Paintball!, Friday, May 21, 2021 [6th period]

[imafuturist]

The course had changed over the week--few barriers to hide behind, for one, and a few more spots to climb up and snipe from, but only if you got up there before someone hit you. The water balloons full of paint had stayed, though: Steve and Tony had immediately noticed how competitive this group was and had decided to stay away from weapons that left bruises for now.

"Just a reminder," Steve began, "that once you've been hit with paint, you can no longer hit someone else with paint to eliminate them."

Anakin. He's so disappointed in you.

"So try to make it a mutual elimination rather than, well, cheating," Tony suggested. Again, so disappointed, Anakin. But he didn't have those Captain America super powers of disappointment.

"So suit up, grab some paintballs, and get ready to have fun!"

Lydia once more suited up in a jumpsuit -- she had been smart enough to not wear a hat or veil or anything today -- and hurried off to climb up into a tree to snipe from.

Hiding had worked pretty well last week!

Re: Paintball!!

Troy had learned a few important lessons about paintball last week:

1) No rolling around with ammo on your belt
2) Watch out for that Steve guy

So this week, his strategy was to mostly camp out behind some barricades, occasionally glancing over or around them for any targets in sight and, when there wasn't any, dashing over to the next one and doing the same, back to the barricade so no one could sneak-shot him or something...

All SEAL snipers made their own ghillie suits for the best kind of camouflage while out on an operation. Was it entirely extra to bring it to a paintball class? Very definitely.

Had Steve done it anyway? Check.

He found himself a nice little perch in a tree and was taking out classmates with ruthless efficiency--aiming for Lana first.

Re: Paintball!!

[knife_bender]

Diego was under the assumption that he would not be taken out by Five so easily today (he was wrong). He was hoping that maybe he could outrun the teleporting?

He ran by the tree Steve was in, a balloon in each hand. "Steve, you look really cool!"

Of course he thought Steve looked cool.

Re: Paintball!!

[grenadesandohana]

"Thanks, brah!" Steve said, throwing a balloon deliberately over his head. Because they were buddies.

Re: Paintball!!

[unusual_sith]

Lana was good - she knew she was, and she'd won last week, and she'd made sure not to get overconfident.

None of which helped, apparently, if you had made yourself a target.

"Damn." She sighed, but gave Steve an only slightly sullen salute.

And marked him for future. He had Started It.

Re: Paintball!!

[grenadesandohana]

Steve saluted back, then went on to find another victim.

Mwahaha.

Re: Paintball!!

[sith_happened]

Okay, so even Anakin felt slightly guilty under the power of Steve's Disappointed Look, and so he tucked that can of paint he'd brought somewhere away from the main course. He was still ready to play for keeps, though.

Re: Paintball!!

[knife_bender]

Diego had hid last week and got taken out almost immediately. This weeks strategy was to keep moving, trying to hopefully be able to keep a better eye on Five.

Clearly this would go great.

Re: Paintball!!

[stykera]

Stark totally remembered this class before 2 minutes ago when paintball came up in conversation omg really just wanted to hit Anakin again. That wasn't so much to ask, was it?

Today's hiding spot was maybe not a good as least week's though. Maybe. He did have that whole blind right side thing to deal with, too.

Re: Paintball!!

[sith_happened]

Anakin was taking shameless advantage of that, sneaking up and then pelting Stark with at least ten balloons.

Overkill? Very definitely. But he hadn't used the bucket of paint, so Steve couldn't get mad, right?

Re: Paintball!!

[stykera]

There was now a surprised, annoyed, and rainbow-splattered Banik staring at Anakin in dismay.

"ANAKIN." Anakin, why. That was so much paint, Anakin. So much.

Re: Paintball!!

[sith_happened]

Anakin laughed. "I win."

Until McGarrett sniped him from the tree in a minute, at least.

Re: Paintball!!

[stykera]

"Oh, frell you."

That summed up Stark's feelings nicely, really.

Re: Paintball!!

[sith_happened]

"Try again next week?" Anakin suggested oh-so-helpfully.

Re: Paintball!!

[stykera]

"If I can clean this paint off by then."

And plot his revenge. So much colorful revenge.

Talk to the Teachers

[imafuturist]

Who were also covered in paint by now.
