Outdoor Adventure Time!, Tuesday, period 1
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.

Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
By accident. Purely. Totally. Really.
She was innocent and nobody could prove otherwise!
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
"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
Because that was clearly the best way to be, right?
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
"Yay!" she said happily. "I don't know what colours to throw at other people though. Pink is the best, but if I want to be pink, should I use a different colour for others?"
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
"That would probably work the best," she decided. "Every pink balloon you have is a pink balloon that definitely won't hit you, after all. What about yellow? Yellow is bright and happy!"
Except on triangles.
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
Alluka might not quite get the idea of the game. Shhh.
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
Except possibly Dipper, who likely had the same triangle trauma as Mabel. Details.
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
"I'll do that, then," Alluka decided, since Mabel had pretty much decided it for her. "Will you be happy to be yellow?"
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
Because being happy would make Alluka happy, presumably.
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
"You're the bestest, Mabel," Alluka said, and beamed.
She bounced alongside Mabel for a few moments before asking, "Are you busy tomorrow?"
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
"Then," she said, "will you please come shopping with me and Ringo tomorrow?"
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
This wasn't strictly true, but she did know what was cute, and hanging out with Alluka and Ringo (who she didn't know, but that didn't matter in the least) did sound like a lot of fun. So!
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
"You shop for a job?" she asked, impressed.
That was what professional meant, wasn't it? That you had it as a job?
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
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.
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
Look, it wasn't every day she found out she had that in common with a student.
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
"Yes," she said happily. "And, and even though only my bunny came with me to here, I now have a giraffe and a talking panda too!"
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
Well, one of her homes. The safehouse warehouse, and all.
"Does the panda talk to other people or just you?"
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
"My panda talks to everyone," she said, pleased. "She can wave her arms around too! But my bunny and giraffe just talk to me."
Re: Listen to the lecture/hike to the clearing/talk amongst yourselves
"Cool," Parker said, smiling approvingly. "You should maybe put your bunny in a backpack or... hmmm." How to make it so the bunny would get painted? Parker frowned. "We could tie her to you, under the coverall? So she won't get splashed?"
