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."

"Don't be gross, Stark," said Summer, in a tone that seemed to only be encouraging him to be gross. "And, yeah, I mean, obviously, shooting for Anakin just goes without saying. But there's also a lot of new faces this year. I want to size them up and get a good feel for what we're dealing with with them."

Summer had no idea what the narrative had been talking about, that people took this way too seriously.

Nobody on this island took Paintball too seriously! Look at how autocorrect changed the p to a capital and everything!

"Not being gross," Stark told her. "We're in class." As if that stopped them. "Let's see what we learn about the new ones then? We can discuss later, after work?"

"Maybe over dinner?" Summer suggested, with that little extra sweetness that, again, was absolutely unnecessary, but, really, it's not like it hurt, and, in fact, still probably made her case a little bit stronger anyway.

"That sounds like a very good idea," Stark told her, grinning.

They could strategize for next time! And be dorky at each other.
