May I propose my idea for a "side chapter" for the ALiP (A Lesson in Practicality) guys: BASKETBALL!
My idea was: Roman and Virgil are fighting over a disneyshirt (or something? Idk) and they decide to play for it with a friendly basketball game (Roman and Virgil have been watching some sportanimes)
Patton is on Virgil's team and Logan is on Romans.
It starts out with a normal game. Virgil surprisingly good and fast, Patton and him are a good team he always passes to him to let him make the points.
Roman is also pretty good, throws hard, he is very sportsy and has good reflexes because of his Prince Charging work. Logan is good with strategy, which has limited effectiveness when the other team has the power of friendship.
At some point it escalates and they start using their powers and is more like a battle royale. Everyone vs. everyone. Logan makes it into a learning experience.
Virgil:
his powers would be kinda unfair if balls thrown in stopped time would count, so they don't. He instead uses them to sorta "teleport" over the feld whenever he doesn't have the ball (rules still sorta apply in stopped time ... Even when there would technically nobody to prove it but Virgil plays relatively nice) but he is reluctant to use his powers anyway, so he mainly counts on his fit body.
Roman:
One could think he has the most useless powers for this competition but he just has to use them ... Creatively. He can charge himself a little bit to keep the other away from him, he can cage (cage because the ball is made of rubber and doesn't take in the electricity) the ball in electricity so the others can't get to it when he has it, whenever Roman's happy his "Luck thing" activates (idk help me here Celery) and he gets the ball on instinct and runs to the best places to win the round (on the other hand, should he become sad or frustrated in the game he's out of luck ) ... And more!
Patton:
he makes some of his Pals appear and plays as a team with .. himself? Yeah. They're playing great together but are not as compatitive as the other three, they make sure the others play nice.
Logan:
He can just throw a bunch of balls with his telekenisis. They put up some rules for him to not let the balls float completely out of range and so on. But Logan makes this friendly battle into an experiment between all of them to use their powers in different ways.
(Ok slight spoilery for Probable Theorem now)
Thomas could be there with them, not to really use or train his powers just to watch (and beeing dragged in as judge) maybe Clyde is there too?
So, yeah, do with this whatever you want @residentanchor
Sorry that I haven't been posting anything the last weeks 😅 I sorta have been taking somewhat of a break of the SS fandom and I still can't promise I'm back fully...
