Calvinball: Referencing the Source Material
Oscar watches the wall while he celebrates. (3)He is distracted momentarily by the mindless violence, but manages to pull himself together so he can do an admirable job staring at the wall. Sadly, nothing involving tigers occurs.
Just beside him, Alaric thrusts Macs trousers into the air, declaring a penalty due to a lack of pants! (6) They agree, and take away one of his non-existant points, leaving him at zero still. The judges take objection to how Mac lost his points however, and also detract a point from Alaric! Both contestants remain at zero.
Taking advantage of the pants related chaos, Mac has scaled a flagpole and grabs the U.N. flag from it. (3) He quickly cuts, folds and sews together a set of U.N. trousers for himself. While he sits and admires his new threads, one of the judges notices what he has done. Mac obtains 3 points for his tailorwork, but has 2 points taken away for desecrating an international symbol!
Suddenly, a new challenger leaps into the field. Alexander Kyrby, Marksman Extrordinaire! Upon realizing he detests Calvinball, he lets loose a series of arrows onto the field, (1+1) which enter the air-conditioning system and are cut into soaring debris! (3v1) When the caliber of his mistake is realized, he quickly leaps to the side and escapes being pincushioned by the skin of his teeth!
Meanwhile, down in the under-arena workings, (2+1) Marius tries to lift Feest and lifts him into the air with all his strength. He smashes Feests head into the steel wall, causing a dent to appear in it. Marius smiles. Feest on the other hand, is not nearly as amused. He kicks Marius in the face, causing the massive man to drop him. (6+1) Afterwards, Marius leaps into the air just below the hole, soaring up and out of the hole and out of the artificial gravity zone, like Ivan before him.
Ivan paws through a calvinball rulebook, which is really more of a pamphlet. There is only one thing written there, "CALVINBALL MAY NEVER BE PLAYED THE SAME WAY TWICE". Other then that, there are many doodles of a massive-headed monstrosity declaring Girls icky, especially Susie Derkins.
