Outdoor Adventure Time!, Tuesday, period 1

[vdistinctive]

The class met up at the edge of the preserve again, this time, where Eliot and Parker waited, wearing white coveralls and safety goggles on their heads. The usual duffel bags of supplies were on the ground by their feet, and accompanied by several large buckets of what looked like balloons.

"Slightly different plan today," Eliot said, when it seemed like everyone was gathered. "We're sticking together as a group."

“If you don’t want to play, you can hide, but really, why would you want to?” Parker would never get that. “Everybody gets a set of coveralls, and goggles. The paint is biodegradable, but let’s not test what it does to your eyes.”

"It does wash outta your hair, though," Eliot said with a wink. "I promise."

What? Those folks with fancy hair had to stick together.

"We'll be hiking out to a clearing before we get started. There are four buckets of paint balloons here, with a few more already tucked away out there, so lots of chances to re-arm yourselves. I guess . . . technically if you come out clean by the end of class you won? But then you probably also didn't have any fun. We're not really plannin' to keep score."

“Grab a color, grab a cover, get ready, go!” Parker was holding a balloon with blue paint.

Yes, Eliot was going to be blue very very soon.

Yeah, he was getting that feeling.

"When we get to the clearing," Eliot said. "I see any balloons flying before then, I will be very put out."

Pbbbbbbttt.

Despair for your hair, Eliot's assurances notwithstanding.

Look, Mabel wasn't going to go looking specifically for the pink and purple balloons, really. It just sort of happened that way.

By accident. Purely. Totally. Really.

She was innocent and nobody could prove otherwise!

Alluka sidled over to Mabel hopefully.

"Hi, Mabel! Will you hit me with a pink one at the clearing?" she asked.

Look, pink was her favourite colour, okay?

Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves

Oh, hey, Alluka was here today! And, because she was Alluka, she had no idea that the fact she'd not shown up for class last week was a thing she ought to apologize to the teachers for.

So she was more concerned a) about her hair and b) about her bunny and c) about deciding what colour of balloons she wanted to go for.

If she went for the pink ones, she'd be able to get other people pink, but if she went for the other colours, maybe she'd end up pink herself and that would be pretty excellent. Much more excellent than throwing pink at people, right?

But what was she supposed to do with her bunny today? She puzzled over it as she walked along.

"You have a bunny too?"

Look, it wasn't every day she found out she had that in common with a student.

Vider anxiously touched her intricate crown of braids, wondering whether she would even be able to get them undone after they were covered in paint. There were benefits to the shorn heads most berserkers sported, to be sure.

Parker caught the gesture, and stopped by her with a sharp look. "Do you want a cap? I think we've got one in here, somewhere."

PAINTBALLLLLL!

[vdistinctive]

Or, you know, PAINT BALLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Re: PAINTBALLLLLL!

If Mabel had her say in the matter, she was going to paint the whole preserve pink and purple by the end of this class. And her classmates. And probably herself. She had to check to see how well the balloons worked, after all.

So, after throwing one up into the air and letting it land on the top of her head (it worked perfectly, and now she had very purple hair), she was ready for action!

"Bring it!"

Re: PAINTBALLLLLL!

[buzzkillcaptain.livejournal.com]

Oh, Mabel. You know better than to say stuff like that around your twin brother.

Right now he was tossing a balloon full of green paint right at you to try and cover up all that purple.

"It's brought!"

Re: PAINTBALLLLLL!

This was, well, interesting. Kaylin armed herself with a large number of balloons and set out to go turn other people different colors.

But then. . . .

[vdistinctive]

Eliot was sticking to the fringes, keeping an eye out to make sure no one . . . put an eye out, basically, when he noticed something lurking along the fringes.

Something large.

He narrowed his eyes, growling faintly under his breath. The thing locked eyes with him in return.



"CLEAR THE WAY!" Eliot bellowed, and charged right back at the thing.

Re: But then. . . .

WHO CHARGES AT A CHARGING BUFFALO-RUG-PUG-THING? Even Mabel could see the crazy inherent in that course of action, Eliot, and she was... she was Mabel.

... That said, from where she was at, staring at all of that charging, (and it was alot of charging), she did have a perfect line of fire to...

"INCOMING!"

To start hurling paint balloons at the big, floppy, angry, hairy-looking creature. Have some pink, alot. Have alot of pink.

Re: But then. . . .

"AAAAAAAAAAH!"

That was Dipper's initial reaction before getting a grim look on his face.

"Flank him!" he shouted running to side and starting to throw paint balloon's.

If only he had a journal entry about this.

"GET IN THE TREES!" Eliot, you were so getting yelled at later. But for now: "WITH YOUR AMMO!"

Talk to the teachers

[vdistinctive]

Eliot might end up very blue, but Parker was going to get coated in green the minute her back was turned.

Re: Talk to the teachers

[whoisalicewhite.livejournal.com]

SPLOOOOSH!

"Really, blue is your color," Parker told Eliot.

Re: Talk to the teachers

[vdistinctive]

Eliot was totally prepared to talk.

So long as there wasn't another alot of aggression lurking around.

Talk to the TAs

[vdistinctive]

Who may or may not have turned funny colors by now.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

Even a telepath can be taken by surprise, so... yep. There was definitely some paint on Toby.

Re: Talk to the TAs

[spin_kick_snap]

Was Kathy wondering whether or not she could outrun flung paint balloons? Absolutely she was.

OOC

[vdistinctive]

If that charging alot doesn't end up an alot of colors, I will be so disappointed.
