[OPEN] we like sportz

Who: Open to everyone! Learning some sports, making some friends?
Where: Gymnasium
When: Grasshopper 20-22 (or the rest of grasshopper if you like!)
What: Getting people to play some sports, whether as beginners or finding people more on their level! Also can come in here for your personal sports games if you like?
Warnings: sportz. flying balls. (no)

As per Tidus's proposal on the netwrok on the 19th, the gymnasium has been set up around the next few days (or more!) around lunchtime--whenever those busy cooks in the kitchen deem it to be lunchtime--to hold a few ball games for all. It doesn't matter when a person comes in or their skill level, or even what they want to play. While there's a few set games, anyone is free to take the time to show off a sports game they're good at!

The set games are:
  • Soccer: A team sport played with a spherical ball between two teams of 11 players. The game is played on a rectangular field called a pitch with a goal at each end. Numbers make this one tricky to play with a full two teams, but two or four players are possible.

  • Volleyball: A game for two teams, usually of six players, in which a large ball is hit by hand over a high net, the aim being to score points by making the ball reach the ground on the opponent's side of the court.

  • Badminton: A racquet sport played using racquets to hit a shuttlecock across a net. Although it may be played with larger teams, the most common forms of the game are "singles" and "doubles".

For those looking for a more easy-paced game, badminton or even table tennis may be recommended; the former easier to go with if you treat it like my secondary school P.E. classes and launch the shuttlecock into the air; the latter found at the table of the gym with its own fold out tables for games!

Jugs and beakers have been brought in from the kitchen with water for anyone who gets parched, set in a corner where....hopefully no stray balls (or other) will find themselves being flung into. While Tidus has put this together and can be chatted to, he's letting anyone who knows more about the games to lead things as they like!

( ooc: this is just a chill 'come play sportz' thing that you can play at your leisure! also feel free to pick a sports game that isn't listed, BYOS (Bring Your Own Sports), w/e w/e. )

You live ON the sea, not IN the sea. There's a difference.

Sorry, Tidus. Afraid we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

[ SHOT THROUGH THE HEART, AND YOU'RE TO BLAME.

Dramatic gasp, hand to her heart. ]

...

[ Deep breath, and she comes over to put a hand on his arm. ]

Tidus. You were one of my first friends here, and you've become one of my closest. I'd like to think we have a special bond. Something that can't be spoken, only felt. You are a very dear person to me.

[ She then YANKS ON HIS ARM to bring him to eye-level. ]

But if you don't take back what you said about the sky, I WILL MAKE YOU REGRET THE DAY YOU WERE BORN.

[ With that, she lets him go, and puts her cheerful face and voice back on. ]

Glad we could get that settled! Come on, let's find more fun games to play!

[ She walks on, as if she didn't just threaten something unholy on Tidus' soul mere seconds ago. ]
