UN: KingofCorruption - Video

[The video starts with Max sitting on a plush looking couch. He is currently putting something together on the coffee table in front of him. He slides pieces together as he builds whatever it is he's making. Beside all the parts and springs, there is a tub of orange spheres. He looks up into the camera finally.]

Hello Ellipsa. It's me again. I've had a wonderfully fun idea so I decided to share it. As you can see, I'm building something. What is it, you may ask? I'm sure some of you can already tell. It is a paintball gun.

[He fits more pieces together as his smile grows wider.]

Why do you have a paintball gun? I hear some of you ask. Others What is a paintball gun? Another good question. It is a weapon that fires these little spheres filled with paint. It is part of a game called paintball. The goal? You shoot your friends with them to splatter paint on their clothes, their fur, and skin. It's all in good fun.

So this is my declaration of war in the name of fun. If I know you, I am going to try and shoot you. In good fun. And if you want to play, I challenge you to do the same thing. Shoot your other friends. Though we will have rules for this game. All good games have rules. We follow the Geneva Convention in this house. So. No shooting someone in the groin or in the head. Anywhere else is fair game. Though if someone waves a white flag or makes sure to express they don't want to play, no shooting them.

Best practices.

I am curious to see how long we can keep this game going. It ends when everyone stops playing. Will it last just a few days? Months? Will it last the remainder of our time here?

[The paintball gun is completed. He loads the paintballs into the chamber for the gun and cocks it.]

Oh! And before I forget. Goat. Chipp. I'm calling your debts. You have to play for the first three days. You can keep playing after, if you want. But you got have to help me jumpstart my paintball war. Forge alliances. Go solo. Pull people into the game. Let's see how big we can get it.

If you're worried about the mess on fur or clothes? It is a good thing you know a wish granting god who would gladly clean your fur and clothes for a discounted price during the game~

See you all out there on the battlefield. Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna go shoot my fiancé in the ass. Okay Byyyyyyeeee~

[He aims off screen, fires, there is a squeak, and he laughs before the video ends.]

[ Macaque is wearing a smile sharp enough to reach through the video and cut a bitch ] Just try sneaking up on me. If you get my sheet music dirty you'll have more than paint to deal with.

[ He's somewhere between serious and egging Max on. Max will have to decide how dangerously he wants to live. ]

That sounds...

[Scary? Unwise? Incredibly destructive? But this is Rinku, so --]

Super fun! I'm gonna do my best! I bet Mary-chan'd love it, she loves painting.

...

[ Now, Levi doesn't usually look at the network... but without fail, whenever he somehow does, it's something like this. He's not sure if that's lucky or unlucky, to be honest. It's good to be informed, probably, but also: why. ]

[ The disgust is very visible on his face. ]


Do not get any of that shit on me.

[ He might not respond too well to getting paint on his clean clothes... on another hand, that is probably an excellent way to actually get him to play! There's a good chance he won't follow the Geneva Convention if he does, though... ]
wingbound: (unimpressed // are you kidding me)

[personal profile] wingbound 2026-02-16 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ so you have chosen... death. ]

[ jk he's just a fast boi with some box cutter blades, he couldn't do much against y'all magical people even if he wanted to. ]


[ Levi stares at the horns with his usual blank expression, concluding that murder is a bit of a pointless overreaction to something like getting splashed with paint, but that doesn't mean he has to tell anyone else that. Let them worry. ]


Oh? What happened to not shooting someone who expresses they don't want to play?

Okay first off, I'm trained service animal and carer so you can't shoot me under the Geneva Convention.

[ That's totally how the Geneva Convention works right? ]

Also if peoples fur gets gunked up because of a war you started shouldn't you be offering to fix it for free instead of at a discounted price?

Re: Video UN: Sourpuss

[personal profile] luckynumber13 2026-02-16 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... yeah totally!

....okay maybe I'll get a white flag instead.

Careful, someone might accuse you of drumming up business for yourself with this.

Yo! You kind of left out the most important information there, buddy!

You didn't tell us where we can get our own paint guns!

What fun is a war game when the opponents are unarmed?

Well... considerin' I owe this fella some kinda lifetime debt, assumin' he'll let me -
I can just make one for ya.

This kinda thing's my specialty.

[... Guns, he means. Like, just guns in general. And knives, but that's less conducive to paintball.]

Wow, you want the Goat and Chipp to help you with your paintball war but you don't want me, I see how it is.

Oh, is that it? Here I thought you were slighting my paintball skills.

I'd love to play.

What is the goal of this competition? Will there be a prize?

[ Because that will determine just how serious he gets about it... ]
bombdemon: anime (ahem // trying to stay calm)

[personal profile] bombdemon 2026-02-16 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it sounds rather fun either way. But the presence or absence of a prize does affect the amount of effort I am willing to expend on it.

Let it be known for the record, here and now, that if anyone gets paint in my hair, I will kill them.

And this includes you, Max.
splittingheadache: (🪓 Baby‚ fuck it up)

[personal profile] splittingheadache 2026-02-16 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Max, I know you're joking, but I'm being dreadfully serious. I will kill anyone who ruins my hair, and this is, in fact, a promise.

[And Louis makes good on his promises. :)]

Also, what's a Geneva Convention?

Paintball, huh? Can't say I've seen too many gun games where the goal isn't ta kill or cripple, but could be fun.

With the number of super-powered beings floating around, literally and figuratively, it's definitely gonna be messy though.

People's thoughts seem to be mixed. Are you sure it won't too get out of hand?

[He's asking while practicing loading the gun Max gave him, because if it's a fun game he's interested in trying. He has experience with a bow, so maybe he'll even hit a few times?]
