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.

How else are we to be evenly matched, Ser Stiles? [ the title is affectionate, though patently false. sansa smiles and begins to sprint almost immediately -- turning sharp upon a heel and once again threading between the trees. her small victory has made her more comfortable; she's smiling more. ]

[teenyoda]

Oho! Is that the way it is?

[He watched her run, picking a piece of ruined balloon off his head before chasing off after her.]

Prepare for retaliation!

[steeledskin]

Why don't you surrender? [ she shouts over her shoulder, a swinging sway of damp hair punctuating her message. ] My forces exceed yours. You'll not win.

[teenyoda]

Stilinskis don't surrender.

[He turned and fired a stream of water up at the fairies, catching one and watching them flop to the ground.]

Your forces are expendable.

[steeledskin]

What's that?

[ she laughs and ducks behind a low bush, coaxing a fairy to bring her a pair of waterballoons. but she still calls from her new redoubt: ] Your house words? We Don't Surrender. I'm sorry, but I've heard better.

[teenyoda]

[People from old times were so weird. House words? Ha ha, weirdos.]

Yeah? What's yours? Excuse Me While I Hide Behind This Tree?

this was worth a phone tag

[steeledskin]

...Winter is coming. [ the truth slips free between hard breaths. sansa peeks over the shrub.] Those are our words.

Aww

[teenyoda]

... Winter is coming? Those are house words? Well, duh winter is coming. It comes every year.

[He snuck around another tree, creeping closer to where she was.]

[steeledskin]

Not always. Not home - -[ she sounds almost almost indignant. teasing at the edge of offended ] They are very important words. You ought to listen to them.

[teenyoda]

Should I? Why, are you winter, Alayne? You coming for me?

[He was definitely teasing, sneaking around another tree, gun up and ready to find her.]

actually do you mind a switch to prose?

[steeledskin]

Ice and snow. [ the battle doesn't rage half so merrily as the sudden conflict between truth and ruse. sansa creeps leftwards and pushes back onto her feet. ] I am of a place called Winterfell, ser. And we win battles.

Not at all

"So your battle plan is to lure me into taking a nap by not doing anything?" He grinned, hopping over to another tree to skulk behind, pinpointing her voice and aiming a squirt at the tree he thought she was hiding behind.

i confess i prefer it. but also added advantage of no HTML on phone.

"My plan is to call my bannermen once more -" she heard the jet of water spatter over the bark above her shoulder. Close. But at a snap of her fingers, she had two more fairies hovering near. One broke cover to the right: a distraction.

Then feel free to use it with me anytime. I prefer it as well.

[teenyoda]

"Your whaterman?" He aimed a stream of pressurized water at the fairy, lured in by the distraction.

that sounds fantastic.

[steeledskin]

"My bannermen." She shouted even as she broke cover in the opposite direction and launched not one but two slow-arcing water-balloons into the air. "Those loyal to me and my house. My constant allies; my true friends."

=)

"Your cheating fairies, you mean." He saw the balloons coming and managed to grab the knot on one of them while the other pelted him. He stopped the one's course and reversed it, tossing it back at the fleeing form.
