[IC] Academy of Heroes and Villains

[knight125]

Although the shade cast by the tree made it impossible for Ben to see the paintballs, somehow he heard a very subtle whistling. Holding his gun in one hand and grasping the tree branch he was on with the other, he allows himself to fall to the side, dodging the paintballs. Still hanging upside down, he fires four shots at Austin before, once again, leaping away into another tree, disappearing from sight.

Griffin heard alot of commotion in the trees. It seem two others were playing take in the trees. Griffin shook his head They would more and likely take each other out so he turned his attention to looking for a new target for his team to take out. Griffin moved silently through the trees searching for people.

Hearing the shots above her Estella concentrated on she was on the ground. Placing a hand down she did her best to sense out where people were. It wasn't so precise that she knew exactly where they were but it did give her a general idea. At the moment Anthony's group seemed to be the biggest and she doubled back to approach them from the other side.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika sat there on the ground, sighing distantly. For not the first time, she was wondering if coming to this school was a major mistake. Who was she trying to fool? She couldn't keep up.

[knight125]

John looks down at Devika, a frown on his face, and asks, "What's wrong?"

Anthony finishes reloading his gun and signs to Kijani, "Keep an eye on our rear, I don't know where Connor or Esuterura went. Let's go." He continues going forward through the woods.

[SomeoneSomewere]

Austin swiftly moved, flinching as one of the paintballs hit the back of his leg. He quickly grabbed a leaf and pressed it against the paint. Luckily, the leaf stuck, effectively hiding the bright pain from view.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika looked up at John, figuring she should get up. But she didn't move. "...They all knew I was weak, John. Everyone saw it, I was the big target, ready to be singled out." She inhaled slow, to put a stop to the tears that were building up in her. "What do I even try for?"

---

Kijani nodded to Anthony, before turning around and walking backwards, keeping watch on Anthony's back and preventing anyone from sneaking up that way. All of her years of walking and reading gave her an excellent sense of where she was in her environment. She sidestepped trees and branches as she kept watch while walking backwards.

A cloud of dust began to roll in making it hard to see at ground level. Estella followed in with it, easily concealed by the amount of particles in the air.

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin chuckles as he seems Estella hid herself in a dust cloud. He briefly thought about giving her location to his team, but decides not to yet. It would be interesting to see if anyone on the ground would spot her. Griffin looked around he had lost track of who was left.

[knight125]

Ben watches Austin, waiting for an opportunity to swoop in once more.

John sighs and sits next to Devika, and says, "Hey, there wasn't anything you could do. From where the paint is on you. I'd say that you were getting hit in two directions at once. There aren't many people that would have gotten through that without getting hit." AS the dust starts to kick up, John stands and says, "Come on, let's go."

[MarshiestMallow]

Phoebe heard someone, appearing to follow her, as she walked through the trees. She stopped dead, and climbed a tree, quickly bending it slightly to hide her like before. Who was it? Could she run away?

---

Connor let himself drop, taking his suit of so he could walk more or less silently. He tried to stay hidden.

---

Bored, Kalinda went in search of a target, soon coming upon Anthony. She held her gun, and fire four or five quick shots, while remaining hidden in the shadows.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Devika got up, trying to bury the pain she felt. Her discipline was slipping- or the pain was too much. Either way, she wasn't well.

---

Kijani saw the dust kicking up, and frowned. That certainly wasn't right-- there was no wind, just an odd dust cloud. She let out the signal whistle, and got her gun ready. "That's the stupidest way to hide I've ever seen." What a waste of power.

[KatherinWinter]

Griffin was thrilled when saw Conner. Perfect the kid with weird suit. Griffin whistled before moving so his location wasn't given away. Once in the new location he lined up the shot and fired three shots at Conner.

[knight125]

Anthony turns to see what Kijani was signaling for when suddenly, Kalinda steps out of the shadows and finishes him off. He grins slightly as he says quietly, "How interesting." He hands her the rest of his paintballs and whispers, "The ones in the trees are the biggest threat." As he leaves the forest, he passes Kijani and says, "You'll have to finish this."

[MarshiestMallow]

Kalinda was surprised at this, why would he help someone not on his team? But she nevertheless took his advice. She quickly faded back into the shadows, and moved away. Thrilled with herself, she waited once again.

Connor managed to dodge one of the three, and was already running. One more hit and he was out. He leaped up, grabbing a tree branch and swing himself up.

[Mistress Dizzy]

"Gotcha." Kijani nodded, watching Anthony walk off. There was Kalinda, who'd taken down Anthony... There was that alien show off telepath, not far behind... She was pretty sure there were others, too. She was surrounded from all sides, no powers, no help... She smirked. Finally, a real challenge. She backed into the shade of the trees and quickly took off her shoes, stepping silent on bare feet.

[SomeoneSomewere]

Austin looked around, frowning. He didn't know Ben that well, but from what he did know he wouldn't just leave. He crouched down and rapidly moved to a side of the tree opposite of where Ben jumped to and jumped to the next tree, the next one. He stopped, gun ready to fire as he looked for Ben to be following him while also staying aware of everything around him. There was a small quiet on the shots, but he heard at least two whistles right after one another.

[knight125]

(The first two things Anthony said were to Kalinda, which is also the person that he gave the paintballs to. The only interaction he had with Kijani was the last sentence)

[twave]

Estella had taken to the trees and was watching what people would do with the dust she'd kicked up. Mostly it was a distraction and it made moving around easy. It wasn't a particularly difficult thing to do. She let it settle and now there was a fine dust coating everything so she could track their movements.
