Having received the message on groanspring, Jericho gathered up two of the paintball guns, as well as a good amount of ammo for himself and Riley. He had goggles as well, for them both in case the Mindflayer didn't have any. It would suck to get paint in the eyes and all. Putting everything into a bag, he slung it over his shoulder then headed on out.
This was going to be a good day.. unless the guns didn't work. But that was why they were going to be testing them out so that they'd be usable for once the club actually started up.
He just hoped that Riley was ready for what was to come, which was a buttload of paint flying in her direction.
Once outside, he walked on over to the meeting place.

Riley was already waiting at the designated spot she'd chosen, which seemed to be an open field of dead grass. There would be nothing to shield them for this test, it seemed. In preparation for the massacre, Riley had abandoned her normal dress, and instead came dressed in a plain black tank top and her fitness training shorts. When Jericho arrived, she was bent in half, stretching down to touch her toes. No sense in straining a muscle while testing out paintballs - and she was sure that this was going to get crazy.
When she straightened up, she caught sight of Jericho heading her way, and her expression brightened. Excellent. She greeted him with the word, and immediately reached out to take one of the guns for herself. I can't wait to try this. I've never done it before.
She eyed the goggles in his hand appraisingly. Ah. Good thinking. You brought one for me?

Smiling at Riley as he saw her ahead, Jericho unpacked the bag and handed her a gun, some ammo, and one of the pairs of goggles.
"Yeah. Though I kinda wonder if I should have grabbed a helmet for you too. I don't think your tentacles would like paint on them," he mused while looking at the appendages. He knew they were fairly sensitive and while he wouldn't try to shoot them, there was still the chance that a stray shot could hit one of them.
"I've only done this about once or twice before; it's pretty great. Getting shot kinda stings though as a heads up."
The dragon loaded up his gun, then turned towards his opponent for the day with a grin, "So any rules you'd like to lay down before we begin?"

Riley hadn't even thought to do something about her tentacles. Jericho's mention of them had her worrying, and her brows furrowed as she thought about it. The tentacles began to curl up of their own accord, forming tight buns around her head. Still, that would not protect them from getting hit completely, but it was the best she could do.
She wrapped the goggles around her head, carefully avoiding her tentacle buns, and hefted the gun up to get a good look at it. The spring loaded mechanism seemed easy enough to work, and she easily figured out how to load it after a moment of searching. Once she had done so, the gun was cocked with a sharp motion, and she lifted it to rest over her shoulder.
Rules? Sure. Aim below the neck. I won't get mad if you make a mistake though. Other than that.. She shrugged. Let's get to the opposite edges of the field and see how far these things shoot?

"Below the neck and above the belt... though legs are fine" nodded Jericho while adding a little addendum to that bit of ruling seeing how he had his own 'soft spot' that would be rather unpleasant to be shot in. Grinning to Riley, he started down the field. Once they had a few test rounds, then things could get real heated up.
Though, he'd be nice for awhile and stay on the ground. But that wasn't to say he wouldn't try an aerial assault at some point during this session.
"Alright! Ready when you are!" he shouted from across the field, paintball gun locked and loaded. There was a rather wicked smirk on his expression as excitement built up within him.
This was going to be fun.

Riley rose an eyebrow slowly. What, you didn't wear a cup? Shame.. She didn't necessarily sound like she'd agreed to his addendum of the rule. Yikes.
Once they had made it to the respective sides of the field, Riley brought her gun up to aim it carefully, and realized.. the tiny ball of paint was going to be difficult to aim with precision. This would be an interesting challenge.
I am ready. She sent out to him, and began an eerily liquid strafe to one side. Yes, Jericho, if anything Riley was going to be a difficult target. Maybe not a great shooter.. but a difficult target nonetheless.
Balls went flying.

Once she gave the signal, Jericho began to quickly strafe in the opposite direction, firing rapidly at Riley. It wouldn't be easy to hit her at this distance, but he sure as hell was going to try his best here. He kept his wings tucked behind him to the best of his ability, not wanting to give her a bigger target to shoot.
"Come on! You can do better than that!" he taunted. Paint balls were zipping about and there were many close calls for sure, which was why he made sure to keep moving. Still, it wasn't likely that he would remain lucky for long.

This was nearly impossible. Riley could see the paintballs she was shooting as they whizzed far to the left of Jericho, instead of anywhere near him. They weren't even exploding, they just bounced on the ground once they landed! At the very least, they could be re-used later.. but she wanted to hear the satisfying splat of a paintball explode. She growled, trying desperately to aim better as she strafed away.

Being as far as he was, Jericho could see his shots going wide. His usually sharp vision didn't help him a whole lot here seeing how he was moving and she was not standing still either. It didn't even seem like any of the balls were bursting anywhere seeing how the grass hadn't been tinted red with paint.

Her gaze sharpened as she calculated the speed at which he was moving, as well as the velocity of the ball's flight, and estimated where his position would be when the ball reached him. She shot..
The ball whizzed RIGHT by his ear. So close! She must not have been counting the affect of the wind.

Jericho could hear the whiz of a paintball flying right past him, nearly hitting its mark. That was a close one, but he still managed to come away clean so far. Distracted from the near-hit, his shots went way wide, not even getting close to Riley.

Riley realized belatedly that she had almost hit Jericho in the face, and lifted her gun up in the air while sending out a soft Sorry about that. While she brought the gun back to level, it accidentally fired, and shot a round twice the length of the field. She couldn't hear the satisfying splat of it as it drenched a Corrividus in a tree, but she did happen to see a rather colorful looking bird flying away.

Shaking his head at Riley, Jericho waved his hand to basically say 'no worries' before resuming fire. He didn't see the bird that got shot, but he did hear an indignant sounding squawk coming from somewhere behind him. At least now his own shots were getting closer to the Mindflayer than his previous attempts.
