CAPTURE THE FLAG

Who: All campers!
What: A game of Capture the Flag.
Where: The Forest
When: September 20, 7 PM sharp. Dinner will be served once a team wins.
Why: It's time to work together as a team. Again.



[Mr. D is waiting at the edge of the forest, and Chiron's trotting behind him with a list, inspecting the lines of equipment and making sure all the helmets and breastplates are available and clearly marked for which team they belong to. As each camper shows up to the meeting spot, the centaur ticks them off the list - it's an attendance sheet. Once Chiron's given him the signal, Mr. D begins speaking.]

Let's do this quickly, shall we? This week for Capture the Flag, we're going to be doing things a little differently. It's come to our attention...

[He glances skyward - yes, Hera has been riding him about this lately.]

...that we should do more to integrate the new campers we are hosting at Camp Half-Blood, and make them feel as if they have a home. That being said! This week, you'll be divided differently into teams rather than by cabin, and our captains will be the Roman praetors, since they know all about commandeering armies. Chiron here has done his best to make sure each team has a nice mix of all of you in it, so if you don't like who you've been teamed up with? Don't come crying to me.

The RED team will be headed by Praetor Jason Grace. He'll have the following team members: Alcuin Delaunay, Annie Cresta, Charlie Miller, Dave Strider, Ferb Fletcher, Emile Joly, Gabriel Novak, Heather O'Toole, Johnny Mason, Leo Valdez, Maya Matlin, Mike Warren, Natalie Goodman, Reynaud de Courfeyrac, Sadie Kane, Scott McCall, and Ventus Bradford.

The BLUE team will be headed by Praetor Reyna Rivera. She'll have the following team members: Anna Neumeyer, Bay Kennish, Daenerys Targaryen, Dean Winchester, Eponine Thenardier, Hazel Levesque, Hermione Granger, Jean Prouvaire, Karrin Murphy, Margot Sullivan, Merida of Dunbroch, Millie DeWitt, Ron Weasley, Saralegui Sargon and Sky Smith.

Now. Here are the rules, since I really don't want to see any of you getting maimed out there.


1) No killing. I cannot stress this enough. Lupa's pack lives in the forest, and she's told me she's having them all keep a watchful eye on you in case things get too intense. That being said, if you try anything, there is a very hungry group of wolves that you'll have to answer to.

2) No maiming, either. Chiron is going to be in there as well, working as a medic, but neither he nor I want to see any arms getting chopped off!

3) Absolutely no friendly fire. This is about working together as a group. I'm sure the praetors will stress this to you.

4) All weapons and magical items may be used -


[Chiron cuts him off midway to say 'Ms. Targaryen, put the dragon on your back away.'

Mr. D gives an exasperated sigh and continues.]


All weapons and magical items may be used in this game. Hannibal will be roaming the forest as well, so you're free to use him for...whatever it is that you Romans do with him.

[Yeah, thinking about his time as Bacchus makes his head hurt, so he's just going to Ignore It.

Once everyone's back in their positions after getting their helmets and protective gear, Chiron calls the game on and goes galloping off into the forest.]


[OOC NOTE: I have not included any characters currently on hiatus in these team listings! If you'd like your character to be included, please PM the mod account!]

[Unfortunately for him, a little boy in a tree struggling with his armor and excited for his first game of Capture the Flag is not hard to miss.

Daenerys approaches him, her whip trailing behind her, for once not coiled around her waist.]

This is what you are to use those bombs for, Charlie?

[The kid probably does need some practice fighting against people he's friends with in the game, and she'd rather it be her get hit by those stink bombs than anyone else on the Blue team - she was the one who created them, after all. Some of them just smell nasty, but some of them have...other surprises in store.]

[Charlie almost feels bad about fighting against her.

Keyword being 'almost.' This is a versus game after all and he wants to win -- he can't let anyone stop him!

He carefully takes aim with one of the stink bombs. It probably won't be hard to miss; he's still learning how to use the slingshot and the helmet keeps slipping over his eyes.]


'Course! Am I not supposed to?

[She's peering at him, trying to see exactly which bomb he's using. Maybe it will just be a simple stink explosion. She hopes it's not the one with flashing lights, or the one that gives a great roar when it explodes.]

No, they are regulation. You're allowed.

Cool!

[At least she didn't make any that were full of bees. That would suck for everyone. Especially the bees.

At what Charlie clearly takes as the go ahead, he lets the bomb fly.

It flies far.

Like, way over Dany's head and into the next clearing.

It's one of the roaring ones and he winces when it goes off.]


Sorry!
