[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!}

	Very well. For I am a merciful heroine. [She tosses the water balloon down at his chest, with more than enough force to burst it but not enough to hurt. And then for good measure she shoots him, right between the eyes.] Rest in peace, Sougo. [She blows on the tip of her squirt gun barrel.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[As Sougo pretends to die, he imitates the Pacman death sound as best as he can. And then he lies there. Quietly. As still as possible.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, my. [Lacus kneels beside Sougo and makes an exaggeratedly pensive expression.] I suppose I'll have to go to the bar by myself, now. Since Sougo perished at my hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-07-23 03:38 am UTC (link)
	[Suddenly! Sougo grabs her by the wrist.] Submit to me, the ghost of Sougo. Or zombie. Whichever is more intimidating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-07-23 03:44 am UTC (link)
	[Lacus gasps loudly when her wrist is nabbed by a frightening, intimidating ghost!] Oh, no! I've been forced to submit to the ghost of Sougo! Someone, help! [The finest acting since ladies were tied to the railroad tracks by men with fabulous mustaches.] Whatever is a poor maiden to do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-07-23 03:55 am UTC (link)
	[He sits up.] The only thing there is to do. [He points at her, then uses his other hand to pop a water balloon over her head.] Yeah, that's what I thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-07-23 04:02 am UTC (link)
	[Lacus makes a quiet squeaking sound as she's soaked from above.] I suppose there is only one thing to do. Find out if the ghost of Sougo is ticklish. [With a grin, her waggling fingers go after his ribs.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-07-23 04:07 am UTC (link)
	[Sougo wiggles a tiny bit, not having expected the tickling, but he will remain stone faced if it's the last thing he does!] Th-that won't work on me! I'm a man! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-07-23 04:08 am UTC (link)
	[The look on her face can only be described as impish.] Really? Hmm... [She redoubles her efforts! Now who's going to submit?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-07-23 04:16 am UTC (link)
	[He's trying very hard to stop the very slight wiggling that he's doing.] Too much man for this. [He flexes an arm.] I've been stabbed at many times before. My body has no reaction to your tickling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-07-23 04:18 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I see. [She pauses in her tickling, smile not fading.] Well, then... [She swoops forward to kiss his cheek. If he doesn't fluster or blush she'll declare him the winner.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-07-23 04:22 am UTC (link)
	[Sougo does the most unenthusiastic gasp ever, staring at Lacus after that kiss. Then he points, and there's a long, dramatic pause before he finally spits it out-] Necrophiliac. You're such an M. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-07-23 04:25 am UTC (link)
	[Lacus lets out a short burst of laughter, hand over her mouth.] And I did submit to you without protest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-07-23 04:28 am UTC (link)
	[He nods.] Yeah, you did. That was a test, and you passed it. [Claps.] I'm crying happy tears on the inside. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-07-23 04:31 am UTC (link)
	Is that so? [Her giggling dies down and she gives Sougo an inquisitive glance.] What do I get for passing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-07-23 04:37 am UTC (link)
	What do you get... [He looks around for some ideas, then settles on giving her a pat on the shoulder, a thumbs up and proclaims-] Good job, Lacus! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-07-23 04:39 am UTC (link)
	[She executes a shallow bow.] Why, thank you. But I was thinking more along the lines of that drink I mentioned. Something cold, yes? Unless you'd rather have another round with the balloons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-07-23 04:59 am UTC (link)
	[Sougo gets to his feet, smoothing out his swimming trunks.] Drinks are fine. Maybe they have different stuff for the occasion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-07-23 07:50 pm UTC (link)
	[Lacus hope spryly to her feet.] Maybe they have cold sake. I read about that in the cookbooks I've been looking through and I wanted to try it. Do you like it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-07-23 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	Are you kidding? It's almost like you don't know who you're talking to. [He wiggles a finger at her.] Of course I like it. Sake is great. Cold sake in the heat? Even better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-07-23 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	[She uses her squirt gun on that wagging finger!] Then you can show me the proper way to drink it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-07-23 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	[He puts that finger over the hole of her squirt gun!] I can do that. It'll be easy, you'll see. You're gonna be a sake pro in no time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-07-23 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	[She glances at the covered squirt gun and grins.] I concede defeat. [And she puts the gun in her soaked pocket.] Is there a trick to it? Teach me on the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-07-24 12:19 am UTC (link)
	Like this. [He nods, positioning her hand before he starts to walk.] Just like that. [A nod.] We rarely drank it cold at home because we're lazy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-07-26 12:44 am UTC (link)
	[Lacus intently examines the position in which he's arranged her fingers.] I didn't realize it's easier to drink it warm. I have a great deal to learn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
