Basketball Practice, Sunday Morning, Gym

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Yes, more than two weeks passed between the game and the next practice session for the basketball team. No, Tyler doesn't want to explain why. He had handwavily sent out an email scheduling today's session and asking when people wanted to practice going forward; that should be enough.

He turned on a mix tape, mostly Rage Against the Machine and Linkin Park, loudly enough to make the floor around it shake from the bass, and started working on his free throws.

[OOC: Expect extreme SP from me from about 1:30 p.m. EST or so until much later. And please answer the survey if you haven't yet.]

Tyler plunks down on a mat and starts racing through sit-ups.

Coach Bluth, 7/2

The coach is here. And half asleep. Who organizes practice on a Sunday morning?

OOC, Basketball, 7/2

I feel obligated to point out that Tyler's taste in music is his own.

Anders went through the shorter of his Pyramid warmup routines and then went through a quick series of line sprints on the court.

Conner looked over from a nearby mat, where he was doing some stretching and sit-ups of his own. "Tyler! Sleeping any better without the ghost?"

Anders wasn't under any illusions about his ball-handling skills, so he went for the basics and dribbled a ball while doing laps around the court.

Tyler blinked. "Yeah," he said. "That's about all I did yesterday, sleep. I guess the radio said he was gone, huh?"

Conner opted for the Pure Shooter (http://www.degerstrom.com/basketball/drills/shooting/748/) drill and just started going after the basket. He missed about two thirds of the shots he attempted, so hitting that total of 100 was going to take a while.

"There was a demon sending the ghosts out," Conner explained. "But he's taken care of now, so everybody should be okay."

He gave Tyler an appraising look. "Yeah, you definitely look more rested."

"I don't usually sleep much," Tyler half-explained, and drew a deep breath.

"Any idea why the demon picked me?"

Re: Chat & Warm Up, 7/2

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"That I don't know," Conner admitted. "There was something about it feeding on negative emotions, so I guess it picked people it thought would feed it a lot of that? Although I'm not sure how it would have known that."

River showed up to stare at Tyler observe the game. She didn't find basketball that exciting, but the music was good, and it quickly became impossible to sit still.

Tyler noticed River dancing, which made him quit dribbling and go over to talk to her. "You like rock?" he asked, smiling.

Re: Chat & Warm Up, 7/2

Tyler nodded slowly. So him even showing up was your fault, he thought.

"It's a demon," he said. "It can probably know whatever it needs to know."

Tyler waved to Zack. "The ghost is gone," he said. "Sorry for the ... thing with the coffee."

River assumed he was referring to the music and nodded happily. "Don't know much about the music here though. But I've listened to CDs at the Empire." She hadn't been able to decide what to buy though, and there was also the problem of not owning a CD player. They had been kind of obsolete in her time.
