I'm tossing this frisbee around, if anyone wants to join me. OR--there's a hacky sack, too. It's Thursday. Let's go nuts.

[Xander might be found in the meadow beside House 19, either kicking the hacky sack around or tossing the disc into the wind and trying to catch it as it flies back. He is determined to be HAPPY AND HAVE FUN, damn it, and to

[ ... why are all the people here so strange. 8| ]

"Hacky sack"?

[Voice]

[steadfastest]

Yeah, hacky sack. You know--it's a sack. And you hack it.

....Okay, it doesn't make a lot of sense. It would be easier just to show you.

[Voice]

[felltohate]

It doesn't.

[ Pause, he must debate this. On one hand, it sounds interesting (HACKING SOMETHING ohoho what, what? it makes sense in Sasuke logic), on the other, it's probably not. Oh, and if it's not then he might run into someone from Koonoha, because they like lame things. ] ... fine. Where are you?

[Voice]

[steadfastest]

I'm at the field right by House 19. I'm the guy who's hacking the sack. Probably the only one. And I didn't mean that to sound dirty.

[Voice->Action]

[felltohate]

Uh. All right.

[ He doesn't get the "hacking the sack" being dirty thing, so uh. Yeah. Maybe it involved dirt or something. Meh, whatever it was, he was about to figure it out.

Why? Because he was outside, leaving the apartment complex! Which leads into/would lead to walking around the houses squinting at them to figure out their numbers. He'll most likely pass House #19 twice before figuring out, yes, it is the one by the field; insert an internal facepalm here and walking over to that shape over there. ]

[Xander, meanwhile, is kicking the small beanbag from sneaker to sneaker with a fair amount of dexterity, although at the sight of the guy coming across the field toward him he loses concentration and it drops.]

Hey--you're the guy who wants to know about hacky sacks, right?

[Action]

[felltohate]

[ ... Hacky Sack is literally dropping a sack on the ground. Well then. ]

... yeah. [ He regrets asking about this, just so everyone knows. ]

[Action]

[steadfastest]

[Xander cheerfully tries to demonstrate.] See? You try to keep the beanbag in the air by kicking it---from foot---to foot---and---okay, that was bad, but here let me try again: foot--to knee--to elbow---to...under those bushes. That was bad too. Okay. Wait--maybe you want to try?

[Action]

[felltohate]

[ Ah, so the point is to keep it off the ground. That was a bit better, he guessed. ] Not really.

[steadfastest]

You came all the way out here to watch? That's not the point of hacky sack at all. [He stoops to retrieve the beanbag.]

[felltohate]

I came to see what it was. Besides, it doesn't seem like there's much of a point to it to begin with. [ Besides the kicking it from "foot to foot" thing, which wasn't a good enough point anyway. ]

[steadfastest]

Fun?

[felltohate]

[ Icon face. WHAT IS THIS FUN OF WHICH YOU SPEAK? ]

[steadfastest]

Did anyone else here just get the feeling that rainbow polka dots suddenly became very ironic? [He raises his hand in agreement with himself before tossing the hacky sack in the general direction of this kid's feet.]

[felltohate]

[ Don't remind him of those abominations, and don't talk about them. He refuses to acknowledge their existence. They ridicule him and, worse than that, mock his clan. Oh, if only he had normal wings; never will he get over the rainbows. 8|

Onomatopoeia/Whoosh! Hey, is something coming at his feet? Sasuke instinctively kicks it away (towards somewhere. Maybe Xander's feet/hands/midsection/forehead/other parts. Maybe a tree, and maybe that same bush from earlier, you decide) before realizing that it's probably that stupid sack. ]

[steadfastest]

Wow. For a rainbow-winged guy you really suck at hacky sack. Try again. [After balancing the beanbag on his left knee, where it landed, he kicks the thing back.]
