2nd Sphere - Keeping Sane

[itsmystorynow]

[Thrust into a new situation, Yuna is doing her best to keep a handle on things. She's decided to devote the afternoon to practicing her Blitz techniques in the swimming pool in front of her and Jecht's house. Passerbys will see her either timing herself and trying for longer breath-hold times, kicking balls from the pool at a target tacked to a

[Yuna doesn't notice Jecht just yet, but he walks out just in time to see her doing a simple flip and turn to kick the ball out of the water, hitting the left side of the target]

[Grins, and claps when she comes up.]

"Not bad."

[Yuna glances over and smiles at Jecht, swimming over to lean on the rim of the pool]

Thanks, I thought I'd get some practice in since I can't summon anymore and all my dresspheres are gone.

[She looks a little sad but perks up quickly enough]

I've been able to hold my breath for a whole quarter only recently. I'm trying to do a bit better.

**F.F. recognizes this girl. She arrived at the baseball field yesterday.**

You are from yesterday. Is this practice for Blitzball?

[Yuna kicks the ball from the pool to hit the target. She glances up and wades over the rim of the pool, leaning over the edge]

Well, I was doing a little practice on my own. Sir Jecht is the one who runs the practices for the teams he's set up at the highschool.

[She holds up another ball floating in the pool and tosses it over]

This is a blitzball.

[It's a standard ball, blue and white, bumpy and ridged and an odd weight to it]

[human_pretender]

**F.F. gets a fell for the ball, exploring it's shape, and weight.**

This ball is very different from a baseball. Baseball is the only sport I have played so far.

How do you play this sport? **If Yuna doesn't mind, F.F. will totally ignore taking the clothes and start to enter the pool.**

Yay video game physics

[Yuna doesn't seem to mind, blitz uniforms are made for aquadynamics but it's not unheard of for the people of Spira to play in normal clothes either.]

Like I said, it's played underwater, so you need to learn to hold your breath for a long time. I can hold it for 5 minutes at a time right now. Most players can handle 10. We only have a small pool here so I was practicing that and goal kicks. You keep the ball in your hands as you swim but can use it to attack other players. Other players will try to block and grapple with you too.
