((Paint Ball War – Team Cacti Prickles))

Ok, RoChan had to admit that she had some of the stupidest moments in her life and moving to the sand tower had been one of them. There wasn’t a moment that she could peek around the tower and not find a magenta paint ball coming straight towards her! Two had already flown by at an alarming speed and accuracy, barely missing her foot as she quickly pulled the appendage into the safety of the sand tower.

“Cripes, this is a real bugger of a situation.” She mumbled in irritation, cocking her gun to take another aimed shot for the last person who dared to try and hit her. The dragon had perfectly aligned herself with her target and there was no way that she could miss this shot! An evil grin formed on her face and just as she was about to pull the trigger a rough shove caused her body and gun to jerk forward into the open space. Falling into the sand she tried to make heads of what just happened when two paint balls suddenly flew by. One narrowly missed the tip of her head but whoever had knocked her out of her hiding spot wasn’t so lucky! Pink paint splattered from the ball everywhere!

“Hey you!” RoChan called out sprinting towards him and grabbing his hand before diving into a ditch that was wide enough for both of them. A feminine snort preceded a small fit of laughter as she eyed her painted captive. “You ok, hon?” She passed a thin hand across the pink stained bangs with a brilliant smile.

Aphi glanced at Tyson's gun, having to admit that yeah, the thing did look a little awkward, so large in the child's hands. "My suggestion, Ty: Find a good defensible place and set up, lean your gun on something, and then you don't have to carry it AND shoot at the same time." Aph leaned his own gun against the side of the sand ditch, showing what he meant.

"As for my target... Werika's the captain of the other team, so I'm trying to shoot him." He grinned. "If he can come out of hiding that is. Chloe's still asleep I think. She's not playing." A sudden thought occurred to Aph and he laughed. "Oh man, am I glad she's not playing! If she'd been on the other team, I might have to be a turncoat and start shooting people who shoot at her." He chuckled.

Eiry, after effectively dodging a paint ball that went straight through his foxfire wings, finally understood what to do in this game. The help Aphismet gave by explaining the gun did a world of good and in no time, Eiry was dodging the paint bullets and speeding along the beach frontier alongside Aphismet. He was positive that this game had NOTHING to do with trickery, but with not getting caught, which was something he was entirely able and apt and ready to do.

Then all of a sudden when he was twisting around to see where Aphismet had run off to, since he had lost the man in the confusion of the battle, there was a sudden pain at the back of the frei's shoulder and he spun around in confusion. He hadn't been hurt before like this, so the startled feeling brought an overwhelming wave of frustration. The mere feeling of being hit like that made Eiry angry. Even more since he could've evaded it easily by simply being intangible. However, that was a red-light in this game. It would be cheating if he did. As much as he wanted to cheat, he wouldn't. Eiry had pride.

Snapping his gun into position and cradling it with his arm, Eirdirsceol flitted quick and stealthily-like across the sand. Narrowing his red eyes and surveying the situation, Eiry lifted his gun and focused it at David, the person who had shot him in the first place. Eiry snarled and pulled the trigger, a terrifying laugh escaping his lips as he did.

Adrenaline surged through Damien's veins as he realized that his haphazard shooting had actually hit. Peeking over his shield, he saw a confused Raevan, whom he assumed to be Lucia, a part of his team. She looks like she's in trouble-- I need to help her!!!!, his mind screamed at him, as paint pellets whizzed everywhere, hitting the poor raevan as well. He took a few attempts of starting to run over to help the poor frei.

At one point the blonde motioned to get out and was suddenly affronted with the man he had shot before. His senses cleared and he realized- "Aphismet! Hi!" ...Before a paint pellet slugged into his shoulder and splattered red paint all over his chest and markings. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the once confused raevan being led behind a barrier somewhat close-by. Laughing, yet in pain, the thrill of the battle surged through his body and with a devilish grin at Aphismet, he saluted a good-bye, then dashed out from out of his barrier, looking for Lucia.

He ran towards the other barrier where he had seen the frei been led to, and also shot at a minty green raevan floating around with a gun- it was Isi's raevan, Eirdirsceol!!! He then dived behind his target barrier, landing somewhat close to Lucia.

"A-are you okay?" Damien grinned at her and pointed at his own bandanna. His adrenaline rush gave him the courage to get over his intimidation from his last ''encounter'', and speak to her, finally. "I'm from the same team as you! I could help you if you'd like. My name is Damien, by the way."

Zayne followed along with Altair as the inventor hopped from place to place, trying to keep track of all the shooters. At one point, he looked over to where Damien was and saw his little 'brother' take a shot which hit its target. Proud and pushing his fist into the air, he called out, rooting for the kid "Good job, Damien!!!" - of course, just minutes later, the once-targeted stalked down Damien and shot him fair-and-square, and Zayne half groaned and half chuckled at the luck. Not too soon later, his companion tapped his shoulder, and he looked up to hear the other's proposition.

"Wow!!! Someone who doesnt intimidate you! In any case--that sounds perfect! I'm pretty thirsty too," he exclaimed, the back of his throat burning from the hot, and somewhat sandy air. With a strong pull, Zayne lifted himself, attempting to pull the inventor back down as he got up. "Now lets try to get there without being shot~!" With that, he ran swiftly across the battlefield, somehow appearing at the other end within a half minute, and waited for his friend on the other side with a sly smirk.

(( Beach bar, very busy! D: // Paintball - Team Cactus Gooo!! ))

"How about some lemon honey green tea? I think we have a jug prepared somewhere in the fridge." Kyou recommended to the newly arrived guys. Finally, customers! Putting on his best customer service smile, he pulled out the jug and poured a cup for Zayne, popping in some ice cubes to make it extra chilly.

Kyou chuckled to Alex. ((SORRY I MISSED YOUR POST!! DX)) "We actually prepared some of the drinks, like this tea, earlier." he said as he held up the jug of green tea with lemon slices floating at the bottom of the jug. "As for mixing drinks..." Putting the jug down, Kyou pulled out his Bartending For Idiots book from a spot out of sight from customers. "I have this book here to help me with. It has loads of drinks recipe in it." There, the cat is out of the bag.

"Wait a moment, I'll get to your fruit salad daiquiri soon." He said to Yuurei as he served the cup of lemon honey green tea to Zayne. "Why that tone about Lucia though?" Kyou asked, noticing the slight sullen tone in her voice. "Is Lucia having problems with social relationships?"

"Oh damnit!!" Lazarus cursed out loud as he was shot right by his face when he collided with the blue haired girl. Perhaps he should make sure that the sand obstacles are clear of people before he dashed for them next time. "I'm okay." he said, not wanting to sound weak at all. Raising his eyes he was met with a pretty girl, in bikinis nonetheless. He blushed a little as he got up, muttering a soft "I'm sorry." to her.

But the state of war is not over yet as the noises of paintball shots whizzed through the air. At least the sand tower is big enough to cover 2 person. Taking his cover, he peeked at the battlefield outside again and noticed a newcomer - EIRY. His bright green presence contrasting his surrounding is just too hard to miss! Especially with that crazy laugh to attract Laz's attention. Taking aim, he fired a shot at the minty Frei.

Josh jumped back as a tiny body fell into the ditch. He shuffled to the side allowing more room for the small boy. Josh smiled as Aphi showed him the ropes of paintball and gave him some advice. So far, it seemed like him and Mouse were the most familiar with this game. He would have to remember their names if he ever needed a paintball fix. Josh hummed and counted on his fingers, trying to remember just who he had shot, “Well, I shot Laz once, David twice, and the rest were misses.,” he paused taking it all into account, “So 3 hits, 3 misses. I only half suck.” He had almost forgotten to introduce himself! Josh had been too busy recalling his paintballing prowess. He turned to the boy he could only assume was Tyson, given away by his and Aphismet's conversation, and began to present himself to the young lad, "By the way, name's Josh."

Josh perked up as team catus began to fire with the most vigor he had seen from them yet. But who was their new target? Josh peered over the lip of the ditch to find Eiry at the receiving end of most of the hits. Apparently, they had also found a favored target on the melon team.
