Fandom High Lacrosse Club, The Danger Shop, Tuesday After Classes

[nomoresportscars]

The Danger Shop was once again a lacrosse field, with empty stands on both sides. And Jackson was standing in the middle of it, in full lacrosse gear. Except for the helmet, which he was holding by his side. There was also a bunch of gear in a pile behind him.

Once it looked like everyone had shown up who was going to, he started to talk. "On the off chance that you don't know, I'm Jackson Whittemore, former captain of the Beacon Hills High lacrosse team which is currently heading for another state championship." And he was proud of that, even if he didn't really play for them anymore. "And this is the Fandom High Lacrosse Club." A slightly less proud moment for him, but whatever. "We're gonna start easy. Most of you know each other, but we'll still have a round of introductions. State your name, your year, and your level of familiarity with the great sport that is lacrosse. Or if you were already here last year, something you learned about lacrosse in the fall."

Simple, right? He nodded back towards the sticks and the balls behind him. "Afterwards, we'll keep it easy and you can just get warmed up by practicing passes. But first, introductions." He pointed at a random club member. "You. Start."

[Again, didn't sign up? No problem. Either handwave or just show up randomly! This is the one time in all of creation where Jackson just accepts people into his life.]

Wonder how much Jackson's going to mess up Danger Shop settings this term...

If last semester was any indication, Korra was going to guess 'a lot'.

Kate hadn't played a team sport (superheroing didn't actually count) for a few years. This should be interesting.

Mercy was here. Must be a glutton for punishment.

Loki enjoyed making Jackson mad far too much to stop coming to lacrosse, thank you very much.

And Thor was the sponsor.

So...

Introduce Yourself [FHLC 01/22]

"State your name, your year, and your level of familiarity with the great sport that is lacrosse. Or if you were already here last year, something you learned about lacrosse in the fall."

"Korra, junior, I started last semester, and I've learnt that lacrosse players tend to be grumpy."

No, Korra, that was just Jackson.

Re: Introduce Yourself [FHLC 01/22]

[nomoresportscars]

Jackson didn't look too taken with this answer. (You could have even said he looked a little bit grumpy! Yes.)

"I have no idea what you're talking about." NO IDEA. "Is that all?"

Re: Introduce Yourself [FHLC 01/22]

"Ace! Junior. Here last year." Things she'd learned. Um. "Never pass to Greenberg?"

Re: Introduce Yourself [FHLC 01/22]

[nomoresportscars]

Jackson was going to allow that.

"Less of a problem here ––" Except when/if he programmed Greenberg into the simulations. "–– but sure."

"Kate Bishop, junior," she said. "And I've seen lacrosse played before."

Re: Introduce Yourself [FHLC 01/22]

[nomoresportscars]

"It's a start." Jackson had learned he couldn't be too picky with his players here a while ago. She'd seen it played, and she knew field hockey. She was good to go. "Welcome to the team, Kate."

For a given value of 'team'.

"I'm Stiles, and I'm a junior," Stiles said. "And last fall I learned that lacrosse teams really benefit from having co-captains. We should give Scott a call."

Stiles, don't taunt the evil lizard boy.

Jackson was rolling his eyes so hard at that. "Funny," he said, with the exact opposite meaning. "But if you'd like to swap places with him, at least we'd have someone with something to show for his years of coming to practice."

Even if it was through being a cheater of a werewolf.

"Mercy, junior, and I was here last time. Um... you should make sure you're alert on the field so you're ready for anything."

Re: Introduce Yourself [FHLC 01/22]

[nomoresportscars]

"Even Greenberg screwing everything up," Jackson nodded. "Good. Welcome back."

Re: Introduce Yourself [FHLC 01/22]

"I am Loki of Asgard, a sophomore by the estimation of this school and I quite enjoy lacrosse." A beat. "Especially hitting people with a stick."

"Ulrik, I'm a senior, and following a face-off, a player cannot travel past the restraining lines until the ball has done so," he recited.

Someone had made a rather thorough study of the rules, yes.

Practice Passes [FHLC 01/22]

[nomoresportscars]

And listen to Jackson barking orders when you get it wrong.

Re: Practice Passes [FHLC 01/22]

[hawkeye-too.livejournal.com]

Sure, she could try this. Kate picked up a stick and a ball to try that 'bouncing the ball in the pocket' thing lacrosse players seemed to do.

Talk to Jackson [FHLC 01/22]

[nomoresportscars]

He's actually looking at home here. And smug. It's the same thing.

Talk to Thor [FHLC 01/22]

[nomoresportscars]

Roped in to oversee sports for another term, what a hardship.

Re: Talk to Thor [FHLC 01/22]

[toteshammered.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. Couldn't you tell how completely hard done by Thor was, having to be here in his advisory capacity?

OOC [FHLC 01/22]

[nomoresportscars]

Luuuuunch.

This post is making me wish for summer and family lacrosse games where my 10 year old cousin completely destroys me!
