Gym, Friday night

Angela has avoided the gym all semester, but something about the day has her feeling unusually pent-up, muscles needing to be stretched.

To fight this, she puts on workout clothes and finds her way to the gym. She begins doing a circuit on the Nautilus machines, but it's a few bases arranged in a diamond on the gym floor and a big red ball that had been left out that catch her eye. If just a few more people came to the gym, they could play kickball.

Angela likes kickball.

She roams back into the dorms and tapes a sheet of notepaper to the bulletin board on each floor, reading "LET'S PLAY KICKBALL. MEET IN THE GYM."

Then she returns to the weight machines, feeling silly as she waits to see if anyone will show.

Cally, having spotted one of the notes, wanders down to the gym. She's curious as to who posted the notes, as well as wondering what the heck kickball is.

"Hellooooo? Anybody in here?"

"Oh, it's you! And you're not old!" Cally smiles. "Hi. I'm here. But I have no idea how to play kickball."

Callisto came into the gym looking fairly bouncy. "Hey, Angela, saw your note in the dorms and figured I'd come down."

"Well, I've played something called kickball, but it might be different from what you're planning on playing."

Anders shows up in the gym, dragging Rory along with him after finally managing to talk her out of hiding under her covers (http://www.livejournal.com/users/rory__gilmore/36926.html).

"Chase! Saw your note. Looked like fun. Rory here needs some fun and distraction, stat! Let's play!"

[identity profile] sogothcally.livejournal.com 2005-12-31 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Cally hops over and hugs Anders from behind. "Hiya champ. You know the rules to the game already?"

[identity profile] cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com 2005-12-31 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Oof! Hey, coach." Anders turns around and gives Cally a quick kiss on the nose. "Well, no, I don't. But I saw, you know, 'gym,' and 'ball,' and thought, 'Hey, fun! Let's go!' I kinda figured there would be kicking of balls involved."

He pauses. "Rubber ones. The kind you inflate and play with. Please."

Rory gingerly lifted a hand in a wave. "Hi. I'm not three. In case you were curious."

Wanting to get out of his room, John notices the note and decides that kickball sounds really darn good.

He heads down into the gym. "Kickball's here, right?"

[identity profile] cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com 2005-12-31 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Crichton! Our even number!" yells Anders, waving. And also grateful that he's no longer the only guy in the room. As well as stopping to count in his head and make sure he wasn't wrong about that even number thing. "Get your ass over here and play, dude!"

"I'm not three!" Rory called. She figured clearing that up immediately with anyone she might meet would probably be a good idea.

Coin Toss - Then the game begins!

"Okay," says Anders, holding the quarter out in his hand. Everybody goes by last name from here on out (except, well, Callisto and Cally), since he's now in jock mode. "Coin toss. Crichton, since I'm doing the toss, you call heads or tails for your team. Whoever gets the call gets to kick first. That cool?"

After consulting with his team, John calls tails.

Rory flailed and tripped over her own feet, landing face-down.

Her fingers could have been touching the base. It's really not her call.

And here's Angela, Cally and Anders!

John grabs the balls and bounces it a few times.

"Score's 1-0, we're winning."

Aeryn didn't even see the notices in the dorms. Face it, no one is surprised to see her in the gym. She's just surprised to see other people there, playing something.

Rory noticed Aeryn. "I'm not three," she helpfully called out before flipping her hood back up and obscuring her bright red face.

John waves goofily before grimacing and rubbing his shoulders. Damn Anders.

A ball might be head straight for Aeryn. Fast. (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/345632.html?thread=13052960#t13052960)
