...and the opening was grabbed by the tiny Twi'lek, who used her skills to take the play forward.

... Which was caught by Shaisha, who deftly maneuvered past the opposition who didn't catch on that the small pureblood was carrying the ball until it was too late and she skidded over the goal-line to avoid the last few defenders.

Who proceeded to dogpile on her.

It took all of Cole's concentration to bring the ball back into play instead of stopping to helping Shaisha. I shouldn't have let her play, he thought, as if he would have been able to stop her.

His play is solid, landing the Paragons another goal, though he's close to exhausting himself.

Vec totally had this now! He easily scored yet another goal and laid down some covering fire, but was forced to give up a good position as the other team tried to stop him from helping Jo'ren again. They found he was tough as nails though...

Jo'ren tab rings around the other team making them look like suckers (advantage to look cool). The other team couldn't touch him. He was running towards the goal as the whistle blew.

Jo'ren threw the ball into the air and cheered at yet another win!

Shaisha pushed herself up to her feet, groaning heavily at having pushed herself to the limit, but it was a good feeling still when they had won.

"Great play, as always," she grinned, wincing slightly.

Cole moves to help her, if she'll accept it. "Dammit, deviless," is all he says.

Shaisha doesn't turn down the offer of a shoulder to lean on. "Relax, angel-hair," she chuckled, "just been a long day, that's all. Just need to catch a breather."

D9 ME Discipline/Will to regain strain: 2eP+1eA 2 successes, 4 advantage


5 Strain regained. We're good!

Vec kept up his jog to cover the perimeter as the whistle blew and only stopped when he saw the rest of his teammates taking it easy. He stopped and caught his breath.

"Right then, bet they're going to try harder next period...quarter, whatever," he said, not knowing the game was done entirely.

Aphr brushed herself off, moving to high five the team. "Great game as always guys!"

"Actually Vec, we're done. That other team couldn't get back on the field anyway. Look at 'em." He chuckled.

"Great game man, shoulda joined up earlier." He happily high fived Aphr. "So what're you gonna do next Aphr? Sticking around here longer or are you gonna join me and your sis?" His gaze went back over to Shai where Cole was helping her, she was looking pretty done.

"You're going with Moyr?" Aphr was surprised "I'm not staying, that's for sure. Maybe we'll have to take these games elsewhere."

Cole instinctively put an arm around Shaisha, holding it there a moment, and releasing her. He shook his head slightly, fistbumped the big Sith, and offered to shake Vec's hand.

"Not exactly. I meant we're both headed back to the Empire." He wondered where Moyr had gotten to having not heard about her temple expedition for a while.

Galen joined the celebration, shaking, bumping and slapping hands in various ways. "That was fun."

Jo'ren Rath wrote:"Not exactly. I meant we're both headed back to the Empire." He wondered where Moyr had gotten to having not heard about her temple expedition for a while.

"Guess you'll have to wait and see then" Aphr winked, before giving Galen a high five "well played!"

"Huh," he said as he straightened his posture at his mistake. "Figured there was going to be a second wave. That wasn't even close to hard at all."

When congratulations were exchanged, Vec mostly kept to handshakes because that just seemed more appropriate for his age. "Good stuff, everyone."

"Pretty good showing out there, sergeant," Shaisha smirked as she gave Vec's hand a firm grip, since he opted for handshakes. No kissing for him.

"It's fun to let loose with something easy once in a while."

"Yeah," he said after a moment of thought. Challenges were good for getting your share of memories and stories wit battle scars to show off, but he was aware enough to know that it might be bad form to ask one of those. Especially, after Makeb. "A solid win to show that we're still on the up and up. Does the spirit some good."
