grasshopper 19, video to all from the gymnasium

[blitzcheer]

'Sup everyone, how's it going? Got a more fun proposal than I last time I was here. [ A grin. ]

So I've been thinking we could run some sports groups! The gym's emptier these days with the training one used for all the fighting and magic classes, and it's going to waste! I don't know all the games they have the equipment for here, but there's a few I've been practising, and I figure we can spend a few days seeing what everyone likes and setting up different times people can come in and have a go.

I got a few friends to help out show some off: volleyball, badminton, tennis. Been practising basketball too. But if there's any you know and want people to get involved with, let's do it! Let's get some partners and have fun. There's hoops and nets gathering dust here.

I'm thinking we could do something around after lunchtime for the next few days, but I'll let you guys know the times for sure later. There's instructions on the ICP too if we wanna try something new once in a while, so come and check 'em out--I can even show you a few games now!

( OOC post about this here! )

What about soccer?

[blitzcheer]

Sure, the one you kick around with the goals? I haven't played that one since Gyueran!

[deductiongeek]

"Mmm! I played it a lot back home."

And he promised not to use his powered shoes if it meant finally getting a game of it going.

"Sounds like you can teach me a few things! If I remember...we might need a couple people for that, right? For a real game? Can you play one on one?"

You could do something basic with blitzball, but he wasn't sure with soccer. It's been a while... man, he should have asked Taiki more about it!

[goalriff]

I'm totally the captain of all the sports teams for my school back home! You need some help, I'm game!

[blitzcheer]

All the sports teams? Really? How many you play?

[goalriff]

Fifteen or so? That involves a ball at least.

Then there's surfing, track & field, skateboarding, motorcross... [Get the idea yet, Tidus?]

[blitzcheer]

[ yoooo. ]

You're busy! How you keep up? You have longer days where you're from?

[myblueskies]

I like playing games! This is a really good idea! I want to play too!

[blitzcheer]

'Course you can Romeo! I woulda invited you if you didn't say anything. [ Gotta have the little guy use up some of that constant energy! ]

You ever played any sports before?

[myblueskies]

Yes! I know how to play volleyball! And Joss showed me soccer on the computer but we never played it for real yet and do you know how to play hide go run seek kite catch?

[Maybe that counts as a game more than a sport. But it's very energetic!]

[blitzcheer]

Hide go run see sky catch? Wait, what was that?

[ Tidus laughs, since wow was that a lot of words at once. Please teach this ignorant soul, Romeo!! ]

Count me in! I need to keep up my exercise, and the best way to do is a fun way!

[blitzcheer]

You are totally a volleyball person. Whacking around balls full force? I can see it!

[sos_pilot]

I'll admit, out of all the sports which usually wind up with me smacking a ball into my brother's face, it's in one of the top five.

You aren't going to make me help show off badminton, are you?

[blitzcheer]

No.

[ A beat, just so Inigo can begin to feel comfortable. ]

I'm going to make you help me show off more than just badminton!

[flatteries]

[ He literally even starts looking relieved for a good moment there.

Until it's wiped straight off his face in an instant. ]

Wait-- What?! But I don't even know all of those sports yet!

[loveandduty]

I have a super important question. Am I one of those people?

[blitzcheer]

You better be one of those people! I'm leaving the volleyball games to you.

That is, if you're up for it.

[loveandduty]

I mean, I have to finish the Quiet room as well as help people with dating problems along with a couple other things buuuuuuut.... I think I can fit it in.

Hey, Coach. Heh. [ Arms crossed, looking preeetty proud of all this Organization happening! Roland knew Tidus had it in him, he was passionate about sports after all. Even though that tennis match was a close call! ] I'm still up for throwing around the 'ol horsehide if you are. Field football's gonna be tough with the layout, but hey. At least in principle, we're playing to the basics.

[blitzcheer]

[ Staring for a second, an eyebrow raising. ]

Horsehide? [ wait. ] You mean you?

Always a pleasure, Tidus.

I meant the football. [ AND YOU KNOW HE MEANT THAT!! Even if he admits last minute that it alludes to a decidedly foreign saying from his home world. ]
