3rd Royal Decree

[solarhussyalert]

Action: School

[Lym is at school, and completely overwhelmed, sure its only elementary school but there are so many people. You can see her in class trying to pay attention, unless you are trying to explain that democracy is the best system out there, you may get a fight there. Or at least nonparliamentary styled versions. Or you may find her being less than impressed in her other classes.]

Action: Downtown

[Lym is window shopping, looking around and letting out a breath]

Nothing looks right. Is everyone in this town supposed to dress like a Barrows?

Phone:

Um. This is Lymsleia and I was told that this talking thing would be a good solution. Is there anything not boring to do here? Anything at all?

Action: 747 Partridge Drive

[Lym is in the basement this evening, staring at the bust with the sun rune that she's thrown 3 table cloths, a blanket and anything else she can over it with an irritated look on her face]

I'm sure. There's a few other people here who know how to play, so you can ask them if you don't believe me.

Besides, it's ok if you trip and fall, that's all part of the learning process.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I'm suddenly a lot less confident about this.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

It's grass, you'll be fine. Just take it slowly to start so you can get used to the movements. [He starts showing her how to do the basic stuff, making sure to go slow so she can see and mimic if she wants.]

[She nods and tries... But soccer is less about flailing, or blind charging, or knocking crap over... Lym would probably be good at football, but, she's going to spend the majority of the time on her face after tripping over the ball]

.....Ow....

[Ken will help her up each time, and gently try and encourage her to keep trying. If it helps, he's soon covered in grass and dirt too.]

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Why don't I just pick up the ball and charge the goal... I think I'd be better at that...

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Because that would be cheating, which would ruin the fun. Just keep tryin', you're getting better!

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

[No, she's not. She really isn't. Soccer requires finesse and skill, not the blunt instrument of Lymzilla]

I dunno about that....

[She spits out some dirt]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

It just takes a while. [Well, she doesn't have to be good at it, Ken just wants her to have fun, and he thinks she needs to get outside more.]

Ok. Let's just work on kicking for now. You don't have to run for that.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Ugh.. Okay...

[Boy is she good at sending the ball flying... No control but she can send it randomly off in just about any direction. Be afraid if you're in her cone of influence]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Wow, you got some nice distance there! [Well colour Ken impressed. Maybe improve her aiming skills and she'd be a terror as a shooter.]

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but... I don't think the ball will not be moving in the game.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Actually there are times it wont be and you can make shots like this. You're doing well for your first time.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

[Maybe in some retarded Happy Gilmoresque way she's doing well, but she is dirty, and kind of cranky looking]

I dunno.. This... Really doesn't seem to be my thing...

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Maybe not, which is fine, everyone likes different things. [She tried, that's really what matters right now.]

Why don't we stop so you can go take a bath. I'll make you a snack.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Uh... Okay... I'm sorry, just this is kind of not my thing.

[She bows and sighs, starting inside]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's ok! Don't look so down. You gave it a shot and that's what matters. Sure it's y favorite sport, but that doesn't mean everyone is going to love it as much as I do.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

It really needs more things to do with your hands...

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Well, there are lots of different sports out there. Maybe you'd like American Football, or baseball. Lots of throwing in those ones.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I'd really just kind of like a library with books that aren't really stupid.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, that I can't provide you...though I think a few people around town have had books from their home returned. I'm sure some of them would be willing to share.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I dunno, most of the stuff I read probably doesn't matter here anyways. I'm not in charge.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

That doesn't matter. Reading is a good way to keep yourself entertained, and it might do you good to read books from different universes.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

I guess there'd have to be political books here too...

[She ponders]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Not just political books, as I know for sure that Crowe has detective novels sitting around, but pretty much everything!
