Who: Maya, open
Where: All over Campus
When: January Catch-all
What: Some Maya Activities
Important Link: Maya's Permissions

A. Waitress
Maya's taken a few extra shifts at Hog's Swill, waiting tables and delivering drinks. Taking a bit extra pleasure sneaking up on tables as she starts putting their drinks down without much comment.

If you terrify the patrons they don't hit on you.

She's also occasionally taking a turn behind the bar, learning to mix drinks. Because knowing about drink mixing might be good if she has to play any dive bars. Thus far she hasn't gotten a chance to play music here.

Yet.

B. Shooting Range
Maya's ability to handle a basic training firearm has improved to the point she's considering live fire weapon training. She hasn't done it yet, but she's considering it.

She's in the shooting range four times a week now, with fairly solid groupings compared to earlier.

C. Designing Guns for Dummies
Maya's been sitting in the Banquet Hall fairly often with one of her notebooks, and a page open.

It is not music or lyrics, which would be the normal thing for her to have open.

It is a list of features, for a weapon. She knows a guy who could make her a gun if she asked him. And the staff let him. Really what was he thinking handing out rocket launchers!? Still, fighting the end of the world would eventually need a gun, if she's comfortable shooting at living things. Which- she thinks she is but she hasn't tested this yet.
Her list, so far:
- Lightweight
- Magic bullets, not a magic gun
- Limit muzzle flash
- Some sort of stun/non-lethal bullets too??
- Not a sniper rifle, can't hear at this distance.
- Not an automatic weapon, too jarring.


Offer her some advice, before she takes this idea to Rex and gives him any other ideas.

D. Stealth Suit Up
Maya's wandering around campus in her stealth suit, the stealth on. She's somewhat clumsy so she might make herself apparent if you let her near a table or anything. Or if you can use a sense other than hearing to tell someone is around.

Call out this child as she is bad at spying.

Or maybe Maya is just there, in the background, watching as something happens. She won't make herself apparent if it'd be super awkward to just reveal she's there. She is avoiding the places were spying would be wrong so it's just hallways and classrooms.

So she can always see something she shouldn't see.

W.ildcard
Maya will, without fail avoid the most magically loud sections of campus. The underground hydroponic garden, the forge, wherever people are causing massive explosions.

Maya is usually one of the only people who can sneak up on Rex, but this time he's decided to flip the script. He was doing his usual shady business (all his business is shady), carrying around large unmarked bags of... stuff and had passed Maya on his way to... wherever he was going.

He'd barely seen the telltale shimmer of her stealth mode, but it was enough. He made a mental note of her distance and predicted her motions but didn't break stride. Just put a hand in his pocket (since the pocket was technically another dimension, he figured it would at least muffle him casting a spell) and teleported back the way he came, right behind Maya. Not flash, no portal. Just there one second and not the next. Or in front? He's 75% sure he's behind her.

"Hey," he says, nice and casual.

John is new here but he caught a glimpse of that list and if it was really private, she wouldn't be doing it in the Banquet Hall, right? Right.

"If you can get a hold of rubber bullets and have someone enchant them with an electric discharge, you basically get taser bullets, pretty sure. And the bullet itself shouldn't bleed off any charge from the target since rubber doesn't conduct."
