Week 3

[airlockedmods]

[It takes a disturbingly short amount of time for the status quo to be restored. PAL still makes the morning and night time announcements through the PIP on each Champion's arm, and still the Champion unitards are freshly laundered and re-hung each morning in their closets.

There's a new floor to explore, a perverse reward for a trial well done.]

HOT SHOTS

[buddyoldpal]

[ Bowling, now that's one dumb civilian activity Nishitani can get behind. Not like that, mind you, but who doesn't love throwing some balls at pins, huh? Nishitani makes his way over to our favorite team, Hot Shots', lane and looks down the rest of the list. Ehhh, he can carry the team if he has to. He quickly grabs one of the heavier balls (heh) and holds it up, grinning wildly. ]

Awright, who's ready ta get fuckin' wrecked at bowling, huh?

[ Shit, Nishitani can actually bowl. It's. Someone tell him it's a team effort. ]

If ya don't know how, I guess I can teach ya.

[ Right, let's be helpful, man. ]

[honoraryembryon]

[ ... Shit, bowling. Roland cannot bowl. ]

... I don't really know. Could you tell me what I need to know? I only really know "throw ball and knock down pins". Didn't have much time to learn.

[buddyoldpal]

[ Ah, Roland. Well, of course he'll help you... ]

It's all in the swing, ya gotta keep yer arm straight.

[ He demonstrates, holding a 20 pound ball fairly easily and waving his arm like a pendulum. ]

The heavier the ball, the harder it hits. Ya wanna hit 'em all for more points. Stay outta the gutters or else yer fucked. It ain't rocket science.

[honoraryembryon]

The gutters I figured as much. Thanks for the tips though. I think I can pick it up fast enough. Might be best I start with a slightly less weighty ball, though. I mean, I can carry heavier, it's just... I'm a beginner.

[ So, you know. Thanks bro, you're so helpful. ]

Does everyone else on the team know what they're doing?

[shikosuki]

[ He's gone bowling before but like most things he's ever done it would have been with his brothers and uh

None of those idiots are any good at following rules or even caring about them so it was probably a clusterfuck of no one knowing what the fuck they were doing ]

It's just throwing balls isn't it?

[ I'm sorry Hot Shots ]

[buddyoldpal]

"Just throwin' balls?"

[ Just throwing balls??? Heh. Nishitani chuckles. He might actually be twelve. Nonetheless he raises his arm above his head dramatically--- don't worry he's not gonna 'just' throw the ball at your head or anything, Choro.

jk he sets the ball back on the. thing. I'm sure the ball-return machine has a name but I don't know. ]

Nah, ya gotta do it right else yer just gonna throw the ball in the fuckin' gutter, kid.

[shikosuki]

[ He blinks and tilts his head. He doesn't get what was funny (°ヘ°) (because he's dumb) But he IS listening, so there's that at least. ]

Ohhh, I see. I guess I never threw mine right before.

[honoraryembryon]

... No, you have to hit the pins right. I know it depends on spin and how you're throwing.

[shikosuki]

A... spin?

[tacomeme]

.... what, are we supposed to hit the other team with these?

[He picks up one of the balls and looks like he might be sizing up which of the others would be an easy target.]

[theoverseen]

Uh, please don't. We're preventing a murder here not witnessing one!

[Can't you read smalltext Takumi jfc]

[tacomeme]

... well it's not much of a game then, is it.

[He frowns, hefting the ball. Man he;d have to get a headshot to cause much real damage with this]

[honoraryembryon]

... Takumi, no.

[ Are you an idiot. ]

Hit the pins, not people.

[tacomeme]

Pins? They look more like bottles.

[buddyoldpal]

Shit, I wish!

[ Man, Nishitani would totally let this happen if Rhys weren't actually on his team. The easy targets are all gone.....

Alas, he walks up behind Takumi and tries pointing him at their lane. ]

Ya throw the ball at those. Each one down, ya get a point.

[ I mean... essentially... ]

[tacomeme]

Hm... okay, that's not that hard then.

[So he takes his ball and goes over to their seats-

-and sits on the floor, putting his ball on the ground next to him and kinda rolling it back and forth like a kid with a toy car, staring at it in intense concentration.]

[shikosuki]

Please don't, I don't want to be banned from another bowling alley!! [ what happened to get you banned before (Matsunos happened) ]

[tacomeme]

...did you kill someone with a ball?

[getgood]

I don't know, are you ready?

[Bring it, old man.]

[buddyoldpal]

Ain't gotta bring it, girlie, my team's bringing the heat.

[ That's a lie, they're... trying. ]

[getgood]

I'd hate to go up against anyone who wasn't next week.

[plugout]

[ He's not sure how thrilled he is at being on a team with Nishitani, where he can be made fun of (spoilers: he's not, at all), but eh. Nothing to be done about it. All he can do is bowl! ... Even if he's never done it in his life.

... But it turns out he's not terrible. Rhys swears (LOUDLY) as he knocks down most of the pins, but hey, at least he ends up with a spare! ]

[buddyoldpal]

[ Nishitani has spent most of his time having to teach his team how to bowl so if it's any consolation, the fact that Rhys knows more than the bare minimum is already a plus in his book. Good job, Rhys! ]

Well, shit. Guess ya ain't useless after all!

[plugout]

That's a reeeeeeally weird way of complimenting me on a good job.

[ He's... so cocky already... smh. ]

[myocordial]

Not bad at all, Rhys! [...What? Rhys is his roomie, he can still compliment him even when they're on different teams.] Keep it up and make this a good challenge, hm?

[......okay and also it's about that.]
