[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!}

	[Lelouch has found a towel, and is currently mopping the water from his last bad crossfire moment. Huff. The back of his white polo is pinkish from the last one. Perhaps some more colors are needed.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Yes. Oh yes. They are most certainly needed.] [Being somewhat brazen, and also wanting to see Lelouch's face, Caliborn physically walks up around to Lelouch's front, about at the range required to throw balloons with enough force to pop them.] Heads up, chump. [AND AWAY IT GOES] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He glances up, but catches on to what's going on, and blocks his face with an arm covered in towel. So now the towel is blue. And he looks up again.] Tell me what makes you think I want to be a part of this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-25 06:25 am UTC (link)
	Your willingness to cooperate. Is far from mandatory. [Caliborn reaches into his bucket and hefts another balloon with care paid not to pop it with his claws on accident. He offers a grin more malicious than strictly necessary for the situation.] Actually. If you want to run. Or scream. That'll make it funnier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zugzwanger 2013-07-26 06:25 am UTC (link)
	[Instead, he calmly walks toward Caliborn. He wrings out the towel as he walks.] I'm supposed to run screaming from something like you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-26 06:32 am UTC (link)
	Actually. Yes. [Caliborn bobs the balloon in his hand and takes a step forward.] Maybe not in this case. Because it's just fucking balloons? Only complete and utter wrigglers scream about balloons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zugzwanger 2013-07-28 08:21 am UTC (link)
	[He's still closing the gap, settling a comfortable distance from Caliborn, but far too close to chuck a balloon without soaking himself as well.] You may be right. [And he's reaching for a balloon of his own from the cache Caliborn has with him. A green one, if that matters.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lelouch stop bending your fingers like that ophiuchus 2013-07-29 03:10 am UTC (link)
	[It doesn't.] Yeah. I am. [Caliborn moves forward fast, shoving the balloon up under Lelouch's chin.] Guess what, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	but it's fun zugzwanger 2013-07-29 05:16 am UTC (link)
	[And he doesn't really flinch at all. Sure he's going to get wet. At this point, that's irrelevant. But someone like this just can't be ignored, can he?] Hmm? I'm still wondering what about you I'm supposed to run screaming from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-29 05:19 am UTC (link)
	[Caliborn rolls his eyes.] Yeah. I get that a lot. You're all really fucking stupid. Right now? I'm playing around. If I was serious. You'd understand. [And then he punctures the balloon with his claws, exploding it on both of them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zugzwanger 2013-07-31 06:42 am UTC (link)
	[Ooh a new color!] Ah, that is quite the color combination. [Not going to give him the satisfaction of being angry about it. Just looking bored now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-08-04 12:52 am UTC (link)
	[And so, Caliborn decides to make his own fun.] [He overturns the bucket onto Lelouch's head, trying to firmly plant it there as much as dump several balloons on him. Not even to pop them, just for the pummeling.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
