Interacting with @Miranda Everest

As Paisley walked toward the designated area for the water fight, she wondered for what felt like the millionth time why she had signed up in the first place. Nobody had twisted her arm to enter like her few friends had in the past for social events. It had been of her own volition and completely out of character for her. But, in the back of her mind, her mother and father’s wishes that she ‘live it up’ whispered, steering her to write her name on a piece of paper and, in turn, stand outside on a hot day to spray water at other kids she didn’t know. She sighed, reaching up to fix the messy bun piled on top of her head and straighten the floral button down tucked into her jean shorts. She’d chosen to wear a pair of Chacos, sure to dry easily in the event of them getting wet.

As she arrived on the grounds, she took note of how the ‘arena’ was set up. 8 boxes were set up for what seemed to be cover and there were two options to choose from; water guns or water balloons. Paisley was far more an intellectual than someone who solved things with brute strength, so she naturally gravitated toward the water guns. After listening to the instructions, she was quick to set off to hide. She looked around and noticed the girl she’d met briefly on accident when she’d been reading. Briefly pausing, she ran in her direction and slid behind Box 8 with her.

With her back against the box, she looked over at the girl, water gun in hand. “Miranda, right? Would you want to form an alliance? You cover my back and I cover yours,” she offered. It would certainly be more advantageous to have two sets of eyes instead of one. Plus, as a first year, it would be more beneficial for her.

Alexei really wasn't sure why he had decided to do this stupid water fight beyond the fact that he looked really good in a wet tee shirt. He didn't particularly like getting wet and messy but then again, this was a chance to throw things at people and not get in trouble for it. He reached the group where students were already gathering. Some stuttering Hogwarts boy explained the rules of the game and Alexei fidgeted impatiently.

Once the boy finished giving instructions, Alexei selected a bucket of water balloons. He had a decent throwing arm and he imagined that the other option would require reloading often enough to more than outweigh the annoyance of having to carry around a bucket.

Once the game began, he quickly ducked behind one of the boxes. Alexei was not a hothead like some of the Hogwarts students were. Especially those ones from that red and gold house, Gryffins or whatever they called themselves. Hogwarts students as a whole generally seemed more aggressive and less strategic than their Durmstrang counterparts. Alexei had no problem biding his time and waiting for the people to eliminate each other before he made himself a target by taking out people.

As he scanned the field of players, it seemed that most everyone had a similar strategy to his own, which irritated him slightly. Still, he could work with that. As he looked around, he noted that the short boy with the girl's haircut who had slammed into him that first night was there. He mentally resolved to peg that child in the face with a water balloon if he got the chance. Poetic justice or something...

MENTIONING: @Serena Towers

𝓘t was time for Amadea to participate in the next activity she had signed up for; she was honestly on a roll with all of these activities. She had promised herself she would try more new things but Amadea hadn't actually thought she would follow through with her promise. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) she had. Of course, Amadea was aware there was a specific reason why she had chosen to participate in so many events that didn't have to do with the promise she had made with herself and had more to do with things she was trying to avoid thinking about. With the number of things going on at summer camp, it was working.

Amadea looked around as the game was preparing to start. The sun was shining; it was a perfect day for a water fight and Amadea was happy to participate. Though she was not sure if she would actually be any good at the game, she was excited to see what was going to happen. Amadea didn't know many of the other people that were playing, they all seemed to be in different years than she was, but Amadea did recognize her housemate, Serena Towers. While Amadea and Serena had never become the closest of friends, Amadea enjoyed spending time with her.

The game started and she quickly went and grabbed a water gun, figuring that she could aim better with the gun rather than throwing balloons. After that, she noticed many people were scrambling to take cover, so she headed toward the nearest box to hide behind. She glanced behind her shoulder trying to see if she could find Serena; maybe the two girls could team up. Spotting the girl's brown hair, Amadea gestured toward the box she was hiding behind, hoping that Serena would see her and come join. Amadea didn't want to risk calling out to the girl in case someone else tried to shoot at her while she was talking so she hid herself as best she could and tried to think about who she should target next.

Summer was here, the weather was perfect and it was time to play games! Everything was great. Well almost everything. She was hardcore ignoring the fact that she could see her brother standing not too far away, being his usually annoying self. Arjan did not even seem to notice her but whatever. She had friends here, she did not need him or his acknowledgement. This was her turf. Sort of. Well... There were Hogwarts students around, so that made it her turf.

Serena grinned as she looked around the field. A water fight. Game on. She was a little surprised to see Jake there - given how he reacted during last summer's water fight. However, it showed some growth and development. Perhaps he was less afraid of water balloons now! Either way, it was great. She was pleased to see him.

Though most of the faces were unfamiliar to her, she did recognise a few people. Grinning as she spotted one of her friends, Amadea. She rocked on her feet - almost trying to get her attention - as the rules were explained. Right. Rules. She should probably be focused on that and actually paying attention. Turning back to Alan, she listened carefully to the rest of what he was saying. It sounded simple enough. Get a weapon, don't get hit. That was... doable, right? Well, it was easier said than done but she sure as hell could make every attempt at doing it.

As soon as they were allowed, she found herself rushing to Jake, "Thanks Jake!" She called out as she grabbed a Water Gun from him. She was so ready for this! Quickly looking at the pitch, she quickly searched. Her brown eyes scanned the grounds quickly, trying to find the best place to go. Strategies were not really her thing, in all honesty. But something else was. The ability to spot the smallest things. It was what made her an excellent seeker. Grinning as she spotted Amadea's hand, she crouched down low and made a quick dash towards her. There was even a roll at one point, trying to avoid anyone actually hitting her as she ducked behind the box, "Hey-" She whispered, slightly breathlessly as she quickly pressed herself up against the box, next to Amadea.

Outfit

Katrina was pretty excited for something else to do. Besides the few events Hogwarts had hosted so far, Katrina had spent most of her time drawing or writing in the tent or outside somewhere where no one would really bother her. It wasn't that she didn't want to be bothered, but that she was dealing with a lot. The rest of the year she had had enough to think about that her fears and doubts didn't really bother her, she could simply go for a run or do homework. But now, she had so much time on her hands and way too much to think about. So when she was invited to a summer water fight, Katrina leapt at the opportunity.

Katrina had taken her time changing into a cooler outfit since it was much hotter outside the tent. She was wearing a new shirt, one she had borrowed from someone at some point. Katrina didn't exactly remember where she had got it, but she had never really liked it. Her pants she had borrowed from Bridget. It was hard hiding the fact that she only had a handful of outfits, really she only had three, but she was making it work so far. The outfit was suited for the sunny weather, the shirt covering the large obvious scar on Katrina's slowly tanning forearm. The mosp sting had left it's mark. Katrina didn't purposefully hide it, but it made her feel embarrassed when people glanced at it or commented on it.

It felt like Katrina arrived late when several people had already arrived at the site. However, she listened in as Alan instructed everyone. Seemed simple enough. Hopefully she wouldn't get wet and she could win. But deeper down, Katrina knew she would likely be out pretty fast, she really wasn't that competitive. However, she would still be putting all of her effort into winning, the victory feeling was uncommon for the girl, but something she still strived for.

First, water balloons or water gun. Katrina took a moment to decide. She was horrible at throwing things, and having to return to the bucket each turn really didn't sound to great. But also, she wasn't the best at aiming and having to reload every time seemed like a hassle. In the end, Katrina grabbed a water gun, nodding thanks to the boy handing the stuff out. Hopefully her choice would be worth it in the end.

Alan called out the rules and began the game. It seemed like people already started to team up. Duos took cover behind the boxes and Katrina didn't even have time to pay attention to where everyone was hiding because she was running off as soon as the game began. As she bolted across the field, she found that each box seemed to be taken. Not good. Would it be too sinister to take someone out in the first few seconds, because it was looking like that was the only option.

The realization dawned on her that she was going to have to take someone out. But who? Eventually Katrina came across her target. First year at first glance, the girl would have no clue what she had coming. But Katrina knew she couldn't take someone out simply on her own. Then, Katrina found her saving grace. Adonis Thorn. She knew him well enough that she (somewhat) trusted him not to hit or shoot her. "Adonis! Team?" Her words were loud enough for him to hear, but not really loud enough for everyone else to either. So long as he said yes, she would toss her head in the direction of her target. A box.

Katrina would creep up as quietly and quickly as she could. If she could take out the girl with the aid of Adonis, she could have a box to hide behind. And the box could be her saving grace. Time to win this game. Katrina raised up the gun and in one fluid move, jumped into view of the girl and shot. Hoping with all of her will that Katrina's aim would land true and she could dodge the next attack.

When Cash opened their eyes after they woke up inside of their tent, they sweating. They about to go for their daily morning run but decided against it. Today is a hot day and running under the scorching sun is not one of their agenda for today. The day before today, Cash signed up for Water Fight and because how hot today is, it is a perfect excuse to get wet.

They took shower then change for today outfit. Today the green eyes girl wearing a grey tee with a bit ripped on both of their shoulders. The tee has a 'WHATEVER' on it. A black short pants and to completed their look, they wore grey sneakers. The same color like their tee. Their hair done in half ponystyle. After they satisfied about their look, they walked out from their tent.

The purple hair girl marched up to where Mars tent located. "Mars, hurry up!"Cash hollered from outside of the other wix tent. "I want to get the best spot"They added. Cash waited for several minutes then Mars popped out. Cash then grab the short hair wix hand and drag them. "I do not care if you ready or not, if we do not get going we will loose great spot"They dragged the Raven girl.

Upon arriving at the field where the game will be, it already filled out with a bunch of people. Some they recognize it, some they do not. "See this is what I am talking about"They said to the other person. Cash squinting their eyes. The sun beam hurting their eyes. This is the first time they did not wear any shades that can protect their eyes.

Cash, Mars and the other students listened to what Alan said. Alan explain about the rules and what they must do during the game. After Alan done with his speeches, Cash line up with the other students that will take a water gun as their choices of weapon. When Alan said go, all of them scattered hurriedly and Cash a tad bit too late to aim their initial box to hide into with Mars.

All of boxes filled up fast. Some occupied with duos, some hide behind the box alone. "Looks like you and I must split up"Cash said a bit disappointed to Mars. Both of them already had a plan a night before, now their plan ruined. "Do not shoot me"Cash said picked up their water gun then run.

From all angles water being pelted. Cash slide to a box beside a boy. Cash realize it is the same boy that surrounded with girls the night where BBQ being held some days ago. "What is your plan?"Cash ask the boy. The boy looks older than they are. It is not a proper etiquette how to greet someone they do not know but they can worry about it later.

Cash popped up a bit to see their surrounding then quickly hide again. "I am Cash. You are?"Cash inform the boy. They are holding the water gun against their left shoulder with their left hand.

If you asked Johannes why he had voluntarily signed up to be shot in every which way with water and basically ruin his hair for a good amount of the day, he wouldn't really be able to give you a reason, except that it was a free pass to shoot at people and watch them sputter without consequences or real need to. Which, isn't really a reason because give him a chance at causing chaos and he'd take it, game or not. Anyway, the point is that there was a water fight and Johannes had happily signed up to blast people with water.

July 30th, the last day of summer camp before they would have to head back home- or not, depending on whatever their guardians wanted, and Alexander Manfred was still desperately entrenched in the family business back in western Germany and trying to tie things up in time for Johannes to come back from London without having to leave again. June 30th, apparently also the day of the waterfight- er, at least that's what it seemed, considering how many people gathered in one place. And while Johannes had arrived quite late and just barely managed to catch the stuttered instructions- though he didn't really care much, he had a bit of a bad habit of zoning out in the middle of irrelevant speeches and redundant information- he got the gist. Hit people, avoid getting hit twice and reload every two shots with the water gun.

It was quite obvious the moment he had seen their arsenal of 'weapons' which one to pick. After all, he was told by his grandfather that his aim was decent after all, keep it up and maybe he could be introduced to some heftier things, and the Saur patriarch was very tight-lipped when it came to compliments. That, and lugging around a bucket of water balloons that were sure to squeak around did not seem very strategic.

Running into the line of fire that was the battleground of water, he all but slid behind the cover of one of the occupied boxes and glanced over at the girl already there, his water gun held down nonthreateningly as he probably stained his pants with green grass-juice with the move. "Yo, team?" Bless his fluency in English- muddled with German and Italian it was but at least he could actually be understood in what would most likely be a high energy game.

But disregarding his wonderful skill of language that he had practically been forced into learning, he really just hoped that the girl wouldn't immediately reject the offer and shoot him when he goes down. That was just dirty work, and he knew foul play like a pro.

What the actual hell had they been thinking? Mars muttered to themselves as they laced up their right shoe. Of all the stupid, idiotic, dumb as crap ideas they could have had, this one definitely took the cake.

"I'm coming," they called as Cash yelled from outside their tent, "Don't get your sweatpants in a twist!" Who knew if the Snake was actually wearing sweatpants. Probably not, seeing what was to come. At the thought, Mars let out another groan. This was dumb. They were dumb. Why the hell did they sign up for a water fight when they absolutely despited getting wet? Mars rolled their eyes, tying their left shoe into neat bunny ears. Because they were an idiotic masochist, that's why.

Finally popping out of the tent, the Ravenclaw met eyes with Cash. The two of them had talked over a strategy to prevent Mars getting wet win the night before. Making their way over to the area, it seemed that there were plenty of people who did not share the same sentiment as them. They eyed the water guns and the balloons, shivering at the thought of being soaked. This was dumb. They were dumb.

Screw their competitive nature for getting them into this.

At Alan's mark, everyone rushed to grab a weapon and find cover. Mars was left with Cash in a whirlwind of colorful clothing and dripping weapons. They moved to snag a water gun, figuring the light object would be better for dodging. Anything to keep themselves dry. Besides, god knows that they didn't have the strength to aim one of those balloons.

Spinning to face Cash again, they could see that most of the boxes were already occupied. At Cash's words, they sighed. Welp, there went the plan.

"Time to improvise, I guess," they replied. The two of them split off, Mars watching through their peripheral vision as the Slytherin ducked behind a box with a boy they didn't recognize. Right, noted, don't shoot that one. But enough about Cash, it was time to worry about themselves. They were sure as hell were not staying out in the open.

Spotting a seemingly empty one, they dove for cover, pulling their gun to their chest. It was not. Empty, they mean. Mars looked straight up into the eyes of a familiar face. Wincing, they straight up, letting out a sheepish smile.

"Autumn, right?" they asked. They'd met her at Katrina's start-of-summer scavenger hunt. An artist, if they recalled correctly.

Peeking out over the box to stare at the other participants, Mars sighed and turned back to her.

"So uh," they smiled wryly, extending a hand as an offer of peace, "How do you feel about not trying to kill each other for now?"
