[ Soul could make comments on recent events, be a serious Death Scythe and support his leaders in urging caution and blah, blah, blah... But he hates talking too much and he hates sounding boring or uncool even more than that.

So instead of looking super serious, he's actually leaned back in the chair of his desk after classes, clicking the tip of a clicky pen as he addresses the feed. Someone can feel free to tell him that noise is really fucking annoying, but there's no guaranteeing he'll stop. ]

Any of you like basketball?

[amorini]

...is that anything like casketball?

[This is a TOTALLY LEGITIMATE QUESTION.]

[video]

[soundsoul]

Uh - well, they rhyme, so maybe? What's casketball?

[video]

[amorini]

You know, casketball- five guys to a team, a ball and a net to throw the ball into on either side.

[video]

[soundsoul]

... That is exactly like basketball, yeah.

[scribes]

[Clue another clueless person]

I'm afraid I'm not aware what that is. What's it like?

[soundsoul]

[ God you all must have really boring worlds. ]

It's a game you play as a team. Usually it's five people on each side, but you can do it with as many as you want so long as the teams are even. You get a ball and your goal is to shoot it into the basket - and to stop the other team from shooting the ball into theirs. There are rules and stuff you have to follow that make it more challenging than it sounds, but it's a pretty cool sport.

[scribes]

Oh! That sounds like it could be fun. I wouldn't mind learning. Or at least watching for a bit. You thinking of getting a group together, I take it?

[Because this guy looks chill enough for a video response instead of text. Dave's just kicking back on a couch, shades on even indoors.]

Never played it before, but it could be a way to pass time and chill out. Not like there's much other options around here.

[soundsoul]

[ WIN. He smirks, nodding. ]

Yeah. Other than going for a ride on my bike, it's probably the coolest thing there is to do here that doesn't revolve around training.

video

[beatdownremix]

[He definitely likes this guy.]

Yeah, I've got two watch shifts to keep my time occupied most days. DJ gig in between them to chill out some, but most of my shifts is just riding on my bike and keeping shit in one piece. Learning how to play b-ball might not be a bad idea. My partner might be more interested in it, or actually know how to play no idea.

Could you ask a question normally and not make annoying sounds while doing it?

As for your question, I'd have to say that basketball is the only sport that I'd come close to liking. The rules are pretty simple anyways.

[soundsoul]

[ A pause in the noise and... then he clicks the pen a little faster. Does that answer the question? ]

Always been fond of the straight forward.

video

[sombrero]

Seriously?

Do you know how annoying that pen is? Cut it out.

(video)

[peacocked]

I can't say it's my favorite sport, but if you're looking for players I'm game.

(video)

[soundsoul]

Cool. Almost got enough for a real game at this point.

(video)

[peacocked]

Does this place have a field? Or are we going to improvise?

[ video ]

[firelotus]

I do know the rules, but I have not played it very much, or in a very long time.

[ video ]

[soundsoul]

We still need more people if you're up for playing again. I plan on teaching some newbies before hand, so it'll probably be a pretty relaxed game.

[ video ]

[firelotus]

I would like that. And it would be good to have a change of pace sometimes.

[ video; ]

[blue_wayfinder]

I've heard of it before, but I don't know how to play.

I wouldn't mind learning how, though.

[ video; ]

[soundsoul]

I'm gonna try teaching people this weekend if you wanna swing by and learn the ropes.

[ video; ]

[blue_wayfinder]

Where do you plan to do this?

[Video]

[pranksterheir]

[Dave told him to take a look at this, so he does.] It's not my most favorite thing to do but it can be fun.

[Video]

[soundsoul]

We only need two more guys to make a full game. One if you're in.

[Video]

[pranksterheir]

Sure, why not. It might be fun.
