You've got a little something..." she gestured vaguely to all the paint stains on his clothes, just teasing him. OBVIOUSLY he knew those were there. She was just pulling his leg. "...everywhere." Leo was quietly inspecting the paint stains visible on his clothes after he and Tiara had tested out the field shooting paint bubbles at each other. It had been awfully fun and even relaxing oddly enough. It let tensions fly which he didn’t even know he carried around. As Sophie approached clad in hoodie and sweatpants Leo grinned. "Hello Sophie," winking he looked down at himself and stated. "I guess I do. And so will you in a bit. How was your summer?"

Her eyebrow slowly raised a little bit, but she smiled politely, "H-Hello Mr. K-Kittridge...H-Hi Sophie..." Josette took a glance around noticing she was one of the first to arrive & she bit felt a bit awkward arriving so early. "U-Um..did I arrive t-too soon?"
Should she go back up to the castle & wait a few moments, because she could certainly do that? The next girl to arrive was Josette who Leo noted with satisfaction had also followed the clothing code for the event. Flashing the fifth year girl a big smile he said "Good afternoon Josette. I hope you had a lovely summer vacation?" Shaking his head at her question Leo answered. "You’re not too early, everyone will be here soon. Some probably realized that they needed to switch shoes and clothes before coming down here." And if they were girls they probably needed some time to obsess over just what they wanted to wear.

A few minutes later Abby joined them on the grass. Grinning at the fourth year he said "Hello Abby, did you have a good summer?" It was nice to see that the notice on the announcement board had reached more than just a few students. The more the merrier and it’d be better for the fun of the activity. Quote:

Ahem. Head of House and small group of girls present. Even better.
"Hey Mr. Kitridge, remember me?" he asked as he slowed to a stop and stuck his hands in his pockets. It was doubtful that he did, having not visited the library a lot as a first year, but it would be cool if he did. The first boy that came down from the castle dressed in grey slacks, trainers and a hoodie he didn’t exactly recognize at first glance. Something was familiar about him. Racking his brain he questioned uncertainly. "Good afternoon, you're Benzi Rider right that is just coming back to Hogwarts after a few years absence?" He still remembered reading the letter he had gotten from the boy’s parents earlier this past summer with a recent photograph of Benzi attached. Quote:

It had taken a week for her to sort out that even if she was UPSET about Cutty things, it didn't mean she needed to be upset with Benzi. SO there. Eden McGee could be mature and whatnot.
See?
"Hi, Professor--" she said with a nod. And yeah...he had paint......everywhere. When Eden came over to the group Leo smiled brightly. "Hello Eden! Are you ready and excited for some Ravenclaw bonding time?" He hoped so. She wasn’t wearing any heels which he took as a good sign. Heels were not advised for the activity they were soon starting. It could lead to a lot of unnecessary injuries. Quote:

But....he was there, nonetheless.
Dressed in a worn set of clothes and trainers, he joined the already assembled group...seeing a more familiar face in the mass. Josie. She'd interned at WHiM this summer, too. Meaning, she was instantly more tolerable by default.
Gabe was just going to stand with her, then.
"Mr. Kitridge." In Eden’s wake Gabe came down dressed in worn clothes and trainers. It was nice that both of his prefect’s had arrived and was there to get in on the paint action. Flashing the senior boy a big smile Leo said "Hello Gabriel, I forgot to ask the other day. How was your summer vacation?" Hopefully it had been good.

The next girl to come down and joined the group was Evangeline. Flashing the senior girl a smile Leo called over. "It's good to see you again Evangeline. How was your summer vacation?" Counting the number of senior students present Leo wondered where all the younglings had gotten to? Had they been scared off by the mention of paint? He hoped not. They were probably just a little late.

Not seeing any kids his age he sighed a little and wandered off to find a good spot to sit and wait. He sat down watching all the students and picking at the grass. Why was it so dang quiet?? Speaking of younglings one of the newly sorted eagle’s Chris soon came down to join them all on the grass. Flashing him a big warm beam Leo said "Hello Christopher right? Welcome to your first Ravenclaw house bonding activity. How are you liking the house so far?"

"I'm here, sorry," Tia said apologetically. But she was NOT sitting on the grass, even if she was dressed down. She was just going to stand and wait for further instructions. [/QUOTE] As TiaMarie showed up Leo flashed her a big beam. "Good afternoon Tia, did you have a good summer vacation?" Giving his watch a quick glance he was about to signal for Tiara to come over and get things rolling but she seemed to have been reading his mind. She demonstrated the paint spell they were using for the day and ordering everyone to practice. Leo gave the students about 5 minutes to get familiar with the spell before he waved everyone to gather in a circle around him."We’re going to play a little paint game using the spell you’ve just learned in the field and Protego. Sophie will lead the bronze team and Gabriel will lead the blue team." He paused a moment or two let it sunk in before he continued. "Using the Pingo spell you've just practiced and Protego you’ll work your way through the field behind us. When you encounter someone in the field you will attempt to strike them with a paint bubble. Vigilance and readiness will allow you to strike first but awareness can prevent you from being attacked. One you’ve been struck once by either a bronze or blue paint bubble you’ll join either Sophie or Gabriel’s team. Be vigilant and have fun! We’ll give more details when everyone has a team. So get out into the field and hide!"
Rules
There are only two teams; bronze and blue. Your goal is to recruit the other playing students to the team. When you’ve joined either Sophie or Gabriel’s team you help them to recruit the other playing eagles to that team until everyone is teamed up.
You will be shooting paint bubbles at each other. Only one action per post. One person will shoot the bubble and one person will RP the outcome.
You may either shoot a paint bubble or RP the outcome (block or burst) in your post. There must be at least one post between yours. (See the example if necessary)
If you’ve been hit ONCE with either Bronze or Blue paint bubble then you must join that team.
Include as much detail in a post as you want but please include who is being shot at/hit AND the colour. Please mark these by underlining and colouring or bolding the respective words.
Please wear the appropriately coloured avatar so teams can recognize each other.
Mr Kitridge and Professor Tanner will also be participating and are elligable to be hit with paint.
