[ Ohai Yuri is looking pretty serious! Not that she usually looks silly, she just.. looks like she's got an idea. It's not a bad thing, of course. First things first. ]

Sokka! I need to talk to you in person ASAP! Scorpius, you too, but after Sokka. [ Yuri thinks Sokka would probably object to what she needs to ask Scorpius about, after all. ]

Everyone else: Favorite sport, go.

[ Filtered to the SSS. ~80%. ]
[ Someone helped her learn how to filter things much better, okay. ]

Meeting tomorrow morning. 9am. Go to the fountain; you'll be able to get instructions on where to go from there. Let me know if you can't make it before the meeting.

{{ OOC: I'll be posting a thread on her appointments post for the meeting in a little bit. I will update the OOC note here with the link when it's up. Meeting is here. Yuri will have someone from the SSS stand around the fountain from 8 to 9 and tell anyone in the SSS where to go. }}

You must be out of luck here then, unless there's a skating rink I missed out on.

[herotypical]

There's a -- [ two years running, jack sparrow has worked hard at making her a rink once it got cold enough ] -- wait for winter. Someone usually manages to cobble one together.

[magentarific]

Huh. I didn't know that many people would be into it to make one each winter. Maybe I'll check it out! You can use the battle dome to make one? When I first got here it was the middle of winter and they managed a warm pool party.

[herotypical]

Probably. but...[ she isn't fond of the battle dome. there's something supremely hinky about all that fakeness. not to mention the fact that its rare glitches are creepy as heck. ]

Nothing quite compares to the real deal, y'know? Last time, we even christened the rink with a kind of a skating extravaganza. Kinda worth it to watch the uptight history-dudes Bambi their way across the ice.

[magentarific]

I know what you mean. I don't like the feeling that it's probably keeping records of everything we do in there, too.

[ Yuri flat out refuses to go in there except for that party, but so far it seemed like everyone else did it. ]

You could probably sell tickets to sit on the sidelines just to watch that.

[herotypical]

If you're still here when the next one rolls around, I'll be sure to put you on the invite list.

Whoever you are.

[magentarific]

Yuri Nakamura! Yuri or Yurippe is fine. I think we talked once before but I never got your name either.

[herotypical]

Buffy Summers. [ she always provides her name with an edge of hesitation, never knowing who will already know it from raine's guide. ]

[magentarific]

Nice to meet you, Buffy. So do you do any other sports?

[herotypical]

Do gatecrasher sales count as a sport?

[magentarific]

Probably not. Most sports have rules of some kind. Sales of any kind are usually every woman for herself.

[herotypical]

Well. In that case?

I did do some cheerleading. Back in the day.

[magentarific]

Cheerleading, huh? Is that fun? I've never really cheered before.

[herotypical]

It...was spiffy. For a while.

[ and then she learned to get her kicks elsewhere, if not her thrills. ]

[magentarific]

"Spiffy"?

[herotypical]

Fabu. Excellent. Passes muster.

[magentarific]

I know what it means. I just haven't heard that word in a long time.

[herotypical]

Well.

I'm glad I could provide some clearly sorely needed vocab variety.

[magentarific]

What year are you from?

[herotypical]

Two thousand and four. As close to five as makes very very very little difference.

[ with a castle and an army. and now she was here. ]

[magentarific]

[ Yuri takes a few seconds to think. ] If you count post-mortem time, it'd probably be about 2010 where I'm from.

[herotypical]

Post-mortem...

[magentarific]

Dead as dead can be. I was in an afterlife before this.

[herotypical]

[ ...oh. ]

One of the good ones, I hope.

[magentarific]

I guess that depends on what you want. It was a lot like being alive, minus the bad stuff. The world itself isn't that bad. It's what happened before we got there that makes things hard. I'd estimate 25 as the oldest anyone is there and there weren't any happy endings. Or happy middles. That's how you get there.
