[rita... Manwol grins at this, because she's a gremlin.]
That's pretty much it, honestly. See the pins at the end? If you knock them all out, then you get a strike. Whoever gets the most strikes ends up winning.
[she hefts up her ball... it's hard because of her nails, but it's fine.]
But if winning's not the point, then you can just roll the ball.
but her grip is absolute garbage. it slips out of her grasp a little early, thunks heavily against the floor, and deposits itself straight into the gutter.]
[i literally asked the mods if she could be this mean]
Fair enough.
You probably wouldn't want my cooking, so... what if I help you with an extra credit assignment in return? No matter wh... [a pause, she gives it a second thought, but continues] No matter what it is.
[me checking the height chart and realizing that rita is shorter than manwol,
Manwol will graciously accept that shoulder, in that she'll lean on Rita heavily like she lost her leg in the bowling war all the way to the health office,]
So are you really bad at bowling, or were you just pretending earlier?
I've definitely never bowled in my life. But yeah, I wasn't exactly trying to do it well. Honestly, just wanted to get the dumb task over with quickly.

I have to do a round with someone for extra credit. Would you mind? I'll make it up to you later.
no subject
Sure. It's a deal then.
[she'll head on over to the lane next to Rita's,]
Do you know how to play?
no subject
[she picks up a bowling ball... and is thrown slightly off-balance, it's clear that she didn't expect it to be that heavy.]
no subject

[does rita HAVE to win]
no subject
[she tries to throw the ball!
but her grip is absolute garbage. it slips out of her grasp a little early, thunks heavily against the floor, and deposits itself straight into the gutter.]
This game sucks.
no subject
You can't just say that it sucks because you're bad at it.
[Manwol says, then she revs her arm up to throw the ball...
and it shoots off..................
straight into the gutter, wow.]
no subject
[rita picks up another ball, frowning. are they going to hit any pins? does it even matter if they do?]
no subject
[manwol says, after throwing another gutter ball.]
Should we keep playing? This is for your assignment, right?
no subject
Yeah, I'm pretty tired of this already, but...
[the ball return machine (is that what it's called?? god) doesn't return a ball right away, so she holds out a hand.]
Hey, can you hand me one of the balls from your side?
i can't believe rita is gonna kill her
Manwol raises an eyebrow and then picks up a neon pink ball from her side to hand over to Rita,]
yeah surprise, they're gonna find manwol's body here tomorrow morning -- no
or it looks like she took it...
but the second it leaves manwol's hands she just fucking drops it on manwol's foot.
i'm sorry.]
IM LOSING MY SHIT 1/2
no subject
-- Ow?!??! What the hell?!
[SHE'S CURSING!! AND ALSO HOPPING ON ONE FOOT!!! she hops on over to one of the benches so she can sit down, still shrieking because manwol is loud]
no subject
[... !?
...
she looks really guilty!?]
... sorry...
no subject
[Manwol just like 'WHAT?' as she sits on the bench,]
I almost broke a heel! And my foot! [wonder which one is more important to her,]
no subject
[thanks to nice week, the guilt is hitting her extra hard and she absolutely deserves it.]
Like I said, I'll make it up to you.
no subject
there's something very unsatisfying about yelling at someone who's already looking so guilty, wow.]
...I only accept apologies made in food or favors. [...] I suppose I should be grateful that you didn't throw the ball at my face.
no subject
Fair enough.
You probably wouldn't want my cooking, so... what if I help you with an extra credit assignment in return? No matter wh... [a pause, she gives it a second thought, but continues] No matter what it is.
no subject
Manwol looks at her for a moment, then nods.]
...I'll hold you to that, then.
[she flaps a hand at her]
But first, help me to the infirmary.
no subject
All right. Sure.
[she'll come over and offer a shoulder.]
no subject
Manwol will graciously accept that shoulder, in that she'll lean on Rita heavily like she lost her leg in the bowling war all the way to the health office,]
So are you really bad at bowling, or were you just pretending earlier?
no subject
I've definitely never bowled in my life. But yeah, I wasn't exactly trying to do it well. Honestly, just wanted to get the dumb task over with quickly.
no subject
[Manwol says, despite having been ATTACKEd by rita,]
I think some people would relish having a task like that. They'd love the excuse to be mean without taking responsibility.
no subject
... Guess it was pretty tame compared to some of the other assignments people have been getting, though.
no subject
I had to kiss someone I hated. That was pretty hard. It's not like I know anyone well enough here to really hate them.
[is that the problem]
