Anti Pro and I have been trying to have a serious (not really) squirt gun/water blaster fight for awhile now. Perhaps others of you would like to participate? Come on in…the water’s fine.

Judy leave that water hose alone.

Heh heh…Supersoakers at ten paces…

_ **THIS** _ could be _Major_ Fun!

Ahhhhh…Memories of naked coed pillow fights…

_Coldfire staggers out of the saloon, sporting a half empty Jack Daniels bottle_.

“First of all, pilgrim, it’s half FULL. Ya got that?”

_He looks around, somewhat puzzled…_

“Whuts the deal with all them plastic gizmos? That shit ain’t no proper Smith 'n Wesson!”

_Coldfire reaches for his empty holster._

“Damn. Left me canon in me other pants again. - hic -”

_Cold crashes into the bathtub. You know, where they let the horses drink._

“That you Nadine? Quits nibblin’ m’ear willya…”

:I sneak up behind VB and let him have a blast of cold water right at the neckline.:

Ten paces nothing…this is guerrilla warfare. Now where did Bratman go?

\>\>A war cry of “SPOOOOON!!” is heard as a car zooms past, supersoaker blazing away from the window as BratMan nails VestalBlue and Coldfire. Sadly for BratMan, Smooth is only wounded in the drive-by squirting.\<\<

Ok, Swiddles, drop the water nuke, and back away slowly; I’ve loaded this baby with cinnamon oil, and you’re naked from the freshly started pillow fight…

And as for you, Smoothie, you’re next, chiquita!

BratMan? I promise not to tell anyone that you’re really **The Tick** and BratMan is your Clark Kent-type disguise! Noting that you lack an Arthur, I would gladly take on the role of trusty, cheerful sidekick…we could use our powers for niceness instead of evil!

Sneaking up behind VB,Coldie and Swiddles, purplebear blasts them with her super soakers \<one in each hand\> filled with ice water! Turning quickly, she also manages to catch Smooth Operator with a blast from her left one.

Heheheheh! 😃 😛

And, VB, dear?!?! \<As he turns around to see who called him, he gets another blast from purplebear, knocking the gun with cinnamon oil out of his hand\>

Looks like someone needs to move into this and clean out all the riffraff. And I reckon I’m just the guy to do it. I’ll give all of you until the count of 5 to get your yellow hides out of here and then I start unleashing my torrent.

Your arrogance displeases me.

**SPOOOOOON!!!**

\>\>BratMan unleashes a torrent of his own, as Mullinator is defenseless against BratMan’s volley of water balloons and guerrilla tactics. Suddenly, BratMan vanishes into the treeline as Mullinator stands dazed and confused.\<\<

VB picks up his oil cannon, and advances messily on Purplebear…Who backs away with an ingratiating smile.

This doesn’t faze VB, who puts the gun where it’ll do the most harm and squeezes the trigger…

Bwahahahahaha!

Purplebear falls squirming to the ground as VB takes a snap shot at Smooth Operator! Gotcha!

“And Mully? you’ve met your match, bully boy!”

“look down; see that little red dot?”

“painless” Doc Red\_dragon steps up.

“I offer towels to any who need help. It’s not very safe out here. NOOOO! Wait! Who deployed the sprinkler?!? You cruel heartless ba-”

He takes a step back, staggering. The doc lands flat on his butt. Taking a towel and wiping his face, he pulls out a grenade launcher, retrofitted to fire water balloons. The spoils of trading with bandits. With one shot, he takes out the sprinkler before it can harm anyone else.

“Lets dance.”

**HEY!** Where’d _that_ come from? Looking around, she spies BratMan trying to sneak out of sight again towards the trees. Oh, no you don’t! She runs after him, soaked to the skin, banana cream pie dripping off her in splotches, and oil oozing from…never mind! :o … Hits him from behind, squarely in the middle of his back with her ice water-filled super soaker!

_ **PPPPPPPhhhffffffffffffffftttttttt!!!** _ Take _that_!!

Stepping back, she leans down and pulls Doc Red\_dragon up, accidentally dripping some banana cream and water on him, \<we won’t talk about the oil right now\>. Here you go, sorry about that. Didn’t mean to almost step on you.

_What_?? What are you looking at? She looks down at her top and…:o oh. \<quickly rearranges her soaked top again\>  
Hehehee…sorry 'bout that.

And, BratMan, I can flirt, but have to be careful. 'K? So, hence the ice water. 'Sides, I have to keep everyone off guard, don’t I? 😉
