Paintball (1/3)

Mixing a Youtuber with a whole group of them, what could go wrong? I recommend Barker's videos, dudes funny! Kinda based on his shenanigans series. I recommend watching the video above to kinda understand what's going on.

WORDS: 677

PRONOUNS: THEY/THEM

GENERAL SCENE: AUSTRALIA, PAINTBALL FIELD

CHARACTERS/PEOPLE MENTIONED: BARKER, THE VANGUARD PAINTBALL TEAM, THE MISFITS

=your pov(you, yours, etc.)=

"Nice work out there today, (Y/n)!" Barker said coming up to you and patting you on the back. You were honestly surprised it went well, you were in Australia with the Vanguards for a series of tournaments, and it was blistering hot for it to be spring. You were sweating like a dog and couldn't wait to get back to the hotel that you and the rest of the team were staying at so you could freshen up. Reaching to your (F/c) duffle bag you pulled out some protein bars and a few bottles of water, tossing one of each to Barker. "Not too bad yourself, man. You're sweating like a dog though, no pun intended," you said gesturing to the patch on his arm with his logo on it, which was a blue dog. Pulling up your paintball mask and taking off the (F/c) and black balaclava, you uncaped the water bottle and took a sip.

You and Barker talked for a bit waiting on the team to get back with their things so you could all carpool back, your phone pinged. Pulling it out, you saw it was a Twitter DM.

@Misfits

Hey! I'm Ryan, the manager of the misfits. I saw you did paintball and was wondering if you would like to collaborate with the group? I'll pay for anything that may be needed.

Looking at the DM, you Showed Barker. He looked at it for a bit before speaking. "Paintball equipment can be pretty pricy, but if he's willing and this group is willing to learn a few basics I don't see why not," He said shrugging. Nodding, you responded.

Paintball equipment can

be pretty pricy, but If these guys are willing, then sure! I'm about to head back from a tournament in a few, so can I shoot you a text back when we get there?

Sure

Putting your phone back in your pocket, the rest of the team showed up, all of you piling into 2 cars. You discussed with them the DM you received on the way back, and they all agreed it would be interesting and fun to teach some folks how to play paintball. After getting out you headed to your room and took a cold shower, some relief from the hot outside. Changing into some regular clothes you messaged the guy back.

So, Paintball?

Right. Where would be the best place to meet for this?

Depends, where are you guys at?

Australia

Well, you're in luck. The team

is in Australia for some tournaments, so we could work around those 

Sounds good. Question,

why not have them playin a tournament?

They're meant for advanced

players. If they don't have any experience, they would get their asses beat. no offense.

none taken. they've played
airsoft before, but they had
to hit balloons, not people.

That helps some. Weapons

are different though.

how long are you going to
be in Australia?

about a month and a half,

but I can talk with the team and see if we can stay longer to teach these guys. Did they ever get hit when they played airsoft?

a few times, mainly in the arms
with padding though. why do you ask?

Continuing back and forth, you explained the different things Ryan would need to get so this group could play, good times to meet to help them practice, where you could hold a mini-tournament, things like that. After everything was sorted out, your phone buzzed with a new message from Barker, asking if you were gonna join the team downstairs so you could all head out and get dinner. You headed down and drove there with them, discussing over dinner the Twitter DMs you had gotten and they all seemed to like the idea.

This was going to be fun.
