Play #1 [Arrival] Don't think I'm in Texas anymore...

[There’s a man, kid really, sprawled out on the snow. He’s got torn blue jeans, an old Panthers Football tee shirt, a worn denim jacket and a pair of cowboy boots on. He sits up with a groan and looks around, raking a head through his long hair.]

Seven!

[He winces then looks confused because he doesn’t have a hangover…in fact he still feels

Someone got fucked up last night...

[commarogue]

Only redeeming thing about this place? Lots of free everything.

[askurself_wwrd]

Hot damn.

...everyone I was with...they okay?

[commarogue]

Asking the wrong person. Sorry.

[askurself_wwrd]

So what do we do here?

Anyone play football?

[commarogue]

You'll have to ask around. Not big on the organized sports deal. Wasn't in school long enough for it to stick.

[askurself_wwrd]

You don't strike me as the cheerleading type.

Ain't a bad thing. I didn't go much 'cept to play ball.

[commarogue]

Yeah. Well, maybe you can get people interested or whatever. Lots of kids here.

[askurself_wwrd]

Yeah? I could teach 'em a thing or two.

You like football?

[He'd never known anyone except Tyra to hate football and even she'd liked watching him play]

[commarogue]

I bet.

Haven't played in awhile. Long time. Still kick your ass, though.

[askurself_wwrd]

Sweetheart, Panthers went to state two out of the three years I was playin'. I got a full ride to college and I don't read so well.

Not that I'd mind tacklin' you.

[commarogue]

I'm guessing that's a good thing?

Sorry Cowboy, only person that does any kind of tackling is me.

[askurself_wwrd]

Oh hell yeah. Means we're the best in our division in the state of Texas. And we take our football real seriously in Texas.

Then I guess I'm playin' receiver.

[commarogue]

Gotcha. Congrats?

Good luck with that.

[askurself_wwrd]

Thanks. We only won once but lot more than most high school teams ever do.

You want to learn sometime I'll hold football camp.

[commarogue]

Sounds like a challenge. What do I get when I school you?
