5th Floor Common Room - Starting at 11am FHT Sunday

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter had his St. George's cross flag close by as he waited impatiently for the match to begin.  England vs. Ecuador with continued participation in the World Cup at stake.

He had run down to J, GOB ostensibly to get some pastries to share for breakfast but really because he couldn't sit still any longer so there was a selection of muffins and doughnuts on one of the tables.

Now for the football to start...


[OOC:  Open to all!  Come cheer for England!  Or Ecuador if you must]

Conner came barging in just in time for the match to begin. He'd dressed for the occasion, in a shirt with a Union Jack pattern just like the one in the icon.

"Let's go England!" he whooped as he vaulted himself over the back of a couch and landed with a high bounce on the seat. "I am so ready for more celebrating."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Up England!" Peter replied with a grin. "I'm right there with you!"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"If you weren't I'd be worried," Conner told him. "I mean, hey, Nadia got to run around all crazy last night. It should be your turn."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Nadia is far, far prettier than I am," he said, still grinning. "Therefore she has the right to do things I wouldn't dream of."

Conner considered this for a moment. "Well, okay, it doesn't have to be running around shirtless and yelling."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"On the other hand, given the girls around here, they might appreciate a shirtless band of England fans," Peter replied. He watched Beckham's free kick AND GOAL!

"GOAL BECKHAM! Did you see that?" Peter bounced up and down.

Conner was up out of his seat and just about doing backflips over the goal.

"1-nothing England! Come on, guys, hold 'em the rest of the way!" he exulted. "Couple more goals wouldn't hurt either!"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Just another 20 minutes, England. Come on, Rooney! Come on Robinson!" Peter waved his flag. "Oh, they need to hold on!"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Come on, come on," Conner muttered, both hands balled up into fists and pressed against his mouth. "No no no no -- oh, that was a close one!"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter winced as Robinson got a yellow card then went down for a bit. "That's going to hurt if he goes off with an injury." He bit his lip in nervousness.

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Man, they're handing out cards like candy this year," Conner noted, wincing.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Seriously!" Peter agreed. "What's that, five this game already? That's not on."

"Huzzah!"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Huzzah!" Conner echoed, pumping his fist in the air.

"So Nadia and I were talking that we should form a football team and run around kicking all these American school's butts."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Like that would be hard," Conner snorted. Who, him? Still bitter about the U.S. team's performance? "If we do that, I am so there."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yay!"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Think we'll have enough people for a squad?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Well, let's see... You, Me, Nadia, Peter here, Walter might be interested, I think I've seen both Elrics knocking a football around..."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"How about Seras?" Conner asked. "Think she'd play?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I think it's pretty likely!" she said, "And if we can convince Jamie to play we would be all set even if we didn't get any other people!"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner grinned. "That's so cheating, but if it gets us a team . . ."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"You got a better idea?" she grinned.

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Not so much. That's why I'm going with it."

"Hey Conner!" Willow said.
