on seeing the tryout sheets posted around the high school

[weaponxx]

What is lacrosse? I want to try it.

You should! Lacrosse is like...well, it's kind of like hockey? But you play it on grass, instead of ice? It's fun.

[weaponxx]

How do you use the skates?

[dontmccallmyname]

Oh, uh, I guess I should I have said. There's no skates! You just wear cleats.

[weaponxx]

Like football.

[maiditoutalive]

i think its a sport where you hit people with sticks

[weaponxx]

I am very good at hitting people with sticks.

[maiditoutalive]

then it sounds like it would be a perfect fit for you!
you should try it out

[badnewsboy]

Don't hit me too hard, m'lady. I bruise easy.

[weaponxx]

You hit the members of your own team?

[badnewsboy]

No! No, of course not. That was a misplaced joke. Of course you don't. Not even during practice.

[smellslikearmani]

You don't hit people with sticks.. here.

[attached is a link to a video on metube.com. it shows about ten minutes of an average lacrosse match]

We'd love to have you, so you should definitely come to tryouts!

[weaponxx]

I think I can do this. I will be there.

[smellslikearmani]

Cool. Did you play any sports at home.. before you came here?

[badnewsboy]

No stick hitting!

[weaponxx]

I will not hit you with a stick.

[smellslikearmani]

Nope, just tackling!

[alwaysimpure]

I'm curious about that, too.

Do you know what it is yet? Too bad I'm too old for school.

[weaponxx]

It seems to be a sport played with sticks on a grassy field. There is tackling involved. And goals.

[alwaysimpure]

And no one flies, I found that out already.

When are you going to play?

[He wants to improve on this sport a bit.]

i'm going with "kate gets peer pressured to join lacrosse bc so many ppl she knows are there"

[hawkingbird]

Wait, you too, Laura?

[badnewsboy]

Come, join our efforts in tackling and stick hitting! Together we will make all the goals, and send the other team off into the bowels of their high schools, crying of their loss. After, we feast on pizza.

[smellslikearmani]

I don't think there are any other high schools here... but I'd still be down for the pizza afterwards.

[hawkingbird]

I think you might be romanticizing American high school sports teams.

[weaponxx]

Yes. I am looking forward to it.

[hawkingbird]

Well, I guess that settles it -- I'll join up too.
