Okay. Someone has to be willing to play basketball with me today. It can be superpowered basketball if you want.

So does that mean I can fly?

[lookjustlike]

Yes, but no magicking the ball into the hoop.

[inmyothertights]

Wait so what other restrictions are on me?

[lookjustlike]

I don't know, I didn't really think the whole 'superpowered basketball' thing through.

[inmyothertights]

You need to make the rules.

[lookjustlike]

Or we could just play Rapunzel's game. It doesn't have rules, just balloons.

[inmyothertights]

What does one do with the balloons?

[lookjustlike]

Pop them with stuff. Obviously.

[inmyothertights]

Like lightning?

[lookjustlike]

Considering the lack of actual rules, that would probably be a yes.

[inmyothertights]

Excellent.

Superpowered?

[lookjustlike]

Well some people have unfair advantages when it comes to speed and strength, so I'm trying to think of a way that people could use stuff like that but have it still be fair even when the players have different powers.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Ah, I think i understand. But how would the game work with powers?

[lookjustlike]

I...honestly got kind of stuck on the actual rules.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

I can imagine that would be a challenge.

Superpowered basketball?

[lookjustlike]

Like...everyone flies, or one person on each team has to have the equivalent power or something. I can fly, and, well, other some other stuff, so that's why I thought of it.

[royal-flushed.livejournal.com]

You can fly? That's so cool!

[lookjustlike]

Actually, I can shapeshift, and I can use that to grow wings.

[royal-flushed.livejournal.com]

Shapeshift? Are you a superhero? [He might sound a little like a fanboy already.]

[lookjustlike]

Yeah, actually. Fairly new to it, but my friends and I have a team.

[royal-flushed.livejournal.com]

Woooow. [Says the boy who has plenty of his own powers but still thinks of himself as average.] What's your team's name? [He bets it's something cool sounding!]

[lookjustlike]

The Young Avengers. There's a group called the Avengers, who are not as young. We're modeled on them.

[royal-flushed.livejournal.com]

That's a good name. In a few years will they call them the Old Avengers when you upgrade?

[lookjustlike]

Somehow I don't think so.

[royal-flushed.livejournal.com]

If you have a superpowered basketball game with flying can I come watch? I don't think I could really play though.

[umathematic.livejournal.com]

No. There's nobody.

[lookjustlike]

It's a curse. It's March. There has to be someone.

[umathematic.livejournal.com]

Are you seriously that desperate?

[lookjustlike]

Months without high school means months without sports. I mean, it's not that big a deal but I was good and I miss it.

[umathematic.livejournal.com]

So buy a trashcan and ball up some paper.

I don't mock your hobbies. Well, ok, I don't know what they are, but still.
