it's war

[onebecametwo]

Who:  Devit & you!
Where: In the Plaza
When: The afternoon of July 9ht
Style: I'll match whatever you do
Status: open!

A bored Devit was never a good thing.  And Devit was pretty fucking bored.  After poking around in the shops to look for something to occupy his attention he stumbled across something that gave him a brilliant idea.  Well, it was brilliant in his opinion at least.  It still remained to be seen how others would see it.  Probably with annoyance.  Or possibly anger.  Prooobably anger.  If he was brighter he'd probably rethink this a little.  But no.  He was kind of a dumbass.

About a half hour later he was up on top of roof that overlooked the plaza, a big laundry basket full of water balloons next to him.  Now he just had to wait for some victims... it really didn't matter who, it'd be hilarious either way...

Oh shit someone walking by below him!

Devit took careful aim and let one of his projectiles fly towards the moving and unaware target...

Albert finds himself in the plaza quite a bit. Seeing as he staunchly refuses to get an apartment of his own, utterly defiant to the idea that he'll be stuck here for long enough to settle in, he has no kitchen. Luckily eating out is the low low price of free in the bubble so whenever he's hungry he simply meanders into town for a bite. He keeps to himself and usually no one really bothers him.

Usually.

Today, as he passes under the eves of a building on his way to a cafe he's grown to enjoy, his augmented auditory senses pick up the faint whistling of an object falling through air above him. Without thinking, Albert's already pulling his right arm up and pulling the glove from the hand, his metallic fingers glinting in the filtered light of the bubble. He fires a burst, bullets shredding the target with pinpoint accuracy... and leaving Albert drenched as the water balloon explodes spectacularly.

Okay. That's... really not what he'd been expecting.

Holy shit. Dude had a gun hand. That was easily one of the coolest things he'd seen in a real long time. Seriously, you simply can not get much more badass then a gun hand.

Now a normal person probably wouldn't want to continue fucking with a person who was part weapon. Luckily Devit wasn't normal people. He was fairly certain he hadn't been spotted yet; he was crouched down pretty low after all. So he decided the best course of action was not slinking away from the guy who could put a bunch of holes in him simply by pointing at him. It was pulling his basket of balloons closer.

He pulled two more missiles out, took aim, and flung them as hard as he could at the soaked android.

[copesetic]

Cyborg, thank you, he was human to start with.

Not wanting to draw more attention to himself than he already had, Albert simply jogs out of the trajectory of the oncoming balloons. He's not as fast as if he had Joe's accelerator, but when one's used to being under fire with missiles, lasers, and bullets, water balloons don't really pose much of a challenge to dodge.

Devit's right in assuming Albert can't see him, but he can tell where the balloons are coming from now that he's paying attention. He does a quick calculation in his head, jogging around to the side of the building where his foe is bunkered down. Just as he guessed, there's a fire escape. Smirking to himself, Albert takes a jump and grabs the railing on the second story landing above the ladder, hauling himself up. Unfortunately it makes a bit of a racket so Devit would be warned, but Albert's not exactly coming for blood. It was just water, after all. Honestly the cyborg expects to find a kid up on the roof playing pranks.

[onebecametwo]

Omg whatever you both have robot parts.

Dammit...! Why weren't any of them hitting? Guy was just all casually dodging and sidestepping and stuff. This was seriously getting pretty annoying here. Water balloons were only fun when you smacked someoen in the face with 'em. Which wasn't happening right now.

He only turned away for a moment to grab a few more and hope his luck would improve, however when he looked again he was nowhere to be found. Devit frowned and scanned the 'battlefield'. How the hell did he lose track of a guy wearing bright freaking red?

Then he heard the rattling. It actually managed to startle him and he very nearly ended up tumbling right off the roof. Warned of the intruder's presence he whipped another balloon over in the direction of the ladder.

"Hahahaha! Dodge that one, red!" he cackled, assured that finally... FINALLY his shot would hit true. (Hopefully)

[copesetic]

The balloon hit alright. Albert raised his head and shoulders to roof level, water dripping from his hair and the end of his nose as he picks balloon bits from the top of his head and flicks them down to the street below. He's less than amused to find someone older than seven lobbing water balloons like grenades if his expression is any indication.

"This really isn't very funny you know." Seriously dude. He only has so many sets of clothes. It's really just annoyance though, not any sort of hostility. He'd only fired his gun hand before because he hadn't known what he was dealing with. Had he known he was being bombed with water and not explosives, he would have just sidestepped and walked on.

[onebecametwo]

Well it all works out as he probably has the MATURITY level of a seven year old. Evidenced by the way he's just cracking up over there as if he never saw anything funnier in his entire life.

"Really?" he paused his cackling long enough to actually BREATHE and reply, "Cause from here you look pretty fucking hilarious and uh..." he points to his ear, "You missed a piece right there."

[copesetic]

Albert plucks the last piece of balloon from the top of his ear and pushes himself up to fully stand on the roof. Now that he's got a good look at the balloon lobber, he's a little curious if the kid is even human. His skin has a grayish cast, almost like those trolls he's been seeing around but hasn't had cause to approach. The makeup adds to the alien aesthetic.

"Do you really have nothing more valuable to do with your time than harass unsuspecting strangers?" Damn kids.

[onebecametwo]

Devit honestly considered grabbing another balloon since Mr. Cyborg was just standing there all unmoving target like... but he figured that was pushing his luck a little at this point. He DID have a machine gun hand and all Devit had was basically some water.

"This is totally valuable!" he shrugged and grinned, clearly amused as all hell, "To be honest I was hoping some girls in white shirts would walk by if you know what I mean."

[copesetic]

"Ah, is that your goal?" Nope, unacceptable. Where - or rather, when he's from, that is not the correct way to treat a lady.

Don't mind him if he removes his glove again and fires a short burst of bullets into the basket, popping as many balloons as he can and having the happy added effect of drenching Devit in flying water and balloon shrapnel. He'd already seen the gun hand, there's no point in hiding it anymore, after all and if he can save some women from harassment and embarrassment, all the better.

He may or may not have a self satisfied smirk if Devit gets completely soaked, too.

[onebecametwo]

Whatever Devit would going to say in reply died on his lips as a fucking typhoon soaked him from head to toe. He was actually completely speechless as he stood there, water dripping off him and into the giant puddle at his feet.

It took him a moment or two to actually get his shit together enough to formulate a proper response.

"You son of a bitch!" He snapped, clenching his fists, "Do you have ANY idea how long it took me to fill all those up?!"

[copesetic]

"There's no need to bring mothers into this," he doesn't seem bothered at all at the insult. "And if you have the time to fill up that many balloons, imagine what you could do that's actually productive."

Look at your life, look at your choices.

Jasdero was minding his own business for once, searching for his lost chicken hat. It had disappeared due to the curse, but he still wanted it back. Everyone kept giving him fried chicken instead of a live chicken or a chicken hat. He had five pieces of chicken in a bucket - 5 was a good number, after all - and was meandering.

Until he got hit by a water balloon. "DERO IS WET NOW, HEEEEEE! CHICKEN IS WET NOW!"

[onebecametwo]

...Oh shit that totally wasn't someone he meant to hit.

"Dero! Get your ass up here!" he leaned over the edge of the roof and waved down at his... slightly damp twin, "I need your help!"

[bondummy]

"Devit, heeeee!" Jasdero exclaimed. "Dero found Devit!" Well not really, but it worked out in the end. He'd been searching for Devit (and the missing chicken hat) for some time now, and it sure was nice to find the more important of the two searches.

Jasdero climbed up the side of the building via whatever was available and sat next to his bro.
