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.

[Congratulations, you've hit Waver's backside! And have caused him to spin around, gun at the ready.

Not that he's actually going to squirt a small child without fair warning, but, you know, give him a second to process.]


Not a bad throw.

[ Have a bright beaming smile, clear and without any touch of shadow. Makalaure remembers only the bliss of Aman, what does he know of fear? ]

Thank you, sir! [ We even know how to bow, after all, dad's a prince, and we must have proper manners! ]

Your hair is very pretty, why're you tying it up?
gordianknots: I'm not one to rage against the scene (We excel at drama)

[Waver crouches down, so that they're on eye level. Nothing more awkward than having a conversation with that much craning of the neck.]

Because running with it down in an event like this means that nine times out of ten, it's going to smack me in the face and prevent me from seeing.
childofthemusic: (run)

[ Up close he probably looks familiar, doesn't he? That bright gleam that all the elves have, like light seeping through their skin - but it isn't Celegorm's gold but Maglor's silver ]

Oooh... Cano supposes that would be hard. But why don't you braid it then?
gordianknots: Of just who you have become (The dice are loaded)

[personal profile] gordianknots 2014-07-30 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's easy. That takes too much time, and I'm lazy.

Plus the braid'll still smack me in the face.

[Waver is nothing if not honest sometimes. But now that he has a beat to think about it, he actually has no idea who he's talking to. The eyes are very disconcerting though, he should be able to place them. Should.]
childofthemusic: (filit)

[personal profile] childofthemusic 2014-07-30 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Not if you do it right! [ Nodnodnodnod ]

Atto has that problem all the time! But Amil braids it for him so he doesn't get it caught in the forge - Cano can show you, if you like!

[ The problem is, of course, at least partially because Maglor has never been this happy in Drabwurld, without any trace of grief or sorrow or tragedy. And the piping treble hardly sounds like the adult. Also if Waver thinks this is basically an excuse for Maglor to play with his hair, he's absolutely right ]
gordianknots: I will not sing along (But the smell of leather is intoxicating)

[personal profile] gordianknots 2014-07-30 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm. Are you more keen on continuing to pelt people with water, or demonstrating improved hair care methods?

[Waver knows the let-me-play-with-your-hair implications when he hears them. Goodness knows that the heir of the Archibald family (and his patron) trained him to know exactly when to sit down and pass the hairbrush when she was younger.]
childofthemusic: (chu~)

[personal profile] childofthemusic 2014-07-31 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Hold on, this is a very difficult question and needs some hard thinking ]

...Cano can't do both? [ reluctantly ] 'Spose should play more then - Amil always says we should be outside more when the weather is good.

[ Big puppydog eyes ] If Cano promises not to get you any more, can Cano braid your hair later?
gordianknots: The company you keep (You'll never miss)

[personal profile] gordianknots 2014-07-31 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[The pause gives Waver an idea.]

You know, we might make a good team. You're small and no one'll see you coming. I can be the distraction.
childofthemusic: (filit)

[personal profile] childofthemusic 2014-07-31 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ Watch him light up like a tiny lightbulb in glee at the thought ]

Oooh! Do you really think so sir? [ Oh oh, wait, what did atto always say about asking properly - have a polite little bow again Waver ]

U-um, if sir doesn't mind, then C... Makalaure would like the honor of playing this game with you.
gordianknots: That's for you and the truth (You can win and win and win again)

[personal profile] gordianknots 2014-07-31 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
If I minded, then I wouldn't have made the suggestion to begin with, Makalaure.

[Waver offers his hand, rather than bow back.]

Shall we, then?
childofthemusic: (run)

[personal profile] childofthemusic 2014-07-31 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Makalaure takes that hand with an easy trust and a brilliant smile ]

Thank you sir! Yes! [ He tugs a little, bouncing eagerly ] Where to, sir?
gordianknots: Please don't waste your pity votes on me (Default)

[personal profile] gordianknots 2014-07-31 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm.

[Waver glances over his shoulder, analyzing the fight around them both.]

Why don't you pick the target?
childofthemusic: (chibi)

[personal profile] childofthemusic 2014-07-31 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A small head tips and eyes scan the group around them ]

They's all big peoples huh? Probably wouldn't notice Cano, if he's quiet. There - that one? She's talking talking, not looking

[ Maglor no, that's the Seelie Queen ]
gordianknots: Tuesday night down at the monster's ball (You know exactly how clever sounds)

[personal profile] gordianknots 2014-07-31 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
--Maybe we should start smaller than one of the monarchs.

[Gently steering away from bad ideas, rather than giving a flat out no, is the only course Waver is going to take for now.]
childofthemusic: (filit)

[personal profile] childofthemusic 2014-08-01 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Fortunately, Makalaure is the well behaved one (for certain definitions of well behaved. Look he gets compared to genius older brother, and then you get the three bratty Cs, and the mischievous twins) so he nods accepting and scans for another target.

Okay, if monarchs are not allowed he guesses the dark lady who is also busy talking is also out. Oh well. ]


That one? [ He's pointing at where Will is dozing ]
gordianknots: I will not sing along (But the smell of leather is intoxicating)

[personal profile] gordianknots 2014-08-01 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Waver considers it.]

It might be a little mean to wake him up. At least so suddenly.

If you were politely to wake him up, it might be a better idea. Do you have a smaller squirt gun, that might rouse him up, then make him fair game?
childofthemusic: (Default)

[personal profile] childofthemusic 2014-08-01 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ Makalaure nods enthusiastically ]

Cano knows where to find them! He saw some by the taps! [ tug tug tug at Waver's hand - come on! ]
gordianknots: Please don't waste your pity votes on me (Default)

[personal profile] gordianknots 2014-08-01 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Waver lets himself be dragged, although he does try to compensate for the awkward angle that is himself and Makalure's small body. Mostly, he looks ridiculous being dragged along, half hunched over.

He's looked sillier though.]
childofthemusic: (filit)

[personal profile] childofthemusic 2014-08-02 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ He all but bounces in his excitement as he tugs Waver along, and it doesn't take much to have that piping little treble raised in cheerful song as they go.

A child's counting song - something bright and silly about flowers and birds.

When they reach the taps he releases Waver and snags a squirt gun, turning to beam up at him proudly ]


Like this?
gordianknots: That's for you and the truth (You can win and win and win again)

[personal profile] gordianknots 2014-08-02 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Waver bends down to examine the item in question, a few stray strands of hair falling out of place.]

Hm. What's it's range like?
childofthemusic: (filit)

[personal profile] childofthemusic 2014-08-02 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Dunno! [ He turns and pulls the trigger, aiming for a bush perhaps a few meters away - it barely reaches ]

Not very far, it seems sir. [ a tip of the head ] Cano'd need to get in very close.
gordianknots: Please don't waste your pity votes on me (Default)

[personal profile] gordianknots 2014-08-02 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
All right. If you can draw him out tooowards...

[Waver takes a beat to scan the area, eyes settling on a particularly large oak tree.]

That tree there, with the big trunk, I can shoot from behind.
childofthemusic: (run)

[personal profile] childofthemusic 2014-08-04 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Cano can do that! [ He nods eagerly and bounces off to do just that, and Waver can watch as the child who will be Maglor does instinctively what the adult will turn into weapon. The brilliant light turns into a mischievous shadow, blending into the music and rhythm of the world around him, moving without sound and barely a break in the grasses he passes.

Reaching his victim he pops up, announces ]


Got you!

[ pulls the trigger and then turns and flees back towards Waver, shrieking in half terrified half delighted laughter the whole way ]
gordianknots: Please don't waste your pity votes on me (Default)

sorry this got eaten by gmail somehow

[personal profile] gordianknots 2014-08-05 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Waver waits. It's hard, because there's too much noise in the background, light hearted shrieking, and --

there. He shoots a long, steady stream, pleased to hit the target. When his teammate is within hearing range, Waver simply calls out:]


Well done!
