Who: Falcon, Max, and YOU. New team members, old team members. Lurkers. Cheerleaders?
What: FOOZEBALL TRYOUTS
When: BACKDATED Friday, September 27th.
Where: The football field.
Warnings: Whoooo even knows.

[It is a BEAUTIFUL late September evening. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the pants were dead the football field is clear, except for various equipment and crates of SPORTING GOODS.

Falcon and Max are already there, probably trying to out-man each other. Look at them. They are beautiful.]



[At six PM sharp, Falcon gathers the group together with a blow of the whistle.]

All right, ladies, listen up.

If you've played before, you probably know what's going on. But for the new guys--hi. Welcome. Obviously, if you're here, you want to be on the team, and you're going to have to show me that you deserve that spot.

Before we start, I want to go over a few things. I'm Falcon, your coach, if you don't know me. To my right is my assistant coach, Max, who I'm sure most of you already know. And he knows what he's doing, so listen to him.

Leave your personal vendettas at the door. Foul play will get you a one-way ticket out of here. I don't need jackasses and poor sports on this team. Old players? I don't want to see any slacking off. You guys are supposed to be the example.

What we're going to do today is easy. Football is all about power, speed, and teamwork, with emphasis on the teamwork. No one here is a star player, so don't act like one. Everyone just show me the best you've got.

We'll start with a warm up. I want everyone to get stretched out and introduce yourselves, especially if you're new. After that, we'll run a few laps.

[He gestures to the crates, then folds his arms in his best attempt to look authoritative.]

If you don't have gear, it's been provided. If you need help getting suited up, let one of us know. If we have time, I'll separate you guys into two teams and we'll have a scrimmage. Sound good?

PRETEND THAT'S AN AMERICAN FOOTBALL IN HER ICON

[givemeyouranswerdo]

[HEY GUESS WHO LOVED PLAYING SPORTS?

THIS GIRL.]

[star_punched]

[You better bet your tootsie rolls he was here today.]

[raw_angel_power]

[Pit was here, as he said he would be.]

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

[Look what the dog dragged in. This guy seems a bit on the quiet side, with a seriousness that's trying to mask how out of his element he feels. Mondo knows what American football is but has never played it, and he never participated in sports clubs. It's a NEW SITUATION for him and he's not sure what to think, especially with all these weirdos and... wait, is he playing on the same team as girls?

Say hello to the cornhead.]

AND I RAN I RAN SO FAR AWAY

[raced_god]

[flamejock]

::Jock is running.::

::Holy balls, he is fast.::

::He has that football grasped tightly in his hands, though.::

foozeballs equipments for great justice

[raced_god]

[Toss a ball around, tackle each other, anything goes!]

[kumagypsy]

Ya know, I think if we're really gonna do this Flaming Hobos thing, then we should have flaming footballs, for real.

[She holds a football in one hand, and a PK fireball in the other.]

Whaddya say?

[raw_angel_power]

Who wants to warm up their throwing arm with me?

[Calls Pit, waving a football in the air.]

LURKERSSS

[raced_god]

[yes we are really the flaming hobos]

[holydeath]

[Sister Hel is here as promised, looking as strict as ever. Except...she's wearing full battle armor. And carrying her mace and shield. It's almost as if she's expecting something to go down. Something rotten, like an egg.]

[travelingbelle]

[Blue was off on the sidelines, sling and all. She was totally here to watch her boy ask 1.5 million questions about balls and maybe eat one.]

[voltecpower]

[Pulse showed up, expecting a different kind of football. Oh, this was American Football. Nevermind then. His timeslot already booked, he decided to find a spot in the stands and watch. He had an opportunity to learn something new, at least.]

[icequeen_aran]

[She can't believe it.

We are really finally the flaming hobos for real real and not for play play.

She's really sitting here for reals in a big over-sized team shirt, proudly a flaming hobo. ...Okay, proudly was very debatable but far be it for her to not be here and support the tryouts. They were always either hilarious or disastrous. Often both. Samus came prepared this time though, she had a huge bin of popcorn in her lap.

Probably much against her better judgement she was seated upwind of everyone else on the bleachers.]

[kuragekasa]

Yaaay~! You can do it, everyone~~~! How exciting!

[ oh my god crazy robot boy shut up ]

ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T FIT INTO THE OTHER THREADS

[raced_god]

[Cheerleading tryouts? Robot attacks? WHOOO KNOOOOWS]

LOOK OUT! IT'S THAT GUY!

[iamtheeggman]

[Eggsman was finally out of the hospital. He had dislocated ribs. Bad bruises. But worst of all, a severely wounded pride. They had to be taught to respect him.

So naturally, he was going to make an example of the football tryouts.

The Eggmobile started to fly into sight over the football field, and the bandaged up mad scientist looked out over the field. First, to get their attention.

No problem, that's why the claw of his Eggmobile was carrying a net full of exploding footballs. Which he released over the field.]
