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! ]

((ooc: Event information can be found here! There will be no individual threads for the separate events, but you are encouraged and welcome to detail in your headers or starter tags what your characters are up to! ))

	[He shouldn't even have to ask (though she's sure he would anyway,) because she actually looks marginally relaxed for once.] It's an interesting diversion. Have you participated in any of the events? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He certainly would; observationally based assumptions are a start, but not precise enough to accept as fact. He gives a small shake of his head to the inquiry. ]

I have found observing to be most interesting, though I have not taken part in any activity thus far. As I do not experience physical fatigue or the other affects of exertion, I am uncertain as to whether my participation would be considered sporting. I believe that I may, however, pursue the artistic events.

[ And, with an arched brow-- ]

Have you been participating?

I'm reasonably certain you would not be the only athlete with abilities outside the normal parameters around which the activities were designed. But I understand your reservations. The artistic events are an interesting counterpoint to the physical ones selected by the Wardens.

[And who knew the android had an artistic side? She files that away for consideration. His work must provide some interesting insights.]

I have participated in some activities, but I would not say I have competed.

I am aware that there are a considerable number of competitors whose abilities are well outside the human range of ability, and were any fellow inmate unable to participate for the lack of a teammate, I would happily oblige. But I do not believe that, as an individual, I would feel... right, competing physically. Though I agree; I am pleased that, in addition to athletic prowess, intellectual and creative ability are being celebrated as well.

[ He tilts his head. ]

Participation and sportsmanship, I believe, are the virtues most extolled by the spirit of the event. Perhaps that is the wisest approach to taking part.

	That is a reasonable decision, [she says, nodding. As long as he doesn't feel barred from participation; she'd find that troubling.] I see no reason to invite undue stress. And taking a more leisurely approach allows me to observe others' participation; I find it interesting to see the different strategies employed to complete various tasks.

	[ He nods as well, in turn - ] Mm. With any population as varied as the one present in the facility, it is most interesting to observe the varying strategies and attitudes with which each individual approaches the same challenge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Precisely. [Athletically, she's only interested in measuring performance against her own standard. Information is always far, far more interesting than physical prowess.] Which artistic events do you intend to try, Commander? (Reply to this) (Parent)
