The Preserve Wednesday Afternoon

[glacial_queen]

Karla stood in front of the Reserves, grinning widely at them. She was doing her best to keep her smile friendly and welcoming, but every so often, her gaze would stray over to the large, covered mound at her feet, and her grin would shade oh-so-slightly towards 'wicked.' "Kiss kiss," she greeted everyone as they noshed on treats and coffee courtesy of J,GOB and the Perk. "Thanks for coming to the Magic Reserves today. If it's your first time here, welcome, and if you've been here before, welcome back."

"So, while our group has the potential to do so much more, the main reason we were organized was to lend magical support during an invasion. Every so often, then, we feel as if we should focus on using powers in combat situations, in order to give you the feel of such things without any of the danger. This way, if--okay, with this island, when we're called upon to defend ourselves and the other people on Fandom, you already have a bit of practice under your belt. So, as I'm sure you've already guessed--today is one of those days." With a flourish worthy of a stage magician, Karla pulled the cloth off of the mound, revealing a pile of paintball guns. Next to them were several stacks of clean, well-worn clothing.

"Today we're going to deal with incoming projectiles," Karla announced. "Feel free to stop the paint any way you like. Burn it, freeze it, use TK to push it aside, shield against it, make the other person feel bad for shooting at you, whatever. Or simply dodge out of the way, hide behind someone else, however you feel most comfortable, with powers or without. The important part is not getting hit. It is paintball, however, so don't worry about hurting anyone. So come on up, grab a paintball gun and something to go over your clothes, and let's begin!"

Arrive and Mingle

[glacial_queen]

Eat the tasty foods supplied. Grab some now, because they'll be put away when the paintball guns come out.

Alex grabbed some coffee and a snack because she could never pass up something from J,GOB.

Fooooooood yay. Dinah took a muffin and grinned at Karla, glad she seemed in a good mood today.

Projectiles, Arthur could deal with. It was less ridiculous than last week's, at least, so he was happily situated near the back and watching.

Well, for some degree of 'happily', anyway.

Danny grabbed a coffee and a couple cookies.

Raven helped herself to an apple as she listened to Karla.

Liir came, as always, though he was, well, rather certain this wouldn't go well.

Foods! Tara could eat foods. She got a snack and watched the group.

Leda had been earwormed this morning, and so was humming (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_58LoI60g8) today. Because she hadn't learned the words yet.

Play

[glacial_queen]

Dodge incoming paintballs! Use magic to get rid of them! Duck and cover!

Be creative!

Re: Play

"Yes!" The last time Dinah had gotten to play with these it was Girls with Guns Club, so it was long overdue to play again. She pulled on a coverall and grabbed a gun, then went to loook for a place to hide and shoot from.

Re: Play

Danny transformed so he could use his powers, and then took to the air. "Good luck hitting me up here," he yelled, as cocky as ever.

Re: Play

[glacial_queen]

Well, that required a response, didn't it?

Karla grabbed a paintball gun and ran up the air like it was an invisible staircase. "You mean like this?" she said, sending a few paintballs at him. The gun wasn't anything like the ones she'd been practicing with Triela, so it took a few shots to adjust to it properly.

Re: Play

[trigons_child]

Raven did not put on coveralls. She had never worn pants and wasn't about to start at that point. Nor would she touch a gun, but she reminded herself it was just practice, and honing her defense skills was important. She sat on the ground openly, waiting.

Re: Play

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda could only assume this was a trap. "That's very effective."

Re: Play

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir decided to try something.

He decided to just want DESPERATELY not to be hit. Maybe that would work? It had when it came to plants and the broom, right?

Re: Play

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

*zing!* a paintball whizzed by his shoulder. And Leda thought she was a better shot than that.

Re: Play

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda crouched, catlike, ready to dodge and return fire should anyone decide to make her day.

She could think of a few spells to try in a situation like this.

Talk to the Leaders

[glacial_queen]

We're here!

Re: Talk to the Leaders

[glacial_queen]

Karla was there, and happy to talk to anyone.

Re: Talk to the Leaders

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" Dinah bounced over later, paint-splattered and happy. "How's your day going, oh fearless leader type?"

Re: Talk to the Leaders

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

Merlin most certainly was! And was edging away from the guns. He would rather not turn a color, thank you!

OOC

[glacial_queen]

I need an appropriate OOC icon. *sadface*

Re: OOC

[bigdamndestiny.livejournal.com]

I... really (http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9105/igotbored.jpg) have no idea.

Pester thatsamilkshake! She has the pretty Photoshop skills.

Damn, Elisabeth Harnois is apparently incapable of taking a bad or weird picture.

I did a google search for something fun and this is about all I came up with. My photoshop skills are seriously lacking so I will not be the least bit offended if you don't use any of them.
