Cheerleading Tryouts - The Gym, Friday After Classes

[abitlowkey]

Loki was more than a bit excited to start this club up. Because it would grant him power over people. As Student Council did very little to allow him to boss people around other than for dances.

So...

"Greetings, those who wish to become cheerleaders! I am Loki and this is Jessica. We will be judging you today." Judging you so much.

"We may not know the first thing about cheerleading, but it's not like that kept us from restarting the squad in the first place," Jessica said, doing her best to set the bar low. "We also only have one sports team, and I'm not even sure who they play against. But again, not stopping us. Such is the power of cheerleading." She sounded very convinced.

They were a former genocidal villain and the cross-gender clone of Spider-Man. They could do anything. "It is lacrosse. There are sticks," Loki informed her helpfully. "I have learned from Wikipedia, that this involves cheering and gymnastics. So, we ask that you give us an example of both things."

Try it in iambic pentameter. He dared you.

"If you want to use pom-poms for either portion, we found the squad's old equipment and dusted it off, so you don't have to worry about making yourself sneeze in the middle of spelling something," Jessica said. "Unless you're allergic to spelling, in which case what are you even doing in a school?"

"...right." Loki was judging your quips in preparation of the potential cheerleaders, Jessica. "So, we hope to see your best. And if you did not sign up at the club fair, we are still taking all those who are interested."

"... This is apparently a terrible idea, but I have to ask, what kind of cheers would you make up?" Jessica asked, preparing herself for the worst.

"We're literally cheering on a sport that's name translates to 'the stick,'" Sparkle mused, smirking. "There is so much innuendo in that alone. Guys out on the field, sweating and jumping on one another. You know, it used to be a combat exercise? Kind of like a three-day spiritual sports-orgy played by hundreds of guys all at once."

And you better believe that Sparkle's cheer would have reflected that.

"... Either that, or it would've been like a three minute cheer about how lacrosse is Canada's real national sport, suck it America."

Sparkle was so charming.

"You know a lot more about lacrosse than I do," Jessica said. "And is that true about Canada? I always assumed it was hockey. Maybe curling."

"Totally lacrosse," Sparkle confirmed, shrugging. "In the summertime, anyhow. Hockey's the national winter sport. Lacrosse is the first one our government made official and then they decided that it was going to have to share the position after, I dunno, Gretzky or something."

A beat.

"And curling is the one that's just really fun to get drunk to while making 'hurry hard' jokes."

"That actually explains a lot," Jessica said. "Anyway, no, you're right, we're not using any cheers you write. We'd get disbanded quickly."

"Right, then," Sparkle laughed. "We can spare the lacrosse team the history lesson. Anyhow, I do all of my writing while drunk. That's not where my best material comes from or anything."
