The scene: Callisto's Playground.

Leicky (LK): I don't think this is such a good idea.

The Goddess (GC): And why not, oh "I'm allergic to pain" bard of mine?

LK: Playing paintball with just two people misses a lot of the point.

GC: Nonsense. Let's start. ((Aims gun at Leicky))

LK: But I'm not... ((Whap whap whap whap whap whap)) ready. ((Dripping paint)) That hurt. ((Aims gun at Goddess))

GC: ((Giggle)) You're supposed to duck you slow... ((Whap whap whap whap whap)) poke. ((Dripping paint)) You're right, that stings.

LK: Maybe we should wear protective gear? Or at least a heavy coat or something.

GC: What are you afraid of, getting your eye poked out?

Trancer (TR): ((Walking by)) Hi guys. Don't mind me, I'm just headed for the jungle gym.

GC: ((Grabs Trancer)) Come here medic! We need more players.

TR: Wait! I'm a noncombatant! I'm not supposed to use weapons!

GC: Noncombatant? What a silly fallacy. ((Hands Trancer a gun))

TR: ((Handling her gun)) How does this work?

LK: Hey, watch where you point... ((Whap whap whap whap whap)) that. (Very funny Trancer)

TR: (It was an accident. Honest!) ((Evil grin))

GC: We probably need one more person to make it easier to do teams. High Priestess!

Cal (CL): ((Popping out from behind a bush, dressed in combat fatigues and carrying a BFG9000)) I'm right here Goddess!

LK: Whoah! How'd you get there?

CL: Practice.

GC: ((Eyeing the BFG9000)) That's one big gun you have there.

CL: ((Beaming)) Thank you Goddess!

GC: Ok, you're on my team. The bard and the medic are on the other team.

LK: Why do I get Trancer? She doesn't know how to use her... ((Whap whap whap whap whap)) gun. (Trancer!)

TR: (Whoops!) ((Big evil grin))
