fandomhigh | Paintball, 1st Period

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."

"Cal Kestis," he said, shaking her hand. "It's nice to meet you. I normally have a droid friend with me, but I wasn't sure how the whole paint thing would go."

BD-1 had made it very clear that if he got painted, Cal would be responsible for cleaning him off and asking forgiveness.

"How's the manor been treating you so far?"

"Really great! It decorated my room in a second and perfectly," She said cheerfully. "I haven't met a lot of my roommates yet. Just Marc, you and Arden."

What? Her mention Arden's name to see his reaction? Nah. She's not that devious.

"Oh, well if you've already met Arden, you started with the best neighbor. Not that everyone isn't great." Subtle as a block to the head, he was. "Steven and Watts are really nice, and Dean's pretty cool. Gonzo... well, you have to experience Gonzo for yourself." He didn't have a good way to explain Muppets yet.

"Guy made of felt? Yeah, I'm looking forward to that," Kamala said with a grin. "And so you say Arden's the best neighbor? Where do you fall then? Above? Below? Somewhere around a guy made of felt?"

"I'm like third, after Arden and Steven," Cal said. "Pretty great, but they're even nicer." He glanced around a little. "Are you ready for your first class? I'll go easy on you, as long as you stay away from Arden."

"Oh I'll be fine," Kamala said with a nonchalant wave. "And yeah, I'm staying away from the two of you. I don't want to cause a problem and have both of you lose your bet.

"Oh, she told you about the bet?" Don't mind that little cheek flush as he realized Arden talked about him to other people. "Yeah, I'm going to be a little nice to her, but you don't want to get caught in the crossfire."

"A little nice to her?" Kamala said raising an eyebrow. "So... you're going to let her win?"

"Of course not!" He definitely hadn't thought about it, not at all. "I'm just going to give her a fighting chance."

"Good because if you let her win, she'll know. And then you'll be in trouble," Kamala pointed out. "And then where would your bet be?"

"I certainly don't want to get into trouble," he said, laughing. "I want this to be an honest bet so I feel completely fine when I win."

"Honestly? I don't think you're going to win. She has too much sass," Kamala said shaking her head.
