Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, August 18, 2021

[sith_happened]

Anakin was back in his accustomed spot in the center of the park, surrounded by piles of t-shirts and something that looked slightly like water pistols.

Judging by the many colors Beaker was splashed in, they weren't just water pistols.

There was also an extensive obstacle course set up throughout the park, complete with pits, snare traps, sniper nests, and bunkers.

Had he blatantly stolen all of the best ideas from a summer of paintball classes?

Yes. Yes, he had.

In the center of the obstacle course was a flagpole with a blue and yellow gremlin flag flying high.

"For our final meeting," he began, "we will be working in teams to capture that flag! Navigate the obstacle course while your competitors shoot at you with these--" he lifted up a water gun, "--vintage 1980s disappearing ink guns!"

Judging by Beaker, that ink didn't disappear that fast.

"Meep meep meep meep!"

Anakin glanced down. "Oh. Well. Using these vintage water guns that have been filled with printer ink!"

So, the most expensive ammunition on the planet.

"Listen for your names!"

"Wait... what???" Dwight glanced at the gremlins warily.

"Mm." Hannibal nodded. "It's far from deadly, but it's rather unpleasant."

Then he shot Dwight while his back was turned.

They may have just been water guns but they still made a good bit of noise. Dwight's ears picked up on it and he spun around and lunged to the side, avoiding the shot. As he crouched on the ground he stared at Hannibal.

"Oh now THAT was a mistake" he said as he shot back, still crouching down.

Hannibal had been moving as soon as he shot, and he chuckled as he dodged in turn. "As a friend, I warned you about the gremlins. But I'm still not on your team."

He ran behind and around one of the bunkers, whirling around to shoot again.

"Touché" Dwight said as he ducked behind one of the other bunkers just in time to hear the splatter impact of the shot.

He paused for a moment then leaned out from behind the cover and fired again in Hannibal's general direction.

Hannibal waited for the sound of ink splatting to finish, then popped back up and shot at Dwight.

Dwight tried to duck out of the way and almost made it. Almost.

He felt the cold splat of the ink and looked down seeing the green ink spreading across the shirt. With a sigh he shook his head and held his hands up as he looked across the way at Hannibal.

"Ok you got me...." he started and then laughed as he sent another round of ink towards Hannibal, hoping to catch him off guard.
