The Great Tomato War
Proposing a truce with @Scarlett Aden and trying to stop @Eliseo Cespedes in his tracks
It was clear to see that Scarlett was fighting more than one battle, and Cosmo felt bad for attacking every time the other girls back was turned. Not to say that it didn't work a treat though, both her missiles had hit square on their mark, the thought of which made a cheeky grin appear on the small gryffindors face. It couldn't last long though, Scarlett's own tomato landed on Cosmo's cheek with hefty squelch and juices flew all directions; into her earholes and across her eyes, the spray blurring her vision.
No one was safe in the fray, not a moment later Scarlett was struck with a tomato thrown by the groundskeeper, and as if that wasn't enough it was quickly followed by a water balloon from a student Cosmo didn't recognise. She stood, staring at Scarlett with her mouth open in shock and tomato trickling down her neck. It took a second to regain any sense of composure, but once found she replied to the other girls earlier quip.
"I don't know about any tomato salad, you might have a smoothie on your hands soon enough," Cosmo quirked her brow at Scarlett and fumbled in a tub behind her, searching for the biggest tomato her hands could find. It was a beauty, and she pulled it way behind her head, muscles bunching to aim at the other gryffindor once again. Little did Scarlett know this was a feint, at the last second Cosmo turned and hurled her tomato right at Eliseo. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size!" she called out, throwing a wink in Scarlett's direction.

And it hit! Not the cleanest throw but it still hit, just enough to satisfy Charles enough so he could move back to his original target. The Hogwarts professor who had recently hit him in the side of the head with a tomato... the blonde wiped chucks away and shook a bit from the smell before turning hid attention to the one who threw it.
The Hogwarts professor. Charles was a Dumstrang and knew he probably wouldn't see the professor again so unlike the others, he had no worry involving detentions or assignments from her which meant the words that could happen was there on the battle field where the blonde wasn't about to back down.
Charles picked up a large juicy red tomatoe and smiled at the professor, his curly blonde hair blowing in the the air as a set of pearly whites was aimed got the professor. A shark stalking his prey. Waiting for the moment to dive in and pounce except the blonde wasn't sure how sharks stalked their prey or even what a shark was. Why was he thinking about aquatic animals? Who knows back to the game...
"I think you dropped something, Miss," Charles shouted over to the professor as he started to take aim at her with the tomatoe before continuing" let me have the honor of returning it to you, miss," the blonde smiled a little as he took aim ready to throw the fresh tomatoe at the professor with little to no mercy after all he was a Dumstrang and would be leaving for his own school in less than a month so what extractly could the Hogwarts professor to him?

Aim. Shoot. Released. And failed?
Cash blinked their eyes when their water balloon missed their intended target. Instead hitting Professor Fresnel, their water balloon erupted on Professor Céspedes. "Lo siento, señor. No se suponía que te golpeara. Estaba apuntando al profesor Fresnel (I'm sorry, Sir. It wasn't supposed to hit you. I was aiming at Professor Fresnel)"The green eyes said after their water balloon drenched the Grounds Keeper.
It seems Cash was not the only person that targetted the Charms Professor. Charles and Scarlett did too. The only differences between Cash, Charles and Scarlett; Charles and Scarlett managed to drown Professor Fresnel in large goop of tomato chunks and juices. Charles hit Professor Fresnel right on her face and drenched her.
The Slytherin's Beater looked at Charles and now the drenched Professor Fresnel alternatedly. "How in the world you do that, mate?"Cash asked the curly haired boy. "That was one wicked shot"They grinned. It was not like Cash danced on Professor Fresnel's suffering but Cash really did not expect Charles's accuracy was that good.
When Charles asked their (Cash and Charles) next target was Scarlett, the Cuban descendant nodded their head. One of their water balloon was ready to be released but Cash's mind was somewhere else. And so when Charles throw his water balloon and also managed to drenched Scarlett, Cash missed their chances.
But nothing better than the present. Cash looked down on their water balloon basket and only one left in it. The green eyes then remembered that sometime ago Scarlett targeted them and now it was time to payback. Cash then averted their eyes from Scarlett to Charles. "I think after this I will left the field. Thank you for being an awesome ally. You are not that bad, compañero (partner)"They informed the Durmstrang boy.
Cash had much fun participated in this chaotic mess of an event but something nagging their mind. That nagging feeling was how Starlee sudden change of mood and Cash promised to themselves that they will check on Starlee to asked what happened to her. With that thought in their mind, Cash took their one last water balloon.
With all their might, they chugged it towards Scarlett. After that, the young Ironwoods make a quick bee line out of the field. Whether their water balloon will hit or miss Scarlett, Cash would never know since they already left the battlefield.

The Great Tomato War
@Evelynn Decipio as Greta Fransson
Still laughing, Theodore looked over his shoulder, back at the Durmstrang girl who was coming after him with a tomato. This game was really disgusting, but as he was covered in tomato guts and juice already anyway, well... what did it matter if he got hit again? So Theo stopped running, turned around, raised his arm to throw his water bomb at Greta- and slipped. Something burst under his shoe and suddenly the young Thunderbird was on his back and his water bomb gone.
He could only sit up before something landed on his head and some more tomato guts and liquid spilled over him. Over his face. Quickly he closed his eyes before the juice could run into them- did tomato juice burn when it went in the eye? He really didn't know, he never had a tomato thrown at him before. It would probably have been something the twins would have done, if that hadn't meant getting murdered by their parents.
"Ughhh...", he groaned, wiping the tomato guts and juice out of his face.
"Attacking a man on the ground Greta? Really? That's cruel!" Dramatically he placed a hand on his chest, while trying to find his water bomb with the other.
Throwing a water bomb at Greta.
The Great Tomato War
Nowhere to run, indeed. Greta gasped, frozen on the spot with mixed guilt, surprise and a health dash of amusement as seen by the twisted and uncertain grin on her face as Theo slipped and landed supine on the ground in a heap. The tomato already lofted from her hand, Greta could only watch while, as though in comically slow motion, the fruit lobbed its way through the air to explode messily atop Theo's brunet crown. Hands clapped over her mouth, first one, and then the other, to supress her giggling as tomato juice and seeds seeped down his face.
"Not man," she countered, parting her fingers just enough to allow her to talk. "Is boy," she teased, still trying—and failing—not to grin stupidly. "Man not fall. Boy on—" Having a sudden failure of vocabulary and being unable to recall the word 'ground', she pulled her free hand to gesture at the dirt below him. "You fall, I win."
Mischief danced in her gaze. Clearly, she hadn't the least bit of remorse about attacking a helpless target. Not that this recent one had been her fault in the least. She'd already thrown it towards him when he'd taken his tumble. It just happened to work out all the more theatrically as a result. But this time...With one remaining tomato in hand, she lobbied it towards him without hesitation, fully planning to take advantage of his hapless situation before scurrying off in a trail of laughter, palms of her hands pushing back the curls that were started to cake against he face with drying tomato guts of the attacks she'd sustained herself.
"Can't catch!" she called out over her shoulder, hazarding a glance towards him in her taunting.Action: Attacking Theodore Duncain (again), and then running away
@Opeila Winters, @Henry Knight
The Great Tomato War
Score! Avery leapt into the air with a fist pump as his tomato caught the older boy in the side of his head as he was rolling around the battle field like a tumbleweed. He hadn't really expected to score a hit, but the satisfaction of scoring one only intensified with his unexpected success.
"It's an all-out war!" he shouted to Ethen and no one in particular. Just very joyously caught up in all this chaos, you see.
However, he was quite oblivious to the water balloon that sailed his way, only to smack him straight-on in the forehead. Water spattered into his eyes and the boy was shocked back into reality after his little victory dance as the frigid waters soaked his hair and shirt.
He looked up to see Ming, recovering from his throwing position straight ahead. MING! Who would've thought! The boy had finally snapped out of his daze and somehow succumbed to the temptation of battle, it seemed. Despite the frigid waters that made his shirt cling to his body, the small boy smirked a grin, silently proud of his uptight friend for joining the fray.
"Oh yeah?" he retorted back at Ming. "Why don't you show me what you've got, then!" His challenge was made. He picked up a nearby water balloon, ready to face off with his friend in a death match, adrenaline pumping through his veins. Maybe he was born to be a fighter on a field instead of a musician, after all.
All this unleashed potential, bottled up for eleven years, stuck indoors playing the violin. How could you possibly know what you could accomplish if you didn't try? He ran towards Ming, attempting to throw the balloon as he got closer to the boy to hopefully score a fast and aggressive hit like a dive bomber.

@Cosmo Keith attacking @Eliseo Cespedes - Success
As a master of deception, Cosmo proved that she was skilled in the arts of the surprise attack! The Groundskeeper had been attacking the students with no repercussions but it seemed that Cosmo would not allow the man to continue his attacks without facing her wrath. With a bit of sneaky trickery, she would turn and taunt Eliseo at the last second before chucking a tomato at the adult. Cosmo’s arm proved true and the tomato smacked into the forehead of the man, coating his face in a thick layer of smushed and dripping tomato.@Cassandra Ironwoods attacking @Scarlett Aden - Success
Cassandra had decided that it was her time to depart from battle but that wouldn’t mean she would leave without making at least one last strike! Grabbing a water balloon, Cassandra locked on to her target to once again prove that she had some deadly accuracy with a water balloon. The girl launched the weapon right towards Scarlett, connecting with the back of Scarlett’s head. Water would drench the girl while Cassandra safely scurried off the field to avoid any revenge!Theodore Duncain (iNPC @Opeila Winters) attacking Greta Fransson (iNPC @Evelynn Decipio) - Success
A great duel was beginning between the two international students and Theo had to redeem himself from a rather embarrassing last attack. But rather than surrendering to Greta, he would find himself a new water balloon to get a bit of revenge for the last attack landed against him. Taking aim, Theodore hurled a perfectly aimed attack towards the young Greta. The water balloon would find its mark and hit Greta on the forehead, sending cold water over the girl’s upper body and face.Greta Fransson (iNPC @Evelynn Decipio) attacking Theodore Duncain (iNPC Opeila Winters) - Success
Greta was on a roll and her reign of terror seemed like it would not end until Theodore was buried under tomato guts. She had just landed a beautiful hit on the downed opponent but she would quickly follow up! Greta chucked another tomato at Theo and again she would find her mark. The tomato would smack hard into Theodore’s chest sending a mist of tomato juice and bits into the air and into his face. Just as Greta landed her hit she would begin to run off but not before she was struck by Theodore’s water balloon.Charles Alluring (iNPC @Henry Knight) politely attacking @Zoë Fresnel - Success
It seemed there was at least one gentleman out there on the field of battle. Very graciously, Charles found a misplaced tomato and was determined to return it to its rightful owner. The mighty charms professor seemed to be who Charles suspected as the missing owner of the chunky tomato. Taking aim, he would launch the tomato into the air to return to its rightful owner. It was a terrible throw that was headed right for the face of the Groundskeeper. But at the last second, the man ducked and allowed the tomato to sail into the face of Zoe.@Avery Chen attacking @Hui Ming -Success
After being attacked by Hui, Avery was ready to get a bit of revenge on the other student. He wasted no time in finding another weapon to target his victim. With a quick taunt, Avery would launch the tomato with considerable speed at Hui. The water balloon flew gracefully through the air before careening into Hui’s chest. Cold water would erupt over the boy, drenching his clothing. It was a beautiful hit but Avery would need to follow it up to truly crush his opponent!

Grinning when he watched his tomatoe meet the face of the professor who he aimed at. It wasn't the best throw but still managed to hit the Hogwarts professor and successfully hitting someone was the point of this game? War...
Caught off guard by his allies words, the blonde listened to them and nodded. Charles was slightly gloomy that they were leaving after all they made such a good and rather threatening team together but good things must cease. Not everything can remain good, eventually things end and change. Charles had experience with the latter from his family.
"the pleasure is mine, partner," Charles grinned at the Hogwarts student for a moment then continued, " many thanks and compliments to our team today, we made quite the alliance today. I hope to see you again off the battlefield, Ironwoods," Charles grinned those them and watched their final water balloon hit Scarlett or Red then they left.
The blonde looks around the field, less and less were there. Perhaps it would serve best to call it a win and leave the battle for a spot in his cabin perhaps next to Xeno. Catching up and smiling with the boy.
Charles smiled and bounced on his heels in anticipation as he thought about the beauxbatons boy, the blonde decided to leave to find his crush but first a farewell gift or act toward that Hogwarts professor.
Charles found a water balloon and armed himself with it, taking a step out from behind anything he was behind and would grin toward her as he spoke" your presence has been lovely but I am afraid I must leave the battle now so please let me help you clean up," Charles would arch his arm back and aim the water balloon at the Hogwarts professor than with his muscles he would throw it at them.
Regardless if he hit her or not, Charles would nod toward the professor and blow a air kiss toward her before turning and walking calmly from the field with one person on his mind. Xeno.

The Great Tomato War
It was quite the outrageous image, really. As petite as Greta was, standing at little under five feet, she rarely—or rather, never—towered over anyone. Yet there she stood, her shadow capable of masking Theodore entirely where he lay supine before her. If only the sun would have been so considerate with its angle. Nevertheless, she'd taken unique delight in the moment, taking advantage of his rather helpless situation to really add to his already rather saucy situation with another gloopy tomato to his head. Drunk on victory, she'd tried to dart away, an impish grin across her face, believing whole-heartedly there was nothing he could possibly do to—
All of a sudden, he let whip his arm, a balloon speeding towards her. She saw it briefly growing in size in her periphery, but couldn't move out of the way in time. Bursting against the side of her head, she was suddenly drenched. Frozen on the spot as though caught in an impedimenta jinx, fingers splayed, arms jerked stiffly to her sides, neck hunched, and water dripped down hair, brows, chin, and nose alike. Almost in slow-motion, movement would return to her, hands raising to wipe forearms over her face and clear her eyes of watery tomato juice. It only sort of worked, and eyes soon stung as the rubbing only served to worse it. Eyes tearing up, hands dove for her skirts and she dropped to a crouch to wipe her face with her dirtied patchwork dress.
It was only moments later that she realized her error and sucked in an anxious gasp of air. Having left herself completely open during this period of shock, Greta glanced over towards Theo, half expecting him to be looping over her already. She wouldn't give him that chance. Darting away, hands scrabbled at the dirt floor to help her find purchase in her flight. Keeping a small profile, she darted in and out of flying balloons and tomatoes, trying to avoid one assailant in particular.Action: Running away from Theodore Duncain (again), and trying to evade further assault

Charles Alluring (iNPC @Henry Knight) politely attacking @Zoë Fresnel - Success
Continuing to be a gentleman and romantic of the battlefield, Charles readied a follow-up attack of politeness. With a nice jiggly water balloon in hand, the boy blew a kiss before kindly launching his attack. Perhaps the professor was distracted by such a display of kindness amidst the battle, but she offered no attempt to dodge the secondary attack. The balloon would glide through the air before it found its way to Zoë’s forehead. Perhaps she would appreciate the nice cold bath after being hit with so many tomatoes. Regardless, the professor would have no choice on the matter and would be quickly coated in the frigid water.
The field that had been redecorated as a mess of bursted balloons and scatter tomatoes. Some of the students still kept the fight alive while others had fled the carnage. Young Greta was still ready to dodge any who were brave enough to challenge the warrior girl. Students and professors alike were covered in the red goop and chunks of tomato while others would be shivering in their newly damp clothes. Those who remained in the fray were the true warriors.
The true legends of the Great Tomato war. A vicious battle that left few survivors unscathed. Perhaps future generations would speak on the glory of those who waged the war and fought until the last. Perhaps not...There was plenty of betrayal and moments of glory, enough to fill a strange tome. Some who escaped the field of battle may never be able to peer into the gaze of a tomato again...
This will be the final Moderation. If you still feel like blasting each other with tomatoes and water balloons, you can feel free to continue enjoying yourselves out there!
