Camp WATER FIGHT Event Closed

Roleplaying as Durmstrang iNPC Arjan Oberoi

If anything, no one could say that Arjan was a quitter. Despite the odds stacking up against him, the boy did not hesitate to get his revenge or give up. He somehow managed to return fire on the cute girl and avoid getting hit again this round. It was a success by his books! He smirked towards her, throwing a wink her way as he arrogantly flexed his smile, knowing he had succeeded. But unfortunately, the girl was out and that was kind of a shame... He wanted to flirt around with her a bit more.

But there was still another that had caught his attention [LUCILLE]. She had attempted to pair up with the former on him, attacking with him with the water gun not too long ago. It was time for a bit of harmless fun and a chance at revenge. And the best way to get revenge was to go find and attack her. Revenge was a water balloon thrown at her chest, after all!

Grabbing a water balloon out of his bucket, with a smirk, his hazel brown eyes searched the grounds for the familiar face of the cute girl from earlier. Once he spotted her, he took his aim and launched the balloon across the field towards her, hoping to secure her attention again. It clearly did not take him long to get over the loss of the first girl and find another... Boy, oh boy, was he an idiot.

"Rats-" She whispered to herself as she missed but it was followed by a frown as she heard her target's words. Admittedly, she did feel kind of bad that they had successfully managed to knock the girl out of the game - especially given that Serena did not even know who she was. But... this was just a game, right? A bit of fun, right? Well, that was the way Serena felt about it. In this heat, getting hit by the water was probably kind of enjoyable. The whole fun was trying to dodge it and mess around, right?

Despite her justifications for it, she could not help but feel a bit bad, "Whoops... Perhaps we went too hard on her?" She mumbled towards Amadea, wondering if they should ease up a little next time. Unfortunately, there was little they could do for the target now, as she had already been knocked out.

Noticing her water gun was a little on the lighter side, Serena looked over to the refill area, "I have to go refill, I'll be back!" She whispered towards her partner in crime as she quickly tried to sprint over to the refill area and reload her weapon. She was hoping to return to Amadea and help defend her, if anyone else took their aim at her but first things first, she needed more water. Her eyes spotted her brother not too far away. He seemed distracted, aiming for someone else. Perhaps... she could get him out of this game next. She would not feel bad doing that - that was for sure!

Miss. But at least this time it wasn't due to something foolish like getting the sun caught in his eye from an unfortunate angle. What an embarrassing thing to do. A low sound of frustration left Johannes as he lowered the gun, the neon thing of plastic too low on water to have another shot and apparently the culprit of his current misgivings. He slammed the palm of his right hand onto the main capsule of the cheap toy as if it could have done anything- hey, it didn't hurt to try-

Meanwhile, his teammate fired off yet another at the edge of his peripheral vision, solidly taking out one for the taking before suggesting they run off together to take their refills. "Sounds good." And it was an okay plan, really, though half of him doubted it would be valid if people dared try to shoot at them while on the journey to refill- but that didn't stop him from being extra cautious as he dashed out of his hiding space into the open air, heading toward the out areas where the stands were.

He couldn't recall their name very well, but at least he knew their face with a distinctness that made it quick to find the place he needed to be. "Hey, could ya refill this for me please?" His empty water gun passed from one grasp to the other until it was filled to the brim and passed back, the attached cork put back into place. "Great. Thanks." Hopefully this time he wouldn't have the same luck attached to his weapon as just before.

Remember the tall, scary, and two-times-her-size Durmstrang guy?

Yeah, he was aiming at poor Lucille now.
Great.

You know what else is great?
Her water gun hadn't even been filled properly.

Which YAY meant she'd have to run all the way back to the Jack guy and refill it properly.

While making her way towards the boy's refill station again, Lucille would have to dodge more then a few rouge water balloons, an dven more then a fair share of stray water-squirts to top it all off.

How could things get any better?

"Erm..Hello again! Just uh..refilling my gun..again.."
She said awkwardly to Jack.

Hopeing that the gun wouldn't spill everywhere again, she closed the small filling hatch and began to scope out the area for 'Tall scary Durmstrang guy".

What was that guy's problem anyway?

Okay, she did actually aim at him once, but does aiming and terribly failing that aim make her the ultimate target?

To that Durmstrang guy, apparently the answer was yes.

In Lucille's state of..disarray, besides probably loosing all chances of winning, she would also fail to notice the large number of people who were now out of the game.

One member of the crowd specifically being 'Angry frizzy haired girl' who, like her new little nick-name stated, seemed to be very far from feeling any bit of happiness.

What could possibly make someone that upset?
Lucille would most likely wonder.

Why don't we see why then?

───── ⋆★⋆ ─────

The impact of the water balloon on their back and the feeling of it bursting sent a wave of dread through Mars. They could feel the liquid seep through their shirt, sticky and cold on their skin, raising goosebumps with every centimeter it spread.

F*ck. They shouldn't have joined. They really shouldn't have joined. They hated water, despised getting wet, and- a small wave of panic hit Mars full in the throat. This wasn't okay.

Gasping slightly, the Ravenclaw tried to get a handle on their emotions. It was a small water balloon. It won't spread anymore. It won't spread. Shaking eyes moved down to their dry front, the words repeating like a mantra in their head. It won't spread.

Dysphoria is a weird thing. A really weird, stupid thing. There were goosebumps on Mars' arms now, even though their limbs were dry under the hot sun. It was irrational, they knew. But there were memories- ugh! It was always the memories.

Your shirt is black. Calm down. Mars tried to breathe. Yes, it wasn't white this time. They'd be okay. They'd be okay. The wix looked up to Autumn and raised their pistol. Their hand tremored slightly as they made to raise the gun to someone beyond their box.

No. Mars couldn't do this. Normally, they'd have someone to direct their anger at, something to wrap themselves up in, time to disappear into their room for long enough that they'd dry off. Normally, they could play this off as pure annoyance. Most of the time it was. So why was it so strong now? Maybe they'd been on edge ever since they'd received that letter. They didn't know. But they couldn't do this.

"I- I'm sorry," they whispered to Autumn. With a staggering gait, they stood, raising their hands in a show of surrender. The wet spot on their back stretched as they shifted around, sending another wave of nausea through Mars. This was pathetic. But they really couldn't bring themselves to care.

With a few ragged deep breaths, the Ravenclaw ditched their gun in its original bucket and found a dry spot on the grass nearby. They curled their legs to their chest, eyes scanning the field. They felt awful for quitting, but they knew they'd feel worse the second something burst on their front and they- just couldn't ignore biology anymore.

Mars sighed. Oh well. They'd have to cheer from the sidelines.

Having a slight panic attack and Quitting.
I'm very sorry!

Combat
It was clear that the water fight was slowly but steadily heading towards an end as already more than half of all the students lost both of their imaginary lives within this game as they were either hit by a balloon, struck by a water gun or simply left because they could not stand the feeling of getting wet, fleeing the field like a cat. However the water fight was still going on and whoever needed a re-fill for their water gun would head towards Jake and abandon their cover behind some of the boxes. Finally Jake had something to do and Alan would assist him by taking some of the work load from his hands as he helped re-fill some of the water guns with some more water. @Henry Knight walked over to them and for a quick moment Alan confused him with Sylvain who was dear acquaintance he had met a couple of times, but he quickly realized a few certain differences between them and gave the unfamiliar kid a kind smile. "Hey thanks, and yeah I am quite curious about how this will end!", he would agree with an excited chirp. "I am Alan, by the way and that is Jake," he would then mention over to the little badger and helper. Upon hearing his name Jake would give the kid a shy smile before casting an unsure gaze towards Alan as the boy walked off. Alan returned the look with a reassuring smile as he handed back the last water gun to a student who would join back with the others on the field.

Reducio

Alexei Petrov → Autumn Ivy
Strength: >10
Accuracy: 9 | 14
Evasion: 14

Alexei would be brave and go for @Autumn Ivy who was ready to dash and get her water gun re-filled but things were not about to go his way. Sure he threw the balloon well but his aim was completely off and instead it would hit the box Autumn had been hiding behind.

Reducio

Remi Yao → Ariana Walker
Accuracy: 12 | 8
Veela Charm: failed
Evasion: 12

Ariana was beautiful she really was, there was just something pretty about her but @Remi Yao had a goal in mind and he would not let what he saw rule over his mind and neither did any of the other contestants. It was hardly necessary as @Ariana Walker had no issue jumping out of the way, dragging her bucket with water balloons with her.

Reducio

Ariana Walker → Remi Yao
Strength: >10
Accuracy: 13 | 12
Evasion: 27

Despite having dodged out of the attacks way @Ariana Walker wanted revenge and tried to throw one of the water balloons at the Gryffindor who with far too much ease evaded the attack, probably expected it and could react in advance.

Reducio

Arjan Oberoi → Lucille Williams
Strength: >10
Accuracy: 21 | 20
Evasion: 9

With strength and good aim @Lucille Williams seemed to stand no chance against the attack from Arjan and with this Lucille would lose her first life during the water fight. Last but not least @Autumn Ivy picked up her water gun but would find that it was empty and needed a re-load. Same would be going for @Remi Yao as he would feel his water gun grow light.

Conclusion

Those who were hit:
- Alexei Petrov (1/2)
- Arjan Oberoi (1/2)
- Melissa Carson (1/2)
- Paisley Bellweather (1/2)
- Mars T'ien left → out
- Lucille Williams (1/2)

Those who need to re-load:
[spend a full action by going to Jake and giving him the water gun for a re-load]

Remi Yao
Autumn Ivy

Players Left: 16/30

Mentions: @Aurelia Roberts

Soon enough, Greta had a fresh new pistol in hand, the water in the chamber sloshing merrily with the promise of shots to come as she retreated. Evidently, her weapon hadn't broken; it had just run out of water and been in need of replenishment. Would that she had known that prior to discarding her previous one. Nonetheless, she had a new, freshly filled one now and would soon make good use of it. Especially considering that although the little Norwegian had approached the water boy initially with caution, more than a little nervous to be putting herself so in the open and at the mercy of those on the battlefield to scope her out, she now walked away with an ally. Or at least.. she was pretty sure the girl was an ally? Admittedly, Greta hadn't quite understood what the brunette had said, but the girl had been quick to lower her weapon on approach and then had asked something of Greta in an expectant tone.

"Ehm.. You and me?" Greta asked, though, index finger of her free hand motioning back and forth between herself and Aurelia. It was prudent that she confirm her suspicions. Just in case. The last thing she wanted was to have misunderstood, made an assumption, and then be doused with a strong jet of water the moment she turned her back. "You and me...ehm..." she paused for a the second needed to find the right words. Hit... Attack... Go against... she couldn't think of any of the English words. So, instead, she just aimed up her gun to pan back and forth across the field, letting loose a very small burst of water to suggest shooting. "Everyone?"

Pulling her weapon back to her core in preparation to fire at a moment's notice should someone come upon them, Greta continued to spare Aurelia only a brief glance before beginning to look for trouble. And as she did, she began to retreat from the station, eyeing the others that had done as the two girls had done. To her, it seemed unfair to open fire upon them, so she simply laid on them a wary gaze, but otherwise made no motion to attack as she sidled away towards one of the boxes on the outskirts of the game. If she was being true to herself, she'd been a little reckless in the game thus far, and more than a little lucky with having been able to dodge the streams that had been sent her way thus far. And, given how difficult it had been to tag anyone else that had taken up residence behind one of the structures, she couldn't help but admit that perhaps she'd had the wrong strategy from the start. The cover was starting to look rather appealing.

Even still, provided her notion about the peace-seeking girl was correct, she wasn't about to leave without her. If teaming up was how it was going to be, then it was best to stick together and move in tandem. If she moved for a box, Greta would go with her. If instead she happened to point out a target, or a couple of them, Greta would shoot on site. And if she turned her sites on Greta herself, well the little Durmstrang student was just as ready to spring back and make a hasty retreat for the nearest barricade.
