[It hasn’t been invented yet, but the Wii has, and it’s in the sports suite, and she—- Oh God, his head hurts. He shakes it out a little - better not to dwell on these things.]

Interested? You? [He wonders how much he can tease at her before she’ll back pedal, but he can’t hide the small smile on his face.] It might be tough for you to play, but there’s a league of us getting together, you know.

[Short. It’s because she’s short, but he shouldn’t say that, right?]

You could watch. With the group we’ve got, there probably will be some headshots.

[He shrugs.] Or I could throw you a couple balls sometime. It’s a great game.

[forceofnature]

Not in playing.

[How undignified!]

In watching you weirdos try to kill each other in new and exciting ways! ...That's what sports basically are, right? Concentrating your primitive ape urges to do violence into something more controlled!

And maybe someone will get head-shot.

[She's glad Iwa understands her this well.]

[bluecastleace]

[Iwa stares at her for a moment, blinking dumbly and not looking unlike a man who has just had a grand revelation thrust upon him.]

Why...don’t I disagree with that? [???] That’s kind of fucked up though, right? Kind of awesome...

[A dumb teenage boy through and through. Show him blood!]

I mean yeah. You definitely wanna kick some ass, yeah.

[forceofnature]

Oh, it's super f - [somebody else in the gym takes this exact moment to smack the ball as hard as they can with a resounding 'crack'] up.

[She's rated E10+. ...Even though she committed genocide.]

But hey, whatever helps with those primal needs. Vent that anger on the court - or better yet, from the comfort of your sofa looking at a screen! Sportsball is the opiate of the masses.

As for me, my talents lie more in heckling.

[bluecastleace]

[He snorts.]

I can only imagine.

It’s not something a player could get away with with a decent ref on the court, but. [He smiles a little, shrugs.] Can’t control what the audience does.

[He’d just hope she’d be on his side, but he’s...not gonna get those hopes up too high.]

[forceofnature]

Oh -- oh!

Did everyone hear that?

The leader of the Voidworld Volleyball Initiative has just given me tacit permission to yell whatever I want during any and all games! I won't even have to be subtle!

[how's that instant regret feeling, iwa]

And I've just got so many feelings to work out.

This will be healthy for everyone.

[bluecastleace]

[Instant, regretful.]

That’s not exactly what I said, and I’m not what you said either.

[Somehow he feels like arguing is not going to change anything about this. Instant, regretful.]

[forceofnature]

I heard what I heard.

[translation: I hear whatever I want]

Thanks kindly for the invitation. When's your game again? I'm gonna go work on some good puns.

'Volleyball - more like follyball!'

...Maybe I should go with Volleyfall?

[bluecastleace]

Hey, don’t go dragging my name through the mud with any of this. I’m trying to put something halfway legitimate together here.

[He groans, rubs his face a bit.]

We’re getting started with practices in a few days, but seriously.

[forceofnature]

Let's - go - I - wa! [clap, clap, clap-clap-clap]
Hate - to - be - ya! [clap, clap, clap-clap-clap]
When - he - sees - ya! [clap, clap, clap-clap-clap]
He's - gonna - cream - ya! [clap, clap, clap-clap-clap]

[she stopped listening]

'K, I'm gonna go make some signs. Have fun bouncing balls on your head!

[bluecastleace]

[S I G H

[There’s no stopping her. He should know this by now.]

See ya, Virdi.
