Passed it again, huh. I keep losing track... wonder if it's a good thing.

....

Hey, so... does anybody have a particular day - or more than one, I guess - that means something to them? Not their birthday or a holiday or anything like that, I mean a regular, normal day where something important or significant happened to them. Could be good or bad, whatever.


[Zack's in a weird mood today, for... various reasons. He's also lounging in the hammock outside House 50, enjoying it while he can before the cold weather forces him to take it down, so if you happen to be in the area, feel free to bother him that way instead.]

God i hope this is right

Five minutes a half, plus whatever time-outs and standstill and overtime you have. Sometimes games can last up to an hour, but usually they're pretty quick.

[wingenvy]

[...What. But that's- no way. Holy shit, really.] You can hold your breath for that long!?

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

...um, a lot of people can. It's all the moving around that separates the professionals from just regular people.

[wingenvy]

No way! Most people can barely hold their breath for more than a minute!

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

Who? I mean, I'm sure some people aren't that great at it, but it just takes a little training.

[wingenvy]

...Actually, I can't.

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

Oh.

...well, we can train you up! It's easy.

[wingenvy]

Really? I've never tried.

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

Well that's probably why you can't do it!

...I'm Tidus, by the way.

[wingenvy]

Haha, that's right, I never introduced myself! I'm Zack. It's nice to meet you, Tidus!

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

Yup.

Anyway it's kind of cold now anyhow...I dunno if we should train if we're all gonna get frostbite.

[wingenvy]

I'd be more worried about you getting it than me, to be honest. I'm sorta built like a tank, immunity-wise.

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well maybe I can coach you while you practice? If you're bored enough, anyway.

[wingenvy]

That'd be pretty cool! I think it would be a lot of fun!

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

Okay! Thennnn we'll start your training whenever I get settled into this place. I still got some stuff I need to finish.

[wingenvy]

Sure thing, man! Just tell me when you're free and I'll be there. I bet it'll be great!

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

It will be. Blitzball's always great.

[wingenvy]

Do you have a blitzball here, then?

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

[...BLANK. Uhhhhhhh.]

[wingenvy]

I'll take that as a no.

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

[Sheepishly.] Probably need one of those, huh?

Well, I'll check the stores; we gotta do the breath and swim training first anyhow, so we have a little time.

[wingenvy]

That's fine with me. Maybe we'll get lucky and the Malnosso will toss one our way before the weather warms up.

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

Hey, yeah! The season opens up in spring and the tournaments are in the summer, so we could even practice according to schedule. [Some familiarity would be SO very nice.]

[wingenvy]

Maybe if you got enough people together you could teach some sort of 'holding your breath' crash course!

[dreamblitzer.livejournal.com]

Hey yeah, I could make a team! ...well, not that we have a stadium to play in, but it would still be something to do.
