The New Sensation

"I meant to do this a while ago, but..." *COUGH COUGH* "...I'll talk about the delay with the other report. This one is about something fun."
 
"Apparently, there's a new sport called Web Ball, that came out of nowhere. A few of the crew ended up as one team, taking on a bunch of others. I wasn't sure about it at first, but I had to support Lio, and Seth, and Quet, and... Zacna, I think? I don't think I've worked with him before. They started off against the Warpletingers, and it was a tough battle, but they won. I think. I'm still not really sure how it works.
 
"The next one was... well, Parliament. My old bosses on the field, doing their standard work with their standard tricks. Still tough as hell to watch them - the people I used to work for, the people who taught me so much, who used to run the whole city - doing that, even making a push that broke Lio's arm? I'm just glad I was still together enough to stop Midnight from rushing the field after a couple of the stabs." *cough*
 
"I'm just gonna move on. The last one was King Reedi, his wife, and some friends. The crew was getting beaten up, hard, but eventually they figured something out, and made it some sort of a practice match after halftime. It really took off there, as both teams did some really amazing stuff. I was rooting for the crew before, but after that last bit, I could see myself getting into this for real. I'll have to keep an eye out for when some of these other teams play again."
 
*cough* "Just... just not Parliament, though. No way could I handle that."
