[Finally, after all this time! Mulder has found that much-desired basketball. He's in luck too, as it's well-inflated, not a sign of wear or tear on it. Too many times, he's come across half-deflated or otherwise messed up ones. But this one is perfect. It's as if there's finally some compensation for all the usual rounds of disappearances and so on. He's really needed this. He starts dribbling the ball right as he leaves the shop and continues bouncing the thing everywhere he goes throughout the day. It can also be heard in the background of his voice transmission.]
Does anyone have any unique birthday traditions they care to share? I wonder how similar these traditions might be between the worlds... Let's just say I'm curious, for purely theoretical reasons.
...By the way, is there anyone out there who'd be up for shooting some hoops or even getting together a pick-up game of basketball? Of course, we'd actually need to throw together a hoop somehow first, but minor details! If you've never played before, I promise I'll go easy on you.

I'm out near C7, and it's true, there's only so much bounding off the side of the building I can do before it gets old. Maybe we can remedy the lack of hoops somehow.
[And figure out what's wrong, but he can be sneaky about getting at that.]
[action]
[C7? Sparrow's on his way. He doesn't usually end journal conversations with too much ceremony---just hangs up on Mulder, essentially, before hitting the road nad heading over to the building.]
[action]
[He's debating ways to improvise a hoop, as he continues tossing the ball and catching it. It might not be so bad, to set up something until he finds a real one...]
GAH MY TYPO ;;
[That seems the most logical course.]
NOT A PROBLEM! XD
Yeah, that's the idea! See, it's probably easier to get the basic idea of, than devising a plundering strategy. [Or... just any other things that pirates do.] It can be played with a larger group of people too, but one-on-one can also be a good workout. The object is to get the ball through the hoop... and try to block the other person from doing the same.

[You might need to explain some of the contact rules, Mulder.]
no subject
No bloodshed required.

We'll decide who gets the ball first. A good way to do that is for us to both take free throws and see who makes it in- or makes the most of those shots if we have to give it a go a few times. [See, Jack, no poking one another with pointy objects needed!]
So standing here, I'll give it a shot. [Mulder aims, throws, and watches the ball go through, then he bounces it in Jack's direction.]
no subject
Right. In through the hoop and all. Your turn?

[More or less. He's pretty use the NBA wouldn't adapt the term "maraud" into its official rules anytime soon but still! He's pretty sure he'll just try and... describe things as they go along, in understandable terms.]
no subject
Right! You shall not stand a chance, Muffy!
no subject
[Yes, he's so going to enjoy this. He dribbles the ball along, putting up a good offense as he moves toward the hoop...]
no subject
no subject
...so now the ball goes to you, since I made it it. Had I not, it'd be up for grabs by either of us.
[You see there IS a lot of thievery of a sort to be had.]
no subject
[Like one of those short basketball players who makes up for their lack of height with speed. Jack dribbles the ball a few times before making his own drive for the hoop. He will try to out-maneuver Mulder, doing his best to get close for a layup.]
no subject
[DEFENSE! DEFENSE! Mulder does a respectable job with the blocking, finding that what Jack might lack in experience, he more than makes up for in unpredictability. That and he's as quick as he'd said.]

It's a way of saying they're really great numbers, if you were on a team you'd wear them on your shirt. An identifying mark while you're all running around playing.
no subject
[Jack tries to dive past the other man's guard and go in for that layup.]
no subject
[A little wry sort of grin at that. Still keeping on that defense, though it looks like Jack's got a good opening for that shot...]?
