Water Fight Triple Live

[we_meet_again]

Who: anyone
Where: the park
When: Day 128, afternoon

[The Live flips on to reveal Cobalt standing barefoot on the park lawn with Nemesis and Hurricane to either side. Cobalt’s in swim clothes, Nemesis has a knee-length swimsuit, and Hurricane’s in a wetsuit (or maybe it's just a new HSS outfit; given their aesthetic, who even knows.)

There are various large inflatable pool toys (models not included) drifting out on the lake behind them.]

WHEW! The days are getting hotter! How you guys doing? Staying cool? Soaked in your own sweat?! WELL!

Well – you know what that means. Summer’s here, the weather’s like a hundred and twenty-eight billion degrees, and this speech is totally here to inspire you. Cause you know what’s awesome when it’s hot out? Water fights. We wanna see you win this thing – so shoot to drench or go grenade style and get some splash damage in. C’mon out and show us your super soaker moves. Winner takes all, and you totally got it in you to win this one.

Even if you don't, it's all about rising to the challenge, thrill of the fight, honorable duel, yadda yadda--you know the drill by now. Either way, it's hot, and's not like you got anything better to do.

If you’re looking for a way to cool off, grab some swimwear and meet us at the park for a throwdown! Hurricane’s been helping me fill water balloons all morning. Bring your own water gun or borrow one of ours, which Pink is generously donating to the cause. We also have some pool toys for the lake! When you get here, please help us with some VERY IMPORTANT RESEARCH about water fight preferences!

[There’s a collection of buckets, each filled with a dozen or so water balloons each. Grab a bucket and go to town! Bring your empty bucket back for a water balloon refill.

There are also water guns in various shapes and sizes that anyone is free to borrow, or you can bring your own. Same deal with the pool toys: borrow one for the occasion or bring your own stupid-looking inflatable toy.

There’s even a homemade slip-n-slide if you feel like flinging yourself onto a wet sheet of plastic at high speed!]

I don't got no swimsuit, dude. And it's real sunny out.

[ also i'm still off kilter, am i even allowed to have fun. is this okay. ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

You want a wet suit? I could get you a wet suit.

That covers just about everything. After that, all you gotta do it like hook up an umbrella to a floatie and you're set.

[stakesthesame]

Maybe... You don't gotta get me nothin' though.

I'm fine with just watchin' everyone this time, it's all good.

[crossmyheartandhope]

You sure? You could at least snipe from the trees or something.

[stakesthesame]

... oh, maybe...

[ THINKS HARD hm ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Just say the word; I can help you get set up.

[stakesthesame]

[ considers it for a while longer before shrugging a little, with a lopsided smile ]

... I'll watch this time. I can't honestly imagine this is gonna be the only water gun fight you guys hold this summer.

[crossmyheartandhope]

If you say so, dude.

...you want a snack or something? I could get watermelon.

[stakesthesame]

I could DESTROY some watermelon dude.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Gimme like half a sec.

[He sketches a sloppy salute, then takes off toward the hotel at a dash.]

[stakesthesame]

Go go go!!

[ fistpumps ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Give him a couple minutes — and then he's back!!!]

[With one of those mini-watermelons that's like the size of someone's head.]

Tadaaaa.

[stakesthesame]

Ohhhhhh babymelon, gimme.
