Who: Heroes
When: Day 43, Morning
Where: Everywhere

[Welcome to yet another hot morning. Still looking for ways to beat the heat? Still trying to get that glitter out of your hair?]

[Well, the train provides. Namely in there being an assortment of water guns scattered about. Sometimes plain to see on the tables, other times hidden in weird spots. Some lucky person may even find some balloons that can be filled with water.]

[Have fun.]

Comments

[daydreamshimmer]

[Someone just straight up slept in the library, woken up with wild hair and still no shoes, and hasn't eaten since she woke up. Which is why now she's in the public kitchen, raiding the fridge of pizza leftover from the movie night a few days ago.]

[With her looking through the boxes with an unsure face at most until she pulls out some cheese pizza to eat in the lounge.]

[Noticing a water pistol after she sat, picking it up to look it over in confusion.]

[firstworldproblem]

Artillery you aren't accustomed to? Filled with water as they are, they don't seem quite as dangerous.

[daydreamshimmer]

Usually it's just water balloons or water cannons. Nothing quite so compact.

[firstworldproblem]

Well, go on. Give it a try. Not at my person if you don't mind.

[voreaciously]

Water What are these for?

[She's never needed a water gun before to soak someone before so she is confused. and since she is confused, she starts to take it apart, laying the pieces out on the table.]

Hmm...

[schrodingerscockroach]

[You know]

[He knows better]

[He absolutely knows better]

[But he is very curious to see what she'd do and hey, getting soaked isn't so bad in this heat]

[He's already pretty sure on the trajectory and range and so gonna fire at 80H from the max distance he can do with the water gun.]

[Which isn't terribly far, but every little inch is gonna count, he's sure.]

[voreaciously]

[she gets hit!

but that is because she knew water was headed her direction and she didn't mind getting wet. it's hard to tell that at a glance though so she might just look like some idiot who got hit with an unsuspecting attack.]

Ah, so they are for shooting water, then? Ingenious, I must say.

[she says, as water drips down her person]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He's pretty sure it's not the idiot part.]

[He's stuck between her letting it happen, or her just not being bothered by water. Those seem more likely.]

Yeah. Had these things around centuries back home. Just something a little more fun when the shooting toy has consequences that last a while.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Water guns don't have a lot of range, but far be it for Dusk to not have fun with toy firearms anyway. He's good at trajectories, he can arc the water some to get a bit farther.]

[So just gonna hide around and try to surprise people.]

[Around corners, under furniture, maybe outside in a tree.]

[All in good fun, of course.]

[bluediligence]

[ Unfortunately for Dusk, the hunter sometimes become the hunted … ]

[ And Faito is surprisingly good at sneaking. You just have to be patient, quiet, and, most importantly of all, unobtrusive. Excellent tippy-toe action helps. She doesn’t try to get too close, either — she can make up for the lack of range with physics. ]

[ So while Dusk lays in wait, poised to shoot at the next person to come around the corner, Faito lines up to shoot him in the back, tongue between her teeth. Three, two, one … ]

[ FIIIIIIIIIRE ]

[ … or, you know. WATEEEEEEEEEEEER. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[There is that creeping feeling. A feeling of being watched. That's what he notices, but as he starts to turn and check his back, he feels it.]

[The splash of water, jerking forward at the sudden cold.]

[He whips around then and see Faito.]

....you little sneak.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Then he grins wickedly.]

Let's see if you can keep it up.

[And returning fire as he moves away from the wall. Time to find cover.]

[bluediligence]

It's not sneaking, it's strategy!

[ Dramatically counters his shot with one of her own! And then dives behind a couch for cover ]

[malignstar]

[ Time to pick methodically through the water guns instead of his usual reckless grabbing. He tests the weight of various ones and how responsive their respective triggers seem to be before finally settling on a larger one he can rest on his shoulder and smaller one, he can hide in the hem of his pants ]

[daydreamshimmer]

[Watching him do this. Since he seems familiar with whatever these devices are.]

[malignstar]

[ Looks up when he notices her and gives a small wave ]

Oh, hey again! Didn't catch your name before. You playing?

[firstworldproblem]

And to think I misjudged you as a swordsman! You seem to be a man of multiple talents.

[malignstar]

I don't really know what I am. But I have a feeling I've dealt with guns before. How about you?

[ His fellow knight LOVES guns. ]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Well, SOMEBODY is dual-wielding water pistols and firing indiscriminately and anyone and everyone, regardless of who they are.

So.

ENJOY?? ]

[voreaciously]

[it's a hit!

80H isn't dual-wielding, but she is packing various guns strapped to her person and has gotten changed into a familiar bikini at some point.

She's about to return fire, but she realises it's Crow and she--]

Ah--

[bad_crowmance]

[ It isn't that Crow isn't still frustrated and annoyed by their last conversation-- he is-- but she's left such a perfect opening and honestly, who is he to ignore such a perfectly good opening?

And she has to know he's a good enough shot that hitting her square on the breasts, soaking that bikini top, was on purpose. ]

[malignstar]

[ Getting splashed in the face most likely and trying to block the rest with a wing, as he laughs incredulously ]

Who duel-wields water guns?

[bad_crowmance]

I dual-wield regular guns, why wouldn't I do the same for the watery kind?

[daydreamshimmer]

[Shot in the face with water]

....

[bad_crowmance]

[ That is a delightfully vexed look. Crow throws a wink in her direction. ]

You're welcome!
