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! ))

[What.]

[The fuck.]

[Did you just call that little blue thing with red eyes.]

HEY, KID!

[Souji, there is a very irritated Lancer securing his ponytail with a blue bandanna quite literally about to start gunning for you. You are now listed as a Priority-One Target.]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Oh shit. Guess who knows what is about to happen.}

Souji-san! Run!

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Dammit Nanao, I'm shooting the hell out of him!

...How the hell do I work this thing?!

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{She had her own sniper rifle raised, but she lowers it again at his confusion.}

...you don't know how to shoot a gun?

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Do you really think medieval Ireland had these things?

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Well, no - but surely you would have seen them in use somehow. I died over a hundred years ago, and even I know how to use one.

1/3

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Nanao, I am going to level with you here. All I know of the world in the two something millennia between when I died and when I was summoned is what I need to know to survive. The kind of shit you'd need to know to prevent culture shock so bad it could drive someone utterly mad.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

I don't need to know how to work a rifle.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

What I need to know right now is why the fuck he named that thing Setanta.

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

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

{Beat.}

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

[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.

[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.

[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.

[tarotcards]

[ Souji's just here, getting his gear ready when OH SNAP, PAINTBALLS HIS WAY. GOD, HE WASN'T EVEN IN THE GAME FOR TWO SECONDS AND HE'S BEING GUNNED AFTER. ]

[ Souji's just going to run like a little pansy and hide behind some building wall... ]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

GET BACK HERE AND TELL ME WHAT THE HELL YOU THINK YOU'RE PLAYIN' AT HERE!

[tarotcards]

[ Still hiding behind that wall and looking around for something he can use as some small shield, nothing that's bigger than his torso. He shouts over: ]

I'm playing paintball?!

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

I'm not talking about that, what the hell'd you call that Pokemon?!

[Lancer doesn't appreciate a blue, red-eyed canine being named after him? WHODA GUESSED.]

[tarotcards]

You mean the Riolu, Setanta?

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

[EYETWITCH.]

Stop saying that name.

[Ever had a really embarrassing childhood nickname? It's kind of like that, except he secretly likes it. So really not the same thing at all.]

Why the hell did you give that name to something that looks like that?!

[tarotcards]

Because I've thought it fits him. I couldn't really think of anything else then.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

[Souji. Honey. Not helping.]

...Right.

So a blue dog with red eyes calls for a name like that?

[Lancer really didn't get angry. He had long since taught himself to let the most enraging things just roll off, because the alternative was a berserk fit that killed hundreds.]

[But fuck that shit, he wasn't a Berserker.]

[tarotcards]

Well, he likes to carry a stick around like a lance, so... yeah.

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Kid.

You have no idea who you're screwing with here.

[Even though the idea was kind of adorable.]

[tarotcards]

Considering we're right in the middle of a paintball game, I'm guessing not just a normal opponent?

[ sorry, he's not trying to be a smart ass. He just has no idea what this guy's problem is with the name 'Setanta'. ]
