[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[Klyix]

Paintball? Unsurprisingly she had not played it before and only heard it mentioned in passing but the premise seemed easy enough. Would it count if she just shot at herself? Or Mimic? The latter seemed more satisfying.. No. She should do this, she hadn't done much since she had got here, she may as well play along with this. She could use her powers but what about additional weapons? She wasn't about to ask, if needed she'd acquire one: better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. Not that she planned on asking for forgiveness but the semantics were there.

Taking a gun she turned it over in her hands, she think she at least deserved one practice shot before the whole thing began, it was only fair considering this was the closest she had got to any form of gun. Recalling what Mimic had said quickly loaded it and pointed it at a nearby tree, taking a short moment to aim and then fired. She hit, not in the center but she hadn't missed. Obviously they would be moving, but if she knocked them back first she should be ok. Besides, at no point did he say they had to play fair.

"Once. I had a paintball party when I was 12. The only time people actually seemed eager to be around me in school" Kalinda said shrugging. "It's easy once you get the hang of it"

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin nodded. "It's pretty easy. Just have to out think the others."

[knight125]

Ben briefly considers teaming up with Jack or Austin, but decides that he could operate better alone. He picks up one pistol-looking paintball gun and a container of paintballs. He grab a holster from the table, clips it in, and disappears into the forest.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda nodded "yeah. Considering we can use powers, it's going to be an interesting game" she said, checking her gun over and checkinf she had some paintballs. "Guess we just go and hide or whatever"

[KatherinWinter]

"We will be in the trees if you need us." Griffin says as he begins to climb a nearby tree.

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda nodded and moved into the trees, and when she was a far enough distant inside, shifted into the shadows. She crouched, and listened, staying as silent as possible.

Connor debated about putting on his suit, but then knowing his luck he might just trip over something and blast a classmate. So he decided against it, and would continue to do so, at least until he could put a training mode on it.

He grabbed some gear, and headed into the trees

[knight125]

John, figuring that Connor was probably a good shot, follows him into the woods after picking up a paintball shotgun and ammo. "Hey Stark," he says, "team up?"

Ben's suit morphs into a ghillie suit, the false vegetation on it concealing his gun and ammo. He crawls through the trees silently, looking for a target.

Ghillie Suit

Connor glanced back, frowned "why do you wish to team up with me?" He asked

[twave]

Estella walks casually into the forest. She watched and listened with her gun at the ready. Once she was out of earshot she took aim at a leaf swaying on a branch..The first shot missed, adjusting she fired again and missed once more, the third shot met its mark and took the leaf right off the tree. Satisfied she had the aim down she tried firing three in succession but only got two shots out. The feed wasn't quick enough to fire that fast but now she knew its limits. Continuing on she again held the gun ready.

[KatherinWinter]

Something was making him feel oddly, not knowing what it was Griffin shook his head and focused on the game. He watched to see who would team up and who would go alone. Once he had better idea of who was strong and who was weaker he would go hunting.

[knight125]

John looks Connor in the eye and says, "You probably have at least some skill with guns, because of your suit. I could use the help."

Anthony's gaze passes over Kijani, Devika, Sue, and two new students before settling on Matt and Griffin. He approaches them and asks, "Would either of you care to join me?"

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin looked down at the voice wondering if the guy was talking to him. He hadn't really considered teaming up, he hadn't thought anyone would ask him. So he asks "What would the advantage be for us to do so?"

[SomeoneSomewere]

Austin grabbed a gun, a strange feeling coming over him. He picked up the gun and looked at it then said coolly," from what I think, the goal is to be the last one standing." He looked at the forest, considering the best plan. The best idea would be to remain hidden and let some of the competition lessen and then come out when it's the last people there. He nodded, rubbing his nose slightly. He might want to smear dirt onto the orange in his fur, make it less noticeable then before.

[MarshiestMallow]

"Well, at least you can be humble enough to ask for help" Connor said and shrugged "I guess we can team up. For now"

[Klyix]

Kat didn't wait to form an alliance. It wasn't that she was foolish belief that she was better alone, but cooperation involved trust and she was not going to give that out to anyone here. Besides, what with her reputation she doubted anyone would offer themselves. She disappeared from the field and reappeared amongst the trees, quickly getting her bearings and darting behind a tree so that anyone wandering from the clearing would not see though judging by the distance she should have a little time. She gave herself a little shake, this was hardly life or death, there was no need to unleash hell. Shooting herself was still a viable option.

With Anthony's powers still effecting her, Maxine was giving some serious thought of what to do. She'd never done this kind of thing. She wasn't very good at survival stuff like she was. But Austin looked like he was. He had the senses and probably the instincts. It seemed like the best option right now. Reaching out she touched his arm. Immediately she took on all of Austin's animal attributes, fur, claws, eyes, tail, everything. The only thing that didn't really change was her size. Looking, listening, testing the air with her sense of smell she seemed satisfied with results. This was a bit more than usual though, perhaps because Austin already had a humanoid form. "This should help."

[MarshiestMallow]

She was up a tree when she heard the voices. Voices she knew. Voices she had craved to hear again. Her heart started to beat fast. Academy students. Her classmates. Her heart gave a painful twist and she had to press her face against the tree to stop from cryingn out. She waved a hand and the tree bent slightly to hide her, giving her enough room to see out of. What where they doing?

Katherin. Sue...maybe...maybe she could see them and if they were alone, tell them she was sorry. Tell them she missed them, and loved them, or at least get one of them alone and tell Them that for both of them. She didn't know if she could stand seeing Ryan.

Why were they here? She crouched, listened and waited. What was she to do? Surely if they saw her, they would try and drag her back to the school. She didn't want that at the moment. Her fingers dug into the bark, as she continued to wait, not making a sound.

She heard something, glanced about as something flew against the air, then took a leaf of a branch. Paint splattered the branch on the nearby tree the leaf had been attached to.

Paint? She twisted around silently, paintball!

Pheobe frowned, and tried to stay hidden.

[SomeoneSomewere]

Austin looked at her as she touched him. A nearly perfect replica of himself stood next to him, other then the size difference and her deffinately being a female... They could just be siblings of any first saw them. He stood his head slightly then dashed into the forest. Once inside, he looked around. He spotted some mud and he crouched down, smearing the mud onto the oranger and the whiter parts of his fur. He then walked again, holding the gun tightly. He then ran again and launched himself into the air, latching onto a tree with one hand. This removed someone using his foot prints to locate him. Holding the gun in his mouth, he climbed up to the top of the tree, careful not to allow too many things fall to the ground. He crouched on a branch, listening now, and smelling the air, trying to locate anyone near him. He checked the gun, holding it ready.

"I'm quite skilled in coming up with plans, and you most likely have animal instincts. Together, we should do well," Anthony replies.
