Watanagashi Festival-Day [Open RP]

Jun 19, 2009 16:50

The day of the Cotton Drifting Festival has arrived. Early in the morning house elves were outside helping Rika set up. Around noon the construction comes to an end and the house elves left so that the festival may start. When participants to the festival arrive they will see a boundary line of flags posted around within sight of each other, this ( Read more... )

Water fight time!

Coraline has never seen so many water balloons in one place before. She takes one in each hand, and looks around for someone else who's playing.

Rika let the house elves do most of the work, so she still has plenty of energy to play and do the ritual dance later. Seeing Coraline prepared to fight, Rika shouts "Hey Coraline!" and throws a water balloon at the girl.

She ducks, but not quite quickly enough, and the water goes all down her back. Laughing, she straightens up and throws a balloon in return. "Rika!"

Rika is hit on her side before she ducks behind a table that was turned on its side. Giggling, Rika throws her other one over.

Mordred has found the curry, and he likes it.

So there is now a thin young man sitting on the grass, eating curry and watching the water balloon fight with a wry smile.

Predictably enough, Chairman Kaga's made an appearance, drawn by Yuuri's curry setting off his fooddar.

Off to one side so that he didn't get caught up in the water war (cause that would NOT be good on his clothes), he enjoyed Yuuri's curry.

"...may I join you?"

Mikami had resolved to take Yukimura's advice and get out more. This seemed like a good opportunity. As usual, Masuyo was following close beside him. He didn't like the thought of leaving her alone for too long.

gourmetchairman June 22 2009, 03:27:19 UTC

Kaga's eyes darted around momentarily. Okay. There are other people here.

"By all means," Kaga answered, waving to the nearby seats and smiling genially.

righteous_pen June 22 2009, 19:11:07 UTC

He noticed the moment of hesitation, but didn't comment on it. It was hardly strange, around here.

"Thank you." He sat down, leaving an empty seat between himself and Kaga. "We're out of the way of the battle here, I should hope. I'm Mikami Teru and this," he added, glancing down at the kitten as she wandered over to Kaga and sat down by his feet, looking up expectantly, "is Masuyo."

Beowulf did not grok the concept of water balloons until he saw Rika and Coraline throwing them at one another. He was not about to attack little girls with water, but he did arm himself with a balloon in each hand, and used his Hogwarts robe to improvise a fabric sling/pouch around his body in which he could load more water balloons.

In the tale that is told of Beowulf, it is not said what his battle cry might have been, only that he had one, and that he issued that cry before the lair of the dragon. Knowing what we know of Beowulf, we may fairly conjecture that it was this:

"BEOWULF!!!"

Which he bellowed, and charged about looking for someone who was not a little girl, at whom he might throw his watery missiles.

maid_brienne June 22 2009, 19:56:28 UTC

Brienne probably normally wouldn't put up with this sort of nonsense, except that she was once more trying to get out more, and this seemed like an interesting diversion.

Like Beowulf, she was not willing to throw water baloons at children. Grown adult men dressed as ridiculously as the geat was and crying out battle cries were another thing entirely.

She sprinted after the geat, water baloons in hand, and, with a battle cry of her own, rushed forward and threw, with considerable strength, one of her baloons at his head. This was... surprisingly fun, she decided.

iam_beowulf June 23 2009, 03:16:46 UTC

Brienne of Tarth was not a little girl. She was a warrior. Therefore she was fair game.

Her water balloon hit Beowulf squarely in the forehead, soaking the Gryffindor tie he habitually cinched about his brow. "AAAAGH! THAT BLOW SHALL BE REQUITED!" Tarvu did command that everyone should be nice to one another, but he never ruled out aquatic warfare, be it in water or using water.

The makeshift sling full of water balloons did hamper his movement, so no crazy backflips were possible. He was, however, capable of running with surprising swiftness for one so muscle-bound, and he made a long loop around to avoid more of Brienne's missiles, then lobbed two balloons in succession at the wench's heart.

maid_brienne June 23 2009, 03:35:15 UTC

The baloons hit their marks squarely, and Brienne was now thoroughly soaked. Sadly for her, she would still not win any wet t-shirt contests.

Since she couldn't improvise a sling at the moment, she settled for the next best idea, and levitated several of the baloons from the nearest bucket, then resumed her chase.

When she saw him, she sprinted past him, turned and began running backwards, calling, "Look out behind you!"

She didn't know if he would fall for such an obvious ploy, but if he did, she was going to lob two of her own baloons at him.

Watching the other water-balloon fighters, Rat snatched two, one for each hand. After some thought, he put a third into his cargo pocket, where it burst. "Damn!"
