Paintball, 1st Period - Monday

[imafuturist]

Were your teachers a little too excited to be out by the abandoned campsite with paintball equipment and protective jumpsuits for everyone? Well, yes, but it was summer and summer meant the annual "Fandom takes this class far too seriously" workshop and Steve Rogers, at least, was thrilled about it. "Welcome to paintball!" he said, beaming at them.

"If this is your first time playing, we'll be starting out easy with just the basics," Tony added. "And we'll move into more exciting game modes with each class."

Enjoy the paint sniper rifles in later weeks, folks.

"Today it's just you, the course, and the paintball pistols we've provided. Each one has six shots, but we've been nice and hidden ammunition around the course," Steve said, waving to the paint-stained campground. "Use the buildings as protection or for vantage points if you can get up faster than your classmates can shoot you. You have five minutes to change into your protective gear, then it's every person for themselves." He grinned. "Tony and I, as always, will also be participating."

"Just have fun with it," Tony said like he could prevent some people from going nuts. He could not. "It's a game, after all."

"Skywalker," Steve added a little more pointedly. "McGarrett."

Jumpsuits were at the ready for all sorts of sizes! Maybe wonder what you've gotten yourself into here.

"I'm never letting Steve drag me into classes again," Danny grumbled, getting on a jumpsuit.

"You're gonna love it," Steve said with a grin, hopping a bit to settle the jumpsuit around his ankles. "It's very cathartic."

Arden was changing into her jumpsuit a little wide-eyed. She recognized Officers McGarrett and Williams, so those were cops, and she was pretty sure that was the Dean and...

She was starting to get the feeling she was maybe a little outclassed here.

No introductions? Just go? Okaaaay?

"We're totally outclassed here," Kamala said in a sotto voice towards Arden. "I mean, I can do things but these guys look paramilitary."

Re: Get Ready

[stykera]

Stark was sizing up the competition (or maybe just glaring at Anakin) while he pulled on a jumpsuit.

Re: Get Ready

Cal appreciated that the jumpsuit meant he might not have to do laundry, and was scoping out everyone else to see who looked like they might have a little too much fun today.

Re: Get Ready

[slothbabyproductions]

After getting suited up and just slightly antagonizing Arden, Kamala swung by Cal. "Hi! We haven't met yet," she said holding out her hand for a handshake. "Kamala Khan. I'm your new neighbor."

Re: Get Ready

These pistols were kind of cool, if a little smaller than what Summer preferred to lug around and shoot with, but it was fine, because she was just feeling the fact that she knew she could pull off cute in a jumpsuit like nobody's business.

Re: Get Ready

[stykera]

Stark was inclined to agree with Summer's assessment of her current cuteness levels.

And he was a thoroughly unbiased source. Obviously.

"Good luck?"

Paintball!

It'll go great. Dooooon't worry about it.

Anakin cocked his pistol and shot it straight at center mass of his grandson.

[grenadesandohana]

McGarrett raced off for high ground, pulling himself up onto the roof of one of the old cabins and hiding behind some branches that were piled on top.

SEAL sniper was gonna sniper. Now to figure out how much range these pistols had...

Re: Paintball!

[stykera]

Stark was out of practice but he was generally good at Paintball. Usually. This would go fine, right?

Re: Paintball!

[unusual_sith]

Lana ran for the edges and hid, aiming for the instructors. She knew who the dangerous ones were (and she wasn't getting in between the Skywalkers), so Steve it was!

Re: Paintball!

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

Yeah, as soon as it was time, Arden was off like a shot, trusting in her ability to sense distortions in the air to try to keep her from getting hit. She lucked out in finding not one, but two caches of ammo, and took those with her as she hunkered down in the building. She wasn't even thinking of having more ammo to hit people with, she was more interested in depriving people of the chance to hit her.

Re: Paintball!

[slothbabyproductions]

Kamala was just walking out in the open cluelessly. And trying to get her gun to work.

"I don't think mine is working," she called out.

Yep. She's target practice.

Re: Paintball!

[moreofaponchoguy]

Cal immediately worked on parkouring his way up one of the buildings to get a better vantage point. If he could throw the paint, this would be so much better, but he'd make it work.

Re: Paintball!

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer's strategy, she felt, was simple,but hopefully effective. She'd take to some cover, sit on it for just long enough that she might be noticed, and that's when she'd head to the next one, hopefully getting a few shots out there as she kept moving. And if she had to leap or dive to reach cover before a paintball reached her, so be it! She was willing to take that risk!

Talk to the Teachers

One of which did better than the other. Somehow.

I don't know why you have a Daphne icon but Dean approves.
