PAINTBALLING / 👉

The All Star parking garage is not particularly well-named. Although it stands prominently five stories above ground and is difficult to miss over the much squatter roofs surrounding it along the outskirts of Maurtia Falls, the place doesn't appear to have seen formal use for some time. Probably in at least as many years as the garage is old. At the entrance, the booth windows are plastered with various posters of missing persons and pets, advertisements for local businesses and bands, and the odd wad of gum; it's obvious that it has been unmanned by a professional for years, and the gate arm hanging at half its length, probably broken long ago by some rowdy youths, helps to reinforce that appearance. Litter decorates the floor of the booth as well as the driveway and ramps in the form of blowing McDonald's burger wrappers, takeout Starbucks cups, and plastic grocery store bags, and nearly every inch of the rest of the garage itself has been covered with graffiti, besides. From the ground level to the roof various tags have been painted: walls, ceilings, floors, columns, and even numerous overflowing and empty garbage dumpsters have been vandalized. Not very all star when you think about it, right? But there's no better playing field for super-powered imPorts in a game of super-powered paintball! Before the game begins at 7 PM, Josuke and Hisoka will touch base with the players one last time to make sure everyone is familiar with the rules that were mentioned in the broadcast yesterday afternoon. Besides keeping Josuke informed of any players who are seriously hurt during the game so he can fix their injuries, there are of course only two rules that are especially emphasized: Anything goes, including powers, as long as nothing lethal is attempted. Getting shot 3 times means you're out of the game and the winner is the last man standing. After that, if you haven't already done so, it'll be time to double and triple-check your equipment (you don't want to be that player whose gun malfunctions at a critical moment, do you?) and to introduce (or scope out, if you prefer) yourselves to the rest of the players congregating at the entrance. You'll have a few minutes to find teammates or form alliances if you like, and for those of you opting to go the distance alone, you may be able to overhear strategies being discussed that will help you outlast other players! Whoever you are, however you've decided to play, you would still do well to remember: there can only be one winner, so guard your back! And, as those who've chosen to spectate each take up their preferred vantage points offsite, as the final 60 seconds wind down and players are all rush onto the playing field in order to get into position before all hell breaks loose, as the air itself begins to feel alive with a charge that's almost electric, it's—GAME ON!

SHOOT-EM UP

[unbreaker]

[YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO! GO FIGHT WIN, BITCHES!]

Hisoka : GAME ON : OTA

[debauchewy]

[While he and Josuke do spend more of the game around eachother, if not close but far away and tracing eachother's steps to better happen on unsuspecting inmPorts, Hisoka can still be found by himself at times. A few examples of that might be:

Outside of the building, using his hands and feet to some how climb up the side of the building to floors above and then climb over the ledges to get onto said floors.

Heading down or up one of the behind doors stair ways while Josuke takes the others side.

Crouched on the ceiling and ever so quiet and some how really really stealthed, something about him makes you not even look his way, aside from the high ceilings and hanging cement slabs of the parking structure of course. He's using a Nen ability called Zetsu to hide his presence.

Tuuuuuurning a CORNER WATCH OUT.]

[Many of these instances maybe you saw him before he saw you? Maybe your just about to be seen by him? Maybe it's going all according to plan. Hard to say, but your chance to get a hit on him could be now.]

[Oh one more thing:

He's set up traps around him where ever he goes. Your feet might get stuck to the floor, you might find yourself some how glued in place by an invisible web. None of it can be seen at first. And it certainly can pull off or break, even if you have super strength. But you sure can use those muscles to stretch whatever it is for a while, before the tension gets too much and you might begin to slow down.]

[OOC: Feel free to pick any one or hit me up through private messages if you want to plan something here!]

[killectric]

[Killua knew Hisoka was going to be playing, so he kept Gyo on from the get-go. There's no way in hell he was going to get him trapped up in his Bungee Gum for a second time!

He wasn't going out of his way to find Hisoka, but then he could see the traps he's laid and curiosly followed, even if his Zetsu prevents him from finding him by aura. Killua was careful of his footing and completely silent as he walked, memorizing the traps in the area before he releases his Gyo to hide himself with Zetsu. He knows that doesn't mean Hisoka can't find him, but it should stop him from pinpointed him directly.

He peaks just around the corner--and lucky him, Hisoka was turning the corner at that exact moment. Like a startled cat, Killua rockets into the air and grabs the ledge of the ramp above, flipping himself over onto the next floor.

Hisoka was fast--there's no way he'd be able to out quick-draw him at that range!]

[debauchewy]

[Smart kid. Only those that know Gyo, or maybe some similar aura based ability, would be able to track his traps by sight. But in during using Gyo, Hisoka can easily track that he's being followed. Well, before that aura is suddenly gone. he smirks. Oh come now, Killua, you know better, your aura suddenly disappearing with Zetsu? He knows you're using it now. But then, it's not as though Killua's trying to hide that he's following him. He's trying to hide his exact location.]

[So he's aware of the boy being close, not that he'll change his movements. But he will continue to leave Bungee Gum traps, new ones, in the hall he's in.]

[Not that it... matters. He watches Killua's flip the hell out of range and laughs to him, standing. Waiting. Really boy. He's not going to chase you. You've given him enough of a reason to not bother. You're not worth his time.]

[How's that feel?]

[killectric]

[Killua waits, he hears the laugh, but no footsteps to signal Hisoka's approach. When he lifts his head up just enough to peek over the ledge he finds the guy still standing exactly where he left him. It doesn't seem too out of the ordinary though, since he knows Hisoka likes to play around. He wasn't the type to rush in for a kill if he was having fun.

Quiet still, Killua crouch-walks his way down the ramp, darting from cover to cover and making it back down to the same floor as Hisoka. Once he's got his back covered and his head out of view, he peeks again.

Still not moving? If he can get behind him maybe he'll actually have a chance of landing a hit.]

[debauchewy]

[Not moving. Not moving...]

[And then just.

Walking away.]

[killectric]

[Waiting. Waiting...

Where's he going?!

Fine, if he's going to turn his back on him then Killua's going to shoot him right in his stupid butt. Take that.]

finally tags this thing!!!

[wayhot]

[Hisoka is spotted while he's running up the side of that building, though with how bright she is even on a bad day, noticing her won't be difficult in the slightest. Still, she isn't worried about it. Flame Princess was never particularly stealthy, so ambushes and surprises are usually out of the question. But she has some ideas and since there's no rules (except don't kill anyone), she may as well just go with it. Though it'll probably be wise to start with a distraction first before trying to actually shoot him.

... Fire is usually a pretty decent distraction.

Sorry, Hisoka. No chatter right now, just a lot of fire coming your way.]

Nice nice

[debauchewy]

[He'll notice, yep, the heat, the presence of the fire. Some of it hits the wall next to him, good thing it's made of stone. It leaves a rough looking scorch mark and in response he turns his head, glancing back to-

OOhh! You, hello.]

[No real response to her, but he'll play keep away for a while from those r=fire attacks before suddenly disappearing over one of the ledges and into a floor of the parking structure.]

[wayhot]

[She continues to blast fire at him, hoping that him trying to dodge all that will actually give her a chance to properly shoot him, but then he just goes over the ledge and out of her sight.

She frowns, but quickly flies right over and follows after him. It takes a bit more flying and searching before she finally catches sight of him again. Another blast of fire, but this time it isn't aimed at Hisoka - just the space ahead of him. And she'll fire a couple of shots immediately after, hopefully the flames ahead of him will make him hesitate long enough for one of those shots to actually hit.

And if not? Well, she still has plenty of ammo left.]

Killua | OTA

[killectric]

[Killua's gun of choice was pretty small, small enough even to be tucked into his shorts or the front pockets of his hoodie and hidden completely from view. He'd ditched the skateboard once the game started in favour of silent footsteps and speedy retreats behind concrete columns and dumpsters.

He approaches his attacks in a few different ways:

There's the sneak attacks... Killua popping out of or behind dumpsters, walls, columns. His silent footsteps lend himself to stalking people and waiting for the perfect chance to shoot. It's much harder to sneak-up on him, and he's constantly checking his back or keeping it to a wall.

Honestly though, he finds it much more fun to surprise people. Sometimes he'll approach innocently, empty hands raised and casual. "Hey don't shoot, I lost my gun," he'll admit and try to goad the other player into lowering their own before he whips out his paintball pistol and shoots. If they shoot first, he's more than ready to dodge and retaliate.

Direct conflicts are just as fun, and Killua won't spare any gloating if he comes out the victor when somebody tries to rush him first.]

[OOC: Feel free to PM/PP me if you have any specific ideas in mind! These are all general catch-all prompts.]

[deadtective]

[sneak attacks don't always go as planned, no matter how carefully they're prepared. Killua will find that's the case the next time he goes to clamber into a dumpster for a hiding spot - there's a startled sound, and then someone is trying to shove him back up and out.]

Hey, hey, this one's taken! Find your own!

[killectric]

[The like-minded player barely has a chance to start shoving before Killua pulls out his paint gun, aiming down with one leg still thrown over the side of the dumpster and his other hand propping up the lid.]

Or hey, I could just knock you out of the game right now.

[deadtective]

[since Hazel is cheating to the highest power, she's not really all that concerned about getting a faceful of paint. she's got layers of clothes to burn, and in a secreted away place like this it's all hearsay even if he decides to press his 'kill'.

there's a whole slew of snappy comebacks she's got lined up and ready to toss out there - and then she finally gets a good look at him as he starts talking. her faces scrunches up somewhere between horror and rage.]

Oh my god when the fuck did you get back, you little shit.

[HEY GUESS WHO KNEW YOUR PREVIOUS ITERATION KILLUA

the shoving resumes with renewed vigor, and she starts slapping at the hand propping up the lid in the hopes he'll let go and drop it on his dumbass head. in the confusion she'll start using her own gun as threat leverage, but right now she just wants him out.]

[killectric]

You know me? [It's not the first time he's heard that, but it has been awhile--so he's really curious. Especially when she didn't seem to have a very good opinion of him.

The shoving doesn't really go anywhere, his grip on the lid subtly tightens to compensate, and while she's doing all that he throws his other leg over so he's standing inside.] Cool, fill me in.

[deadtective]

[fuck her tiny baby arms and her delicate frame, it's not nearly enough to facilitate the rage which fuels her.

she continues pushing and shoving at him for several more moments, including a lot of ineffectual slapping, before finally giving it up as a lost cause and picking the paintball gun in her lap back up to aim it. if he's not leaving, they can at least have a Mexican standoff for a while before she thinks of some way to cheat her way out of here.]

Like fucking hell I will! Don't you have some toddlers to step on or something?

[ah, the creative and completely nonsensical insults she cooks up when she's flown completely off the handle. always a treat.]

[unbreaker]

[Josuke's all for those direct confrontations. There's something about a six-foot-tall muscle-bound teenager barreling towards somebody that tends to stall them in their tracks and give him an advantage that he just loves, you know? And it's great for a laugh after he can pump a couple shots onto someone's vest before running off again.

That's how he meets Killua, in fact. Coming down off one of the ramps, and there's this kid right in front of him and seemingly unarmed. For a split second, Josuke even believes those hands shooting up are both casually and honestly pleading, but then he's gotta wonder...

Why isn't there a spot of paint on him?!

Josuke's Stand—likely only to be visible to Killua if he's using gyo—hangs defensively over his shoulders from behind as Josuke himself points his gun at the younger boy.]

You expect me to buy that?

[And he fires! POP POP! Two shots straight for the sneaky little punk!]

[killectric]

[Okay, but Killua's plan almost worked, and that cocky, self-satisfied smile really says that that's good enough for him. He can see the Stand since he is using Gyo, but he doesn't really know what to make of it yet--only that he will be sure to be cautious and not get too close just yt.]

Well, kind of. [He looks the gun straight down the barrel, only twisting his body out of the way at the last second. The paintballs go flying past, splashing uselessly against the wall and leaving Killua's hoodie as immaculately paintless as ever. Definitely not that clean, though. He'd been hiding in trash cans all day.]

But I guess I didn't have anything to worry about, you can't even aim! [He flips his own small paintball pistol out of his pocket and fires off two shots at Josuke, one slightly more to the left than the other.]

Hazel Lockwood | MURDAH MUZIK - i mean ota

[deadtective]

[YEAH GAME ON, LET'S WRECK SOME SHIT.

all that scoping out beforehand has done Hazel well - she's reasonably familiar enough with the garage that she knows where the more decrepit bits are. quite often you'll bump into her, only to find her turning tail and fleeing almost immediately; following will more often than not lead to you tripping over piles of rubble or straight into an unexpected pillar before being pelted with paint. any hits she suffers with this strategy are easily removed by discreetly pulling off one of her shirts.

most of the time, however, she can be found hiding in a dumpster wedged firmly in one of the corners. this would be undignified if not for the fact that it's been so long since anything but spent spray paint cans were tossed in here that the usual trash smell has completed dissipated. it makes for an ideal fortress, right down to the lid she can pull shut defensively or pop out of for a surprise sniper shot. she'll defend this spot to her last breath - and she's not above throwing some of those spent cans at people's heads, either.

no matter where she's going or what she's doing, Hazel will have her nullification powers active. superpowers of all kinds will cease to work in a sixty-five foot radius around her - and that includes above, sorry. you laid any super-traps in an area she runs through? sorry, those'll need to be reset too. if you weren't skimming her bravado-filled clusterfuck of a response to Josuke's initial post, this might come as a nasty surprise to you. not like she told anyone else she could do this.]

[ooc; if you want a specific/closed scenario aside from these, let me know! I'm more than happy to oblige. c:]

[killectric]

Hey, you--! [By the time Killua spotted Hazel, she'd already started to run and he gives chase, pulling out his paint-pistol and preparing to fire as soon as she's in sight. He knows he shot her three times, so what was she still doing in the game? What a dirty cheat!

He's all confidence until he starts to close in and feels something drain--no, that's not the right word. He feels almost stuffy. Suddenly he can't use gyo, he can't produce or see aura at all, it's all locked up inside. Killua stands dumbstruck as he struggles to reach his Nen, seeming like an easy target in the middle of the floor.]

[deadtective]

[ugh, how many times was she going to run into this kid? Hazel's pretty annoyed until she notices him suddenly abandoning the chase, looking pretty confused. well, hey, if he's going to give her the opening...]

What's the matter, forgot where you were going?

[she skids to a stop and turns back, firing off at him with her own gun. vengeance is gonna be sweeeeet.]

[killectric]

[Killua cared more about why his Nen was gone than the fact a paintball just hit him in the chest, but it does snap him back to reality. He jolts, looking up and scowling. He went this whole game without getting hit once, and she went and took a cheap shot that shouldn't even count.]

You're cheating! [He points at her from across the room, loud and obnoxious.] I shot you out earlier!

[deadtective]

No idea what you're talking about!

[Hazel shrugs expansively, completely brazen in her denial. is she just going to pretend that whole thing never happened? you bet she is! the fact she actually managed to nail him with one of those shots just adds to the smug air about her.]

Sabriel : OTA

[bindsthedead]

[Sabriel's tactics rely mainly on her magic, in various forms. She spends part or the time using spells of concealment to make herself and her allies hard to spot, even as she's launching paintballs- and other spells- at her opponents.

Said spells tend to involve blindness and immobility, in various combinations- either rendering people unable to use any part of their body, or just sticking their feet to the floor. If pulled into a direct confrontation, she'll get more creative- people may find their paintguns flying out of their hands and into Sabriel's arms as the game goes on.

Her aim is surprisingly good, and she's unnervingly fast- again, due to magical assistance. She's not above slowing down her opponents either.]

Kaneda | OTA

[rassera]

[No one said vehicles weren't allowed, right? Because if there's one thing Kaneda's become an expert on, it's how to shoot and drive at the same time. And what a perfect location for it too--a parking garage had directions. There was no way he'd have trouble navigating this place.

The only problem? He's a slightly good kid and doesn't want to hit people--so he has to also go a bit slower than normal for that reason. He trusts people, but not that much!!

It's for your own safety alright. But with the paintball gun on one arm and his hand on the handle of the bike, he's swerving in and out of lanes.]

Head's up!!!

[OOC: His bike disappears if you can knock him off it, and he'll be grounded for the rest of the paintball match so if you wanna set up something specific, hit me up!!]
