You turn around and reach under the unbalanced stack of file folders to reach for the ray gun. As you pull it out, some of the file folders topple, falling off the table, spilling their contents. You turn around and brandish the ray gun in front of the two girls.
"Oh my God! He has a gun!" shrieks Tara, as she stretches her arms up to the sky, dropping her water bottle in the process. The impact of the fall causes the lid of the water bottle to pop open, the pale green liquid inside spilling out onto the floor.
"Relax," says Marcy, "that's not a real gun..." she says to reassure her friend before turning her attention back to you. "So? It's a toy gun..." she says, taking another sip from her water bottle, shuddering ever so slightly as whatever concoction that was inside was a little stronger than she had anticipated.
"No, this is not a real gun," you explain, "at least not in the traditional sense.
