11 - Game of Two Halves

[Filtered away from people who've murdered since Slater's arrival (November)]

Right. Football. That game where you use your foot to move the ball about, not that American nonsense where your foot hardly touches the bleedin' thing. [How can you in good conscience even call it that, people, really?] Any one you lot know how to play?

[OOC: If you fear that you can't remember or it was under wraps for whatever reason, feel free to have Slater either forget/not know about it.]

Nor do I, but I follow our teams in the paper back home. Which is Canada, by the way. 1897.

[The new information is greeted with disinterest.] Hockey good back then?

[George just thinks Slater is being a good listener.]

Terribly exciting. I think we have a shot against the Ottawa club for Lord Stanley's cup.

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

[Still uninterested.] Brilliant.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Very much so! Perhaps we could get some sort of cup to compete at football for here. I'm sure the kitchens could spare one.

Tell you what, why don't ya talk to Loki about that? He's my warden. [Best case scenario, Loki is bewildered and annoyed. Worst, Slater is not. Win, win!]

Oh, no, I wouldn't feel right, sir. It's your game, and we haven't got to play for anything if you wouldn't like.

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Like I said, it was 'is idea, maybe 'e would, you know?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Do you think he would?

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wouldn't like to speak for him.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Well I'd certainly like to play either way.

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Ok. It's tomorrow.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I'll be there.

...Where is there?

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

That'd be the CES.
