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!

Aggressive negotiations? That was pretty much what she trained for.

Yang laughed gleefully as she grabbed a paintball gun and stuck it in her belt. And promptly proceeded to activate her Ember Celica and fill the ammo slots with paintball pellets -- three to a chamber -- before pouring extra paintball pods into her ammo pouches. Reloading her gauntlets was going to be difficult since these weren't actual ammunition, but she had the gun for backup and had the advantage in that she was an excellent marksman.

It was entirely possible that there was going to be yellow paint everywhere.

"Incoming!"

It probably went against the whole concept to alert someone when you were shooting at them, Sidon.

Especially when that little red pellet of paint was barely even close to hitting your intended target.

"Errm, nevermind!"

Pity they weren't paint-bow-and-arrows, otherwise he'd be painting the whole town red.

Yang dodged easily, still laughing. "You just threw away your shot!" she teased, bringing up her left arm and firing paintballs in his direction. "Hope you look good in yellow!"
