The Most Unprofessional (PE Class/Open)

[Mr. Damien 'Mayhem' Caine]

(OOC: Open, but for the sake of staying manageable no more then 3 people please. I will be doing these sort of threads consistently so other character will get there turns.)

---

Damien Caine stood by the door in the gym that lead to the changing rooms. Waiting and leaning against the wall next to it. One of his feet tapping impatiently on the ground. He was quickly growing bored with waiting and so lifted a hand and slammed it hard against the door. Thump..thump..thump. "Would you lot hurry it up, last on the ground will regret it." Damien shouted loud enough for the people in the room to hear. The threat was left open ended and maybe have been empty, but only he would know if it was or not. Well until it was proven to be true or false. 

Pushing up from the wall however, Mayhem would walk towards the corner of the gym. He had a chair there, not something he really should have, and there were two large black bags held close with drawstring on the ground next to it. Once he reached his chair, Damien took off his trademark red leather jacket and put it down neatly on the chair before patting down the pockets. Casually he then pulled a cigar from inside the jacket and sat down on the edge of the chair as he lit the cigar and waited for the students to actually make a showing. 

[Emily Suddenfield]

Emily was already on the ground, doing pushups. She was far off and to the side of the others, who were in gym attire. She was wearing her hoodie, some shorts and a sports bra (under the hoodie). Even in PE class, she wouldn't set it aside.

"Fifty four. Fifty Five. Fifty Six. Fifty Seven. Fifty-"

She seemed to be ignoring the others, including the teacher.

[Violet Lockheart]

The Next Episode

PE Class. She knew she needed the course to stay in shape but was it really necessary? She was already being regularly tested as a pillar in keeping the peace, not to mention the occasional surprise round with Magnus or Emily thrown in. It wasn't even all that which made Violet go into a tizzy, rather it was the tight uniform. It was strangely arrayed and really didn't give her what she needed in the means of support. The call from their teacher would echo seemingly throughout the building catching her ear and putting her hastily into a charge for position. In the hurry Violet almost forgot her headband retreating again to grab it and ruffle it through her hair til she had it in a neat ponytail. The rush soon to follow would be very characteristic of her as she broke the reigns of the hallway and tumbled out face first into the gym floor. 

"Ta-da..." She'd say making the apparent effort to fling her appendages upwards and out to anyone who may have caught her fall. 

[Melanie Ross]

Melanie looked lazily around the room. Did she want to be here? No. Did she need to? Yes. She needed to be able to protect herself. She didn't know what had come over her when she had hurt that male student for Vi, but hopefully, it wouldn't happen again. Not to say it would not, but maybe...

The teacher called the class to get on the floor. Melanie pushed herself from the ground and strode to the mat, face still blank with boredom. Seeing Vi and Emily, Melanie's face would liven a bit. She liked these two. Maybe class wouldn't be so bad after all.

"Yup."

[Mr. Damien 'Mayhem' Caine]

Damien smoke a few more puff of the cigar, before stubbing it out and sliding the remains careful into a small case and back into the jacket pocket before standing looking over at the now assembled class. "Alright kids, let do something fun. Who here has heard of slamball." Damien said clapping his hand together and moving over to the equipment room and opening the door. He quickly came back out with a small circular trampoline in each hand. He dropped one by the nearest basket ball net and then dropped the other and with a push of his foot slide the thing towards the students. "Someone put that down at the other end, and then..." Damien moved to the bag and tossed it after the trampoline. "And set up those mats around it." The bag, was filled with four blue crash mats, and he took the other to the first trampoline and set them up himself. He would wait until the other side was set up as well. "Alright split yourself into some teams, don't care how you do just do it." He ordered and went back into the equipment room and came back with a basket ball. 

This was so unprofessional, the trampolines were not designed for this, and any sort of health and safety check would have a field day if they heard about it. However he hoped that no student would speak up and get him into trouble when he brought something that could be a fun as this. At least as fun as he thought it was in his mind.

The Next Episode

Violet managed to recover, albeit slowly. She really didn't want to come off as a klutz however at every opportunity she seemed to do so especially around this group, they were beginning to get a really good gander as to just how much a fool she could be and this wasn't even her final form. That aside she'd rise into a kneeling position prompting herself upright not to put herself in yet another dastardly scenario.

"Alright kids, let do something fun. Who here has heard of slamball."

Violet would make a look at him that was borderline overly precautious. It sounded...dirty. In fact to the point she'd open her mouth to object to the phrasing that he'd used. "That doesn't sound approprio-" Catching herself from finishing those lines as slamball did in fact sound like one of her parent's mystery games she'd accidentally been exposed to one summer evening after walking in on them when she was supposed to be away at summer camp.

"Someone put that down at the other end, and then...And set up those mats around it."

His words gratefully cutting her short as she found herself in the possession of the gear moving in a zombie fashion to obey his commands somehow coming up last in the order to pick teams. Honestly she'd hoped that Melanie would team up with her, the pair had greater chemistry but she'd ultimately feign to whichever decision the swifter pair responded with.

[Melanie Ross]

Melanie sauntered over to Vi's side. She liked the girl and well, they seemed to be a good team. Why not try it out in something that isn't fighting?

"Hey, wanna be a team?"

If she said no, Melanie would walk to her Captain asking the same question, but if she did, Melanie would smile and hold up a hand for a high five. However, she had no clue what slam ball was...

"Let's get it then. You uh... You know what slam-ball is?"

[Emily Suddenfield]

Emily would stand, brushing her hands off on her shorts and looking around. Several individuals were coming forward despite not knowing what slamball was. Emily had no idea either but would do as the teacher asked, moving and adjusting the mats into the positions he was requesting. If Melanie did come over to ask to team up, she would nod to accept, looking at the high five for a second and blinking. She was...supposed to hit her hand, right? Nobody ever hiigh-fived her before so....

She would reach up and gently slap her hand, walking forward to listen to what the teacher was instructing.

[Mr. Damien 'Mayhem' Caine]

Damien would wait and watch waiting for the teams to form. Due to Melanie intent to ask to team up with Violet first and then Emily after if Violet she refused. That would end up leaving two of them on one team, and the third of them on the other. Either way when Mayhem looked over the teams, he would notice from being reputation and his position as a teacher though that the teams would end up somewhat unbalanced. This was due to the fact of two pillars, on one team and the last on another. Even with the school captain possibly balancing that if she was the lone person, Damien felt that it would be unfair. However he would let things play out to start well after a fashion.

He would point one team to one side of the court, and the other to the other. Before pointing at Melanie to come to the centre court, and then Emily or Violet whoever ended up on the opposite team. Bringing the ball over he would move over in-between them and stand off slightly to the side. Before addressing the class.

"Alright simple thing, rules of bball are normal, except if you move the trampoline to stop one using it I will toss your ass out this so fast you, you'll get friction burns off the damn air itself. Other then that, slams from the trampoline are worth 5 points, to encourage their use." Damien spoke at length, and then held the ball between Melanie and the other pillar on the opposite team before tossing it up into the air between them. Giving the ball a fractional little bit of favour towards the side with only one pillar, to make thing interesting, before backing off in order to not be in the way. 

(OOC: PLEASE READ - If Violet agrees to join Melanie side, Emily is on the other, if she doesn't Melanie and Emily are together. The thread continuing more smoothly it would be better if Violet posted first in order to agree or disagree so that Melanie and Emily know the teams. The team with one pc has four npcs they can use, the team with two pc has 3 npc they can use. The npcs are considered to have 8 in each stat.)

The Next Episode

"Hey, wanna be a team?"

A wild grin lighting her features as relief flushed over as well. Things worked out for the best for Violet as they tended to do however her elation would be temporary as guilt at her exposed Captain at the other end of the field became more and more apparent as the they paired off leaving Emily a solo-player.

"Let's get it then. You uh... You know what slam-ball is?"

With a small grimace and only half picking up on Melanie's commentary Violet would offer her a genuine shrug looking over their teacher as he semi-explained the rules to them. Any notion of understanding this man was simply out of the question as his actions seemed energized.

A ball courteously given to each of their teams and the rules described. Call Violet dense but she really didn't catch the gist of it entirely. Slams on the trampoline gave five points, simple enough. Don't move the trampoline simple. Got it good. As for the rules as normal well Vi had never played this game. She'd take this opportunity to walk over to Melanie and have a silent little "pow-wow".

"I think I get it.. you're taller than me so stand right over here with your hands up." Violet would say motioning her over to stand in front of the trampoline all the while she'd make a grappling motion for the ball, if unhindered Violet would try taking it gingerly though wouldn't put up a fight if Melanie wanted to keep possession of it. "Watch this."

A wry grin as Violet would simply walk over towards the other side of the play field ball in hand, without eye contact with the teacher breaking she'd simply kneel over the trampoline and begin slamming the ball against the trampoline repetitively. "5, 10, 15..." So on and so on til someone stopped to explain the rules to her further.

Man thinking was such a work out.

[Melanie Ross]

Melanie nodded to Vi as she accepted and slowly dropped her hand. No high five... got it She'd let Vi take the ball and shrug herself.

"Yeah, maybe you got it." Melanie would start as she watched her walk to the mimi-trampoline and begin dribbling.

"Uh... I am no expert here, but i think that may be wrong..."

She'd steal a glance at the super cute teacher.

"Maybe we need a bit more explanation...? That'd be great. Thanks."

[Emily Suddenfield]

Emily scowled but would follow orders, moving to the grid that Mayhem sent her to. She would glance at him but keep her eyes on the prize. 

Victory, right?

Wait....what were they even playing? Thank God for Melanie- that girl came right out and asked. She would wait for the explanation from the teacher, eyes on him in question.

[Mr. Damien 'Mayhem' Caine]

Damien right hand came up, slapping onto his face over his eye and forehead in an audible fashion as he saw the action of the girl who had managed to get the ball. Slowly he moved towards her, his hand coming away from the face-palm as he shook his head and spoke. "You must be dumb as hell, or being cheeky as fuck." Damien said to her in an clearly annoyed voice as he reached her. His arm swiping out to claim the ball she was bouncing against the trampoline. "It's not that hard of a concept." Damien said and then jumped up in a violent burst of motion onto the trampoline itself. Damien would fly up into the air, and towards the hoop and slam the ball down one handed through the hoop before grabbing on and hanging for a moment. 

Then he would let go, drop to the ground and turn to face the others present. "Slam dunk, Slamball. It's not that hard a damn concept." He said repeating himself somewhat and would crouch down to bend and pick up the ball again. Damien would then toss the ball across court to Emily. "It's basket ball with an addition. So for the little display here, your team can start with possession." Damien nodded toward the girl he had thrown the ball, and stormed off to his corner mumbling in audibly for those around. 

[Violet Lockheart]

EVEN WITH THESE CHAINS

you can't stop me

Perhaps Violet was a little bit of both, she liked reading into the intricacies of rules and playing them off literally with the slight oversight of the intent. A smug smirk on her features having rustled some of the teacher's jimmies only to have the rules more strictly defined and their team's possession overruled. Bummer dude. However that wouldn't stop her from trying retreating back to her side of the field and raising a high five for Mel still smirking confidently.

"I think I have an idea... probably going to piss the teacher off though." Violet would giggle silently to herself as she'd pass back towards their trampoline standing precariously close to it with avid attention on where the ball was headed. For now she was back on Defense.

Melanie Ross Emily Suddenfield Mr. Damien 'Mayhem' Caine

[Melanie Ross]

I sighed with a smile and watched as Vi was relieved of the ball. So our team didn't start out with the ball, big deal! We'd still have a chance at winning. Although i had never been overly great at sports. I hated them actually. I watched at the cute ass walked off the court. My eyes shifting back to Vi as she guarded the trampoline then moving over my team, then finally landing on my Captain, Emily.

"I looked to my left at a girl playing with her nails, she obviously thought the same of the game as i did. However, i wanted to make a good impression on the teacher. So, i whispered to her:

"Hey, after they start, go left and block." I looked to my right. "You go right and block. Maybe if we have the field, we can do this." I looked back at Vi. "Guard that Trampoline. We'll try and stop the front."

"Whatever, Captain shortie." The one on my right rolled her eyes. The guy on my left winked at me and smiled. "Let's do this, Cap."
