Above the Beach party

Sep 02, 2008 11:40

The waves are righteous (or if not III and IX will correct it soon enough), the sun is brilliant in the bright blue sky, and the layers of the party can best be defined as "in the water", "above the water" and "using the wind to get from one to the other ( Read more... )

After the water logged fun that was battle surfing, and the rampage that was tag around the food tables Larxene had her girls gathered together on the beach. An actual game this time, Frisbee.

Or several games of Frisbee all mashed together and running through each other. The rules seemed to be 'catch a Frisbee run then throw or get dog piled'.

There wasn't enough room on the beach to get up to their customary speeds, so it was possible for a Somebody to keep up as long as they knew the rule!

Observation is key.

Unfortunately, Yunno is locked out.

He will start on the outside and work in as he can.

Hopefully.

Observation only got one so far...as it the game was a confusing mill of frisbees and jumping, running women. Women who seemed not at all loathe to use each other as springboards...

In Yunno's case though he'd probably end up a hurdle as he waded in. They were good at not hitting each other unless there was a point to it.

It wasn't long before Larxene noticed the new comer. "Need a hand?" she laughed as she dodged toward him.

There's more than one way to make space around yourself. Yunno takes the easiest one.

"Thanks, let me just try something first."

He folds down to ferret shape and blatantly abuses the ability to fly under his own power to pop out the the majority of the scrum.

"The tricky part is going to be throwing a frisbee like this."

She shifted her trajectory to duck under the now-airborne Yunno. "Hmmm, I think you'll manage somehow. After all, you seem to be a Somebody full of unique solutions..."

And speaking of frisbees, here was his chance to experiment! The disk coming at him was thrown at no little speed, and the game was flowing in it's wake...but he'd have a few heartbeats to figure things out!

"I'm no Striker. All I have are- oomf!" that would be the frisbee catching Yunno in the stomach before he begins to spin it back up to speed.

"Are old solutions to forgotten problems. Archeologist!"

Toss!

"There is little difference between ingenuity and a long memory..." She noted laughingly "Especially when the problems themselves are forgotten."

The weight shift on the Frisbee as Yunno tossed it made it go off in an unanticipated direction...and the lesser Nobodies (Ninjas and Dancers by this point) all spun about much like a flock of birds to give chase.

Bother, that's not where he meant it to go. Alas.

"From the outsides it's mostly the reading," Yunno agrees, "It's a touch more stressful from the inside, I think."

Nothing for it now but to practice. With all the vaulting there should be one or two frisbees high enough to grab and try again on.

Considering the number of interfering hands? No Frisbee was going were it was initial thrown to!

"Yes, perhaps..." she shot as she launched past him, sinking into the fray as naturally as a fish in water "But the stress guarantees remembrance does it not?"

The frisbees were never held for long due to tackling. There was ample opportunity for practice!

Ninja, Dancer, Ninja, Dancer, Larxene, Dancer, frisbee!

Yunno pounces, twists and tries the throw again. He's going to need more work still.

"The burned hand teaches best," says Yunno with a tone of quoting after the spin as be begins scanning for a new disc, "It's still faster to learn from someone else's mistakes instead."

Ninja, Dancer, Ninja, Larxene...all with hands on the frisbee a moment later. Tug of war tackle style!

"Much faster" Larxene agreed with a laugh "And leaves you far more functional afterward. A bonus in most situations."

Yunno stops for a moment on the shoulder of a Dancer.

"I can't actually think of a time being disabled was an advantage," he says before the Dancer corners for a different frisbee and leaves him in midair, "Wahup! That's it, I'm adding this to the simulation training! Coming through!"

Charge!

Re: Frisbee harmitwithspark September 23 2008, 03:36:00 UTC
"Being disabled, to most definitions of such, does have the occasional advantage." that was not said directly to him as Larxene headed off after another Frisbee.

Run from the charging ferret!!!

...oh. Wait.

This would be the point that a ninja figured ferrets were almost Frisbee shaped.

So. Very. Awkward. This is why he's a Mid-Childan mage, ranged combat all the way.

"Waugh!That's not a toy! Leggo!"

Well, he's airborne again at least. He pulls himself upright and square in midair.

"Let me try that again, but better this time."

Re: Frisbee harmitwithspark September 23 2008, 04:03:26 UTC
At least the Ninja hadn't squeezed, or pulled, or any number of actions that could truly harm a ferret? She'd just...scooped and tossed!

He had his choice of three different Frisbees headed almost right for him now.

Well...two after a dancer somersaulted up to snatch one.

There's more than one way this could go. Yunno could escalate and start throwing Binds around, or he could do this the hard way, and grab at the nearest one to toss it back against the current course...

Yunno goes for the hard way.

Grab, flip, spin - just a little. Toss!

And move on.
