I persuaded D into sharing his side of the story:
~~~~~~
I want to get this out and share it, I'm over the initial shock that lasted a few days. So... I'll start out at the point where me and Hiss are walking along shaking nervously hunting T and L. I was tripping my skin off and frightened. I knew they were going to lay into us very bad. Then in an instant they were barraging us with paint like madmen (faster, closer and more intense than what we gave them). They were yelling and roaring. Hiss dissapears off to my side of the road but I get too fucked up. I was getting shot by one person constantly, T.
I fell down pretty quick, I didnt know what else to do besides protect my body and curl up in a ball. I got hit so many times and each hit caused me to stop breathing almost. It was just like getting boiling water thrown on me with a bunch of hammers wacking me, thats the only way to describe the horrible pain. I had my eyes closed and I was seeing red and evil visuals and parts of my mind screaming with anger, fear, adrenaline energy, despair, etc. I scream and yell as a reaction.
T shot me about 40 times, mostly in my back and legs while yelling stuff indicating he enjoyed seeing me blasted in horror and pain. He stopped and said "had enough yet dude?" like his anger was relieved a little. I just laid there moaning in bad pain. I couldnt talk. Then L came over and shot me in the dick after yelling for Hiss to come back. I worried badly that something happened down there permanent. It wasn't in pain it was all numbed. I knew that Hiss wouldn't leave me though so I had hope even with all this shit going on.
Between the time of me laying on the road getting shot and when Hiss comes to rescue me, it was about an hour. It seemed longer though, much longer. I began to wonder what happened to Hiss and if he was ok. L and T kicked me and gave me many more shots. They played a game to see who could make me moan louder. The worst part was when L shot me 5 times in the head (behind the mask) in about a second. I felt my brain go funny from it. I dont know if I had a mild concussion or what but it made me less conscious during the rest of this ordeal. During this I was seeing many crazy patterns in my head and forgot where I was or who I was, my mind floated away far into warm colorful patterns and visuals.
Suddenly I become more conscious when T begins to get splattered with paint very quickly. He yells and falls down too hurt to move, like I was. The rest was explained well. I take his mask off, grab his hair, ask what the fuck he was doing and punched him in the side of the face hard and im sure it left a hell of a bruise cause my hand is still sore.
We learned a few lessons, and sure what we did wasn't smart to begin with. Do I regret this? Of course. I might get PTSD from it. I might already have it. But I will trip again, and play paintball, and maybe even trip and play paintball with trusted people, to help me deal with what happened.
