Eliza was back in the game. She'd rested enough and began stalking her next target, balloon already in hand. The rest had done her wonders. She was on her second wind, feeling more relaxed and she'd chuckled occasionally at the reactions she had seen. Perhaps she could kiss her balloon and aim for Derek.
Although he'd been rather nice earlier when they'd hid briefly behind the same bush. Who would have thought that he was afraid of cooties. Eliza took aim and tossed her balloon with all the strength a ten-year old could muster. And she still missed. Well, if hitting one of the teachers could be called missing. Oh jeez.
Squeaky clean yet again, Griffin was back in the game. He was ready for anything! He was going to win! Not that there really was a way to win, or that hitting everyone was it, but that was what his definition of winning was, and he was going to do it! Having his knee being horribly maimed wasn't going to stop him. The germ magnet known as soap wasn't going to stop him. And if neither injury nor illness got in his way, he was sure he could do this.
A little too sure, perhaps. The next balloon that Griffin picked up slipped out of his hands, which were still dripping from when he'd washed them, and exploded all over his shoes. He stuck his tongue out at it, then went off in search of another bin to raid.
Coming back from his second juice break, Derek surveyed the damage. Was there even a dry spot on a kid anywhere now? Probably not. Ah well. BACK TO MISSING! ...No wait. That logic didn't seem right. Picking up a balloon he hurled it at one of the children he had targeted before. And missed.
Nope. Logic was right.

Actually his luck seemed on the downer, with all of his most recent previous shots either falling short of their targets or missing altogether.
Briar was debating taking another juice break, but decided to hold out for a little bit longer as he dodged away from a water balloon that seemed to be heading in his direction.
Scooping up a water balloon of his own, Briar sent it in the direction of some kids – but as with his other attempts recently it ended up falling short, splattering harmlessly on the ground.

Briar targets random kid with a water balloon, but misses.
Jason dived for another balloon but in his scramble to get it it poped so he went in search for some more amo and found on of the bubble tubs. With a smile that was rather desterbing in it's evilness Jason scooped up a handfull of the suds and threw it at a nearby kid.

Jason tosses bubbles at Derek, preferably at his back but its your call, and hits him
Griffin tried to wipe his hands dry on his shirt, his shorts, even in his hair. None of it did any good, since there was no part of him that wasn't soaked through. All he succeeded in doing was messing his hair up. He could feel it sticking up at odd angles, so he reached up again and did his best to smooth it down.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Griffin picked up another balloon, and this time managed to hold onto it long enough to aim at a passing student. But before he could properly throw it, it fell behind him, splashing the backs of his legs with yet more water and making him stamp his feet in frustration.

Eliza had apologized to the teacher that was the unlucky recipient of her latest errant throw. After sheepishly handing the teacher a towel, Eliza scurried over to a tub that still seemed to hold the promise of a balloon or two. She was in luck. Scooping up a balloon Eliza's eyes scanned the field of competition before her sight landed on Griffin. She wasn't sure if she still owed him payback or not.
Her target acquired, Eliza ran after Griffin and hurled her balloon. She let out a giant whoop of glee as the balloon stuck Griffin and released its contents.
When a balloon crash landed on his back, Derek yelled loudly and spun around to see who threw it. He found Jason. Scooping up the nearest bit of ammo, he hurled it at the grinning boy. It burst. Target hit!
Trev's personal scorecard was now approaching double digits as he decided to toss a balloon a the school wall. It didn't hit any people, but it sure surprised a nearby chipmunk as it exploded close by and gave the poor little thing an impromptu bath.
Things were just going from bad to worse. It seemed like Griffin couldn't hit anything anymore. And then he got hit himself, water splashing all over his chest and making him yelp in surprise. He looked up and saw Eliza, who seemed to be the perpetrator, and made a note to get her back for that.
Except he couldn't do that if he couldn't even hold onto a single balloon.
Third time's the charm, Griffin told himself. He had no idea what that meant, but his mom said it sometimes, so it had to be right. Ever so carefully, he squatted down. He reached both of his hands into the nearest bin and wrapped them around a single water balloon. He straightened his knees, until he was standing again. Then, before he could drop the balloon again, he tossed it, almost at random. Almost, but not quite- it hit a boy who was running past him, catching him in the leg. It wasn't exactly the most direct hit ever, but Griffin didn't care- his missing streak was over, and he was ready to rock again.
Eliza had vacated Griffin's immediate area and had managed to get her hands on another balloon. As she searched for a new target the sound of a balloon breaking caught her attention. She spotted a boy who had obviously just thrown a balloon at the wall. Eliza paused as she took in the kid. Target sighted. Target has used potential return fire.
Go go go!
With as much silence as a kid could manage, Eliza snuck up on Trev and tossed her balloon at him. She watched with glee as the balloon left her hand and sailed in a nice arc to strike the boy. Target soaked!
Akane got another water balloon and tossed it. This time, it hit the ground right in front of her and violently exploded, sending water all over the place, including her face. She wiped her face with her shirt sleeve. "Pffft!"
Jason stuck his tongue out at Derek but didn't really mind the drenching he got in respond to his own well placed bubbles. Instead he scooped up another balloon and tossed it... only to see it smash into the ground... oh well
