Xaviers!

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.

((Open))

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

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 2:21 pm**

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."

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 3:27 pm**

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.

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 3:39 pm**

"New faces do take some getting used to," he said, "You play?"

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 3:48 pm**

"No, but it does seem like something I would be good at."

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 3:50 pm**

"Oh?" Aaron tossed him the ball.

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 4:06 pm**

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?"

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 4:07 pm**

"Yep," he said, "Just has to go down through the hoop."

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 6:54 pm**

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

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

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 7:54 pm**

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

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 8:13 pm**

"It is nice having my body move exactly how I want it to. Short of bonelessness anyway. "

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 8:16 pm**

"Bonelessness?"

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 8:22 pm**

"I can't move beyond physical limitations or anything like that."

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 9:57 pm**

"Ah. Still, being above human coordination is pretty cool."

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 11:46 pm**

"And you? What's your power?"

Posted: **Wed Aug 26, 2015 11:54 pm**

"Wolf shifter, with all the attendant feral garbage that goes along with it." He passed the ball back to Chase.

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 12:40 am**

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

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 1:19 pm**

"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.

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 2:26 pm**

"Nice," he smiled approvingly.

"I'm Chase, by the way."

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 3:07 pm**

"Aaron," he said, passing the ball to Chase. "Where are you from?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 3:29 pm**

The inevitable awkward question gave him pause.

"Hong Kong."

It was as true an answer as he could give.

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 3:44 pm**

"That's cool. Seems like it be a nice, if crowded, place to live."

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 3:59 pm**

"It's alright I guess," he shrugged.

What little I can remember anyway.

"You?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 4:22 pm**

"Mississippi, in the US. Small town called Tupelo."

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:03 pm**

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

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:07 pm**

"Nice, small town atmosphere. But too hot in the summer, no snow in the winter."

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:21 pm**

"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.

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:29 pm**

"Seems like a nice place, but I'm not much for going out myself."

Posted: **Thu Aug 27, 2015 7:45 pm**

"Too many people," he nodded.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 1:16 pm**

"For me, it's the feral thing. People are... unpredictable. Their behavior isn't rational, no matter what they say."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 2:07 pm**

"Unpredictability sets off the beast?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 2:44 pm**

"Sort of? Not really? That side of me assesses threats differently. Things most people don't even think about can be problematic."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 2:53 pm**

"Watching every shadow for danger, listening for the smallest sound that might give them or you away? Things like that?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 2:56 pm**

"Sometimes," he said, "Or the guy that bumps into you kind of hard on his way out of the store."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 3:04 pm**

"So... aggression issues?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 3:25 pm**

"On occasion," he nodded. "It's different depending on what triggers it, but it's always there in some respects."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 3:52 pm**

"Sounds annoying."

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 3:54 pm**

"It is what it is," he said, taking his shot and sinking the basket.

Posted: **Fri Aug 28, 2015 4:05 pm**

"You're getting better."

Xaviers!
