002 Play [Video || Action]

[dillonrockstar]

[Tim is out in the park with a football. He's rigged up an old tire to swing from a tree limb and he's hammering the football through the tire. He jogs out to get the football then returns to do it again. Throwing passes aren't really his thing but catching passes takes more than one person. He actually looks fairly thoughtful for a change rather than confused. ]

Anybody wanna play catch or want to learn?

Sure, count me in. I can be there in ten.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah? [He sounds a little surprised but very pleased.]
Cool. I'll be here.

[Ten minutes later, Derek is there in a pair of sweatpants and a tank. He offers a small grin and a nod to Tim.]

Hey. I'm Derek. Think I've seen you around.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah. You're at the youth center a lot, right?

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I run it. Name's Derek. [He offers Tim a hand in greeting.] You.

[punchedhitler]

I'll play. I'm Steve.

[Another person to play makes Tim grin.]

Cool. I'm Tim.

[He'd been afraid that here, there wouldn't be anyone who liked football.]

[punchedhitler]

Have you been here long, Tim?

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

Nah, just a few days. You?

[He lightly tosses the football to Steve. It's not a real pass, just sort of a toss up.]

[shall-yield-us.livejournal.com]

And what is our prey?

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

[Have a confused look.]

Man, I'm just talkin' about playin' football.

[shall-yield-us.livejournal.com]

You'll roll and tumble and dirty and possibly wound... to catch a ball.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

[Huge grin]

Yup. Don't forget the part where you keep the other team from catchin' the ball.

[lookjustlike]

It's been a long time since I've gotten to play football.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

Come on out and play.

[lookjustlike]

All right, I'll come find you. My name's Teddy.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

I'm Tim. I'm out near the park. Should be pretty easy to find me.

[charring]

I'll play. Why not?

[That gets an amused smirk from Tim. Girls that play football, real football? It's amusing but hey, he's game. Charlie's hot.]

Alright then. [And she gets a little grin] I'm Tim.

[charring]

[..that's not fair. That was a very nice grin. How is she supposed to be indifferent to most people if some of them are going to grin like that?]

Charlie. Where can I find you? I don't get out enough to recognize quite where you are.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

At the park, down near them gardens [He means Xanadu, Charlie.]

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

I do not think that I would like to play, but perhaps you could tell me more about the game.

Re: [ backdated ]

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sure. I can do that. You wanna come here to the park or just [He gestures to the device with the football.]

[likeboudica.livejournal.com]

[ She thinks about that for a moment, before smiling. ] I think I will come to the park. That should be rather more authentic, I believe.

[dillonrockstar.livejournal.com]

[She gets a lopsided grin in return.] I'll look for you.
