PAINTBALL TIME - OPEN
Who: Moriarty, associated faculty, and whoever ends up getting dragged in
What: It's time for a good old-fashioned faculty paintball competition! ...Which may or may not also have organized bets behind it. This is what you get when Moriarty's running something.
Where: The Mythril Cage
When: Sept 28th!
Warnings: PAINTBALL VIOLENCE.
[There had been an email sent out to the faculty about a week prior - a short affair mentioning that a paintball competition between staff will be held on saturday in the cage, and that all equipment needed will be provided, unless competitors wanted to bring their own. There's also a note about being able to allow students on the teams, but only a very limited number in order to just fill gaps on teams. And, of course, there would be refreshments provided for both participants and the audience.
It hadn't really had any indication of who was running it, but it did seem very professional...
...And it wasn't like Moriarty was any stranger to organizing things.
But perhaps the staff might not like the...surprises he had in store.
And as for his students, he would have told them to come down and check out the match on saturday, provided they had no other engagements, promising that it would be very...interesting, to say the least.
...And considering he's a math professor, that's a good portion of the student body that got told.]
1 - Before the fight
[Anyone who comes down to the cage will note that the area has been changed into a perfect paintball arena, netting surrounding the top and sides to protect the spectators from any stray paintballs sent their way. The astroturf that's been set down looks secure, but Moriarty is actively shooing away anyone who tries to step onto the 'court', so to speak.]
If you must scope it out, do so from the outside! No one's allowed on until the game begins!
[There's all kinds of equipment for the various teams - four different color coded teams, so to speak, with Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow - there are also assorted corners of the arena that correlate to those colors, which is apparently where they'll come from. The most interesting thing, though, is that all the equipment is brand new - and top of the line, besides.
Finally, there's a Desk - which looks like it's being set up for something else - with signups for the four teams, and a paper detailing the Rules they'll be using - a standard Scenario set, with it being a battle royale with all four teams, and the last team standing wins.
Moriarty is standing around, ready to field any questions. Of course, you could also go make teams with everyone else, or just grab a snack from the food set out (a wide variety of meats, good bread and chocolate and tea, along with popcorn) and find a good place to watch the action, or speculate on how the hell a math professor financed all of this. It's up to you, really.]
2-A - Let's PAINTBALL
[Once the time for the game to start comes by, Moriarty takes the sheets and sends people off to their requisite teams, pointing them to the 'starting points' of each area. Once on the field, they'll more easily notice the faint 'color' on the battlefield's floor, marking the 'area' each team has to themselves.
Clearing his throat, Moriarty claps his hands together.]
Well then! I believe it's time to begin, though just in case no one read the rules - I'll quickly go over them, hm?
First off, this is a scenario-type game: a team game, where you must defeat the other teams! The last team standing at the end is the winner! The winning team will get the adoration of the masses, of course, and a special prize!
The standard rules apply - No Removing your mask while you're on the field, No wiping off any Hits, no shooting at players once they've been removed from play, and no physical contact with other competitors! Cheaters will be immediately removed from play.
[There's a pause, before he grins.]
Of course, that is only if they get caught.
Ahem. In addition, there are a few extra rules regarding hits. A hit to the head is an instant removal from play! However, you may take up to three hits anywhere else on your body before you are removed from play. As said before, cheaters to this will be removed from play.
Finally, if by the end of two hours, no team is the clear winner...then the game will be considered a draw. This also goes for the unlikely case that all teams are taken out at the same time.
...Got it? Good! I've prattled on for far too long, and I'm sure you're itching to get started! So, without further ado....
....Begin!
[And with a bang from a noise-maker, the game officially begins. Have fun!]
2-B OH GOD THERE'S TRAPS EVERYWHERE
[For the first 10 to 15 minutes, there's just the blissful sounds of paintball fighting. Nothing else in the world could be nicer, or more fun.
That is, until Moriarty - now seated at that desk of his, looking all the world like a mastermind watching his pawns move before him - suddenly calls out to the battlefield:]
By the way! The Traps I planted on the field are now active! Keep an eye out, won't you?
[And he's not lying - as if they were all on an electric timer (which, tbh, they were), traps begin to pop out on every side of the battlefield. They're difficult to spot, and there's all types - Some that suddenly trap a foot in a sticky substance, or trip someone who's running full tilt. However, there are much more offensive ones, each that will spit out the color of the 'area' that they happen to be on. Tripwire paintball traps, motion sensitive turrets, even paintball mines and claymores that make walking and running a terrifying prospect.
If the teams run in without thinking, the battlefield will quickly devolve into chaos and destruction...but a clever player could easily use these traps to their advantage.]
3 - Meanwhile, on the stands
[But for the spectators, there doesn't seem to be much to do...that is, until Moriarty suddenly motions all of them over...and pulls out a lockbox and multiple prepared pieces of paper, which have the general odds of each team winning, and statistics about each team on them.
Moriarty himself takes out a notebook with a flourish, giving a bright grin to his audience.]
And now that the game has truly begun....Shall we make a bet on the winners? Hm? Standard rates, and I will be your bookie, of course. The numbers there also reflect on payout!
[And he'll take money from anyone, young or old - though it can be noticed that he's trying to do a point spread, if anyone knows anything about betting. Someone could potentially call him out on it...]
[Regardless, the day is sure to be entertaining, even if you're only watching.
...Though maybe they'll think twice about letting Moriarty handle things like this, next time.]
