Chapter Three: I Get The Ball Rolling

[olympicswimmer]

[ Today, some interesting somethings are happening at the high school...

A. In various parts of the building, you may see a boy posting a hand-scrawled sign that reads:

BASKETBALL TRYOUTS
GYM
3:00
MICROWAVE SASUAGE WRAPPED IN PANCAKES
Yes, with the typo. This is his subtle recruiting for Le Resistance

Still trying to decide whether the pancakes thing sounds good or gross.

I can't believe I'm the only one who's tried them.

[doastheromansdo]

Chalk it up to a unique diet and call it a day?

[olympicswimmer]

Jimmy Dean's crying somewhere.

[doastheromansdo]

I'm sure he'll get over it.

[olympicswimmer]

Breakfast dudes are sensitive.

So are you in for fake basketball practice?

[doastheromansdo]

If you say so.

That's why I'm here.

[olympicswimmer]

Right. Here's the plan: lock ourselves in the gym on a regular basis, let the drones think we're practicing, use the time to train and plot an escape.

[doastheromansdo]

Sounds good. Except what if they actually expect us to be good at basketball? Drone parents seem pretty big on sports.

[olympicswimmer]

No one gets in or out of Mayfield. That means no visiting teams, which means no basketball games.

[doastheromansdo]

Good point. Though it does make you wonder why they bother having teams at all.

[olympicswimmer]

To burn off eating hamsteak and eleven billion pancakes for breakfast.

[doastheromansdo]

Well, that make sense. People use logic even in a crazy place like this.
