[True to the letter, Duo was at the gym, ready to go. He waited several minutes to allow for stragglers (he was bad at being on time for recreational stuff, himself), and for people to chat a little with him or each other and then settle in before he got started.]

So... uh. Hey.

[He grinned, giving a casual wave.]

I'm not usually one to run stuff like this, so don't mind me if it's not really sophisticated and stuff.

Basically, tonight, I wanted to get some ideas for stuff, see who wants to join, and maybe set up teams. Then, in a few days, we can start up practices, get people up to speed on the basics of the game, and then actually have a game.

[That sounded good, right?]

So, yeah. If anyone's got questions, let me know. And we'll do up a list of name ideas. Then, maybe, at the next get together, each team can pick what name they like from the list of ideas. I'm thinking of just assigning teams randomly once I have an idea of how many people are involved. I'll just do the old name in a hat trick, so no worries, okay?

So, whaddya got?

[Afterwards, he would mingle with everyone, collect team name ideas, and get sign-ups. Care to chat?]

[As people were arriving, Duo was greeting as they walked in. Feel free to chat with him and everyone else. Just make a note somewhere if you want to talk to Duo specifically.]

Well, that figures. Get a guy like you bored enough and ambition follows.

I had to do something, man. Twiddling my thumbs and playing against invisible opponents was boring me out of my skull.

I think I just got a little jaded. I feel like the baseball team gets more attention.

[His tone was hushed at that. He didn't have a problem with the baseball teams, but he felt a little sour that not as many people responded for the basketball stuff.]

I dunno, maybe baseball really was the national pass time.

Maybe. But I figured I'd at least give something a try to get a real thing going. If it doesn't work, then it wasn't meant to be, is all.

I'm in, so there's that. Course I think it'd be cheating if we were both on the same team.

Almost like playing basketball with Heero.

I'd agree on that. Besides, I'd rather gloat at you when I win.

Isn't that like cracking jokes at your own expense? [He pats his other self on the shoulder, clearly amused.]

Anyway, I'm game, so where do you sign up?

Maybe. [Chuckle.]

I'm just putting the names on a notepad until I get enough to make teams from.

[He nodded to the little table that had a pen and a pad of paper.]

Nothing majorly complicated or fancy.

Tch. Complicated and fancy sounds like a job for Quatre.

[He offers to take the tab to glance it over and add his name]

[Richie was definitely going to be here because basketball is his favorite sport. He's all for joining up on teams and getting out there with everybody on the court.]

Hey, how about we have teams in twos or threes instead of a full court? That way we can have more teams and if we get enough people involved we can get a tournament going.

That's actually not a bad idea. [Duo was intrigued.] I was kinda going off Yuuri's model for the baseball teams, but you don't need as many players on a team in basketball like you do in baseball. We could have a few more teams with fewer players and make it interesting.

Yeah, exactly! The baseball team's are cool and all, but how much of a challenge do you get from playing the same team over and over? If we have like...three or four teams, it'll change it up and if we wanted we could even swap teams every once in a while.

Luckily, it's been enough of a turnover in this place that the teams seem to change regularly anyway. [He chuckled at the irony of that.] But, I guess enough of us have stayed the same, it really doesn't matter in the long run either way.

But, you're right. There's no elimination rounds or brackets or anything to really progress towards other than playing one other team. Having the ability to do a tournament sounds pretty awesome.

Yeah, the fun of sports is the competition and when you just keep going up against the same team with no goal at the end, it doesn't mean much. It can still be a friendly game even with the brackets, right?

Oh, sure. Unless you get some sore winners and losers. But I think, mostly, it'll just be good natured bragging and teasing.

[He grinned a little. That was what he'd be doing, at least.]

So, you want in?

For being in a prison for whatever trumped up charges the wardens can think of, the group here is pretty chill. [So he thinks it'll all work out really as long as they keep it friendly.]

And no doubt I want in. I wouldn't be here if I didn't.

Mm... Yeah. Yanno, I think so, too. There've been a few major things, but nothing I'd say worthy of a prison back home.

[Duo grinned.]

Awesome. I'll go get the sign up paper.

Sweet. Let's get this show on the road. [Basketball is one of the few not engineer-related things he's found that keeps his interest in the prison.]

[Notepad and pen get. Richie was Duo's first customer, or, rather, teammate.]

You ever play before?

[Took some time to think about signing up? You can still do it before you leave. Duo's also available for any private questions and chatting. Or you can catch someone you spotted across the room. Just point it out if you want Duo in particular.]
