Roller Derby, Danger Shop, Monday afternoon after classes

The Danger Shop had been set up to look like a roller rink and there were plenty of pairs of roller skates in various sizes and even more safety gear waiting for everyone when they showed up.

"Hey everyone," Zeela said, from where she was pulling on a pair of skates. She was already wearing a helmet, padding over her knees and shoulders, and a pair of gloves over her normal clothes--which, unlike her sisters, involved casual pants and tops. No fancy dresses or froufrou for her.

Which probably explained why she was the head of the roller derby club and they weren't.

"Sorry to disappoint, but we're not making costumes or coming up with cute names today," she explained. "That part is fun, but it's not the most important part of roller derby. We have to get good enough to earn the personas and the costumes! Right now, we're not a roller derby team--we're a bunch of high school kids with roller skates on." She gestured to the piles of gear. "So, today, we suit up--Mr. S. insisted we all wear safety stuff before he would even make the magic room work--and we start learning the rules and learning to be a team."

But without all the trust falls and stuff. That was more teamwork than Zeela was prepared to handle. "Also, we should probably do intros and everything. This school likes that."

[Open for interested folks who might not had made the club fair, too!]

Raven nodded into the floor. "I'm a convert," she said. "Though I'm wondering now if there's enough of it."

"Full body padded suits," Raven suggested. "For tripping over each other."

"Maybe that's what the audience is for?"

How many people were supposed to get banged up in this game?
