Renovated and named in memoriam of Alysande Stuart. Houses a modest swimming pool suitable for laps and diving, numerous exercise equipment, an indoor basketball court as well as a nearby soccer field.

Giving It A Shot

Postby Aaron Davis » Tue Aug 25, 2015 7:54 pm

Aaron was taking shots at one of the baskets on the basketball court. He was missing as much or more often than he hit the shots, but that seem to be irritating him at all. He just continued to move and shoot, retrieve the ball, shoot again and repeat.

Chase, having been drawn by the sounds of bouncing basketballs, quietly stepped through the doors to watch.

After a few more shots, Aaron glanced over. "The court's big enough for everyone. You don't have to stay all the way over there."

He briefly appeared almost surprised to be noticed so easily, then he approached.

"Right. Just... not used to so many new faces, I guess," he said.

Chase caught it and studied it for a moment to gauge the weight, then bounced it a few times.

"Just throw it in the net?"

He nodded and threw it, getting the net with his first try.

"Benefits of enhanced dexterity and coordination," he smirked.

"Nice," Aaron said, retrieving the ball and taking another shot which glanced off the rim. "Abilities like that can come in really handy."

"But it has some perks too, right?" he asked. He took another, slightly less accurate, shot.

"Sometimes. And it is what it is, so no use crying over spilt milk, I guess." He retrieved the ball and did a lay up that actually went in.

The inevitable awkward question gave him pause.

"Hong Kong."

It was as true an answer as he could give.

"What's it like there?" he asked, stepping back and making a slightly more distant shot. Swish!

"Can't say I've ever been in a small town. Haven't even stepped out into Maldon yet," he said as he retrieved the ball. He tossed it to Aaron.
