HAPPY SONGKRAN!

[sangkhan]

[ Are you all cowering in your rooms yet?

Stains may not seep under doors but doors are easily brought down, as proven by the seven vividly painted elephants now roaming your hallways, baying for you to come out or they might start knocking.

For the more socially inclined, residents may now stumble over super soakers and water guns and look more of them somewhere in their vicinity. These babies are locked and loaded, ready to go, and they will never run out of water. The best part, of course, is that they will wash away any and all stains --but only if used on another person.

Remember now, both Heaven and Hell have long spoons. ]

CASTLE GROUNDS

[sangkhan]

[ The water guns are hidden in the strangest of places here: on tree branches, in the ground, in the duck pond or just lying on the path of an unsuspecting resident. Strewn about the area are also multicolored water balloons of various sizes. Time to stock up on ammunition! ]

[encryptedlock]

[A bit suspicious of the water guns (not to mention the elephants!), York is nevertheless stocking up on water balloons. Because why the hell not?

He hasn't figured out their properties yet, but if someone unsuspecting walks by they may get a chance to find out...if they're not frightened away by the armored soldier with blood on his hands, of course.]

[wolfchild]

[ Not a problem…as long as he doesn't mind the kid in a tree aiming the water gun at him. ]

[encryptedlock]

[Well, it's to be expected with this many water guns around. But war is war, whether or not the castle decided to give them a water fight before it was properly hot outside and while they were all still marked by their guilt stains.

Point being, York will duck and roll away from the first incoming attack and lob a water balloon in retaliation. It might burst in the branches before it reaches Arya, though.]

[kungfuwitch]

[Have an unsuspecting witch, York. She's taking a stroll through the gardens... mostly to get away from any place with mirrors.]

[encryptedlock]

[The gardens are looking very nice today, especially as a distraction to help hide York behind a flowery bush and prey on unsuspecting victims. And what better way to get one's mind off terrible guilt-stains than by pelting them with water balloons?

That's York's philosophy, anyway, and he'll be putting it to the test as soon as Phoebe gets a little closer....]

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley has only left his home in the city because he's running low on booze. Time to restock from the Nine's stores again. He's got his hands in his pockets as he walks, not that it really hides the burn marks going up his arms, nor the wing-shaped ones on his back.

At least he's staring at the ground so much he's perfectly distracted]

[encryptedlock]

[York actually does hesitate a little bit - holy water isn't exactly something that registers on a scan, and he doesn't want to hurt Crowley even though, well.

Hmm.

Okay, what he'll do is wait until Crowley is just passing his hiding spot, toss one balloon in front to just splash his feet, and if he doesn't start melting York will follow with a full-body pelt to the back.]

[lonenoble]

[Here, York. Hare a patrolling and bloody Spartan to soak. She missed the elephants...]

[encryptedlock]

[The question is, how good is Six as dodging grenades? Okay, how about brightly colored plastic ones filled with water?

York really doesn't expect to actually nail her on the first hit, but it's worth a shot.]

[i_got_this]

[Guess who got freaked out by an elephant knocking on her door and jumped out her window?]

[This girl!]

[Thank god for armor and conveniently placed bushes. South is extricating herself from the twig-and-leafy rubble and looking around, seeing a water gun poking out of the dirt nearby.]

... okay, what the hell is going on here?

[originalcopy]

[hey, guess who got his ass stomped by a friendly neighborhood elephant and is now armed and looking for people he knows.]

[And also wishes he was in armor or had a camera so he could capture South crashing into the bushes for posterity...]

Hey South! Catch!

[Have a water balloon!]

[i_got_this]

Church, wha-- AW FUCK!

[... never mind that she's fully in armor and didn't feel a drop of that, she be pissed. Screw it, she's grabbing the water gun and ripping it out of the ground to swing in Church's direction.]

[kungfuwitch]

[Phoebe had been out for a nice relaxing walk when she noticed the squirt gun hanging from a tree.]

What?

[She plucks it from the branch, holding it carefully. Okay. Now what? Well there's only one way to find out what this thing's loaded with. She shoots water towards some bushes, here's hoping there wasn't anyone back there.]

[theabjectauthor]

[Lemony is making his way back up to the castle from helping deliver supplies and snacks to the volunteers in town, an empty picnic basket slung over his arm. the ink stains on his hands are clearly visible, high enough now to start to seep through and spot the sleeves of his dress shirt.

he is also totally oblivious. HAVE AT HIM.]

[bronwe]

[ Aw yeah. Frodo has made it his mission to attack, that is save, everyone from the horrible stains. No one can accuse him of losing his mischievous streak, now running from behind Lemony to throw a water balloon aimed right for his arm. ]

[theabjectauthor]

OH! [it's a direct hit, and he drops the picnic basket - thankfully empty at this point]

Who -- how --

[he looks around, startled, trying to figure out what, exactly, is going on here]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Bunny is here, with the paw-mark prints on his fur, glancing around at all those water guns]

You've got to be joking me.

[wolfchild]

[ WHAM! goes a water balloon. ]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[And that is now a soaking wet rabbit pulling out a boomerang just in case something is trying to attack him]

[rightjollyoldelf]

[Now this was an activity North could get behind. He had spent the last few days trying to find a way to help the children of the castle. And discovering that even with his magic there was little he could do.

But this... This was healing and and entertainment and wonder all at once. Almost as soon as he had figure out this was a cure, he had armed himself with a soaker in each hand and charged off to soak as many as possible. Whether they could see him or not.]

[psych0p0mps]

[Hey North, have one of them alien kids! ... Granted, she's only peripherally heard of Santa Claus, so she can't actually see him. And the stains on her clothing are actually only dust from the debris she's been moving in the city. She seems to be eyeing a water gun being held by one of the statues - although the shit-eating grin on her face doesn't reflect how perplexed she is, it's just stuck that way at the moment.

tl;dr she's a sitting duck, have at]

[rightjollyoldelf]

[Well, who was he to argue with an opportunity like this? Hope she likes getting soaked!]

[sugarwaffo]

[Most of the weekend's craziness passed over Sugar's head. However, the colored objects in the lawn do not. Sugar grabs a water balloon out of curiosity. Maybe it's a twinkle! It certainly catches the light like a twinkle should.

However, as she is flying back home, the "twinkle" slips out of her hands and goes plummeting back to earth.]

Waaaah! Oh no, no no no!!

[Water balloon incoming. Look out below!]

[whistles_the_blues]

[Blues was on his way back to the castle after cleaning up in the town after a long day. ...It just so happens he's walking right beneath Sugar as she drops the water balloon. It bursts off his metallic head and completely soaks him. The blue and cyan graffiti that covered a majority of his body got washed off in the process.]

...What the...?
