Paintball! Thursday, June 1, 2023
The Tony!Pony was in a pony-sized clear hamster ball, looking decidedly grumpy about it. "I am not giving you another bath when you wander through the paintball line of fire," Steve was explaining as the participants arrived.
"Hey," he said, smiling. "Tony's still a pony, but fortunately we have these giant plastic balls from last year, so everyone can join him in their own balls. You might be wondering how that works for paintball, but don't worry. I've put a bunch of paint buckets all over the course. If you hit one--or make someone else hit one--and drop the paint on their ball, they're eliminated."
His smile widened. "It'll be fun!"
Well, if you signed up for paintball, you already knew Steve's idea of fun.

Stark was probably doomed.

Re: Paintball!
And then Summer actually got into her ball and almost immediately felt uncomfortable in a way that she, having had more than enough therapy to recognize such things, realized that she was maybe sort of having a bit of a PTSD reaction to being confined in a bubble-like space with the immediate threat of things around her going on.
Was she going to let that stop her? Fuck no. She was just going to breathe out and be glad that these hamster balls weren't so Tony Stark tech-esque as to have voice modules in some capacity. And also remind herself that it was just a fucking hamster ball, she'd been in much worse and even tighter restrained quarters before, Jesus, brains were dumb. But it definitely left her pretty distracted and paying attention to the wrong things, to the point where she'd almost be grateful once someone managed to get paint all over her ball.

The creepy little grin on his face as he rolled past probably wasn't helping anything, either, huh.
Re: Paintball!
He was going to feel SO guilty if he knocked her into a paint bucket.
Re: Paintball!
Re: Paintball!
Sure, Anakin.
Re: Paintball!
Re: Paintball!
And yet.
Re: Sign in 6/1
Re: Paintball!
So she was very pleasantly surprised that she ended up winning.
Re: Paintball!
Stark couldn't see the bucket he was headed towards because he'd turned toward Anakin and it was on his blind side.
WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
Re: Paintball!
Because that bucket was definitely tipping.
