Page 9 - The ball that defies all logic. [VIDEO]

[Patchy's got her guide set up on her desk. There's an open book in front of her with a pen resting in it, suggesting she had been writing something. Scattered elsewhere across the desk were a pile of books, a small container of other writing utensils, a soccer ball, a stray spell card, some loose paper... one of these things does not belong here

Sounds like the coolest soccer ball ever, Knowledge-sensei.

This soccer ball has been the cause of the destruction of many buildings.

[stompyerface]

...Seriously? But it's just a soccer ball.

An indestructible soccer ball traveling at high speeds from the way the game is played in Gensokyo... it can cause problems.

Ooh. [Something that's immune to everything... that's kind of interesting.]

What's a soccer ball for?

Re: Video

[weekwizard]

I guess you weren't present for those events...

This ball is designed to be a part of a game of soccer, hence the name. It was popular in Gensokyo for a time.

Oh, I see.

How do you play soccer?

It's a simple concept. There's a large field, with a goal at either end.

[Pachy draws a quick sketch of the field to illustrate it.]

People are split into two teams, and each team has to get the ball into the goal on the other side.

The catch is that you cannot carry the ball or use your hands to do so. Though, in Gensokyo, spell cards are usually fair game, since the ball won't be destroyed by them.

...Wow!

[weekwizard]

I'm afraid I can't share your enthusiasm. This ball has caused more trouble than its worth...

[whoisthatchild]

Really? [And now he likes it more.]

But it sounds like it's got some really powerful magic in it...

[weekwizard]

It might be, but I can't detect any. It's inert to anything and everything, save for just hitting it.
