Hey. [ That is an all-encompassing tone, no worries. Mun is crash-landing until later, by the way ]

What's the down-low on sports from everyone's worlds, here?

You ever play Quidditch?

[voice] ny_vigilante June 13 2010, 00:55:12 UTC

Nope. [ But it is a sport and now he's intrigued. ]

What's the idea?

[voice] sacrificemyself June 13 2010, 01:03:23 UTC

Well, each team has got seven players, and they try to get a ball called the Quaffle through the goals while avoiding getting hit by the other team's Bludgers. It can get a little rough sometimes, especially if people fall off their brooms, but it's pretty brilliant.

[voice] ny_vigilante June 13 2010, 01:21:25 UTC

...brooms, huh.

[voice] sacrificemyself June 13 2010, 01:27:19 UTC

Ye-... oh. Right. Muggles don't use brooms for that.

[voice] ny_vigilante June 13 2010, 01:34:59 UTC

Barely use brooms for sweepin'. Nothin' on you, kid.

[ ...juuuuust in case. ] Gonna assume muggle's a neutral term.

[voice] sacrificemyself June 13 2010, 01:37:53 UTC

Er, sorry. Muggle's somebody who doesn't use magic. You can't really make brooms fly without it, I don't reckon.

[voice] ny_vigilante June 13 2010, 02:44:48 UTC

Oh, is that all? Definitely a muggle, then.

Yeah, I don't think you really could.

[voice] sacrificemyself June 13 2010, 21:44:04 UTC

But you've got those flying tin cans... aeroplanes, I think they're called. I don't really get how that's not magic, but I never claimed to be an expert on the matter.

[voice] ny_vigilante June 14 2010, 02:43:41 UTC

Ahh, planes are all about mechanics. Think it's more luck than mechanics, sometimes, but I never really looked it up. As long as I get where I need to go.

[voice] sacrificemyself June 14 2010, 03:02:43 UTC

That's how I feel about some of the ways we travel, more or less, though I am fond of brooms. I sort of miss having a decent one around.

[voice] ny_vigilante June 14 2010, 04:23:58 UTC

Maybe one'll turn up. Wouldn't be the weirdest thing that ever happened.

[voice] sacrificemyself June 14 2010, 04:49:36 UTC

Maybe. We'll see.

... what kinds of sports do they have where you're from? A friend of mine once brought up... er... foot-ball, but I couldn't really follow it

[voice] ny_vigilante June 14 2010, 05:43:25 UTC

[ Now, you? Sound distinctly British. Going out on a limb here. ]

Soccer, huh? Not too tough an idea if it gets laid out right. Two goals, one ball, no hands allowed. You gotta get it past the goalie- his job's pretty much to stand there and make sure the ball don't get in, but if you kick right it's no sweat.

[voice] sacrificemyself June 14 2010, 07:04:23 UTC

Oh... so Dean was right, in that it's like Quidditch but with no brooms. Or Bludgers. Or Golden Snitches. Huh.

So I guess a goalie is like our Keeper, then? That's the position I play... or used to, back when I played on the team.

[voice] ny_vigilante June 14 2010, 07:09:15 UTC

If it sounds right, it probably is.
