Cap hasn't been to high school since the 30s. Hawkeye is a drop out. Natasha won't admit to anything involving her past. Thor doesn't even know what a
high school is. Bruce has a PhD from Caltech but unless it might have been on a test he probably wasn't paying enough attention to remember anything else
from high school. Tony's a super genius but he might have had the same problem except for girls.
All these facts ran through the head of Agent Phil Coulson as he scrutinized the large memo board at shield HQ. Six suspects eliminated out of the hundreds
possible. Ostensibly eliminated anyway, was there any other place to learn about a color war besides high school? That's where Phil learned about them. He
always felt he'd had an unfair advantage because of his fondness for Captain America, (his school's colors had been red and blue so the wars added white and
black which just meant he wore his suit to school).
He thought of all the new agents ant-lineing through the building, some of them where quite young, but would any new recruit have the gall to post
something like a "Department Wide A Initiative Color War"? not only was it conspicuous, on bright yellow paper in the middle of the board, but very specific and
judging from the type set and, (leaning in to peer closer) water mark, printed in this very building.
He took a sip of his coffee and decided, looking at his favorite stipulations about the war, he would allow it. After all, Fury would know about it and obviously
didn't deem it worth his time since there was no new tip on agents' dress code. Resolved, he strolled off in search of donuts, leaving his post front center of the board open to the operative behind him. The new
agent read the bit of sunshine tacked to the board.
Department Wide A Initiative Color War
1. All inhabitants of HQ may participate, even those who are in The Initiative themselves.
(Yes Tony you can wear your own)
2. There is an available betting pool but partaking limits you to supporting only one Inititive-ite.
3. The war starts next week, so you have until then to place bets, remembering that it's a week long.
4. Non pool members win only bragging rights.
5. Points will be awarded for shirts as well as accessories based on creativity and originality.
To clarify:
Store bought T-shirt= 1 point
Homemade T-shirt= 4 points
Store bought accessory= 2 points
Homemade accessory= 3 points
6. Points can be added or subtracted for originality of store-bought items and quality of the homemade. Also, points are awarded per-item, not per-day.
7. In order to encourage all participants, categories will be added if sufficient support (50 points) is shown.
8. To discourage demands for re-count, picture evidence is welcome in the new drop box installed in office L.
Author's Note: For those who don't know, a color war is when each grade wears a certain color and whichever participates most, wins.
