• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] runs up, panting. Her hair is unbound and dissheveled, and her bathing suit is torn and slightly spattered with some kind of bluish fluid.

• Kraken (~a@pc1034.wilm.man.ac.uk) has joined channel # exaltedbeachvolleyball

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> "Aah! I'm so sorry I'm late! Have you started without me already?"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] blinks in surprise. "[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]], whatever happened to you?"

• Bog_Mod is now known as [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> "Some kind of horrid sea monster rose up out of the ocean and attacked me on my way here." She hefts her sword. "I was able to defeat it, but I fear it left me something of a mess!!"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] glances down at herself.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] notices that her suit is torn.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] notices too from his seat beside the playing area.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> "Aah!"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] picks at the torn midriff of her suit. The rip goes almost all the way across her belly.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] chews her lip in concern. "Well.. I'm glad you seem to be all right.. Are you up for playing?"

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> "Picking at it just makes it worse."

• Kraken idly ponders he should change nicks fast. being a tentacled monster cannot be healthy with attractive maidens in swimsuits about...

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] smiles

• Kraken is now known as [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> "It's a good thing that c;aw didn't go any deeper."

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] sighs, and takes out her sword.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] (Jydan@dsc06-wai-dc-207-93-155-138.rasserver.net) has joined channel # exaltedbeachvolleyball

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] slices off the damaged part of her suit, blushing furiously all the while.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] is now wearing shorts over a bikini (of sorts).

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] sheathes her sword and flicks the last drops of monster-ichor from her (now drastically reduced) swimsuit.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] can't help but smile a little and nods as the other two players arrive on scene.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> "All right, I'm ready!" Despite her can-do attitude, she is obviously quite embarrassed to be wearing such an uncharacteristically revealing outfit.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] shows up! Wearing a skirt bikini!

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] begins to stretch her arms self-consciously, wanting to prepare for a night of good serves.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]> serves=saves

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] setes her weapon aside and runs through some quick warm-up stretches. She looks like she's worried her "bikini" is about to fall off; she keeps tugging the top's hem down... and then back up, when she notices what it does to the upper portion of the garment.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> "Today Shego and Aise couldn't make it, but my good friend [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] has been kind enough to come down from the life of a married man and join us for a game.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> "

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] arrives wearing a long cloak of white feathers, some golden speedo's and a bead necklace, a present from his wife, slipping the cloak off as he steps onto the court, stretching

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] blinks at [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]].

• Kasumi is now known as Jhameren

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] looks at [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] for a moment, and then averts her eyes uncomfortably. She's not used to seeing older men dressed so immodestly.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> [could Jydan and Kraken please quickly put their characters up here (Link: http://www.lensmen.net/wiki/exalted.pl?[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball | exaltedbeachvolleyball]ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/League)http://www.lensmen.net/wiki/exalted.pl?[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball | exaltedbeachvolleyball]ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/League ]

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] smiles, and begins streching, going through some strange martial arts technique.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]> ((Uhmmm... Just list the name?)

<Jhameren> * A scruffy looking gentleman, unshaven, wearing shorts and a tourists' floral shirt, and with long silvery hair tied back away from what after the first look is an extremely handsome face, dumps a picnic basket and a beautifully worked orichalcum Reaver Daiklaive in the sand, before sitting.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] isnt old damnit! just she was rather insistant we were already married, see?

<Jhameren> "You better damn well win, Matsu, I've got money on you."

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] blinks at the scruffy man.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] thinks all the guys here are app 4+...

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> (it's not "scruffy" it's "roguishly handsome"!)

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]> (([[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] isn't really into guys, okay? So it's scruffy.))

• Jhameren flips open the picnic basket, which is mostly filled with bottles, and removes some very fine liquor, muttering under his breath. "If that goddamn Dawn can't beat a bunch of little girls and that freaky lunar..."

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] Caste Mark is glowing faintly. She's a Dawn, too!

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]> Jha? A very sharp caligraphy brush breaks your bottle of liquor. ^_^

<Jhameren> Actually, the Daiklaive spins out of the sand and deflects the brush. He's fast ^_^

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] sticks out her tongue.

<Jhameren> ...but if you try perfect attacks...well, he has more bottles :)

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]> Heh. MA. No perfect attacks.

<Jhameren> "Nice try, but it's rude to assault spectators when they're just trying to get quietly drunk and gamble on their friends. Back to your game, missy."

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] rolls his eyes, and maintains the inflappable cool of the ref. "So how should we choose teams today? Random selection?"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] eyes the big, sweaty men uncomfortably.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] looks at [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]. She doesn't want to be on a team with [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]], either, especially in her current state.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] edges towards [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]].

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> "Random selection it is then."

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> "We'll play together."

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> #dice

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> "Aah!"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] seems to have not heard your words as he rolls some dice.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]> anime tears well up in [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]'s eyes.

<Jhameren> Dice Script Deactivated

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] frowns. "I've got to play with him? But he's not cute..."

• GoldenH (~839cfff3@reladm.kharkov.net) has joined channel # exaltedbeachvolleyball

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> "And the teams for todays game are [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] and [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] playing against [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] and [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]."

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] blanches.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] smiles. "Yay!" She bouncies up and down.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] takes a deep breath and walks over to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]'s side of the net, very carefully not looking at him. Or his speedo.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] has left # exaltedbeachvolleyball

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] (dissolvegi@69.73.32.249) has joined channel # exaltedbeachvolleyball

<Jhameren> "Two Dawns, eh? Don't you dare lose, Matsu, I've got a talent of orichalcum against Koji's talent of starmetal on this!"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] while relieved at not having to play with [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]], shoots her friend a look of sorrow and pity.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] schools herself to impassivity.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] tosses the ball to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]. "Well then it goes to you to start todays game [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]. Everyone remembers the rules I hope?"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] calls to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]. "I hope you don't think I'll go easy on you, just because we're friends! Prepare yourself!" Her smile takes some of the edge off her words.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] nods, taking the ball, and then turns to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]. "Er, nice to meet you, incidentally."

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]> "Don't worry Jha, I'll win you your talent, just dont tell her where you won it?" turning to regard his teammate, alittle sorry to see her spllit from her usual teammate

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] can't help but grin at [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]. "I'll play my best. You do the same."

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] smiles. "Thanks. Nice to meet you, too." She sticks out her hand.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] shakes [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]'s hand firmly and gets ready to serve.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] offers his hand to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]> With a deep breath and a quick glance at the sun, [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] swings her arm back and hits the ball, sending it in a smooth arc with a quiet popping sound.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] flips her hair back behind her with a quick toss of her head, then steps up to meet the ball. She extends her hands and bumps it to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]... still without actually looking at him.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] watches [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] move for the ball, amazed at how well she hits it at him without watching, leaping up and punching it down across the net

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]> Shaking her head slightly, [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] dispells everything around her except for the pure clarity of thought. The world around her drops away, and nothing cheers her on but the muted sound of the ocean as she leaps to hit the ball, gracefully guiding it to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]].

• Patkin (rroma.phur@user-24-96-31-103.knology.net) has joined channel # exaltedbeachvolleyball

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] raises her hands, hopping up, and hitting the ball hard, knocking it up into the air and towards the net, smiling as she comes back down and the ball falls to the other side.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] runs towards the ball, easily catching it and sending it up towards [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] leans against one side of his chair, watching the ball fly back and forth, up and down, and at the shrine maiden in the bikini.

• willows (~laopooh@pool-141-157-5-103.balt.east.verizon.net) has joined channel # exaltedbeachvolleyball

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] hears the thump of the ball against her teammate's hands, and jumps up to intercept it, her fist lashing out to spike it -- but hesitates at the last moment as she catches sight of [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]'s face.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] watches the ball coming, moving over to it, and getting right underneath it, before loosing her nerve and covering her face with her arms, shrieking cutely as it spirals towards her. Miraculously, the ball bounches off her forearm in a perfect hit, the ball flying up into the air in a perfect arch towards her partner.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] leaps gracefully to her feet, silver grains of sand shaking loose from her cascade of long, blue hair like stars falling from the sky. [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]'s energy, travelling with the ball, surges through [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]'s fingertips as calm, aquatic reason possesses her. A single dewdrop of sweat falls from [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]'s brow as she springs straight into the air, pummeling the ball with all the force her frail mortal arms can muster!

• Jhameren is now known as Kasumi_Lunch

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] blinks in suprise at the speed of the return, running across the sand toward its destination, sunlight gleaming off his muscled as he gets his fingers under it, flicking it up and across to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] for her to return

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] shakes her head in frustration, frowning at her earlier lapse. Is this how her master taught her? And what of her promise to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]], just now? With newfound resolve, she leaps into the air and slams the ball across the net, this time throwing every ounce of conviction behind it!

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] heroicly gets rolled for by me, [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] can now return the ball.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] squints dramatically for concentration purposes as the sun hits her white teeth and makes them sparkle both dangerously and anime-ish-ly! She hits the ball.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] ducks under a flying sparkle before it takes his head off. Raising his head back up he smiles to the bikini clade shrine maiden as he watches her go for the save.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] hops gracefully into the air as the ball approaches her. At the top of her jump, she flips backwards, allowing the ball to barely graze her now-exposed stomach before her ascending leg taps it, gently redirecting it toward [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]].

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] applauds.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] completes her flip and lands lightly on her feet, only blushing slightly as she realizes that the referee is clapping for her.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] watches his teammates moves in admiration, twisting as he leaps up, the sun flashing off his body and speedo then driving the ball down on the other side of the net

• Signoff: GoldenH (Quit: no fate but what we make)

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> ((sounds like slogan for Sidereals, inc...))

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> heh

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]> The changeling smiles in relief as she finds the speed that seemed to leave her in the wake of her separation from [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]. The spot in the sand, the arch of her back, the angle of her body and the weight of the ball against her hand for just a moment-- all of these things, so blessedly familiar, supporting her in her support of [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]].

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> Sadly however, she moves a bit too quickly and moves past the ball to let it hit the sand. "Point to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] and [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]. [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]], would you do the honour of serving the next shot?"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] sighs in irritation, kicking the ball and stubbing her toe in the process.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] frowns, but goes and pats [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] on the back. "Good try."

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] nods. Distracted by [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]'s yelp, she almost fumbles the ball, but manages to hang onto it.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] mutters under her breath about staying focused.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] smiles sypathetically at [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]], watching his teammate serve

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] blushes and readies herself.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] grasps the ball tightly in both hands, pressing in on it as she takes a deep, cleansing breath. Her eyes open, and she skips forward, tossing the ball up and smacking it across the net.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] blinks. This time, she watches the ball, smiling at it and hitting it up, and knocking it in a perfect arch towards dream.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] frowns, thinking to herself. "No matter what I do, it's not good enough. What a load of shit. ACK! I thought 'shit?!'" She looks up and sees the ball coming for her. "EEEeee!" Instinctively, she bats it away from her and towards the other team, wanting it as far from her as possible.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] knows exactly where [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]'s return is going even before the young changeling's hand touches the ball; their time playing together has made her so familiar with the other girl's style that she can easily gauge the intent of her actions. The instinctive nature of the return makes its intent all the more clear...

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> ...but what is even more clear is the fact that [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] will not be able to make it in time.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> She dives for the ball, but it is too little, too late.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> It thuds solidly into the sand.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] jumps up and down, joyful to their point.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] winces sympathetically as you dive but miss the ball and hops down to help you up and return the ball to the other team. "You ok? Good good." And with a flash of a smile returns to his seat.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] looks up in astonishment, both overjoyed at making her first point and sad for her friend. She scoots under the net quickly and helps [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] stand, and then runs off to her place once more.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] climbs back to her feet, brushing sand out of her much-more-disheveled-than-normal hair

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] walks over, offering her a hand and a sympathetic smile "we'll win the next point, dont worry"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] flashes [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] a mildly sheepish smile. "I'm sorry I underestimated you!

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] is about to take [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]'s hand, but then hears the sound of [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] making teh serve!

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> It is like the strike of a thunderbolt! Screaming through the heavens it flies like some sort of intercontinental ballistic volleyball right at the poor girl who just got helped up by all the guys on the field.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] and [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] both turn at the same time, but [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] is just a hair quicker!

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] reacts without thinking, dashing to the ball in a spray of sand and golden light, fingers outstretched as he flicks the ball up and back to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]], determined not to lose another point so quickly

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> If only [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] had been paying attention to the game and not the cute shrine maidens...but no, he was paying attention to ripped suit shrine maidens and the ball strikes his head, falling to the sand for a second point for [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] and [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]].

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] jumps up and down happily. "I'm so good!"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] catches the ball just before it impacts her face, ricocheting off [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]'s head.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] winces.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] offers [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] a hand, only slightly self-consciously.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]> [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]'s eyes go wide in astonishment, and then soften into simple thought. It is obvious that boys are too weak to play this girls' game.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] winces at the sound of ball striking head. "Well...thats thats 2 points for [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] and [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]. One point for [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] and [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]. Uhm...you ok Mat?"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] shakes his head as the ball bounces off, picking himself up, rubbing his head alittle "yeah, I'm fine" damn but hes been hit by swords that hurt less.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] hands him the ball. "I think we both need to work on staying focused," she says wryly.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] goes over to Matumo and gives him a kiss on the cheek. "Sorry... I didn't mean to hit you..."

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> "When everyone is ready it will be [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]'s serve again."

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] nods, hurrying back over to her side and intop position.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] makes mental note to get hit on the head more often as he takes the ball, nodding to his teammate, then gently throwing the ball across to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] nods back, then squares her shoulders, getting ready to play.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] catches up the ball and smiles at it. Maybe she and it are friends again, after all. Only one way to find out..

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> Clearly [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] is still feeling sympathetic for [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] as her serve is a slow and languid.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] is much more careful this time ... not that she needs to be. The ball's lazy trajectory carrys it straight to her hands. She only needs to give it the lightest tap to send it back up into the cloudless sky, waiting for [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]'s strike.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] holds out his hand for the ball as he leaps up into the sky, catching the ball just as it eclipses the sun, driving it down forcefully to land right at [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]'s feet

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] blinks, and panics as the ball heads for her feet, ducking down and hitting it up into the air.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]> Not diving, just ducking.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> "Point for [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] and [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]! Great setup [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]. [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] it is your serve now."

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] grins and slaps [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]'s hand. She blushes yet again when she realizes what she's just done, but doesn't turn away from him,.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> "Do your best, [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]!"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] pouts.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] flashes her a consoling smile.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] smiles "I always do", knocking the ball up and over the net towards the other team, knowing whoever scores the next point wins

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] quietly hopes for [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] to win.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] has been spending most of this round debating within her own head; after much internal monologue, she has decided it would be best to end the game quickly by winning-- which, although sad for [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]], would mean less time she was being ogled by spectators for wearing something uncomfortable. Gossamer threads of energy sparkle in the dying sun as the ball soars towards the other team, whistling through the air like a bird of prey.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] backpedals, scuffing up little puffs of sand, as [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]'s return goes long. It looks like she isn't going to make it... but then she arches her body backwards, hurling herself beneath the rapidly-descending ball. She hits the ground in a reverse-somersault, rolling back to her feet and springing forward, bopping the ball up into the air for [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]].

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] ooohs.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] dashes back up into position as the ball arcs toward [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]].

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] is ready for the return, jumping up in a spray of sand, sunlight gleaming as his muscles flex, his caste mark burning as he hits the ball down, a trail of sunlight gently falling behind the blazing ball

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> Unfortunately for [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]], the trail of Solar Essence makes the ball's trajectory easy to gauge.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] watches the volleyball soar like a comet towards her; she glances quickly at [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]'s speedo once more, and then back at the ball. Wasn't he showing off enough without the pyrotechnics? She wrinkles her nose cutely and bats the ball to her parner.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] once again falls back... but hears the scuff of feet in the sand behind her. [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] is also going for the save! She drops, kicking off from the ground as she falls. In a plume of sand, she skids backwards, passing right between [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]'s legs. Even though her eyes are scrunched tightly shut to avoid seeing his speedo from such an embarassing angle, she still manages to hit the ball with her outstretched hands!

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> your not her partner.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> wait your turn.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> Oh foo!

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] blinks. "The Ball!" She panicks back and forth, trying to remember what to do with the ball. Unfortunately, she takes too long to respond, and the ball bounces off her head and over the net. She rubs her head, pouting and rubbing her head. "Oooooow....."

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] falls down and is knocked out cold!

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> ((my stunt is wasted! My beautiful, beautiful stunt!))

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] looks at [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] in concern.

<MalikaiTheRed> ((better than slinking in super late like me))

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> ((okay, I guess that's what I do when the ball flies off [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]'s head. and then Mat bops it down for the easy point))

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]> Is.. Is there someone who can help her? Or at least get her out of the sun? She might burn..

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]> "Someone should also pull her bikini top back into place...I don't think she wants those exposed. [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] would you please help her? And the winners are [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] and [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]! Well done you two."

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] picks herself up from the ground, noticing for the first time that [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] has been knocked down.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] straightens [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]'s top, and sort of drags her underneath a tree with gentle awkwardness.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] blinks. "Huh??? Why does my head hurt....?"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] brushes sand off herself and ducks under the net, going to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]] and [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]].

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]> "And why are all those men leering at me?"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] averts her eyes. "Ehm..."

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]] is now known as [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Situro]] | Situro]]|Showering

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] smiles at [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]], offering her his hand to help her up, then walks over to the apir beneath the tree "It was a good game, I'm sorry it ended like that"

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]> "Er.. You hurt your head." She turns and picks up her beach towel and offers it to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] for the sake of modesty, for the time being.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> "I... uh... it must be because they're worried you're hurt." [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] blushes like a sunset at the lie.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] wraps the towel around her shoulders like a cape.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]> "Oh..." She waves, smiling at the crowd. "I'm okay!"

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> "I'm sorry the game had to end like that, too. You were a good partner, [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]." [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] bows politely to the man.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] stifles an impish giggle.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] turns to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]].

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] has the decency to look alittle embarrased for the girl, then returns the bow "thank you for playing with me"

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> "And I'm so proud of you! You played so well!"

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] hugs [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]], then hangs her head.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] blushes happily and returns the hug. "Why do you look a little sad?"

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> "I wasn't sure you could do it. I'm sorry I ever doubted you."

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]> "Oh." She looks thoughtful for a moment. "I'm glad you don't doubt me any more."

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]> "Drinks are on me if anyone wants to cool down after the game" heading off to the bar (and I to bed. you kept me up til past 4am on this madness ^_^)

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] smiles. "And I'll never doubt you again, I promise!"

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]> When [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]] is out of earshot, [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] leans in to whisper to [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] in a parody of her own voice. "You were a good PARTNER, [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]." She giggles at her own ephasis.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] blushes furiously for the umpteenth time today.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]> (dont you go tempting me like that! I'm married damnit! and the wife will only want to eat you!)

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]] clears her throat, her face still burning.

• [[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]] simply grins. "I'll leave you two alone." She skitters off into the sunset.

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/WistfulDream]] | Dream]]> ((Good game everyone! It's time for bed for me. :) ))

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Matsumo]] | Matsumo]]> (me too...4:18am...)

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/MinShanYieng]] | Yieng]]> "I'm sorry, my vows prohibit me from drinking alcohol. I'll just... go swimming? To cool down?"

<[[[ExaltedBeachVolleyball/Game01/Kyumi]] | Kyumi]]> Night folks!
