Alderaan - Love and Intrigue

Okay. So she was starting off with the ball. No big deal. It wasn't as if she'd never played Huttball before. She could do this. And by THIS, she meant live up to all her smack talking and bragging. Yeah... she was the best there was. She would wow them all by...

Doing nothing, then passing the ball to someone else!

((No strain, no advantage, no threat... nothin' ))

Garth was disappointed, a professional huttball player on his own team and...that was it?

At least she had the sense to promote the ball to someone in a better position, although he got swarmed by the opposing team just as he caught the ball, a deft juke and fake pass with a little assistance, allowed him to make some space for one of his teammates...hopefully.

It's a tight defensive struggle as the ball lands in the hands of....

The Count was neither an employee, nor an associate nor a member of House Thul, and he was unlikely to team up with them under any other circumstances because of their Imperial connections, but this was sport, and it looked like the field was already heavily skewed toward Organa supporters, and he appreciated some balance. He made sure that his Serenno crest was visible to indicate who he truly represented.

Huttball wasn't his favourite either, and he dressed for this like for a match of cricket, conceding not on his exemplary chic. Had he heard Jameela's objections he'd have acknowledged them to some extent, but he also understood what Solara surely did understand as well, that nothing inspired subjects more than an air of bravura, and putting oneself on the line for violence was an act of love of the noble for their people, who made sacrifices for their ruler on every other occasion.

The game was on, and off to a rocky start apparently, but the Count hoped to change the tide by providing the leadership. The rally was immediate. The team scored spectacularly, and before the opponents could discern what supreme tactics had defeated them, it scored again.

As was expected, the anger of the other team focused on the Count now, but he could take some shake-up with dignity.

[3 Strain]

Miyi is next up, helping out by taking the ball after the Count's goals and troubles. She gets no goals herself, but is able to help out with an astounding leaping pass over the enemy team's heads. Though she lands hard for her troubles.

((Miyi suffers two strain, boosts a die for next roller))

Zeno went for Miyi's pass, but it was intercepted right at the goal point. But as the two were coming down from the jump, Zeno looked the opponent in the eyes, moved his hand from behind his back like he was pulling out a weapon, and asked... "Ever wonder how hot a lightsaber is?"

As he swung with an empty hand as though he were about to cut the man down with a saber, he jumps out of the way to dodge, dropping the ball in a panic, allowing Zeno to lightly boot it right through the goal with a laugh. "Idiot..."

Arsele once again found herself with the ball after Zeno's goal. She was more into the flow of the game now, and quickly got the ball towards the opponent's part of the pitch, dodging shocks and flying athletes who were gunning for her. She was blocked from the goal though and looked for someone to finish off her run.

3/13 strain

Hacha is mostly ignored, which is as he likes it. He pops out of nowhere to take his turn running to the ball. However, suddenly noticed he is creamed, leaving the ball unclaimed.

When Hacha loses control of the ball, Zeno breezily hops by retaking possession. "I gotcha pal," he says, giving him a grin, before tripping... And then rolling with it. He makes a few hops between hazards before running the ball to the goal in a one man play, which leaves him excited rather than winded.

Inspired by the Count's inspirational presence and Zeno's hard work, Garth stepped up to the plate and really gave it his all. He dominated the pitch for a period of minutes, dodging between opponents and capitalizing on their mistakes, eventually, by the time his adrenalin ran down, he'd added two more scores for his team.

Team TEAM leads 6 goals (0/4) to Organa Oompas 0 (1/2)

The Organa Oompas kicked off straight to Miyi and she charged straight up the pitch, just before she came in contact with the opposition, she hurled a long range bomb straight over everyone's heads and the klaxons erupted as it sank into the back of the net.

Another goal for Team TEAM!

The Count saw a moment to press the advantage and rally the team for another offensive, but he was swarmed by the defenders. While he saw a pathway to turning it around, that would require some foul play he didn't want to condone. Sometimes winning was all that mattered, but it wasn't such a case.

He made a point by drawing off some opponents and avoiding their shots.

Hacha tries to keep his head on a swivel, even if he isn't that capable himself, but to offer word to his teammates.

"There!" After the goal was scored the Oompas had begun to get lazy, seeing the large lead against them. Hacha moves in front of the only lead blocker, getting a hefty dose of current for his troubles but tying him up and opening a path.

"I made a hole! Go!"
