o2; sportsball!

[frigidaire]

Who: Isaac Lahey
Broadcast: Fleet Wide
Action: Wonderduck, if you want to bug him
When: now!

[ The feed flickers on and it's a bit jarring at first, not focused, like he's forgotten he's turned it on. After a few seconds of shuffling around, Isaac's face appears on the screen. ]

So, does anyone play any sports here? Doesn't really matter what it is, I guess. I played lacrosse. They're just a good way to kill time. And we got a lot of that sometimes, so. Yeah. [ A shrug, and though he might seem uncomfortable, he's not. He's just a little awkward, don't mind him. ]

Thinking it might be good to get people together to do stuff like that sometimes. Sitting around on the Wonderduck can get a little old, at least for me. Space ships are cool and all, but. Uh. Maybe kickball or something easy, if people want to.

[ Isaac, no. Whiny teenager problems. ] Or we can like... spar. Beating each other up is kind of the same thing. Is there anything else to do after you've been here a while? I'm bored.

how are you going to set up a kickball square in a spaceship

[frigidaire]

there are waystations and stuff
and i bet theres empty space in the iskaulit
gotta be better than sitting around though

[robitussin]

isn't 95% of the appeal of kickball running around in the dirt

idk i haven't done it in like ten years since i got out of elementary school

[frigidaire]

and i havent done it in a year because ive been trapped in a space tv show.
dirt and being outside would be pretty fun though.

but i think it will be easier to find a kickball instead of other sports stuff.

What sort of sports? I do not know what lacrosse or kickball are, though.

[ Isaac just stares at first. ] Uh, how do you not know what kickball is? You literally just... kick a ball. Run around some bases and hit people with a ball.

[noprophecies]

[she stares back because why would you run around a base, those can be dangerous because of traps set up by soldiers and so forth??]

Because it is not a sport played where I am from? Why do you hit people with the ball? Would that not hurt?

[While literally sitting in the same room as him. Possibly next to him. Sorry.]

[ Gonna get a dirty sock thrown at you, Davesprite. ]

yeah im bored. i dont want to play games on this thing or watch any more movies.
we've probably watched them all by now.

[feathery]

[Gross, man. A misshapen shadow throws it back. Take that high-speed sock to the werewolf nose, Isaac.]

weve definitely watched them all by now
we watched sbahj and it took you a near mental breakdown from boredom and lunar proximity to sit through it back on toxitopolis moonsville

Any sports that get organized would need an audience
Some of us want to stave off boredom without playing

[frigidaire]

playing is more fun
but i guess people watching makes it more fun too
like a competition. you all can keep score.

[aigue]

To cheer and jeer as well
Can't have a good sport without those
If you're keeping score, what about having a referee or two?

Sparring. Cargo hold.

[Let's see what else he's capable of. She'll be waiting, warmed up, and ready to go, her cloak and jacket folded and set aside on a crate.]

[frigidaire]

right because this is a good idea
last time we met you were psycho about guns
pretty sure i dont wanna spar with someone who has guns thanks.

[flawless_precision]

No guns.

Sparring regulations. No unnecessary violence.

[She will stay true to her word, here.]

[ladybro]

I like sports.

[ so helpful. ]

[frigidaire]

They're okay. Gives you something to do, I guess. I'm tired of sitting around.

[ Isaac's life is hard, living in a luxury ship that travels the universe. No big deal. ] What sports do you like?

[ladybro]

Archery. Jiu jitsu. [ ... ] Field hockey.

[ you can take the girl outta the prep school, but! ]

I used to play football.

[Not that Stefan particularly looks it; he would've been much more at home with a good book.]

Have you thought about setting up a space on the Iskaulit? There's plenty of room for some kind of field.

[frigidaire]

Yeah, maybe. Not really sure how that works so I guess I'll have to read something.

[ Ugh, so much effort. But he certainly has the time for it. ]

I never played football, but I'd probably be good at it. The tackling part, anyway.

[stefanged]

It's not that bad. You'd claim a space and then, I don't know, decide if you want that astroturf stuff or real grass.

[Hmmm... now there's a thought.]

If you plan it right, you could even get one of those sheds built-in for equipment storage. And since it's a field, versus something like the Center, you wouldn't have much to maintain either.

If you want to spar, I'm always up for it. I've been needing regular partners for awhile.

video;

[frigidaire]

Yeah, I mean. I wouldn't mind. I just don't want to sit around anymore. I never really had any training on how to fight, but I'm pretty strong, so.

[ It's all those werewolf genetics. ]

Re: video;

[universal_charm]

Being strong and knowing how to fight are two entirely different things. If you want to learn, I have no problem teaching you. I'm already teaching Winn, after all.
