[Day 229] [Voice|Closed|Action|Open] WATER BALLOON FIGHT
[It is a hot day. Sweltering and humid and for many it could feel pretty icky. It is around noon when a unfamiliar and obviously modified voice comes over the network. It sounds a little robotic, too high to be normal, but also manic, in a good way. Excited, amused.]

Anyone really fed up with the heat yet? I know I am. So here's your Declaration of War on Humidity. Park your butt on the number four and you'll get yourself a nice splash of color to cool you down.

[There is silence for some time, enough that one might even think that he disconnected. Then it comes back with a laugh.] Or you could just come over to Quatro Park and join in on the fun. [Then there is a disconnect. Someone could try to ask a question, but no responses will be given.]

---------------

[Anyone who is Sector 4 and wanders towards Qautro Park might notice that there is large bucket sitting right at the entrance. Look inside and you will see that it is filled to the brim with balloons. Water balloons.

And there are more buckets like this. Scattered all over the park, beside a bench, behind a bush, right in the open in the center of a copse of trees. They are everywhere. All of them full of balloons.

And if you don't look out you might just be hit with one of them. Oh, what's all that red covering your hair and your shirt? Whoops guess these balloons are full of colored water. It might wash out at the end of the day, but be careful now or you could end up looking like a soaked rainbow.

Do you turn back and try to escape? Are you trapped there as a victim of water balloon warfare? Or will you grab a balloon yourself and go looking for whoever just threw one at you?]

{OOC: Water balloon fight! Richie spent the morning putting it together so it's forward-dated to noon and later. Two robots will be there making up more balloons as the day goes so they won't run out for a while and another is hiding in the park to throw balloons at random passersby. The coloring in the water is completely safe and washes out with soap from clothes, skin, and hair. Not that characters will know that at first. Have your characters wander in, get dragged by a friend, become an accidental casualty, anything you want! Mingle away the heat!}

[Richie planned this so of course he'll be there, watching and waiting. Some might think this is really immature for him, but he's hot, sweaty and maybe hasn't really slept much in the last few days. Strange ideas can get into a person's head when they're running on caffeine drinks, adrenaline, and a need to do something about the heat.

If you walk by the bush he is hiding behind he might just throw a water balloon at the back of your head. He did warn you about coming to the park today! Not that he'll deny he was the one that did it.]

	[Lelouch saw your warnings. But perhaps he overestimates his own aura of 'don't mess with me' sometimes. So when his nice white polo and light blue shorts get splattered with a red balloon, he looks ready to add some blood to the water. He just freezes in place on impact, and turns around. He's pissed.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Richie is laughing because wow that robot has good aim. He snickers from his position behind a bush and brings up his hands to give out a shout and throw his voice.] Not the best place to take a stroll right now, man. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[Guess who can avoid those balloons? The first one might hit her, but then she phases for the second one, pulls out a water pistol and soaks the bush in retaliation.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Good for you Kitty, but Richie is not the only one you have to worry about. The robot is pretty good at helping him and you just got it instead. Richie is currently crawling his way through the underbrush and peeks out only so he can toss another balloon from the side.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Good thing the robot was waterproof. She huffed, realizing the lack of a response meant Richie wasn't there. She searched a bit, turning and getting whacked from behind with another one.] Hey!! [She spun faster this time, seeing the movement in the leaves, and shot again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He laughs, but it's quiet. Until the water hits him in the shoulder through the leaves and he has to jump out of the way. He grabs several balloons from the bucket behind the bush and lobs three of them in quick succession at her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She squeaks, the first one hitting her, the second passing through her, and she dodged the third one. As she moved for cover, she fired back again, though her aim while running was pretty bad.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He ducks enough that the water goes wide, but it doesn't help his aim either. Doesn't stop him from throwing a balloon with lime green dye in it at her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a cute color on you! [He means that even if he's actually teasing her at the same time. The next one will be purple!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he'd glare, but he's too busy shading his eyes and attempting to catch Richie out in the act! ] I was unarmed. You should have held your ground! [ even though Bak can admit he's right. No Akuma would have held their hand. They'd just slaughter them all instead! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
