Lock down: +1 volatile, +1 forward from Control Play (Rolled: 2d6+2. Rolls: 6, 2. Total: 10)
-
I hold off and let them get to the ball first. I watch the possibilities narrow to the actual and by the time Zeke has the ball in hand I'm already on my way to him, on the downward arc from the second grav pad. Leading with a knee. There's a fain…

Guess I don't get to smash Zekey just yet. On the plus side, the team put together a textbook counter-attack. My movement was a little off, maybe. Zeke had a second to see me coming. Fear in his eyes. He dumped the ball off in a panic - directly to…

Control Play (+Cold (2), +Pax (1)) (Rolled: 2d6+3. Rolls: 3, 4. Total: 10)

Coach wants us to play defensive, and I can live with that. You don't need the ball to control the play. I drop off Ezekiel and coordinate my coverage with Rys to channel the play the right way, out to one side. Don't press too hard. Don't over-co…

"OK, if you want," I say to Ezekiel, "but be careful what you wish for. She has claws." And I point to the scratch mark Ourania gave me, which you can just about make out now if you know where you're looking.

I turn a little, to face him directly. "I'm just trying to tell you what's what, man." I look over the crowd. Tabitha's up in the stands already. Ashlee. That witch Ourania. Nadja - she's trying to catch my eye but I keep moving my head so it's l…

I kind of turn alongside Zekey so that we're walking side by side. I put a brotherly arm around his shoulders. "That sucks, man. I mean, you're the captain, you're supposed to be in charge on the court. And he's not even here, he can't read the at…
-
I walk over to Jace. Could he keep playing? Maybe. No fight in his eyes though. "It's OK, Jace. Go get that seen to." I jog over the centre to talk to Ezekiel. Not private. Loud enough for everyone to hear. "Hey Zekie, one of your cheating lizard…

Control Play (+Cold, +Pax): (Rolled: 2d6+2. Rolls: 3, 1. Total: 6)

So we get the ball onto the square a few times, close the gap. And Zola is hassling Gams like all the time, and Rys has left his foot in on a few tasty challenges. Pretty sure Zeke had a couple of teeth rattle loose in that last one. The Power are k…

I meet Ezekiel's look with a placid gaze of my limpid grey eyes. I smile my most angelic smile. "Ezekiel, you worry too much." I can feel his nervousness, and it's because we both feel the same thing in the air: short fuses, raised hackles. I ca…
-
What, is she not even gonna read the- ? Oh, never mind. I shrug to Ashlee and jog back over to the team. Pax looks nervous. "Pax, you zeng?" I don't wait for an answer. "Yeah you are. Bend over more when you cross the grav pads. You're doing go…
-
I get up, slowly. And make my way over to the bench. I need the breathing time. "If you have an alt." We have Zola and that's all. "Guess you're on, huh." Zola looks ready to go. She always does. "Get free, get in the D, you know. Try not to mai…

Stomm. Now Tabitha's gone and we're a player down. The sporting thing to do now is to wait for the Power to bring on a substitute for Gen Yu. But the ref hasn't stopped play and it's the Power, so drokk them. The ball is bouncing forlornly away…
-
I shake my arms and legs out, ready to go again. I look at the Power players one by one, assess them. This is the moment where the possibilities are the greatest. Once all the bodies are in motion, the possible diminishes. Momentum will carry a mo…
-
Rys had moved to up to overload the left wing and Gen Yu didn't put much pressure on him even when she caught up. Say what you will about Zola's build-up play but she's deadly from a yard out. So when Rys crossed to her in space in the D, well, it w…

Lead the Line +1 Hot +1 for Pax (subtract 1 if not applicable) (Rolled: 2d6+2. Rolls: 5, 3. Total: 10)
-
Why mess with a winning formula? We line up roughly the same. If Gen Yu wants to be second to the ball, great. I see some of the remote cameras tracking me as I pace near the halfway line. I try to picture what they're seeing at the other end. Nam…
-
Ezekiel gets nothing back from me, I just head over to my starting position. I don't talk to the opposition - can't, really - when I'm in the zone like this. Deep breaths. My gaze sweeps across the kids watching. I don't see any of them. I lock e…
-
Tabitha's timing is perfect. Spin on the pass banks it at an angle up into my hands at waist height. It arrives just before Ezekiel does. He got too close. With one step I push my side against his. With another I've rolled over him. Pax is free on …

Lead the Line +hot, +Pax (Rolled: 2d6+2 . Rolls: 5, 6. Total: 13)

I've got my eyes on Tabitha, moving to give her the option to pass. A glance left tells me Ezekiel is closing. Any closer and I'll be able to turn him easily. "Not now, head-voice. I'm busy." Hope no one watching can read lips.

Lead the Line: +1 Hot +1 from Pax (Rolled: 2d6+2. Rolls: 2, 4. Total: 8) (+1 xp, to 4 - Hot highlighted)

I do what I'm here to do - lead the line. I go forward to the ball and change direction at the last moment, leaping long and low over the grav plates. Gen Yu's eyes follow me when she should be keeping them on the ball. Doesn't matter who gets the…
-
I move up close to the centre launcher, Zola not far from me. I turn to face the others, with my back to the Power. Everything in my field of vision seems so clear. I am filled with a cold serenity. "Pax -- Pellit. And remember, stay low and follo…

I see Ashlee talking to Tabitha by the wall. Why is she in the crowd? When she goes to sit back down I try to catch her eye, then indicate the bench with my thumb and a shrug, like "why aren't you there?" Not hostile, just puzzled. Oh hey, maybe …
