Thread: THP: The Dividing Line (Start-Up)

"Yes. Perhaps we should, I dunno, play a game or something?" Infinity's eyes gleamed, almost childlike.

"What kind of game?" June asked her leader.

"I am unsure. Any ideas?"

"We could play a sport."

"Certainly. Which one?"

"How many of us are there total?"

"Hundreds, all across this ruined city. Five of us are present, though."

"We could do basketball with two-on-two. Ephraim would be the referee since well he can't dribble."

"She's right."

"Very well. Azalea is with me, and Ava with June."

Ephraim and June got into their positions.

Ozias was floating around in the top layers of the atmosphere with Psychic. It was excessively windy up there. He looked down at the clouds. He'd never managed to do this before. It amused him in a strange, child-like way. It's been too long since I've been a child, he thought.

It was a particularly large cloud he'd broken through to get up here. He took a moment to note the fact that he was completely drenched. He opened a container. Generally, this container was a vacuum, and he had no idea how much he would screw it up by filling it with nothing but air.

He closed it again after a few seconds and began to fly down to the ground. He had to do that more often, it was rather relaxing. That was something Ozias needed at the moment.

Sophia walked up to Laura. "How're you finding things?"

Infinity grinned slightly. "I've got a better idea... Why not compete with our enemies?"

"I guess we'll have to toss in Ephraim then since it basketball is teams of five normally but sounds perfect," June said floating into the air.

Ozias set the container down on a table in Lab 1. "Okay. Now where's the... Aha!" He attached the container to a machine and flicked a switch on the it. The machine turned on, but its screen was filled with zeros and ones. Binary coding. "Aw, it's broken. We can't have that. Let's see..."

"Not basketball." With a wave of Infinity's hand, merely for dramatic effect, the psychic shield went down around Snowpoint's stadium. "I want them to know where we are. This will certainly be enjoyable. Eek!"
