"Blitzball team roster's posted over at the pool.  Everybody who tried out made it.  Norway, don't forget what I said the other day.  And Zidane, Garnet, Chouno, and Touma - you guys are on the team too, so you better start showin' up for practice after school.  In fact, we're gonna have a team meeting this weekend to talk about a couple things."

[For anyone who goes to check, the roster is indeed up.  Here are the names listed:

Crowe
Seychelles
Norway
Pamela
Shiki
Zuko
Sowa
Chouno
Zidane
Garnet
Touma]

[Action, on Saturday afternoon at the school's pool. Speeches and such for the team.]

"Okay, here's the deal.  We got 11 people for this thing now.  A full blitz team has 6 people on it - three on offense, two on defense, and a goalie.  With me playin', there's enough for two full teams.  First time ever.  So we're gonna have an exhibition match after a few weeks of fall training.  Everybody figure out what positions you wanna play and start practicing with each other.  I'll fill in wherever - I've done all this before anyway."

[Glances around at the assembled students and grins.]

"Anybody who doesn't know the rules or how to play, ask Crowe or Seychelles.  They've been around the longest.  (OOC: The mun's tired of typing it all up, so assume this convo occurs for expediency's sake.)  But I wanna add just one more rule.  This is more for off the field.  You're teammates now, so I'm expectin' you all to watch each others' backs.  There's some sick bastards runnin' around this town, and it's only gettin' worse by the day.  If one person gets hurt, the whole team suffers for it.  So... keep each other safe.  And I'll fight like hell for that same reason, too.  Somebody fucks with one of us, they fuck with all of us.  That's how it's gonna be around here.  Anybody got a problem with that, speak up now."

I haven't heard of them.

Conchita's this red-haired lady who talks about food a lot and tries to sound like she's a princess or some shit, and Mukuro's this weird kid with purple hair and an annoying smile who's always goin' on about murdering people. Pretty hard to miss.

There's a chance I may have seen them when I was here before.

...But are you really willing to fight for someone who doesn't remember a thing? _{[Skeptical? Yup.]}

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Yup. That's what bein' a team means.

[bornwithskison.livejournal.com]

...This is going to take some getting used to. The idea of this, I mean.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

What? People willing to fight for you?

[bornwithskison.livejournal.com]

As a nation or as a person?

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Person. I don't understand the whole nation thing anyway.

[bornwithskison.livejournal.com]

In that case, I don't think I really know anyone willing to protect me outside of my family.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Well, now ya got me. And the rest of the team.
