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

[Basketball do want.]

Hey! There's basketball tryouts here, right?

Re: B

[olympicswimmer]

Uh, yeah. For the boys' team, though. I'm sorry, seriously.

[timidbraveheart]

[HEARTBROKEN]

But the sign didn't say that!

[olympicswimmer]

I forgot.

Where are you from, anyway?

[just dropping by to say hi]

You know, if you'd asked, I could have made you some pretty fabulous posters. Glitter might or might not have been involved.

[olympicswimmer]

Is glitter even invented?

[sssssnakeeyes]

Marker sparkles, then. Maybe a drawing of beefy 50's jocks shooting hoops.

[olympicswimmer]

I don't really fit the beefy 50s jock thing.

Hey, Rachel, want to be a fake cheerleader?

[One of the smallest of the freshmen will be watching you put those up. Any independent activity here is noteworthy, and she's no stranger to coded signals. When she's judged she won't startle you by asking:]

Those sound quite good.

[olympicswimmer]

Yeah, for microwave breakfasts, they could be worse.

[grand_theft_moe]

I'd like to try them. Is it hard to find them in this town? [She's just kindof improvising, trying to figure out if this is a real cipher or just someone's love of having breakfast food at odd times.]

[Peeking in.]

What's this about sausage and pancakes?

[olympicswimmer]

They have them in the fridge aisle.

[white_pretear]

They aren't here?

[olympicswimmer]

They're not exactly fifties style.

[Luna has been staring at the wall for quite some time before Percy has shown up. Muggle/non-magical school has taken some getting used to.

She blinks, slowly, after she realizes that there is something hanging up now]

That sounds like a very curious thing to be eating.

Re: A

[olympicswimmer]

Pretty good though.

Re: A

[off_beet]

I will have to try them sometime then.

[she tilts her head and stares at the poster more]

Are they actually made of Sasusnorks? I hear those can be rather foul tempered.

Re: A

[olympicswimmer]

Are you for real?
