260 — Olympics mingle
[ It is a gorgeous day down here at the bottom of the sea and what better day to have an Olympics! The obstacle course is set up, the towels are fluffed, the medals have been polished to a high sheen and every orange within sight has been sliced.

Okay. Maybe not every orange. A lot of them. Enough to fuel a whole prison full of athletes, so athlete away! We can't waste all these oranges! ]

	Right... I guess I could. You, uh, you're really interested in competing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There are benefits to participating in the sanctioned activities, and of the team sports this is the one I find preferable. Aside from that, I find the exertion relaxing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He bobs his head a little as he takes that in, considers it, and finds himself agreeing with pretty much everything she said.] You know, I wouldn't mind some exertion now that you mention it. I'm not sure when I played volleyball last. [But he'll head toward the net.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Number One is ~~the spiritual mother of the Vulcan race~~ a clever and logical lady, yes indeed. There's a hint of a smile on her lips, and she shifts the ball into her hand so she's ready to serve.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sure, why waste words, right? He gives her a little nod to show he's ready and he gets ready to volley back whatever she dishes out at him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She starts out with an easy serve, aiming it close enough that he shouldn't have to run for it. They could both use a warm-up, she thinks, rather than competition.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He makes contact easily and gets good distance on it. Unfortunately that distance is mostly upward and not so much over the net as typically desired. It bounces pathetically under the net, heading back in her direction.] I guess I'm rusty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	first_xo 2014-03-05 03:51 am UTC (link)
	[She bends to pick it up, not the least bit flustered.] When was the last time you played? [She gets ready to serve again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-03-05 03:56 am UTC (link)
	I was probably in junior high in a gym class somewhere? [He shakes himself out. He's not going to be bested by a ball. He'll be ready this time.] You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	first_xo 2014-03-05 12:45 pm UTC (link)
	Honestly, I can't recall. [Again, she serves. Another easy one. She's out of practice, but she's got good aim.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[This time his head does go over the net it looks like it's nearly heading out of bounds on her side though. Could be good? He's watching!] It probably doesn't happen much on a spaceship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It might have gone out, but she makes a leap for it and manages to bump it back toward the net.] We do have athletic facilities. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-03-16 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	So you play volleyball in space? [He manages to hit the return, but it goes straight up instead of over, so on the way back down he hits it back in her direction. Too bad the double tap is only for zombies, not volleyball.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	first_xo 2014-03-17 12:53 am UTC (link)
	I do not personally, but I expect some do. [Tsk, tsk, Sam. They're just practicing, though. She jumps and sets it back toward him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2014-03-23 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	[He manages a clean hit back to her. He's athletic, really.] What do you play? (Reply to this) (Parent)
