WHO: Glitch, Gogo Tomago, Peter Quill, Dipper Pines, Mabel Pines, Agent Maine, Wasabi, Hiro Hamada, Tadashi Hamada, Marian Hawke, Robin (Dick Grayson), Wally West, Edward Elric, Ken Amada
WHERE: Outside of De Chima at Paintball Wasteland
WHEN: Wednesday, August 5th, afternoon
WHAT:Glitch is having a late birthday. Team battle of paint happens.
WARNINGS: teens and childish adults wailing on each other with fake guns, chaos ensues

Thanks to the work of Gogo, Glitch is finally doing something for his sixteenth birthday. The idea of pounding on people with paintballs is something Glitch couldn't pass up. They found an arena outside of De Chima.

While Glitch had control over the majority of the guest list, Gogo has invited some unknowns to the birthday teen. Suspicion is there, but, he's assuming nothing nefarious is about to happen.

So, grab your gear, bring your own, get a gun or or bow and get ready for Glitch's first ever birthday party.

Because he's a sad sack and you might as well pity him.

[The dog is so ready, but instead of a gun he's been given a pack of extra paintballs and also a pack of glitter. He's sitting at attention next to Ken who takes a look at his paintball gun, then at the team, then at Glitch.]

... I hope you know I've never aimed a firearm at anybody else before.

[glitchinthesystem]

[ He will never question why there's a dog on their team. Makes it easy to send messages or something he thinks.

Glitch just shrugs at Ken's statement. ]

Same. It'll be a learning experience. Only tips I got on guns is don't get shot. [ FUNNY JOKE RIGHT, KEN? ]

[amadaman]

Yeah, reassuring hearing that from you of all people.

[He says that quietly enough that only Glitch can hear at least!]

Don't waste your paintballs.

[glitchinthesystem]

Wow, rude as fuck, Ken. You're supposed to think I'm cool 'cause I'm older.

[ He says in a low tone back, but his voice is pretty much says he's joking. Enjoy the hair ruffles small one. ]

Don't plan on it. The grenades even less so. Gotta get them into like a kill zone.

[amadaman]

[HEY NOT THE HAIR.]

You haven't won that yet sort of respect yet. I can try smoking them out.

[glitchinthesystem]

[ Always the hair. Turn 13 and it stops, kiddo. ]

Now I gotta win it? Jesus, you old timey people have weird customs.

[ Still, he grins broadly. ]

Counting on it. Okay, what's the code name am I working with here?

[amadaman]

A what name?

[glitchinthesystem]

Code name, Ken. We're all taking one. Can't use our real names or the enemies will figure us out.

[ He may be taking this way too seriously. ]

[amadaman]

[A code name...................

amadaman]

Suggest one?

[glitchinthesystem]

I dunno, uh-

Ranger K?

[ HE DOESN'T KNOW. GOSH, KEN. ]

[amadaman]

... Sure.

I'll take it. It might stick.

[glitchinthesystem]

Great, so-

now we just have to figure a way to destroy the other team.

[amadaman]

The most effective way would be to turn them against each other.

[nostalgiabomb]

... Okay. Rule number one.

[ He takes Ken's gun, and adjusts the kid's grip on it. ]

Point it away from yourself. And your team.

[amadaman]

[Whoa where did you come from. Ken jumps as the gun is taken but he'll obediently move his hands as Peter shows him.]

Rule number two, don't put my finger on the trigger unless I really intend to shoot, right?

[He's had enough guns pointed at him to know!!]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ the star-lord is always there. ]

Usually. With real guns, anyway.

With paint guns? Probably okay to keep it there, unless you've got an itchy trigger finger.

[amadaman]

Nah, I'm good about that. What do you think? I can get pretty high up, so I can watch your back from a vantage point.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ he seems to give this idea due consideration. There is a hand on his chin and everything. ] Yeah? You think you'd be a good shot from that far away? Sniping's pretty difficult.

[amadaman]

I don't know if I'll be any good against moving targets, but this sort of game would have plenty of people hiding behind things. Being stationary...

[nostalgiabomb]

That's a pretty good point. If nothing else, it might draw them out of their cover, if you spook 'em.

[amadaman]

I can do that. Then you can get the people who get smoked out?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Peter gives Ken a smart salute. ]

Sir, yes, sir.

[ He lowers his voice a little. ] I'm kinda expecting the other time to go after the birthday boy, so I'm not too worried about casualties.

[amadaman]

As long as we don't have a rule like we lose if the leader's taken, we'll be okay.

At the very least, I think we'll win the long-term battle of who has to deal with the consequences longer. Mabel brought glitter.

[nostalgiabomb]

Did she?

[ He shudders. ]

I knew there was something dastardly about that girl. That's seriously messed up.

[amadaman]

It's more fun when there's a higher risk, right? I'm hoping to get some in Wasabi-san's hair.
