MENTAL LINK
( Sup, dickheads and co. I'm fuckin' bored, this place is fuckin' boring. Who's down for some dodgeball? Rhetorical question, who doesn't fucking love dodgeball. I'll ref for a while, and I dug out some probably not expired snacks from a cabinet in the rec room? Those belong to anybody? Too late, they've been sacrificed to the fuckin' vengeful gods of dodgeball, no take backs.

Anyway, long story short, I have done all the heavy lifting for you lazy assholes, all you gotta do is show up in like an hour to the training wing and throw this ball at people's faces.

I will mock you as a weeny if you duck out. Promise. )

PLAY
The dodgeball in question has a big grinning monster face drawn onto its rubbery exterior in black marker.
The rules, as Annie explains them, seem kind of loose...

• Rounds are timed, no lolly gagging or shit will end with no winner.


• Either team can have any number of players at any time, use this as an opportunity to tag anybody.


• Annie advises maybe not trying to hurt anyone on purpose, but eh. It's dodgeball.


• She'll probably whistle you if you use your powers. Feel free to argue with her.


• Still don't get this game? Sounds like a great topic to ask about.

SPECTATE
These snacks she dug out are in a big plastic crate with a clasp lid. She's put Noctis in charge of it, he has a little hat to prove it. He can dole out nutrition bars that are kind of sweet tasting, since they have some kind of jellied fruits in them. There are also bags of some weird little seeds that pop when water is added, just shake it. The flavor is nothing like popcorn.

There is also all the water you can drink. The bottles have also all been doodled on by Annie, weird little murals of pretty female faces and winking monsters.

Spectator time is for whatever chatting, dodgeball plotting, cheering or jeering you would like to indulge in.

( What's dodgeball? )

[ is it more interesting than alien literature? is it actually just throwing a ball at people's faces or is annie just oversimplifying a more complicated venture? ]

[sistershoggoth]

( The fuck is that supposed to mean? It's a game. Didn't you ever have gym class? )

[deployed]

[ Confusion rises slowly in answer. The thought never takes shape, but the obvious impression makes itself known: What's gym class? ]

( What kind of game? One where all you have to do is throw things at people? )

[sistershoggoth]

( Oh my god Bellamy what horribly deprived life have you lived. Are you a sad lonely prince too? )

[ NEVER LETTING THAT SHIT GO NOCTIS. ]

( It's a team game that kids play. If you get hit with the ball without catching it, you're out. Whichever team loses all their players first is, yanno, the fuckin' loser. )

[deployed]

( Definitely not. )

[ Bellamy's thoughts skip briefly to Clarke's exasperated expression, eyes rolling as princess rolls off Bellamy's tongue. ]

( What do winners get? )

[sistershoggoth]

( Uh, fuckin' street cred? The title of dodgeball champion? The fuck, I'm already providing snacks, what else do you want from me? Should I suck your dick too? )

[ ANnie... tho... ]

[deployed]

[ lkgjdasf ]

( Too? )

[ what the fuck kind of tournament is this ]

[sistershoggoth]

[ Fffft. ]

( Christ Bells, you're not my fuckin' type. )

[deployed]

( That's not what I meant. )

[ but it is also probably better not to explicitly ask who annie is gettin' down with. ]

( I'll be there. But I haven't decided if I'm going to play or not. )

[sistershoggoth]

( You are absolutely going to play. )

[deployed]

( I didn't say that. )

[sistershoggoth]

( I did. I thought that was obvious. I'm putting words in your mouth. Slash your brain. )

[deployed]

( You know that doesn't mean it's going to happen, don't you? )

[sistershoggoth]

( Says who? )

[deployed]

( Me. The person you're trying to convince. )

[sistershoggoth]

( Just try and weasel out of it. )

[ You've seen what she does to Murphy and Noctis............. ]

( I dare you. )

[deployed]

Is that a challenge? )

[sistershoggoth]

( Bring it on, Bells. )

[deployed]

( I'll be on the sidelines. Watching. Good luck. )

[sistershoggoth]

[ She'll throw that dodgeball at him herself, there is NO ESCAPE. ]

[deployed]

[ and this is likely how bellamy gets smacked directly in the face with a dodgeball, tbc in an actual log comment. ]
