This is what we have so far:

Seeing as most of the other members had not arrived yet, wetmonkey takes thi chance to hide himself, and set up a position. He walks out of his house and across the street heading over to the old abandoned school. Inside, he knows are three working water fountains and a spigot. He rushes inside to fill up his two weapons.

Meanwhile...

Veteran ran quickly up the end of the street. He had been delayed by enemy warriors in the neighborhood who had started early, and needed to refill. He had heard that there was a water source at the abandoned school, so he decided that was the best place to start. He needed to ally with players fast or he would be picked off quickly. He arrived at the back entrance to the school, and swiched his APH to a 1x nozzle in order to conserve the remaining water he had. He slowly slipped into the building.

Soon after...

Spinner came out of the airport, dragging along his suitcase behind him. It was his first time to America, and his ticket had been paid for partly by the kind contributions of the Soaker community to have a representative of British Soaking present at this momentous fight.

He had been emailed a map of the battleground in relation to the airport, so he wasted no time, but called a taxi, and set off. Once inside the taxi, he opened his suitcase. Inside were the two blasters he had been able to bring: his CPS 1500 and his SC Power Pak. He hoped there was a working QFD there...

The taxi slowed down. The grounds were just ahead. He got out, paid the driver, and started to make his way towards the battlefield.

Veteran went deep into the old school in order not to run into any others before he could reload. He ran down the inner hallway and into the old bathroom. Inside he found a working sink. The porcilan had begun to crumble and looked like a hazard, so he grabbed an old pipe and smashed it off. He refilled his CPS 1000 and APH, and left the bathroom. He wandered down the hall and into the old teachers' lounge, where he took a rest from his run and waited for enemies.

Spinner stopped outside the abandoned school. So far, he had seen no-one else...but this state of affairs could not last long. He had to fill up. Looking inside, he thought it seemed like a good place to track down some H2O. In fact, he thought he could hear the sound of water...

He walked down the hallway, following the sound, finally stopping outside the bathroom. He then noticed the broken pipe. He knelt down and refilled, realizing though that someone had been here recently.

Veteran heard footsteps near the hallway. He pulled an old table up to the door to use as a firing barricade. He grabbed a stool and placed it behind the table. He switched his APH to a 5x, snapped on his blaster shield and mounted it on the stool along with his 1000. Slowly pumping his guns he put on his goggles, and waited. I must have started earlier than I assumed, thought Veteran, This place will be swarming once the others come.

C.D. was waiting at the top o the stairs on the top floor of the school, he had been waiting there since dawn. He had a 10 gallon bucket (that he had dragged up there with him that morning) filled with water. He had 10 water balloons ready by his side, and had tipped over a table as a barricade. his Monster X was set to the pulsating 10x and fully charged. He also had a small double barrel stream machine with him just in case he ran into more trouble than he thought. He had heard footsteps on the lower floor, but why go to the enemy when you can let the enemy come to you?

"It would be nice to have some allies right now" he thought "but right now I'll just have to hold out on my own..."

Wetmonkey slowly paced through the 2nd floor hall way. He could hear movement below and above him. That was when he noticed....A SNACK MACHINE!!! Old, and decripid yes, but the candy was still good. After mucnhing on a snickers bar, he began to mkae his way to the old algebra room. The big bay windows were all boarded up, bu one was left unboarded. "Interesting...." he thought to himself. He walked slowly up to the window and gasped at what he saw. He was gazing out across the old football field, and could see at least 5 people armed with 2500s coming towards him. He took a step back and....CRASH! He fell through the old and rotting floor. He landed in a heap next to a kid crouching behind a barricade with a 1000 and an APH at the ready. "Veteran....What's up?"

"What?! How did you get there?!" Asks veteran turning away from the doorway. "I have an uncanny way of popping up when least expected. Want to be allies?"
Back to top

C.D. heard a crash on the floors below. Though he hated to leave his supplies, he just had to see if whoever crashed was okay, even if it was a possible opponent. He quickly put his bucket, 9 of his water balloons, and stream machine in a closet and covered them with other stuff. He jumped the barricade with his MX and a water balloon in hand. once on the 2nd floor he followed some footprints in the dust on the floor. He followed them into a room and saw a big hole. He stuck his head through and saw 2 other boys. Quickly he opened his umbrella in front of him (just in case) and asked:

"Are you guys okay down there?"

"If you fell through that floor and are okay Wetmonkey, then those other guys could probably jump down. We should get out of here." Veteran whispered, "Hey CD, want to ally with us?"

"Sure thing, um, whatever your name is. I haven't made many friends since I moved here. meet me on the top floor, and I'll ask you how you know my name later." He then left and went back to his barricade.

Meanwhile, I notice the abandoned school. I go in and scope the place out. Judging by the number of people outside, I probably wouldn't stand a chance alone out there, but as far as I know (at least my character thinks so anyway), nobody else is in this building. I had to look for a faucet, an escape route, and some allies. I heard something go "bump" on the floor right above me. I go up the steps to go check out what it was, and as it turns out, it's Vet, and C.D. Out of reflexes, they shoot at me, but as I duck behind the corner, I hear them say, "Hey, wasn't that Razor?" "Yeah it was." When I hear this, I offer to ally with them...

"Now that we have a sufficient amount of men, we can try to find those guys with the 2500's." said Wetmonkey. The party moved up to the top level of the school. They found the staff meeting room, which had windows on 3 of the 4 walls.
"This should be a good place to hold out," Said Veteran, "At least if the roof caves in there's no one to shoot through. This is a good lookout point too." Veteran grabbed up a table and duplicated the barricade he had made in the other classroom. "I'll look out for enemies." Said CD as he moved over to the window. "I knew you're name because the guys I ran into in my neighborhood said they were looking for a guy with a camoflaged Monster X, I asssumed they meant you." said Veteran. "Hey, what was that?" whispered Razor.

shouting began outside the school...

Spinner, meanwhile, has finally filled his CPS 1500. Unfortunately no QFD is available for the Power Pak, so it's just dead weight.

Plenty of noise has been going on, so he hasn't yet left the bathroom: he just listened. Finally, when everything seemed to have quietened down, he carefully left the bathroom and walked down the hall. As he approached the side entrance, he could hear footsteps coming from outside...suddenly, the door was wrenched open, and several troops with CPS 2500s poured in and started firing at him. He knew when to retreat, and it was now. Dashing down the hall, he ran up the stairs as fast as possible. He was now glad he hadn't been able to fill the Power Pak...it would have been that much heavier while still giving him little protection from the 20x nozzles chasing him.

Up, up, up. He was now on the top level of the school. Where now? He chose a door entrance at random, only to slam straight into a solid object blocking half of the entrance, and tumbled over it into the room...

C.D saw Spinner jump into the room, but not knowing who he was, he opened fire. The gun pulsed back and forth in his hands as he blasted the intruder with pulses of icy cold water.

amidst all the chaos, the Leprekan has skillfully hidden himself in a tree with a pressurized 2100 aiming in an open third floor window. choosing a good spot was not easy, so he decided he would get the best hiding spot and wait for the enemy to come to him. whoever decided to shoot at him would become his enemy, as there weren't really any set teams. after about half an hour of waiting, he decides to hop down out of the tree and send up the time-out shot (a blast of green-dyed water shot vertically). games were a lot more fun with set teams. before anyone arrived he was sure to turn his camo jacket inside out to the solid white side so nobody would know he was wearing camo.

"Hold your fire CD!" cried Wetmonkey, "Hey kid, are you on a team?" "No, I'm Spinner, I just got here." said the kid. "Good, you're with us," said Veteran, "just don't knock me over again." "Hey guys, look at this." said Razor. He motioned to the far window. A green shot had just come up.

"O man! it's a time out!" C.D was very dissapointed at this call.
"I'd soak you more but there's been a time out" He said to the kid on the floor. C.D. put his spare syuff in a corner and went downstairs and outside to meet up with Leprekan "Why time-out?" he asked Leprekan "Things were just starting to get exciting" "You guys need another?" Asked Leprekan. "Sure, said Wetmonkey, we need as many as we can get."
"We should get out of here," said Veteran, "We don't want to be here when those guys with the 2500's reach the top floor."

Afterwards...

seeing that he is now part of the team, the Leprekan retakes his post in the tree and secures himself to the zipline.

Veteran pulled out his radios. "Here Lep, you can update us on the position of the enemy. If they spot you, go to our tree fort in the field." Veteran followed the rest of the team to their base.

Once at the base, C.D. takes position behind the barricade and topped off his MX.
"so which guys were looking for me Veteran, and what were they armed with?"

"Five guys with 2500's ambushed me and Wetmonkey, they are probably looking for us." said Veteran. "Lets man the fort guys," Said Spinner, "Veteran, you man the interior. CD, you guard the door. Me and Razor will guard the perimeter."
"Shouldn't someone guard the lower area?" asked Veteran. "No, we should open it up and use it for filling, theres a hose down there." Said Razor.


(Does the base have two floors? It should, we can have it elevated by four posts with a bottom floor.)

So Spinner went down to the lower regions to finally fill up his Power Pak. (BTW, why does everybody keep calling me "kid"? I'm probably older than most of the other members on my team... ??? )

EDIT: Checked, I am older.

"Wait!" Said Razor, "Instead of using the top floor as our HQ, why don't we just use the roof?" We can use the stairway the custodian used to use to get there. We should secure the entrances of the building though, do we have any supplies for setting up traps?" "I have some string." said Vet. "Great, lets tie one end of it to the trigger of a blaster, and the other end of the string to the door. When they open it, they get blasted. We should use a blaster with a good fan blast nozzle."

All this commotion at the school finally caught my attention. From the shelter of some trees outside, I had been reading when I suddenly realized the battle raging around me. "These newbies. It's time to teach them what REAL soakage is about." Putting down my copy of Utopia, by Thomas More, I went to prepare for battle. Hiking boots. I putt some dry shirts (dark grey, black, dark blue, dark green), some water for drinking, a liter for refilling. I dressed in my regular jeans, and a dark grey one that would probably shortly be too small. Grabbing my XP270 and a flashlight, I set out for the school.

By now there was some commotion on the roof.

(more later.)

Now, wetmonkey was thouroughly confused and lost. He hadn't seen his team since they had talked to leprekan, and now wetmonkey ccouldn't find anyone he knew. Next thing he knows he was on the second floor where he fell through in the beginning. PHe went to a window, and set himself upp ina sniping position. "Well, time for me to see some action..."

"Guys! We left Wetmonkey in the school!" Yelled Veteran. "We have to go get him, and fast," said Spinner, "You guys stay, me and Vet will go look for him." "We should travel lighter, I'll leave my APH here and you should leave your Power Pak." Veteran spoke into his radio, "Leprekan, do you read me?" a second later came "Yeah, whats up?"
"Wetmonkey's still at the school, you should try and meet up with him."
"Okay, but there are a lot more people here now." He said.
"Spinner and I are going back to the school, we're traveling light so we'll be there soon."
Spinner and Veteran took off across the field and toward the school. When they arrived at the street, they could see that Leprekan was right. 3 people were outside fighting amongst themselves. One had a 1200, the other two had Max-D 6000's.
"Should we go at 'em?" asked Spinner. "Yeah, they don't know what they're doing, and even with a 10k and 1500 we can take them on."
Veteran and Spinner charged at the three.

Razor exclaims that there is a good abandoned house in a nearby woods that we could set up a base in. It was at the top of a hill too. "Man." thought Razor, "If the whole team was here, we could check it out, but we're not going anywhere because Spinner, Wetmonkey, and Vet would have no idea where we went."

Razor, I'm going to go find Leprekan. Maybe then I can radio Veteran and find out which guys were looking for me, then we can hunt them down and take 'em out. Are you with me?

Veteran and Spinner engaged the three. Spinner shot the guy with the 1200 in the chest and face, while Vetrean stayed back and picked off the guys with 6000's. The K-mod really helps, thought Veteran. The guys ran away, it looked like they were teaming up. "Lets go find Wetmonkey." said Spinner. Veteran pulled out his radio. "Leprikan, where are you?" "I'm back behind west end of the school. There are too many men walking around for me to search."
"We'll go to your position and help you out," Said Veteran, "Hold tight."

Ok, what's going on? Yeah, CD is in the base, and so am I (I think). So it's perfectly realistic that he'd talk to me about finding the enemy.

After familiarizing myself with the floor plan of the school, I chose room 123 as a temporary base. Within, there were many abandoned desks. Setting the desks up with the long side vertical and the short horizontal, I fortified the door and then proceeded to look around in greater detail.

Flipping open my cell phone, I called other guys I knew, but none of them were home. I left a message for each, describing the situation and telling them to come to rm.123 and wait for me there.

In the back of the room I discovered a sink, which after a bit of work managed to work again. I moved a few dividers in the classroom, 4ft tall and 2 long, to fortify the sink.

Once I was sure my position was well established, I ditched my backpack and set out in search of another soakist. Quietly moving through the abandon building, I went up to the second floor. A large hole in the floor alerted me to definate activity in the area. Quietly sneaking around it, I came around the corner to find someone facing out a window with a super soaker, apparently in a sniping position.

Pressing the nozzle of my soaker against his back, I whispered, "Don't move or I'll shoot. If you cooperate, you can join me or go free. Any wrong moves and you'll be so wet, you'll wonder if it's the deluge."

The individual, who I later learned was Wetmonkey, replied."
