"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

I can take care of whoever...if they need it.

[child_abuser]

"Good. That's what I like to hear. Welcome to the team officially, then."

[Grins and extends his hand for a shake.]

[artwithknives]

Thanks.

[Jecht's got a good strong grip on him, and he's all smiles as he shakes Shiki's hand.]

"Practice is every day after school. If ya miss without a good excuse - I'm talkin', like, bein' dead during practice here - I'll work you twice as hard the next day."

[He's here. And just sort of making a 'I don't have time for this shit' face.]

[child_abuser]

[Jecht more or less ignores the attitude and just keeps right on going with his blitz spiel. He's doing Chouno's not!mom a favor by dragging him out here, after all.]

[Pause.]

What is the hardest position to play?

[child_abuser]

...Probably center. You'd be responsible for scorin' most of the goals, so you gotta be fast enough to move the ball, strong enough to kick it past the goalie, and tough enough to take a few lumps when the other team's defense tries to tackle you.

[Checking out the roster. Congrats, Jecht, you have a ghost on your team. What sort of horrors have you unleashed upon this world.]

[child_abuser]

Congrats, kid. But the hard part starts now. You gonna be ready for it?

[no_bullying]

Hard part?

[child_abuser]

Yeah. Showin' up to practice every day, swimmin' laps, that kinda stuff.

[child_abuser]

[Gives a wave.]

"Yo."

[child_abuser]

Good. You and Garnet can be on the same team, then.

*Touma listens to the speech apathetically. You can tell he's not getting into this at all.*

[child_abuser]

[Whatever. At least he actually showed up.]

"Yo. You Touma?"

[illusionkiller]

That's me.

[child_abuser]

You got a problem with any of this?
