[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 can't help but cover his mouth to try and hold in the chortling. Bak's reaction is just too priceless. He then coughs quietly and calls back out with a much deeper voice than he usually speaks with.] You should never come into a warzone unprepared! (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)

	There was fair warning! You're the one that let yourself in. If you don't want to end up a casualty, you should take cover. [He whistles loudly and the robot on the other side throws another balloon at Bak.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Bak dived and rolled, immediately sensing danger now that he's aware of it. That balloon goes splat against the nearest tree. ]

That was a robot. You're cheating!

[ and oh... oh, now you've got him going! He's making a low dash towards the nearest bucket of balloons. You can bet he won't hold still for a second longer then he must! ~~Oh gosh, let's hope that's not booby trapped!~~ ]

	The robot isn't with me! He'll throw 'em at anybody! [Which isn't entirely true, but Bak doesn't know that. He peeks through the leaves.] So are you ready now or do we need to get you a raincoat? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Bak is already rolling up his sleeves and digging wrist deep into the bin, calculating the risk of pulling it with him versus taking what he needed and running.

It's a close call, but the bucket is coming with him. ~~for now~~ ]

A raincoat won't be necessary. You'll be just as wet!

[ and Bak will send a balloon Richie's way, not expecting it to hit, but a diversionary tactic is necessary. He must find a prime hiding spot! ]

	[Smart move, Bak, since there are plenty of buckets and Richie has one of his own, too. He dodges the balloon, but it does crash down and splash the backs of his legs.] Big talk! Let's hope you can back that up. [He throws another one himself.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ it bounces off the back of his arm, exploding off a wayward tree. ] I'm not the Great Bak for nothing! [ and he proves it by sliding behind bush, the bucket settled in next to him as he waited for movement. Never fear, he can out wait anyone! (almost) ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
