Let's get some excersize.
Okay, even with my investigations and the job as a courier I had to take to get more munni, I'm going stir-crazy.

There's a good sized park nearby. Anybody up for forming some sorts of sports league. I've got a couple ideas. Either just some races to keep things simple, or if we get enough people, maybe a baseball or blitzball league.

Alternatively, we could run a little tournament to see where our collective combative powers lie.

Blitzball is an awesome game.

A proper game has six players on each side, but we could easily play with less. Two forwards, a middle fielder, two defensive men and a goalie.

The entire game is played under water with a blitzball, which has the exact same boyancy as water, so it won't float or sink. Professional games are typically played in a huge sphere, but for what we're looking at the pond in the park should be sufficient size.

The goal of the game is to score more points than the other team by shooting shots through the goal. While on defense, you may intercept or tackle opposition to try to steal the ball from them. You're even allowed to cast magic such as poison, drain, wither, or sleep, but no directly offensive magics are allowed.

Whichever team has the most points when time runs out wins.

Okay, that does sound awesome, but I can see a few problems with it.

1. How exactly are we supposed to breath underwater? I mean, not a huge problem for me, I can morph dolphin or hammerhead, but most people probably can't breath underwater.
2. If it would be in violation of the rules for me to play while in the form of a dolphin or a hammerhead, then I would also have the problem described above.
3. Those who don't know or can't cast magic would be at kind of a disadvantage, wouldn't they?

Like I said, it does sound pretty awesome. But those flaws might be a bit...glaring.

1. Well, professionals, or focused athletes, like my friend Wakka, learn how to hold their breath for indefinite amounts of time. Wakka's still trying to learn how to condition himself to hold his breath while unconscious. So far he's nearly died twice.

However, for people like myself, and I'm guessing most of the people here, a simple Aero spell will allow them to breath while under water.

2. Transforming into a fish... Honestly, that one has never come up. I think we're going to have to kinda make up some rules as we go.

3. For now, I think it would be best to get a basic understanding of the game with no magic passes, tackles, or shots, and nobody using their unique powers either. Once we have a better idea of what kind of powers people here have, I think we can start working out more complex rules that allow for our unique powers.
