011 - hey hey hockeytown!

[whatwolverines]

[Post-Superbowl might be a lull in sports for some. Most sports don't restart until it warms up. However, post-Superbowl time begins what Griffin considers to be the most crucial time in the great wide world of sports. The hockey season begins to fall into the greatest time of all: the Playoffs. Now, the Playoffs don't start until April, but that doesn't mean it's too early to get excited. Not to mention, for a state team who has a wonderful habit of winning the Stanley Cup, it is never too early to get excited.

To express said excitement, Griffin has found a frozen-over pond, to which he has transformed into a small makeshift rink. Clad in his favorite jersey and his helmet, he skates around in a warm-up. If anything, at least people can't make fun of him for not being athletic for the next few months.]

[since her past time is wandering, tallulah easily stumbles on him skating around on the frozen pond. she raises her eyebrow at the arena choice, waiting for a little while before bothering to ask her question.]
You sure that isn't a hypothermia inducing choice?

You kiddin'? Hypothermia is the las' thing ya'd get from playin' hockey.

[bawlmer.livejournal.com]

I meant falling through the ice, actually. [she runs a hand through her hair, scratching idly at the hidden undercuts.]

You're pretty good at skating though. I would've knocked myself out by now..

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Oh, no worries. This pond's frozen through. []

And thank ya! I've been practicin' a long time. Ya ever skate?

[bawlmer.livejournal.com]

Nope. The only time things froze up long enough for that to happen on a pond was last year and I wasn't going out in ten foot drifts to fall on my ass and die.

Not to mention it's sort of intimidating when snow is double your height.. [she sighs. oh the trials of being a short shit. she blames mary.]

Sucks for ya. I don't think there's been a single year tha' I didn't go skatin' somewhere. But, y'know, northern state n' all.

[bawlmer.livejournal.com]

Well I mean, Maryland isn't exactly Florida... [she shrugs though, close enough, as far as states that get snow go.]
I'm Tallulah, by the way. [the would offer her hand but, well..]

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, gotcha. Guess ya could call me a Way Up North state, then.

[]

Griffin. Lower Michigan. Nice t'meet ya.

[bawlmer.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm the city of Baltimore. [she smiles.] Probably already knew that, but..
[she shrugs. it's a likely assumption these kinds of days.]

Anyway, I'm guessing you play a lot of hockey.. ?

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Heard of ya b'fore.

[]

Yep! I live and breathe it! Kind of like how much Gabe, or more like Alan, likes football.

[bawlmer.livejournal.com]

Green Bay? Man, I still need to give that kid something for smashing the Steelers. [sighing.] Haven't felt well enough though, but who knows if I can find him now.

I thought hockey was only for toothless Canadians, though. [but her smirk clearly states the sarcasm.]

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's a good kid. Insane as expected, though. An' I'm sure th'only reason ya can't find 'im is 'cause he's still sleepin' off the Superbowl. Give him another month and he'll be fine.

[]

Nah, the toothless Canadians live next t'me. The wors' one lives righ' next door. An' I have all my teeth. []

[bawlmer.livejournal.com]

Still.. ? Jesus. [says the person who only started eating healthier in an attempt to feel better. she smiles despite herself, laughing a little.]

I was bein' sarcastic.

[talktodahandeh.livejournal.com]

Tha's Green Bay for ya. Or more like, tha's every city Gabe has. They're all a little off, y'know?

[]

Well, be as sarcastic as ya'd like with the Canadians.

[she snorts softly, she could say the same for herself and all of mary's cities, but their reasons for being completely fucked are much more obvious to her than other states, so she decides to keep her mouth shut for this very moment.]

I dunno man, not very fair considering a lot of them can't seem to make it past Pennsylvania. Not that I'm complaining, really. [a shrug.] I'm still trying to figure out how you haven't died on those things yet.
