Do you know what's a fun thing to do when it's freezing cold and snowing outside? Paintball.

Well, at least if you're Anakin.

"Welcome to aggressive negotiations," he said with a grin. "This is paintball, a game on this planet where you shoot paint pellets at each other while shouting mocking things."

The shouting part was not optional, as far as Anakin knew.

"Sometimes your negotiations will disintegrate into chaos, and while running away and issueing a blistering press release is an option, shooting people with paint is so much more fun," Anakin concluded. "Suit up, choose your weapon, and attack!"

He coughed.

"I mean. Negotiate. With weapons."

Re: Shoot Each Other!

Sidon had never held a gun in his hands before, though he'd certainly seen them used (and had his life saved by one) since coming here. He guessed it was quite a bit different, since this one shot paint instead of bullets, but it was still exciting to be giving such a powerful thing a try.

The tree that got covered in splats of paint as Sidon got the hang of it, however, was probably not as excited.

He wasn't so sure he'd be able to really shoot his friends, but he was eager to try. And he probably made quite the target himself, especially in the pink fluffy coat that had become a necessity for him when going outside these days.
