one that looks nice, but not excessively expensive. Check whether one can reserve a table online. Send Holly a message asking whether she's available sometime after this episode of DMR.
The Chateau de Senor Ganesh looks pretty good. You reserve a table and send a message to Holly about dinner.
Fire another shot at Navarro. Try to figure out what the airhorn was all about.
(I'm not sure how many more shots you've got.)
You fire again, and this time the shot clips him, raising a little burst of blood from his left arm where it cut a shallow gash. He screams and grabs his arm and then yells something inaudible up at the stands.
