[OTA] War is Hell. Paintball is...something else.
Twenty-two volunteers was, all told, not a bad turnout, Avery thought as she shrugged into the coveralls and surveyed the field of future battle. It was a lovely copse of trees with a stream cutting through it. A perfect place, perhaps, for a romantic picnic. Just not today.
She eyed the table where the weaponry was laid out: the traditional guns, of course, plus paint grenades because didn't that seem like fun? And helmets and other protective gear. No one wanted a concussion. It should be enough to arm all the Cards participating, and they'd set up the spectator stands far enough off that they wouldn't get hit with errant paintballs.
Hopefully.
In the very center of the copse was a bright blue flag whipping in the wind. That was the prize for the day, what the teams were fighting over - and the insurance that not everyone would take to the trees like snipers. Though she suspected a few would, and she'd already scoped out the most likely sniper-stations.
"Alright, teams," she finally said crisply. "Choose your weapons. Addy's team will take the left side of the area. Mine will take the right. Battle begins at the sound of the bell."
[ooc: Bell will sound two minutes after Avery speaks. Feel free to move around to all of the stations.]
