[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:
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. )

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".

Wait, so... you just... flirt? With everyone? [ Wait. ] Every girl?
no subject
Talking to guys is fine. [ Ironically, considering that's what he's usually more attracted to.. ] And I can talk to girls if I know them very well, like Nita, but when they're complete strangers or I don't know them very well, I.. I just clam up otherwise.
no subject
Shouldn't you... Shouldn't that be the other way round?
[ He points his forefingers in the opposite direction of each other. ]
no subject
[ He looks over at Tidus, and though he still looks a little embarrassed, Inigo also looks completely clueless. Like he has no idea why Tidus would even say that.
(Because Inigo is a moron.) ]
Why?
no subject
[ Hold on. Wait a minute. ]
Do you like girls?
i can't believe this thread is just figuring out inigo's sexuality now
Well, if I was close with a girl and we had mutual interest and wanted to date.. then that'd be pretty nice?
can't believe this puzzle inigo's sexuality is
Would you have sex with a girl? Or guy?
no subject
[ He doesn't hesitate about that. There's nothing really about the thought of sex with either a guy or a girl that repulses him in any way - though he knows it's going to make him shy for sure if he lingers for too long on that imagination, and that's No Good in the middle of this bro talk, so he quickly speaks on. ]
But I don't think I've ever seen a girl and was immediately attracted to them without even having spoken to them? I mean, I can tell when girls are beautiful, but.. [ You know, like thinking a sunset is beautiful. You don't want to hop in bed with the sunset! ] Whereas sometimes I'd see a guy, and it's-- it's.. you know.
[ Is he going to cover up his shyness over what he's leaving out from saying out out with a really, really dumb moving-his-eyebrows-up-and-down-suggestively kind of gesture?
Of course. This is Inigo. ]
no subject
But that eye wiggle. ]
Ohhh. You wanna - [ eye wiggle ] -- huh? You got anyone on the train you wanna do this with?
[ cue the eye wiggling (and a massive smile edging into his cheeks) ]
no subject
Even when it's about this subject. ]
Well.. I had someone like that. [ Despite the sad edge to the content of that sentence, Inigo still smiles, though obviously less goofy than a moment ago. ] Not as much right now though? I mean-- looks-wise Bucky is really, really handsome, but going further than that would be kind of weird since he's like a big brother figure to me.
no subject
[ Which is better to comment on then the part before it. And sure, it makes sense that Inigo likely isn't thinking about guys--or anyone--right now. ]
I still don't get it though, then. If you like guys and girls, what's the big deal you make with women? You know it's okay just to say hi, right?
no subject
[ He seems rather glad that Tidus gets it, rather than making any jokes about it that are highly likely to make Inigo both flustered and uncomfortable all at the same time.
(He even manages to nail the exact reason why Inigo hasn't exactly had rating people's attractiveness much on the mind recently, though unbeknownst to Inigo.) ]
Erm, exactly to the first part of what you said, that is, not the second part. I mean.. is it really?
no subject
[ Is that a question Inigo needs to ask him. Really. ]
no subject
Isn't that exactly why I can't just-- just say hi? You saw the way she reacted! [ He steps closer to Tidus, as if he can make his point more clear that way. ] Women are terrifying! She could have snapped my spine in half with her bare hands!
no subject
You just need to calm down, relax! Just talk to them... like you would a guy!
no subject
[ This should be an easy argument to follow, yet apparently it isn't to Inigo.. It's like he's missing some critical point here, since he frowns at Tidus in genuine confusion at the other's statement. How is he supposed to talk to them like he would to a guy if they're not guys?! That just doesn't make sense! ]
no subject
[ you dumb. Inigo never mi-lorded him when they first met so this is obviously what the guy's got to do, right?? This can't go wrong! ...it can but it shouldn't. Tidus is trying his best here! ]
no subject
How can I.. just pretend?! They're women, no amount of pretending is going to change that! Are you saying I should just be able to pretend you are a girl too?
[ Suddenly Inigo is just.
Looking At Tidus.
Like he's trying really hard to do exactly that this very moment. ]
I mean, you have a handsome face.. but not pretty in that girl sort of way, you know?
no subject
Okay.
Okay. Removing- ] I mean treat them normally! Like you did me! Just say hi! You don't need to flirt with them, it's okay!
[ But also, GONNA POINT AT YOU INIGO. ] And don't try and picture me as a girl again!
no subject
It's alright, I like you better as a guy anyway. [ What is that supposed to mean. ]
But I can't just pretend-- I mean, it's impossible to not notice they're girls! [ Unless they were looking particularly androgynous, anyway. ] And the moment I notice that, I get all.. all nervous! I can't help it!
no subject
But why? If you don't even like them as much as guys, what's the problem!
[ He's not going to stop asking this when Inigo's explanations just make everything more confusing! ]
no subject
[ Therapists weren't exactly a thing back in medieval fantasy times, okay. Just saying. ]
I have no idea why, it just.. [ He makes a very, very vague hand gesture. ] happens! I'm sorry that we can't all be calm around the ladies like you!
no subject
Guh--let's talk about it another time! [ he gives up! ] Ask Nita! She's smart--maybe she knows!
[ Is Nita their resident know-all about absolutely anything? Maybe, but it's more because she's a girl that he's thinking about her... but also- ]
Let's just play ball for now.
no subject
I can't just talk about it to Nita!
[ That may just be the worst suggestion he's ever heard Tidus make.
And he's heard some stuff. ]
But.. argh, fine! Never mind! L-Let's just play!
no subject
] --How about we talk to the whole train about it?
