Varsity!: A Sports Anime RPG by tabletopatelier (itch.io)
seth_f_richards has played Bounty: Nothing Breaks with 'Good luck to us'
Toastarcher: Krieg would be out selling concessions
Toastarcher: "GET YOUR SNACKS, GET YOUR DRINKS. REASONABLE PRICES BUY 1 GET 1 FREE"
KuariThunderclaw: Midnight would be in the stands shouting, "Come on Lio! Remember! You've beaten me! You can beat Aspara and Gus! GO GO GO!"
CausticLullaby: Quet joins late and looks for somewhere to sit.
ProfWinter: Nichol is sitting in the stands with a wanderpus jersey slung over one shoulder. "Great job, Lio! You got this!"
KuariThunderclaw: "Come on Vatna! Don't give up! Use his confidence and power against him!," Midnight would be shouting.
CausticLullaby: Quet steps past Nichol, knowing better than to tap on their shoulder, then looks at him and points at the seat, "Is this seat taken?"
ProfWinter: "YOU GOT A SHOT, I THINK, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PL-" Now Nichol notices Quet. "Oh! Yeah, please. Want a jersey?"
CausticLullaby: Quet's flowers blink, a combination of startled at how loud Nichol was yelling, and also the offer of the jersey, "Um... Is it button-up?"
septarius has played Rhythm is Gonna Get You! with 'Gus is possessed by DJ?'
ProfWinter: "...no, it isn't. I made the same mistake, so I can't wear it either."
Shinyshyvana: Osiria is just watching quietly from the stands for now, trying her best to understand exactly how this game works.
CausticLullaby: Quet giggles, their normally shifting tone making it sound... interesting. "I wonder if they take returns or trades, maybe they have one?"
ProfWinter: "Maybe, but it's Krieg. I'm a bit doubtful."
toastarcher has played Coin Flip
CausticLullaby: Quet considers that as she sits, "Krieg seems particularly biased towards the crew. He might be fair?"
ProfWinter: "Maybe. I'd rather just give it to one of the other crew first than deal with whatever trade policy."
toastarcher has played Raise a roll by 1
Not4givn: "YEAH! What a move from Aspara!" *Tsoki cheers*
CausticLullaby: Quet considers that, "Well Akhana is close to your height? She's usually around somewhere."
ProfWinter: "I'll have to look. Meanwhile..." Nichol twirls the shirt over his head. "Good stop, Lio!"
CausticLullaby: Quet looks at Vatna, "Goodness, how did that happen?"
KuariThunderclaw: "Get to her side and launch her," Midnight would shout.
CausticLullaby: Quet looks over at Midnight, then back to the game, "Throw... her?" Aspara went flying and he startled, "Ah, nevermind."
KuariThunderclaw: Midnight looks over to Quet, "I've fought her twice before. She can take a lot."
CausticLullaby: Quet nods their 'head' with a shuffling of petals, "Yes, their whole family is quite durable it seems."
ProfWinter: "Seems like you need to be tough for this game."
CausticLullaby: "I could never keep up with something like this, it seems very physical."
11 Vatna Emotes
Septarius: "Ooooh Zacna!"
ProfWinter: Nichol winces visibly at that hit.
Shinyshyvana: "That must have been... Rather painful."
CausticLullaby: Quet cheers confusedly.
Not4givn: "What a move!" *Tsoki screams as he loses his mind*
Septarius: *cheer*
KuariThunderclaw: "YEEEEEEEAH! STINGERS! STINGERS! STINGERS!," Midnight would be trying to get a chant going.
Toastarcher: "Get your Souvenirs here"
seth_f_richards has played Diggy Diggy Done! with 'I legit didn't realize I won this. Oops.'
kuarithunderclaw has played Medical Tool with 'Athletic Wing Brace?'
CausticLullaby: Quet filters back into the field's stands a week later to watch.
ProfWinter: Nichol is also back, but looking a good bit more subdued and less excited.
CausticLullaby:Quet glances at Nichol, then offers them some lemonade.
Shinyshyvana: Osiria is definitely coming back to watch this game as well. She still doesn't fully understand web ball, but she's somewhat invested at this point.
Not4givn: *Tsoki is back excited as ever and fully dressed up in Silver Stinger merch*
ProfWinter: Nichol will take it. He'll sneak a bit of rum into it before drinking.
Toastarcher: "GET YOU TEAM JERSEY'S, COMMEMORATIVE MUGS. HALF OFF DRINK WITH EVERY MUG PURCHASE"
CausticLullaby: Quet notices the rum, but doesn't say anything about it, "So, forgive me, but is that... an undead owl?"
KuariThunderclaw: "Is... is that a zombie owl? Why is there a muscular zombie owl?," Midnight would say with some concern, "Is... is it an intelligent zombie?"
Not4givn: "AY KRIEG! LEMME GET A MUG OVAH 'ERE"
ProfWinter: "Big mug here, please." Nichol takes another drink and turns to Quet. "Worse. It's an undead owl, using the body of the person that made me ghost the Parliament in the first place. ...and my old bosses, too." Nichol takes a looong drink.
Schrei1013: *Pim out here dressed like Lola bunny in a cropped stingers fan jersey, face all painted, with pompoms ready to aggressively cheer*
Toastarcher: "HERE'S A MUG THANK YOU FOR A YOUR PURCHASE. WOULD YOU LIKE A DRINK?"
CausticLullaby: Quet rustles a bit uncertainly, "I knew... a bit, though not to that level. Does that mean that's The Roc?"
KuariThunderclaw: "Ooooo... don't let that one go Lio! KICK HIS ASS!"
ProfWinter: "YES. Something with alcohol, please."
Toastarcher: "Normally larger mugs are more expensive but for you same price as a normal sized mugg"
Toastarcher: "We got some special from the Belle hear you go"
Schrei1013: “I’d like mug + beer too please!!!”
Toastarcher:"Mug for you and half priced beer"
Not4givn: "DO YA GOTS ANY COFFEE?"
ProfWinter: Nichol pays the money, then looks to Quet, obviously hella distracted. "If it's not, it's damn near a twin. And of course they start with the standard work."
CausticLullaby: Quet sounds concerned, "Would you say they'd be willing to cause a lot of harm even while in a televised match?"
Toastarcher: "YES WE DO YOU WANT IT BLACK OR WITH CREAMER"
ProfWinter: Nichol takes another drink. "I would, and I learned the basics from Penny and Pound both. Absolutely they would."
Not4givn: "BLACK SIR THANK YA MUCH!"
Twylark: *Strapped with a silver & teal serving tray full of schnax, Ceylon walks up and down the HTMLW stands offering samples to anyone that shouts, nods, or breaths..
Toastarcher: "HERE YOU GO A NICE ROAST FROM LAND OF SALT AND SAND"
luridchronomancer has played Triumph!
CausticLullaby: Quet makes a worried sound, "Maybe I should visit the locker room during halftime and see if any of them need to be healed..."
Schrei1013: “HEY CEYLON!!! Can I get some snacks over here?!”
KuariThunderclaw: "Owwwww, don't think he's ever walking again after that one. Not without a cleric," Midnight would say, visibly cringing.
ProfWinter: "That might be a good idea, Quet."
Twylark: "OH YEA!!! Gotta keep the your energy up Most Wanted! *wink* They're sausage & cheese filled, wanna see how long you can get the cheese to string??"
shinyshyvana has played Raise a roll by 1
schrei1013: “only if you’re on the other end of the cheese string pretty bird lady!” *finger guns*
Twylark: "BWAAAAAWK!!! YESSS!!!"
Twylark: "You grab this end & let's get on that platform there!" (full on mascot/cheerleader energy at the sportsball game in my mind, love it!)
LioLevon: *Lio would be in visible pain on the bottom of the arena.*
KuariThunderclaw: Midnight lets out a yell of anger at what pound just did, standing and looking visibly pissed at this.
causticlullaby has played Whoops with 'pound's knife'
ProfWinter: Nichol sighs and looks to Quet. "Yeah, you're gonna be needed in that locker room." Nichol is really not enjoying this.
akhanasama has played HP Shot! with 'for Lio'
Schrei1013: *Ceylon and Pim are going full sexy cheerleader over here*
CausticLullaby: Quet gets up and starts heading towards the locker room to tend to the guys' injuries during halftime.
ProfWinter: Nichol breathes a sigh of relief and finishes his drink.
Toastarcher: "GAME 2 SOUVENIRS WHO WANTS THEM GET THEM SO YOU CAN BRAG TO YOUR FRIENDS"
Toastarcher:"WE ALSO HAVE CHEERLEADER PRINTS FOR THOSE MEN OF CULTURE ;)"
KuariThunderclaw: Midnight let's out a cheer at the win though has to likely be talked down from hunting down Pound for revenge.
Not4givn: "What another perfect game of Webball"
Shinyshyvana: "This game is truly... Fascinating, that much is for sure."
Akhanasama: "GET OUT THERE BUN!"
Twylark: "Creatures of Culture"
Toastarcher: "Yes sorry my fault"
KuariThunderclaw: Midnight also totally buys some prints despite his anger.
CausticLullaby: Quet looks at the Pastura arena then picks up a piece of the famous bread to share with Nichol since they're apparently game watching buddies now.
Toastarcher: "TEAM PICTURES HERE GET YOUR TEAM PICTURES"
ProfWinter: "Thanks, Quet! At least this should actually be a fun one."
Toastarcher: "GET YOUR PLUSHIES WE GOT ONE OF ALL THE TEAM"
Toastarcher: "THERE IS EVAN ONE FOR THE HEDGEHOG TACO"
CausticLullaby: Quet begins subtly passing all of the bread to Nichol because she doesn't eat food. Whether Nichol notices in the chaos of the game? Who knows.
ProfWinter: Nichol does not, in fact, notice.
KuariThunderclaw: Midnight just stares at the literal TARRASQUE in the arena, "Oh crap... this is going to be a tough one. Like the other three? Easy... her? Not so much."
CausticLullaby: "You seem to be doing better today, I was worried."
Not4givn: "That's what i am talking about Marlo!"
Toastarcher: "take this time to grab a Lio endorsed Snapple"
Toastarcher: "WE ARE SELLING BHS COPIES OF THE WEB BALL GAMES"
CausticLullaby: "That... doesn't sound good. I hope everything is going better for you now?"
ProfWinter: "Well, I'm kind of worried about Lio's condition, but I know he's tough enough to handle it."
CausticLullaby: Quet made a hmming noise, "I know Lio was treated, so hopefully he's doing well."
Toastarcher: "WE GOT FASTBALL SPECIAL T-SHIRTS"
Toastarcher: "GET YOUR MEMENTOS"
Toastarcher: *CLAPS*
KuariThunderclaw: "...yeah.. this is definitely concerning," Midnight would state with an eyebrow raise.
Toastarcher: "LOVE OF THE GAME MUGS AND STICKERS'
Toastarcher: "WE GOT WATER BOTTLES AND POPCORN"
Shinyshyvana: Osiria's going to flag down Krieg during the downtime, she wants one of those Fastball shirts.
Toastarcher: "what size shirt do you want"
Shinyshyvana:@ "Medium should be fine, thank you."
Toastarcher: "good comeback story"
Toastarcher: "alright here you thank you for your purchase first purchase also gets a sticker"
Shinyshyvana: Osiria hands over the appropriate amount of coins, taking the shirt and the sticker. "Thank you very much."
Toastarcher: "your welcome Pleasure to do business"
KuariThunderclaw: "Risky, but not a bad strategy. Question is how the Catfish adjust," Midnight would observe.
Toastarcher: "WE GOT REDDI PRINTS FOR SALES"
KuariThunderclaw: "When the hell did he manage that? He was a pushover against Aspar- ... oh.... that's probably why."
Toastarcher: "TABATHA PRINTS HERE GET A PICTURES OF THE ROYAL COUPLE"
Toastarcher: "TRICK SHOT VIDEOS HERE"
KuariThunderclaw: Midnight actually kind of pouts at the draw. He can't really be mad at what's going on as it's far too wholesome but it goes against every fiber of his competitive spirit.
ProfWinter: "Okay, this is amazing."
Toastarcher: "GET YOUR MULTI-SHOT SHOT GLASSES"
Septarius: "Dink it and sink it"
Toastarcher: "WE WILL BE HAVE A QUICK AUTOGRAPH SESSION AFTER THE GAME"
Toastarcher: "GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH TICKETS HERE GRAB A GAME BALL AS WELL"
StellarVaNex: Clementine provides lemon free bars substituted with honey
KuariThunderclaw: Midnight would take advantage of the free food to satiate himself, probably challenging people to arm wrestling matches to let out some of that remaining competitive energy.
Toastarcher: "GET YOUR PLANES TROTTER SHIRT"
