Phys Ed: Week 6, Period 2 (Fri. 10/10)

Meeting in the Danger Shop, the class would possibly be surprised by old, sketchy bowling alley before them. Lucky for students, the concessions (while completely not real due to Danger Shopness) were open and free to all.

"Today you bowl. I've been told this is a time-honored Earth tradition involving beer, one-on-one combat, and broken fingers. For non-Earthlings, it's easy enough. Pick up the ball and toss it down the lane hitting all the pins." As Ronon spoke, he demonstrated, failing to use the finger holes in the ball as he sent it barreling down the lane, managing a strike for his trouble. "You break a finger, see Hannibal. No hitting people with the bowling ball unless it's necessary." He was kidding, sort of, but he said nothing about not hitting people with pins.

"Dress out and meet on the lanes."

Sokka blinked at her. "No, see, I see what you're doing. You're trying to appeal to my manly manliness in order to make me take the heavy ball. Sorry, but no. THIS man is gonna find the right balls to play with!"

He went looking for one with a lower number on it.

Turtle looked...vaguely impressed. "Secure enough in your manliness to not object to playing with other balls, huh?" she remarked.

No, she had no idea what she was saying there.

"YES!" Sokka insisted, picking up a ball and heading toward the lane. "...NO!!! Not like that! Not dirty!!!"

He probably should have stopped throwing the ball when he started flailing, because now it was in the gutter and he had a big, fat 0 on the scoreboard.

Turtle...was going to take that, although she turned a pretty vibrant pink once she realized what the flailing was about.

"I didn't mean it like that," she corrected quietly.

"Neither did I!" Sokka insisted.

His second throw was better -- it knocked over four pins. Sokka stared at the lane, momentarily distracted from the discussion of balls. "That didn't roll right," he mused. "Is there grease or something on the floor???"

"Something like that, yeah," Turtle nodded. "That's why you have to wear the special shoes."

"It doesn't explain why the shoes are so ugly."

"So that you don't steal them," Turtle said, simply, shrugging slightly as she stepped up to bowl her own first round. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't the greatest either, hugging the gutter until managing to knock over two pins.

Sokka dutifully clapped at her performance. "I wonder if anyone's thought to make bowling shoes that LOOK GOOD," he mused. "You could probably make some good money off of those."

Turtle was about to argue that then people would steal them, but her mouth shut as she realized that, hello, Sokka was actually right.

"That's...not a bad idea. I wonder if YA this semester might be interested in that as our project..."

She bowled again, this time a little better, knocking over a whole three more.

"Not bad!" Sokka told her. "You've got more points than me!"

Then he stepped up to the line and bowled a 7-10 split.

"Oh, now how is THAT fair???"
