So who all out there is interested in forming a Blitzball team? Won't be much to it since we don't have any opponents yet, but if we get enough people (and a place to play) we could have exhibitions, really get people into the game.

Blitzball, if you don't know, is played underwater. The point's to get a ball into a goal. It's a pretty rough sport, but there ain't a better one.

How do the land dwellers say it? Oh! I am for this game!

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

You live underwater?

[tempesting]

At times. Land and sea.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Well that's all right then!


...You don't have, like, a fish tail or something, do you?

[tempesting]

I have gills!

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Huh. That's pretty interesting. There more like you where you came from?

[tempesting]

There are! Atlantis is abundant with water folk.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

What kinda games did you play there?

[tempesting]

All kinds. Often racing. As well as tossing sea sponges from one person to another.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

That sounds like a good start. Violent tackling involved?

[tempesting]

Sure.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Sounds like you're almost playing blitzball already! You gotta show me your moves sometimes.

[werepanther]

I'm not much for water sports, but I'd be up for helping you guys snag a place on or off campus! What kind of arena do you need?

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Well... the game's kinda played in a giant hovering sphere of water. I'm thinking we probably need a good run of support before we can convince anyone to get us the Esthar tech we'd need for that.

[werepanther]

probably. :/ I don't think there's any sport on Earth with that kind of arena in the first place

But if it's played in the water...

nevermind, people in Spira just know how to swim better, huh?

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

And hold our breath better.

[werepanther]

hahaha isn't that right!

I know I certainly can't hold my breath that long. :( my fur probably wouldn't be able to withstand it either

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Beats me how no one else can do it. There's nothing special about anyone from my world. Worlds.

Dunno how to put that any more.

[9tailedtemptress]

How do you play underwater?! This sounds like fun!

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Hate to say it, but since no one around here can hold their breath, we'll probably have to cheat with air tanks or something.

[9tailedtemptress]

Well a rat once told me that if you're not cheating, you're not trying! So that would be acceptable! Can you hold your breath that long?!

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Of course I can! It ain't hard!</font!

[9tailedtemptress]

How long can you? Especially if it's a sport. Somehow it seems like it'd be really hard to do all that! You must have some natural talent~

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Aah, I'm out of shape. Only about a half hour or so right now. In my prime I could do a lot better!

[9tailedtemptress]

Half an hour?! Really?! Wow! That's amazing!

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Naw, that's nothing. But with all this teaching I haven't had time to get myself back into shape at all!

[9tailedtemptress]

I'll be looking forward to seeing this game! It sounds pretty exciting.

BBS;

[seethelanterns]

Blitzball? I've never heard of it before, but it sounds neat. I might come watch if you manage something? But um, underwater, wouldn't that be hard to breathe if the game takes a while?

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Not if you can hold your BREATH like any five year old kid! But since only I can do that around here, we'll probably have to use air tanks or something.

[seethelanterns]

I see....Well, if you do mange to get enough people and figure out how to set it up, I'd love to come watch you play!

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Heh, you bet you will! One or two matches and everyone'll see what they've been missing!

[seethelanterns]

Well, let me know and I'll come watch if you get it all set up.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Will do!

[moon_sigil]

You can count on me, Sir Jecht!

[She forgets to leave her name, but really, who else calls him Sir Jecht?]

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

[Also he's an Instructor so he has the ID list.]

Hey, I bet you even learned a couple easy tricks, huh?
