I'll flag your football [video forever]

[usskickass]

[Beiste pops on the screen, her expression initially serious.]

So. This place has been kind of a drag lately, huh?

[She brightens, holding up a football suddenly.]

Well, not anymore. I've got a pigskin and a ballroom that need a bunch of squealin' kiddies playing flag football like some hyperactive Mexican jumpin' beans with a death wish.

Who wants to play some flag football up in here?

A game? How do you play?

[It's been far too long since Aang has had a chance to just let loose and play around.]

[usskickass]

I'll do some demos beforehand, I guess. But basically your team is trying to get the ball and move it across the field, and if you get your flag taken you're out.

[Wow that made no sense at all, the narration said. Maybe the narration should be more familiar with football if she's going to play a football coach. Whoops.]

[Audio]

[aangairnomad]

Cool! It sounds like fun! Count me in!

[Little does Aang know that bending isn't going to be allowed. No matter, he's quick on his feet, but is he quick enough? I guess he'll find out!]

[ She forgot what flag football was but who cares! She is in. ]

Yes.

[usskickass]

Heh. Awesome. You wanna start up one of the teams? I'm thinkin' red and blue.

[spacetier]

[ Oh what a hard decision! But Jade is sure she was going to be on the red team last time they tried playing games. So she can't abandon it now.

RED 4 LYF! \m/ ]

Can I be on the red team?

[itsahotone]

That's super offensive.

[...She says as she paints her nails.]

[usskickass]

[What? She has to...think back over that.]

...Are jumping beans not Mexican? To be honest I've only seen 'em in Warner Brothers cartoons. Sorry if that was out of line, Lopez.

[itsahotone]

Wow, that's not stereotypical at all.

[Pause.]

I'm kidding, I don't really care.

[YEAH LETS PLAY FOOOTTBALLL. What is that? Who cares, let's play it.]

If you can teach me, sure.

[usskickass]

Don't worry, I'll explain it to everybody. Chances are it'll be a bit of a mess anyway, but that isn't really the point.

[She smiles.]

I don't think I know your name, though. I'm Shannon Beiste, by the way.

[reckless_eagle]

Like, what's that thing?

[usskickass]

[???

Oh, the ball.]

It's a football! Kind of a big deal where I came from. It's a sport.

[sinkships]

Am I correct in assuming that I am the referee?

[You and your delicious little ball of cocoa-leather better hope she is, Beiste!]

[usskickass]

That's right, Glarey.

[You have a nickname. That is a good sign.]

[epiccombo]

You bet I'm in, Coach.

[usskickass]

Sounds good, Puckerman. You wanna run one of the teams?

[Audio]

[stealsluck]

What's flag football?

[She probably won't be welcome anyway but it's not going to stop her asking]

[usskickass]

It's a sport. A game. One team tries to get their ball over the line, the other tries to stop them. I'll do a better explanation when we're altogether, though.

There's gonna be two teams. Which one d'you wanna be on?

[Well, you have Max's attention. He hasn't played since the last time he was at school, and that feels like forever ago now.]

I wanna play!

[He's bouncing and raising his hand like he's waiting to be called on in class. Pick me! Pick me!]

[usskickass]

Alright, alright! What color do you like better: red or blue?

[last_liar]

I'll play. I need to learn how anyway, right?

[usskickass]

That's right, kiddo. What team do you wanna be on? Red or blue?

[turn4bout]

Calling red team!

[usskickass]

I figured. You wanna be team captain?
