THE WATER FIGHT MEME

It's summer. It's fairy world. It's hot. No matter what world you're from, what court you're from, you need to cool down. The King and Queen of both courts have agreed to a truce and members of both courts, no matter where they previously were, will find themselves in a clearing in the middle of an unknown forest. There is a dais up that is warded that both sets of monarchs sit upon and a herald is brought forth to announce the terms:

• Both courts will have ample supplies of both water balloons and water pistols.
• There will be 'stations' where one can refill their supplies.
• As tech does not work here, supplies will have to be refilled magically.
• Reach a station and say aquius to refill your water guns and aquius arcus to get a refurbished supply of water balloons.
• There is no reward or punishment for participating or not participating other than the fun involved in a water fight.
• Participants are welcome to go after their opposing courts or members of their own courts.
• Teams can consist of any/all court members.
• The fight will last until dusk, when all parties will be allowed a short feast before being returned to their previous positions in the world.

That's it. Those are the rules. Make a top level comment and state whether you'd like to play one on one or in a team. Or both. Enjoy your day of rest, Drabwurld.

"A real man walks softly and carries a big fucking gun." He laughs and moves to follow Jon, ducking behind a tree when the balloon is tossed nowhere near him and aiming at the dark head that pokes out to spy him.

It's good to see the other boy laughing, knowing that he's capable of it and can actually enjoy a bit of respite. Means that his job won't be entirely impossible.

Jon ducks again just in time to avoid the worst of it, though water splashes off the bark and into his face anyway.

He spits it out and throws back: "You would never last in a snowball fight," after a quick aquius arcus has his hands full of balloons again, and he throws two of them at the tree where Stiles is sheltered, and sprints for a different spot himself, one with a better angle on his opponent. "Unless you have some mad snow gun, in your modern world."

"You'd be surprised what enterprising young winter dwellers can come up with." Though he knew he'd be creamed because hello, California. It rarely snowed there. He'd be shivering his balls off, too busy trying to keep them from climbing back up into his body to be able to protect himself from projectiles.

But he's chasing off after Jon. This is his sport, after all. Water fight; the fight of teenage boys.

"Do they?" he asks over his own shoulder, before finding a suitable tree once he realizes that Stiles is giving chase, grabbing onto a low branch with both hands and hoisting himself into it with a great grunt of effort. He's no Bran, no masterful climber of all things, but what kind of boy would he be if he hadn't learned how to scale trees to escape scoldings from his father's guard in his youth? Honestly.

Once perched safely high he summons more balloons and starts dropping them down through the branches to where Stiles yet is; he's dripping and covered in torn leaves and grinning like an idiot. "Go on, try to climb with that in your hands!"

"That's what the strap's for, dumbass!" He slings it around his chest, then moves to jump up and reach for one of the branches, soaked by now and dripping water and torn balloon bits like he's shedding them. "I hope you know I'm going to stick this thing up your ass when I get up there."

[baseborne]

Jon lets out a snort of laughter and drops a balloon right down on Stiles' face while he reaches up for a branch. "And I hope you can climb better than you can threaten," he says even as he plants his foot as firmly as he can on a thick branch and uses it to hoist himself even higher.

"Oh, I can climb, smarty pants. I can climb and I'll outclimb you and just... You just wait, Sir Laughs-a-lot. We'll see how much you're laughing when you've got water coming out of your nose."

Says the guys blowing water out of his own nose after the balloon had exploded in his face. He paused enough to get a grip on the branch, swinging the gun around and aiming it at the retreating ass above him. SPRAY!
