Log:
[ In the front of the Breeding Centre of Goldenrod City, there's a small stage placed down. On said stage is one microphone stand and one Souji Seta with his Riolu pawing at him. Pick up, pick upppp. Hold on, audience. ]

Not now, Setanta. I promise later.

[ Whoops, sorry about that. Just having to deal with a shy Pokemon. It's just going back inside the centre to mope until dinner time. So, turning his attention back to the audience, Souji clears his voice. ]

Thanks again for signing up for the game of paintball, guys.

The game is simple: be the last team standing and then be the last person standing in the final round. I've sent out a text to everyone on what team you should be on, but if you've forgotten, I have a chart up here for you to check. [ Pointing his thumb back at a sheet of paper taped to some whiteboard stand. ]

For some teams, due to uneven numbers, we have these four Pikachus that will be playing along... [ At that exact moment, four Pikachus holding paintguns walk up. They look pretty intimidating. All of them are wearing their team colour scarves over their mouths and they look like they're ready to tear someone's face off. One of them has an eye-patch, another is wearing some glasses, and the last one is... is that one smoking a cigar? ] Apparently, they're really good at paintball for some reason. [ Souji is looking like this right now, so he has no idea. ]

[ A-Anyway... ] I've also sent out a list of rules to your gears, but once again, if you've forgotten, check out the stand. Main points are that the use of Pokemon in the game are forbidden except for the four Pikachus here and you can't enter any buildings to get onto the roofs.

So, grab your team colours on the table beside the stand-- [ He points to it. ] --and a paintball gun from the table next to it. All guns must be returned at the end of the game, but if you want to keep it, just find me at the end of the game to pay for it.

Paintball refills are over at this stage as well or at the Pokemon Centre. Those are the only two neutral zones, so you can't shoot others there. There's also refreshments, but don't take too long of a break.

Well, that's enough from me. Grab a gun, goggles or sunglasses, and team colour.

In ten minutes when the clock strikes noon, let the game begin.

[ Go for it! ]


(( ooc: Remember, teams are posted right over here! Please go check on what teams you're on and you can continue using that post to plot around, or you can go in for a surprise and just ask who might be in or out in the subjects. Winners, please go comment with the prize that you want! ))

(( Rules/points are both here and here in bullet points. Please reread them and if you got any questions, give me a pm or ask over at the second ooc post under the 'QUESTIONS/CONCERNS/ETC' thread! ))

(( Backtagging is what we're all about, people! So, backbackbackbacktag, and it doesn't matter if you tag in prose or action tags. Just go with whatever you feel best with! So, enjoy the free paintball game, guys! ))

Saber. Hey, Saber.

[Beat.]

...How does this thing work?

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Psssst! Over here!

{Is that a tree talking to you? Yes, yes it is.}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Summoned? Well, I suppose that makes sense...

{Beat.}

What's wrong with Setanta? Even if it was your name originally.

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

...oh.

{And then her grin becomes the most amazing and insane smile.} I'm so glad I can call you brother, Envy. That is an amazing plan.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, long story and whatever, we'll go over that some other time.

Because it was my name. More than that, nobody uses it. Ever. At least not if they like that thing where their head's still on their body.

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Let's do our best and take home the victory!

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Whoa--! [ whipping around and nearly clocking him-- oh wait. ]

Bartz?!

[king-of-flames.livejournal.com]

[Roy blocked the shots with the trash can lid, then returned fire. However, a paintball gun was quite different from a handgun, so most of his shots were off.]

Tch.

[Roy kept his gun aimed above the dumpster.]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

I'll hold you to that.

...that's an overly violent reaction, I'd say. And you should know that killing people here is impossible, if what I've heard is correct.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Did I say I'd do it here? I'm just saying that I kind of want to whack him in the head with this useless weapon until I feel better.

I'd be less pissed off if the damn thing wasn't blue with red eyes. ...Or maybe I'd be more pissed off. I can't really tell, I just know I haven't so much as heard that name since I was seven and I'd like to punch him.

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

[Back down. Hedges don't block shots that well, so Athrun almost gets hit a few times.

However...

He could also use that to his advantage. There is now a gun barrel poking out of the hedge and shooting paintballs.]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

...that's still going to cause major brain trauma, and you'd probably kill him anyway, given your strength. {Yes, that was a compliment.}

Couldn't you punch something else instead? I have a Riolu as well - and given what they evolve into, perhaps it was actually rather fitting that he picked the name he did.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

I don't even have to hit him that hard, I just want to knock him out a little!

[Lancer how would that even...]

I don't care what it evolves into, why'd he have to use that name?!

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

...that's not how it works.

{Linefacing now.}

I don't know - maybe he's like me, and read up on the Ulster Cycle as a child?

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

[Deep breath. Sigh.]

...this sucks already.

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy nearly preens at the compliment, still grinning like a maniac. Be afraid, other teams.]

And I'm glad to call you sister for going along with it. So. [He holds out his paintball gun to her with a smirk.]

Let's get started.

1/2

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

It could always be worse.

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{And, thanking the stars that she's still a little way away from him, raises her rifle, and shoots right next to his feet.}

We are still on opposing teams, remember.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

. . .

Oh, goddammit.

[FUCK WAIT HOW DOES I RIFLE]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Nanao is so totally peering at that thing confusedly from her hidden perch up in a tree.}

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

[There is nothing odd about this trash can.]

[It is not moving. There is no single unicycle wheel just barely visible under the two or three inches between the edge of the can and the ground.]

[And it is definitely not moving in a slow, wobbly line int he direction of the nearest back alley.]

[Solid Snake ain't got shit on this.]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

[He'll be taking a shot from the hedge he's currently taking cover from.]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{And there's a rather familiar yelp from the tree!}

NAO YOU ARE AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{She just... stares confusedly. What the hell is that thing, and why is it wobbling about like that?!}

{The obvious answer is to take a potshot at the ground in front of it, just to gauge the reaction.}

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

[Did he hit? He peeks through the leafs and branches of the hedge, not wanting to make himself completely vulnerable.]
