It was a beautiful, barely a cloud breaking the sky and not even a whisper of wind. A few days of rain had softened the ground and there was a small trail of muddy footprints leading over to where Jack was stood, a black jersey over his torso and a pair of studded running shoes on his feet and an oval shaped ball in his hands. He casually threw the ball from hand to hand before dropping it to the ground swinging back his left leg and chipping it over the crossbar, almost equidistant between the two uprights.
Growing up in New Zealand, rugby had always been a part of Jacks life, from when he was barely taller than the ball to his life in the army, rugby being openly accepted as part of the training. Many hours of his childhood were spent tackling his brothers, and it was just a shame Nathan was flying around at that time. Still, he thought as he jogged over to pick up the ball for another kick, maybe somebody around the barracks would be up for a game.
He took a tee from out of his back pocket and balanced the ball he took a few steps backwards and aimed at the spot perfectly center in the target. With a small grunt he moved forwards and let fly. "Watch it!" he yelled as a group of people walked onto the pitch.
OOC: I'm going to try and set up a game of Rugby for a neutral thread. PuNK has volounteered to mod-mark, but we need players for both teams (15 men per team).
Just thought you should know, if you sign yourself and your NPC's up, you:
Give permission for the NPC's to be used by everybody on the tam for the duration of the match
and
That a small amount of god-modding can be done on you. This is small as in "Jack flung the ball towards David who lept in the grasping it tightly" not actually fully dictating their moves such as "David took the ball and went into a dropkick, powering it towards the 22 line." Just to makesure there are no complaints.
