Audio Post

[Voices carry up from the street several stories below, faint but clear, as if heard through an open window.]

Ow! Where in the world ... ?

[Preceding each voice is a soft whoosh of air ... ]

Holy crap!

[ ... and the hollow thunk of a cheap rubber ball striking a flesh-and-blood target.]

Ack![None of the balls seem to be missing

Pity the sun's not down yet. It sounds like many are having fun.

[cal_sitter]

Why don't you come over once it's dark?

[missesthestars]

Sounds like fun. Shall I bring anything?

[cal_sitter]

You wouldn't by chance have any spare dodgeballs lying around?

[captainshort]

That's not very nice.

[cal_sitter]

It's a way to pass the time.

[captainshort]

As long as someone's having fun.

[cal_sitter]

You're not?

There are no rules posted.

Nobody's really keeping score, either.

You don't really keep score in dodgeball.

That's cheating. Don't be a dick.

There is no 'higher ground' to take in dodgeball. It's like one of the tiny fine-print rules, under 'no crotch shots.'

Is that a request, Dean?

[shutupsammy]

No. I'd like to request no permanent brain damage, actually.

[cal_sitter]

I think I can manage that.
