Beach [open to all]

Aug 16, 2007 04:09

As the sun awoke that morning, spilling new light across the sand, the effort of their labor could be seen by all present. Two mighty forts arose from the sand, facing one another with silent awareness of what was to come next, a battle. Only one would be allowed to stand in the end, only one allowed the prize of victory. Each one was adorn a flag ( Read more... )

Walking into the middle of it: Both time AND literally! :D nolonger2nd August 21 2007, 14:36:38 UTC
It seemed like at least every other day, Vesper would find time to head down to the beach. Today he was heading there a bit earlier in the day for him as he had a day off from work. Dressed in pants and a loose tanktop made him stick out a bit but he never noticed and always wore this to the beach.

What he also didn't notice? That today he was walking into the middle of a war zone. Water balloons, sand forts, and the like weren't exactly uncommon at the beach especially this time of year. The organization between two teams , the tension between red and blue, was one "little" detail that slipped from Vesper's observation.

He had walked along the edge of the shore and settled himself into a spot on the sand. Almost dead center of the battle field. An easy target for anyone, a possible ally for either team, or just some guy getting in the way of things.

Having lost sight of their original goal, the Bucket Master, the two red and blue forces had split up and three blue members decided to use up their remaining ammo before heading back to base. Vesper just happened to be in range when the balloons flew. And he'd left himself wide open, they couldn't resist.

Vesper yelped as one, no two, no three balloons landed and splashed against him. He turned to look in time to see another one coming. He tried to catch it which only broke in his hand.

This next one, however, he was determined to catch. Vesper used both hands and made sure to follow with it to ease the landing. But instead of holding it, he threw it back. He didn't really think about it. Just seemed like the thing to do.

"Hey, he caught it!" Astonished, they stared as the balloon was hurled back in their direction and smacked one in the chest. That seemed to waken them from their shock and they fled back to base.

Vesper huffed, squeezed out his hair a bit and stood up.

Realizing he wasn't in the best of locations, Vesper headed off to another area of the beach.
