The roar of the rushing water almost made Gaspard's words inaudible. "I have the high ground!"

"Neeeeeeeerd!" yelled back Harris, who was precariously perched on a rock over the thundering river.

"Excuse me?" shouted back Gaspard. He tried to ignore the burning feeling in the gash in his right leg. That DoSAT intern had been quick with his lightsaber-- but ultimately not quick enough for a simple pointed stick. Come to think of it, that was kind of an embarrassing way to lose this game. He got down to one knee to alleviate the pressure on his injury and watched Harris from the riverbank. "What did you say?"

"NEEEEEEEEEEERD!" repeated Harris. "Are you seriously quoting the Star Wars prequels of all things?

"So what if I am?!" yelled back Gaspard. "I survived the lot of them-- all of the PPC's deadliest nutjobs! I've earned that right!"

"Not yet!" said Harris, windmilling his arms a little to keep his balance. "You haven't survived me!"

Gaspard sat down and put down his stick. "Somehow, I don't think that's going to be a problem," he said.

"You underestimate my power!" said Harris. He crouched in preparation for a jump.

"Don't try it!" said Gaspard, stumbling to his feet and grabbing his spear.

Harris bellowed incoherently and jumped. He was promptly swept away by the water and dashed against the sharp rocks further downstream.

Gaspard blinked. "Um. Hooray?"
