"I think you guys need to get together for some long...hard...football."

Aesford slams the pigskin onto the table.

[SOLDIER First]

"No! What-- what IS football? What are you talking about?!"

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"That's hardly polite, Eirika. Even if the comment was uncalled for.

Football is a game, if I recall correctly, involving two groups and a leather ball being thrown around. Of course, our histories tell nothing more bar scraps..."

[SOLDIER First]

Eirika.. ignores Mio?!

[TheBiggerFish]

Mio's tone was joking. Alanis seems to be overreacting.

((If it was joking, you should have said.  Because her reaction would have been different.))
Much neutral expression.

"Oh, wow.  I thought Japan has football teams in 2015 though..."

[USEC_OFFICER]

"I think you guys need to get together for some long...hard...football."

Aesford slams the pigskin onto the table.

((...

Now I'm wondering what position Motya would be if they were to play football. They're big and slow, but with long reach and a sturdy base so it's not obvious to me. I hope you're happy.))

Aesford gets up on top of the table. "There was a time when humanity was reduced to its basic state of nature, when only plague and death ruled over the continents. Then came football, a simulation and homage to the epic battles that came before our time, all condensed into a sport that tests the limits of your endurance and power, both physically and mentally, but most importantly the power of teamwork and friendship on a grass battlefield. To my people, it is much more than a game."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Perhaps I'll just...See if I can get the wiki page...."

Yyyep?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

((it was by design))
Mio frowns slightly.
"That just reminds me of what our world lost."

[TheBiggerFish]

"I agree..."

[Twi]

The Primordial looks decidedly unimpressed by games of war. Not her style.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"The football our world lost was more a test of sportsmanship and spirit than a homage to battle."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Ours was mostly highly overpaid and overhyped lunks running around hitting eachother.  And there was a ball too.  You really aren't missing out."

[TCM]

"The football our world lost was more a test of sportsmanship and spirit than a homage to battle."

"I see. Perhaps then, there are other universes where what we would consider as simple sport and past-time form the foundation of society. Worlds that are based around, say, Baseball, or Chess."

"Ours was mostly highly overpaid and overhyped lunks running around hitting eachother.  And there was a ball too.  You really aren't missing out."

"We have those too, but they're called E-Athletes."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Chess boxing."
