[He's got his helmet off, but the rest of the purple-and-green armor marks him clearly anyway. He looks pretty easygoing, a paintball gun hefted over his shoulder by the arm not adjusting the camera. There's the organized cover of the paintball arena behind him.]

So, I'm thinking we could use an organized chance to unwind and cut loose. Just a friendly game to get everyone's blood pumping and spirits up.

[He hefts the paintball gun effortlessly in both hands.]

I'm thinking about putting together a little paintball tournament now that I've had the chance to get settled in, so consider this a sign-up, if you're interested. I've got the arena reserved next weekend; if you're free and it sounds fun let me know. Don't worry about whether or not you've played before, I'll try to keep the teams balanced, and I'll set aside a couple of sessions between now and then if anybody wants to come by and learn some of the basics.

...Hmm, what else... If you've got any questions I'll be glad to answer them.

Over.

((OOC: This is the IC post for the Paintball Tournament plot! If you haven't signed up yet, head over here and hit me up! The tournament is going to be the 18-20th, or maybe shorter depending on how many people sign up. There'll be an OOC post with teams after sign-ups close on the 15th.))

[Ok but there's one very obvious question that needs answering right away.]

Are there rules
[Note he doesn't ask what the rules are. It's Maine, so you know the real question is can he punch/steamroll over people.]

[misterintegrity]

Yes, there are rules. The first rule is that everyone will be using the same equipment, that only I will have access to from now until the tournament.

The second rule is that intentional physical violence is grounds for automatic disqualification.

[Both of these are said with a very pointed dad face.]

[ Kid looks appreciative at the mention of balanced teams. ]

Thank you for hosting this.

My pleasure. Planning on taking part?

[grimreaping]

Yes, I am. I've gone with my friends a few times, in my own world. While I'm more used to conventional firearms, I enjoyed it.

Last time I played paintball, it got kind of... intense. And I was just riding on Maine's shoulders the entire time.

[Well if Maine was involved no wonder it got intense.]

Don't worry, I'm taking precautions to make sure this doesn't get out of hand.

Oh, cool. I might actually be able to help out, this time.

[misterintegrity]

I could always use another set of eyes watching the matches.

[You know, other than his own and the little guy's.]

But I'm gonna name the teams, okay?

[orions_shadow]

Paintball?

Balls of paint?

[misterintegrity]

Yeah, they're little capsules filled with colored paint.

[He picks out a purple one and holds it in front of the camera.]

You fire them out of guns like this, and they pop and splatter the paint inside on impact. It stings a little, but that's what the armor is for.

I guess if everyone else is going to, I might as well.

[Yay, peer pressure!]

[misterintegrity]

I'll be there to make sure that it's not just like old times.

Noted.

[Mentally noted, apparently.]

Remind me of your name again?

Permavid

[governorkang]

Count me in.

[misterintegrity]

And your name?

[His tone is no less casual and friendly.]

[desequilibre]

What is this paintball you speak of?

[ Do you want a well trained rifle user to take out people for prosperity and not fun? Because he'll do it. ]

perma audio

[misterintegrity]

Little non-lethal paint rounds fired out of special guns. They pop on impact, and if you're not careful it can sting pretty bad.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

I will be the master of the paint!

[misterintegrity]

[He laughs good-naturedly at that.]

I bet you will. I can't wait to see it.

[ He does have some aggression he needs to misplace SOMEWHERE. ]

I want in. Played before, it was kind of awesome. Maine and Dip were there. They can vouch for my skills.

[ or lack there of since his team lost the first round. ]

[North chuckles good-naturedly.]

Slow down there, you don't need anybody to vouch for you. I just need your name.
