The grounds, Monday night

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia had had a mostly normal weekend and a quiet, pleasant day. She had a big red rubber kickball left over from the bouncy ball attacks last winter, and thanks to Al, a fake leg.

What did all this mean?

Prosthetic limb ball!

Created by bored teenaged street people who usually had to make due with whatever they found lying around, prosthetic limb ball was a time honored tradition for Nadia and her gang back in Buenos Aires, and it was about time it made its debut in Fandom. The rules were simple: you took a ball. You took a prosthetic limb. You hit the ball with the prosthetic limb while other people tried to make it harder for you to do it.

It could be baseball, t-ball, polo, hockey . . . but Nadia was thinking tonight it should be kick ball. Since the prosthetic limb had a foot.

The bases were to be determined, the teams would probably be chaotic, Nadia was just hoping some other folks would show up to play with her.

[ooc: yep, one of those nights where Nadia-mun gets bored and weird. Come play prosthetic limb ball!

Now with OCD!]

Tyler stumbled across Nadia and blinked at her a few times. "That a prosthetic limb, Santos?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Yes!"

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"Interesting choice," Tyler commented. "You rob a medical supply house?"

The Doctor just so happened to be wandering the grounds at the time.

"Is there someone running around with only one leg, thanks to you?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Nope." Nadia swung the leg over her shoulder . . . and got kicked in the back by it. "This leg was made by my friend specifically for this purpose."

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"And what purpose would that be?"

Anders was wandering the grounds with his yo-yo, rather pleased with himself because he'd only bashed himself in the shins three times in the past two hours.

But of course when there was someone playing with a prosthetic limb, even the allure of a shiny new yo-yo had to subside.

"Nadia, what in frak's name are you doing?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Playing prosthetic limb ball," Nadia said, as if this was the most obvious thing ever.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Maybe it was the word 'ball' that did it, but it suddenly all made sense to Anders. "Fast-pitch or slow-pitch? Overhand or underhand? Underhand's probably easier, but . . ."

Jamie looks at Nadia holding a leg and just shrugs. "Okay. So what are the rules here?"

[nadiathesaint]

"You hit the ball with the fake leg. And try to keep other people from hitting the ball with the fake leg. Like kickball, only possibly involving full tackling."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Okay but is there a rule about having too many players on the field? Full body tackling tends to create dupes."

Peter looked at the limb and at the ball. "New version of football then?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Sure, why not?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I don't see why not," Peter replied with a grin. "How do we play?"

Keep joining in!

"Pippi!" Nadia waved the leg. "Come play prosthetic limb ball with us!"

Play ball!

[nadiathesaint]

Organization? Um, let's see. Start a thread of you "batting" (or legging) as the case may be), then join others' threads and try to keep 'em from hitting the ball/deciding where a base is and getting a run.

Re: Play ball!

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"I wanna bat leadoff!" Anders didn't really wait for anybody else to chime in before he grabbed the leg and made a show of stepping into the batter's box, adjusting his imaginary batting gloves and waggling the leg.

Re: Play ball!

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"You'll never hit it, holding it that way," the Doctor said from his official referee spot.

Re: Play ball!

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi grabs the leg holds it over her shoulder and wiggles her butt waiting for the pitch.

Re: Play ball!

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia was still pitching. Or bowling, as the case may be.

"Easy legger, move in, move in!"

OOC

[nadiathesaint]

OCD'ed chaos! Wheeeeeee!

Credit for prosthetic limb ball goes to an old friend of mine named Sam, who was nearly charged for drunk and disorderly conduct without even a whiff of alcohol.

I'm sure this was obvious? But Tyler bailed because I was hit by sudden case of the tireds and I didn't want to have him just disappear. He will play prostetic limb ball some other time, I hope.
