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 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 ]

--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.]

[ 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 ]

[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?

[ Makalaure nods enthusiastically ]

Cano knows where to find them! He saw some by the taps! [ tug tug tug at Waver's hand - come on! ]

[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.]

[ 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?

[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?

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.

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.

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 ]

[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!

[ He gets a delighted giggle and Maglor pops up out of the grasses to the sound of swearing behind him ]

You too! You shoot real good, sir! Shall we try again?
