[Open - Watergun Mingle Post]

[alchemyfreak]

who: Anyone!
(This is a mingle post, no obligation to participate with Ed just because it's his post)
what: Watergun Fights
when: During the week of the Festival/Fireworks (August 1st-7th, August 14th.)
where: Along the all-ages beaches of the river
warnings: Some characters may be under amnesia influence on August 14th.



Anyone in the communal building was free to notice the small group of people leaving with large tubs of plastic guns. Floor six especially was free to notice the prep of water guns packed up for transport to the beach. There had been little in the way of warning, but anyone that Ed might invite is welcome to assume they got a message telling them to find him on one of the beaches.

Once the buckets were moved down on the first they were left there with a sign for just anyone to use throughout the week of the festival - and would pop up again during the day of the 14th, before the fireworks. All guns will be at about the same power, so no one's running around with way more force than anyone else! Everyone will have to handle refills the same, unless they have magical water abilities, and chances are the guns are going to be filled with river water at some point or another, if not the whole time.

Feel free to specify a time or date your character is available or mention that they're available whenever. List open or closed Top-Levels below, tag around, make new CR or stick to established friends! If your character needs a little incentive to join in, feel free to assume they were hit in the cross-fire.

Note: I forgot to put in Ed's top level, he's a CRAU so expect some differences (taller, longer hair, older looking etc.)


Everyone is free to join in if you're interested!

Edward Elric | OTA (will match style) | Amnesia For iii. & iv. (August 14th)

i.

Ed can be found on any day during the festival setting up. Either moving the bucket of guns down to the beach or pulling them out of hiding once he'd finished cleaning up for the day. It was a nice way to cool off, he couldn't exactly swim and he figured he'd earned it with all the work he was putting in at the beach.

If he caught anyone watching he'd pull a gun from the bucket and offer it to them with a grin. "You in?" An explanation would be offered to anyone that didn't know the game.

ii.

As the day progressed and the fights continued anyone could happen upon the bucket of remaining guns - fully loaded if it was late enough - with a sign that invited anyone reading to join in and get acquainted with the game. There were no teams, everyone was their own, doing their best to spray the most people.

Of course if someone's not paying attention they may just end up caught in the cross fire. Ed might offer a grin akin to a challenge with a shouted apology to any stranger that gets hit, someone he knew might get their own unique reaction depending on how he'd think they'll take it.

iii.

This is the last day, after tonight the guns go back wherever they came from. By the 14th the festival was over and clean up had been long done, but the fireworks would be displayed tonight as if this was the true big finale of the event. Considering there wasn't much Ed could enjoy on the beach aside from the food, he made one last big push for this. The more people that joined in the better, he was ready for all out war, and he was ready to battle until the sun went down and the display started.

iv.

After the fireworks are over he'll come back to the guns, pack up whatever is left behind and bring it back to Floor Six to hide out until another day. Feel free to find him collecting displaced guns from the beach or dumping out water and piling the empty toys into a bucket. He also won't say no to an offer of help, especially from present CR or floormates.

Yuffie Kisaragi - Water Gun Fight ON! - OPEN

[thegreatninja]

Yuffie was bored. Honestly what could she do? She didn't want to sit and wait for something to happen, cleaning up the beach was boring. Training was always something to do but it was less fun since it was also something she now did regularly at work. Eating and chilling around food was nice but less so on her own.

What was a girl to do? The answer was, 'follow the group of people ready to have a water-gun fight.'

Yuffie helped fill the guns, grabbing at least six small ones that she stashed all over her small frame in clever hiding places. She was planning to used her ninja skills to silently sneak up and pelt all those in her path. No one was safe.

A maniac laugh could be heard seconds prior to a stream of water.

"Prepare yourself!"

Maybe she wasn't as stealthy as she meant to be.

[ooc: Feel free to run into her while she's helping them get ready with water-guns, or be her target, or hit her while she's aiming at someone else, or whatever!]

Keith - OTA

[tempredmental]

Keith hadn't started off being a part of the massive water gun fight, but someone came along and blasted him with water while he was exploring the beach, so... yup. It was on. He quickly found the stash and grabbed one for the sake of retaliation. Once getting his revenge, he was fully into this, and was definitely in it to win. He wasn't going to make it easy for anyone to get him.

Though, he wasn't exactly a great shot, either, but that didn't stop him from enjoying the competition.
