Arts & Crafts, Monday [6-23], Period 2, Front Lawn of the School

After checking himself out of the clinic, Steve stood at the edge of a large, tarp-covered area as he waited for the students to assemble. He was dressed in paint-splattered sweats and a t-shirt with 'ARMY' emblazoned across the chest, and grinning broadly, despite the already-fading bruises on his face. In the middle of the tarps was a large piece of canvas, firmly secured to the ground. Around the perimeter was a lot of paint of many colors in various delivery devices. There were paint-filled Super Soakers and water pistols, paint balloons, and pans of paint. The students had been handwavily notified to wear clothes they wouldn't mind ruining and meet him here.

"Now, I know it's been a very busy and stressful weekend. So I thought you'd like something fun and silly for our final workshop together. So we will be working on a piece of collaborative art. Which is to say...

"PAINT FIGHT!"

"Serves you right for being sneaky," said Hoshi, giggling. "I could hear you from a mile away."

"Sneakiness is the name of the game," he called out, grinning at her giggling. "I seriously doubt that." Because he had no idea about her sensitive hearing.

He fired in her general direction as he ran to duck and roll behind a shrub.

Hoshi ducked as well, just barely missing the shot coming towards her. She hid behind a tree, her back turned so she couldn't see what Johnny was doing. Not that she really needed to see. "You might want to keep the noise down a little. I can hear the leaves rustling over there," she yelled.

He glanced down. "I meant to do that! Make noise. Head on competition is best, don't you think?"

"It's not really my thing. I hid in my room all day yesterday instead of going off with all the fighters," said Hoshi. "Now, determining your movements based on what direction your voice is coming from? I'm much better at that."

She stepped out from behind her tree and fired a shot in Johnny's direction.

"Bring it o--HEY!" She got him, in the shoulder. "Ready or not..."

Johnny believed in full head on collision stuff. It was fun!

He started firing, fast, running towards the spot he thought she was.

Hoshi laughed when she got him, but didn't have long to celebrate because suddenly there was paint flying at her. She shrieked as the first shot hit her, then ducked back behind her tree.

"That tree can't save you!" He laughed and charged. "I love blue paint, don't you?"

"I think red is more my color. Don't you think so?" asked Hoshi, staying behind her tree. Her Super Soaker was out of paint and she was trying to figure out what to do next.

Poor thing.

Johnny's was not out. Johnny was having fun. It was an energy release that he sorely needed, especially if he was going to get through the rest of his day.

"I see you!" he sing-songed and came barreling around her tree, firing away.

And Hoshi got covered in paint. "Alright, you got me, and I'm out of paint," she said with a chuckle, putting her hands up.

"Yes, you did," said Hoshi, wiping the paint off her face. "This was fun! It's too bad we don't have paint fights in more classes, though I'll probably need a shower after this."

"I could always burn mine off but then I would be standing here naked. And I'm sure you'd rather not see that."

Er.

"Oh, I wouldn't mind," said Hoshi.

She paused.

"But burning paint doesn't sound like a good thing, right?" she added, her face turning pink.

"I would burn it off," he clarified, his eyes full of amusement.

"But paint is flammable, right?" asked Hoshi. "It would be one big fireball. Of course, you'd probably survive that, but..."

She was trying to ignore how warm she was feeling.

Johnny just grinned. "Sweetheart, I can go Supernova. I can burn anything, and anything flammable I just absorb."

"That would, um, definitely make clean-up easier," said Hoshi. "Think I'll stick with soap and water myself."

Re: Paint Fight!

[identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com 2008-06-23 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Easier but it would leave me, as I said, in the nude."

What? Johnny could say stuff if he wanted.

Which brought that mental image back into Hoshi's mind. "Yeah, because clothes are flammable, aren't they? And that would be a bad thing. I know, because I had to walk back to the dorms naked that one time, and it was not a lot of fun because all these squirrels were staring and taking notes, even if it did get me an A in Barney's class and, um, I'll shut up now."

He laughed. "Hey, nothing wrong with nudity," he said, not having an ounce of modesty. "If you got it, flaunt it. Just... I think Mr. Rogers might demand I find something to put on, you know?"

Re: Paint Fight!

[identity profile] itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com 2008-06-23 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, yeah," said Hoshi, still blushing. "And, um, your girlfriend might have an issue with that too."

Re: Paint Fight!

[identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com 2008-06-23 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
His smile instantly fell and Johnny dropped his eyes from her. "Yeah, well... I wouldn't be so sure about that."

Hoshi had definitely noticed earlier that Savannah and Johnny were not as talkative as usual. "Did you want to talk about what happened?" she asked.
