71,08 Everyone needs a hobby. And ice cream.

[ichoosefight]

[ Steph is laying on her bed with a book in front of her, closed. She’s using it as a surface to doodle on. This is a clear sign that she’s bored. ]

You know, it seems like all we talk about around here is floods. Or whatever other crazy thing just happened. We used to have movie nights. And a book club. Or so I’ve heard, it was never really my thing.

[ She rolls around onto her back, turning the camera upside down with her. ]

So what would you guys think if we had some sort of ping-pong social night? We could have ice cream. Or hot cocoa if it’s cold. I know a few people on board could use the practice socializing with other people in healthy ways.

Any takers? Any? At all?

I would certainly be. I have never played table tennis, though.

[ichoosefight]

I can teach you. You just need hand eye coordination. And really, it's more about the socializing than winning. [ She can say that because she never loses. ]

[strangehistorian]

Alright!

[It's also about being able to see over the table. :(]

I'll let you beat me at ping pong once a week if you let me beat you at chess?

[ichoosefight]

Define "let you beat me" at chess. Wouldn't that require having a chance of winning?

[buildindreemz]

You may be right.

Still, I'm happy to offer myself up as an instructor if it widens my pool of opponents.

[some_kinda_hero]

If you're there, I'm there.

[ichoosefight]

Then consider yourself there, bestie.

[some_kinda_hero]

Can't say I know how to play, really, but whatever.

[surfaceshine]

Can't say I'm much for ping pong, but I will eat the shit out of some ice cream and socialize until you guys start putting a bouncer at the door.

[ Voice ]

[ichoosefight]

On the door? Heck, I'll be the bouncer. One game, and you're in.

[surfaceshine]

So this is like Fight Club?

Ping pong paddles are against my Man Code. [He sounds amused, though; he's probably grinning.]

[sharpememory]

I'd be up for that. Especially if it's a hot chocolate with a bit of alcohol in there.

[ichoosefight]

No promises unless you bring your own. But I can totally provide some hot chocolate.

[sharpememory]

Meeting in the middle, I like it. When are you thinking about making this happen?

[bodyreads]

In "healthy ways".

[Oh, Steph, you're funny.]

[ichoosefight]

[ She wasn't talking about you! ]

Healthier ways, at least. Than like, conspiring to take over the barge.

[bodyreads]

True.

[She flashes her a smile.]

Ice cream and waffles?

[peektuttut]

I heard you did a lot of ping-pong at college. [He's a creep :v] Any good?

[ichoosefight]

[ Stalker. ]

Oh, I'm good. I'm the best.

[peektuttut]

Big talk, can you back it up?

[an_abomination]

A few people, huh?

[ichoosefight]

Or maybe a lot. You know how it is.

Late comment is laaaaate

[slayage]

I don't think I've ever actually played a game of ping pong, but, I am so in.

I know not this 'late' of which you speak

[ichoosefight]

There's a first time for everything! Thursdays work for you?
