MID-TERM STRETCH

[poropride]

EVENT TIME! ( soundtrack )

Legend says that the very first Mid-Term Stretch was started by a young Yordle professor looking to make an impact at the school. While the details of the competition were lost to antiquity, Valoran Institute was forever changed. Every year since then, the school has hosted this day-long event after mid-term exams, as a way to not only let students blow off a bit of steam after tests, but also foster their naturally competitive tendencies in a--mostly--non-violent fashion. While much of the faculty knew what the competition would be well beforehand, they kept quiet, although a few rumors began to circulate.

Still, no amount of rumors would prepare the student body for the over-the-top competition that this year would offer.

Practically overnight, the campus was transformed into a makeshift battlefield. Platforms were erected on either side of the campus--one blue, and one red--with a wide array of items, all color-coded for each side. Students and faculty alike would be gathered in the middle area, where a much larger than usual projection of Karma stood.

"Good morning, one and all," Her voice boomed, aided by some unforeseen force. "Welcome to our 100th annual Mid-Term Stretch competition. I'll not keep you long. All of you should have received a message on your phones with a color. This will be your team for the duration of the event. Once you have received your team color, please move to your assigned position to pick up your gear, and directions for the rest of the event."

She paused, looking over the student and faculty body carefully. Her words are slow, measured. "I understand that it may be quite tempting to use this opportunity to deface our beautiful school. I would advise against this, unless the student in question is willing to live with the immediate consequences."

Karma smiled faintly. "I wish you all victory. Good luck and have fun."


[[OOC: This is an open log event! The Valoran Institute campus will be divided into five main points. These points must be captured and held. How? Students will be provided weapons and similar implements, all of which fire or spread either red or blue paint, depending upon their particular side. Your objective is to cover the area in your color. Points are kept real-time. Much of this is thematic in actual role play. Just beat the crap out of each other with paint guns and other things. Feel free to pick whatever color team for your character, but for ease of use, put either RED SIDE or BLUE SIDE in the subject line.]]

[Ezreal ducks behind a nearby wall, which is splatted with paint]

C'mon! Where are you even shooting?

[timedattendance]

[Ekko peeked out staring at his adversary]

EVER HEARD OF WARNIN' SHOTS?! TCH. YOU'LL BE PUKIN' UP RED PAINT BY THE TIME I'M FINISHED WITH YOUR PILTIE BLOND ASS.

[His blood was simmering hot as he leapt from his cover, bobbing and weaving through low branch and under brush, firing all the way in the direction of his adversary. He was good at dodging bullets. Just never great at shooting them. Something he and his lost pet rat had in common.]

[indy_wannabe]

IF YOU NEED A WARNING SHOT GET OUT OF THE GAME!

[Ezreal leaps into action, hoping into a nearby vent and sliding through to avoid Ekko's random fire. Waiting for the gun to run dry, he kicks out the door and jumps down, spraying shots at Ekko before scrambling into cover]

DEMACIAAAAA!

[ladyofluminosity]

[ And straight into two rounds of red paint. Holding something that looked like a lacrosse stick, Ezreal might catch a glimpse of a blond ponytail as a young woman in all black hurdles over the partition, dropping a few more paint balls for cover. ]

[Ekko looked over his head and back at his covering fire.]

HEY DON'T GET IT TWISTED, THIS BASTARD'S MINE GOT IT?! W-Whoa!!

[He powerslides down, choosing to dive into mud rather than paint, his gun splattering paint on the side of the vent. Scrambling up he looks all around, unsure of where his aggressor had run off to.

Blood sizzling he swivels around releasing a loud bellow.]

UGGGHHHH!!! LUXXXXXX YOU RUINED IT MAAAAN!!

[indy_wannabe]

Oh, sure, two people. 1v1 me, man.

[Ezreal takes some potshots at Ekko's gaping mouth before ducking into cover, putting as much distance between Lux, Ekko, and himself as he can]

[ladyofluminosity]

Ruined it?!

[ Skidding to a halt, she brandished her lacrosse stick, doing her very best to not immediately pose. It was becoming an ingrained thing in her mind, and a habit she really didn't need to bring into her non-Star Guardian routine.

Even if a bit of a victory pose was totally and completely appropriate. ]

Excuse you, but I think you mean I nailed it! You're just mad because I got there first!

[ Bickering teammates are the perfect targets, aren't they? ]
