Cyba Zero is distracted from her attempts to soak ThatOne and TheMadHatteress by a large water balloon hitting her from behind. She turns around, notices the ballista and decides the Irish Samurai is a far better target. She charges in the Samurai's direction and dumps a bucket of water over his head with gusto.
By now Cyba Zero is soaking wet and still partially painted bleen. -

SeaTurtle decides to clean up the entire battlefield with his trusty garden hose. Boarders included, that is. He takes aim at the nearest person, Cyba Zero, and soaks her with a steady stream of water.

Taking advantage of SeaTurtle's distraction, TheMadHatteress uses the opportunity to spray both Cyba Zero and the Irish Samurai a nice shade of High Pink. The fumes are enough to make both of them woozy.

Cyba Zero, confused by the sudden high pink and blose in addition to the bleen, takes a while to gather her wits. When she finally comes to, it is with a cry of:
"I HATE pink! Especially SUVIAN pink!"
She heads after the perpetrators, but they have already retreated out of range. SeaTurtle is closer, and Cyba Zero seems to remember getting hosed at some point. She runs over, dumps a bucket of water over SeaTurtle's head for good measure and says:
"I think they're out of balloons. Shall we give chase?" -

… and now extremely multi-coloured, despite SeaTurtle’s best efforts at ‘helping’, the Irish Samurai launches one final balloon at some figures fleeing in the distance, although it seems some paint has got in the ballista’s mechanisms, and it goes wildly off target.
‘Nevermind, I’m sure it’ll hit something. Physics or the Narrative Laws should see to that.’
Having given up on the trusty siege weapon, the Irish Samurai pulls out one of those long, thin, balloons normally used for making balloon-animals, and fills it with water to use as a water-katana (real katanas apparently being on the banned list for water fights since the Fourth Geneva Convention).
Still slightly under the influence of High Pink, he then wanders through the sodden and painted battlefield, muttering to himself about tap-dancing spiders, and looking for someone to duel. -

Was all Alex could think as he noted people chucking astral bodies at one another, watching with a sense of unease as he quickly realized that the purple paint balloon would have the effect of a moist petard in comparison to such ballistics. However, shrugging, he would chuck the item at the face of Jopalopa. If he wasn't going to do anything but draw on someone he might as well be artistic about it and attack the most obvious canvas.

ThatOne ducks to the other side of the now two dimensional tree and waits for the barrage of water balloons to stop.

TheMadHatteress is Not Amused. Though her top hat may now be a disgusting combination of wilver and urple, it is still functional. She reaches into the bag-of-holding-esque compartment and extends the propeller. Giving it a good twirl to kick-start it, she leaps into the air, seeks out ThatOne, and empties her entire stock of water balloons on top of her head.
