[cactusy]

Any way I can talk you custodial guys into letting me do a big game of paintball all across the deck and upper deck? I'd work clean-up afterwards, maybe recruit some other volunteers to help. Greenhouse off-limits so people don't trample the plants.

[undisguised]

Unless Zack makes some solid objections, and as long as we can secure enough volunteers for the clean-up, I don't have a problem with it.

Also? I want in.

[cactusy]

Open to the public. You got any good ideas for bribes to get people to help clean up after?

[undisguised]

There's an idea Zack and I had a while back about doing something like a pizza party for the cleaning crew.

[cactusy]

You think that'd be enough?

-- So, uh, this is actually for a wedding, so. Free wedding cake?

[undisguised]

People like food. And if it's something people don't usually get every day in the cafeteria, bonus points.

[A distinctly awkward beat.] I'm sorry, I should've asked if it was okay if I joined in, instead of assuming it was open.

[cactusy]

Seriously, it's open. This kind of thing works best with as many opponents as possible.

[undisguised]

You're not wrong.

And clean-up is going to be such a nightmare. Wonder if there's a specific kind of paint that comes off surfaces easier.

[cactusy]

The glow-in-the-dark thing is a must-have; we have a vision.

[undisguised]

If we have enough time, I'm sure we could do some research on how to make something that'll work on all sides.

Plus, if we make extra, we can do smaller events later, too.

[cactusy]

You really think it's something we can make?

cw casual nuclear apocalypse mention

[undisguised]

Yeah. Back home, despite the apocalypse, Diamond City -- a small town that sprung up after the bombs in Fenway Park -- has managed to keep up maintenance on the Green Monster for generations. If they can do it, I'm sure we can figure it out.

[cactusy]

Huh.

Okay. Thanks.

[undisguised]

No problem.

That kind of thing is out of my wheelhouse, but there are enough artsy types on board, plus the library.

[cactusy]

It's out of my wheelhouse, too; I was just planning on doing a lot of port shopping. We'll need vests and stuff, for the people who want to play but are weenies about getting shot in the center mass without protection.

MOBILE MAKES IT SO EASY TO HIT SEND EARLY

[undisguised]

[Edward snorts, amused. Dryly, poking fun of himself more than anything elsw:] Or who didn't think ahead to bring theirs from home.

But then, I don't exactly want to clean paint off my combat armor. So I'll just go without.

the number of times i have done that exact thing

[cactusy]

You can have another vest, dude; I was just kidding about the weenie thing.
