The marten bounded over to Katya's side with a fist pump. Not only was he on the same team as the muscular fellow mustelid, but he was also up against the twins, which he had been hoping for and was really looking forward to competing against. Crossing his arms in front of his chest, we winked at either Samuel or Samantha, or maybe both of them - it was hard to tell.
---
Lexy had just sat down on the bleacher, a slight bit away from the rest of the group, when Katya signed to her 'you, come here!' Not having other students immediately beside or behind her, there was no doubt in her mind that she picked her. For what, though? She'd missed what the teacher had said about what game they'd be playing, but the sight of all the balls had the pup wagging her tail excitedly as she trotted over to her team.

Though the wolverine hardly needed to try to intimidate Jacob, she seemed to do so anyway after making her first selection. He tried not to look, but Katya's bulging, flexing muscles were clear as day even beneath the thick layer of fat which, thanks to her chosen attire, made he older teenager even harder to watch. The entire time he could feel his cheeks and ears burning hot with embarrassment. Why on earth was she wearing such an unflattering and form-fitting outfit anyway? It only accentuated just how overweight she was. However if a lot of the mass was muscle hiding beneath those layers of fat, then the rabbit and his team were in trouble. And to add to that growing concern, Katya picked the yellow-throated marten and a canine girl he hadn't seen before.
Jacob quietly analyzed that peculiar decision, in light of the hand signals that had been directed toward Lexy. At least until the twins took up residence on either side of him, grinning and high-fiving each other. The buck couldn't help flinching and hunching his shoulders in such close proximity to the ferret duo. He hadn't forgotten what Samuel did in the bathroom this morning, but this leadership role provided Jacob the opportunity to exert power over the two. Which he did in a hushed, serious tone.
"That'll be enough of that." he snorted at Samuel and Samantha. "I need the both of you to do exactly what I tell you, got it? Do that, and we might have a chance of winning."
With a small sigh, Jacob rubbed the bridge of his snout and readjusted his glasses. Trying to hide just how put off he was by the opponent he'd soon be facing, the teen announced his next two picks. He hardly had to even consider it, as amongst the sea of unfamiliar faces, there were only two he recognized and trusted enough to fill out his team. It was a risky tactic, but he pointed towards the two girls and said, "I'll take Venrosh and Violet too. If that's alright."

Venrosh smiled but then looked concerned "Did I hug too hard?.....If tis true then I am truly sorry if I hurt thee." Venrosh's ears perked up as she heard her name called and then hearing Violets name called she smiled even more. Standing up she walked briskly over to those near Jacob and took a place beside them with a smile as she stretched and twisted then bent down grabbing her toes. She was almost perfectly bent in half as she then laid her palms flat on the floor before standing back up straight with a smile.
Rose sat and as the muscle bound teacher entered the gym, her ears perked up as she noticed him and the cart full of the red cherry balls. As Mr. Reynolds made the rules clear Rose watched as Jacob then Katya were picked by the team leaders.

Katya smirked at first at Jacob's reaction...but then she blinks, furrowing her brow as she looks more closely. Was hr...blushing? At her? Her eyebrows lift for a bit as she does as well - though only a little, and her darker colors hid it, thankfully.
"You, wolf girl." She says, pointing at Rose. "Looks like you're on my team by default. C'mon." She looks her team over; the only one that really gave her any confidence was Eugene. Rose...average, in her eyes. Lexy? Wildcard there. She took a gamble, hoping that it paid off. Dodgeball or not, she didn't like losing!
---
"Relax, kid." Samantha says, dropping into a simultaneous crouch with Samuel, flanking the rabbit. "We actually kick some ass at stuff like this."
"If you want a pair that works together well, it's us."
"Besides, if we wanted to return the nutshot, we'd have done it by now."
"And somewhere we'd have plausible deniability."
The two nod, smirking as they sprang to their feet. While Katya's outfit was exposing unintentionally, the twins aimed to show off as much of their lithe, flexible bodies as they could get away with.
Getting amped up, the two practically bouncing and jogging in place, getting ready for the upcoming game! They both catch Eugene's wink - the two looking at each other again before grinning at him, winking with opposite eyes in return. Samuel shook his hips a bit in his 'warm ups', and Samantha even went as far as to blow a kiss at him!

Venrosh smirked and with a eager sparkle in her eyes she watched as the two teams were selected, she looked at the ferret twins and smiled then looked to the other team then back to Samuel and Jacob and with her Russian accent. " Sooo I am from Zeya soo what are we playing?" her ear perk forward as she watches the two
Rose stands up and bounds down from the upper bleachers to stand with Katya's team. Once there she sizes up the other team and picks out the ones she has to worry about first. She pins the ferrets Samuel and Samantha as top targets followed by the brightly colored Violet. Her gaze then went to Jacob as a target of choice for a slick shot and then she looked at the Russian sounding feline. One ear perked up and with a raised brow she saw her as a dork pretty girl with a need for a ball to her gut.

Violet held her breath as the Teacher was speaking almost turning pale at the Sport of the Day. She hated Dodge Ball and when she heard the team leaders get called she almost was ready to flee the scene completely. However having Venrosh by her kept her calm and she wasn't surprised when she was one of the last people to get called. She wasn't all that strong and while in the air she was quick and could turn almost on a dime on the ground she was not as graceful. Hearing Jacob call her name made her smile especially when she saw that Jacob had also picked Venrosh as well, that must have been one hell of a hug, but the sight of the Twins caused her to blink before shrugging and taking her place with her new Team.
-------------
Mathue nods as the last of the kids were picked and had moved off the bench. "Alright. lets go over rules of the game. First if your hit your out, be that tail or, in the case of one of you, wings however if your hit and one of your team mates catches the ball before it hits the ground your safe. If you throw the ball and it is caught your out, If you have a ball in your hand and it's knocked out of your hand and hits the floor your also out. Finally the only way to get a team mate back in is to catch a ball thrown by the opposing side. Now unless you have any questions Team Katya your on the far side of the court. The half court line will separate the two team and if I see you cross the line your out."

Eugene didn't waste any time in starting to warm up. He bounced, as if to a beat that played in his head, from on paw to another, then on both paws, then from side to side. That was followed by a series of arm and leg stretches, a wide-legged forward bend, and then a squat with his toes pointing outward and elbows resting on his knees. It looked like he'd done something like this before, perhaps even for a specific sport.
Lexy was busy concentrating on the teacher's mouth. He was so tall, and his face so far from her, that she had to squint her eyes to see clearly. She hadn't expected that she'd need glasses for this class, so she left hers in her bookbag back in the locker room. But she got the most important part: catching balls! Smiling, she wagged her tail in anticipation. The both of them looked like they were ready to begin.

As she stretched and warmed up Rose moves closer to Eugene " I'm thinkin the twins will be trouble being so flexible and such...So what do you think get them while there are others on their team to slow them down. " she looks at Eugene with a sly almost mean glimmer in her eyes "Or clear the field and leave them last?" she asked in a hushed tone to him. Her tail wagging as she went back to looking at the other team members.

Violet stays put as she watches the other team walk to the other side of the Court. Moving over to where Mathue was before reaching up and pulling on his sleeve. "Excuse me...but as long as I don't break the rules do I have to stay on the ground?" She asks her voice low.
---------------------
Mathue had moved over to where the balls were stored when he felt his sleeve get tugged upon. Seeing the Gryphon that he remembered as Violet he turned to face her listening to her question before raising an eyebrow. "No I guess not but don't hurt yourself either." He tells her.
---------------------
Violet smiles at and nods before quickly heading back to her team...maybe she'd not be so useless after all
---------------------
Mathue just shakes his head and moves to center court before starting to place four balls along the very middle line. "All right then are both sides ready?" He asks once more on the side lines.

Katya rolls her head, neck popping audibly. She looks down at Jacob and over his team, placing her left hand in her right palm, loudly popping her knuckles before doing the same with her right. As she looked them over, she began to assess threats. Jacob was small, not very strong - but he'd likely be quick, and a hard to hit target. However, she had friggin' wings. The cat seemed...average, to her. Though Venrosh is kind of lanky and a feline, she she wasn't as high priority. The twins. Oh boy, the twins...they were going to be slippery. Violet first, then the twins, then Jacob, and finally Venrosh; that was the order Katya was putting together in her head as she moved into position.
"Bird first, then the weasels." She grumbles to her teammates, rolling her shoulders as she crouched, ready to sprint for the ball as soon as the whistle was blown. Seems she wasn't as self-conscious about her attire now that she had something to focus on!
---
"Lookin' good, Gene.~" Samantha commented, giggling a bit. "Let's hope that body can do what we think it can, or we're gonna be sorely disappointed~!" She winked and blew a kiss, turning on her heel and darting back!
"You might be another hairy noodle, but we're the noodles! Good luck trying to nail one of us on the court." He says, snickering as he rushed back to his sister.
"As fun as that may be!"
"If it weren't for the teachers!"
The two laugh together at their own banter, grins on their faces. Despite their lackadaisical attitude, the two still belonged to a predatory species - and they were a far more flexible species of mustelid than the opposing team's leader. Still, they didn't wanna get hit by her, so they made the mental note to keep a special eye on her. Maybe they could use Violet's flight to their advantage there; her bright plumage and ability to fly would make for a great distraction....

Once he had his teammates selected, Jacob had already begun to analyze each one like he was judging his next move in a chess match. If he had been, certainly he would've had better pawns still remaining to work with. Instead, half of his team was composed of trouble-makers. The other half he'd only met a few hours ago for the first time. Still, he trusted Venrosh and Violet a heck of a lot more than the twins, just by default. And by the looks of it, the feline was quite limber and eager to proceed. In the brightly coloured cross-breed's case, though, the buck had no basis for skill assessment. He's never even met a hybrid before, so he couldn't even begin to determine which inherent traits carried over from whatever two species that had interbred.
The only thing he knew for sure was that Violet had wings, and they weren't vestigial. So she could fly, which wasn't against the rules as they'd been stated. There was no doubt in his mind that she would make an ideal distraction. And her size alone, not including her wingspan, made her an easy target as well. But Jacob was already generating solutions to these foreseen problems. All that remained were the wild cards; he unruly pair of ferrets that, despite their reassurances, continued to make lewd and suggestive comments towards the marten on the other team. The rabbit could only facepalm in silent annoyance, and scanned the opposing players for weaknesses. Unfortunately, in doing so, he observed Katya's intimidating stance and preparatory 'flexing'.
A small shiver ran down Jacob's spine. This was a ridiculous match-up, pitting the buck's superior mind against those superior... m-muscles! He'd get creamed in an instant by a single throw from that brute of a girl. Which was why it was absolutely necessary that her focus be diverted. No matter how he tried to boost his inner ego with thoughts of successful scenarios, Jacob couldn't hide a quiver as he spun around on one heel and retreated to the other side of the court with his teammates, deep in thought until he had them within hearing range.
"O-okay, listen up," he said with a squeak. Clearing his throat, he tried again: "There's no way we'll win by brute force. Not with that, uh... Katya on the other team, sooo..." He looked up at his teammates, trying to get their attention and gather them closer. "I know this is just a dumb game of dodgeball, but I'm certain we can win if we all work together and stick to the plan I've devised. Namely... Violet. I need you to run distraction on the other team. Draw their attention and their fire. Samuel and Samantha, we are going to provide defense. Protect her at all costs. That leaves Venrosh on offense; just keep throwing balls at the other team and don't get hit, okay?"
Just as he finished, the gym teacher called for the players to ready themselves. Jacob sighed loudly. "Let's get this over with... I really don't wanna die today..." The last part he muttered as he took a position on the gymnasium floor. Not that he expected to be mortally wounded, but experience said that getting hit repeatedly by dodgeballs often led to bruises.

Venrosh moved with Jacob and the other teammates to the far end of the gym where she noted how everyone was moving. She looked across the gym at the others and then raised a brow as her keen ears heard Jacobs words. She placed a paw on Jacobs shoulder and looked at him with a reassuring tone in her voice "Fear not my friend Jacob, thou shall not die in this..." she then smiled a rather toothy smile to him then ruffled his fur slightly as she stood there and looked to the teacher. "I am ready."
Rose was stretching and watching Violet and taking note how big her wings were, then her gaze went to the ferrets and she smirked. Her gaze shifted to Venrosh when she heard the feline declare her readiness. She soo wanted to beam that girl in the gut now, she would have rather gone after the ferrets first or the emo goth pretty girl but boss said Violet first so the targets were picked. Rose got into position across from the ferrets and with butt in the air she looked more like she was getting ready to run a sprint race in track as she was ready and waiting for the start.

Mathue walked to the side line and picked up the whistle hanging around his neck and placing it against his lips. "On your mark...get set..." With that he blows it signalling the start to the first match.
----------------
The moment the whistle blow Violet took off...in the opposite direction getting out of the way of the faster people on this team as she got a running start before spreading her wings and flapping them taking her airborne. Thanks to the rules as long as Violet didn't touch the ground she wouldn't get called for crossing the line.

As the sound of the whistle Rose takes off at a sprint towards the the balls the teacher placed on the middle line, he aim is to get to the closes to her and scramble back wards enough to get some distance between her and the other team. She see's Violet going up at once and keeps Katya's plan in her head of who are the first targets.
Venrosh blinks and looks about as many of her fellow students take off running towards the middle of gym towards four red balls placed on the flood. Confused as to why she stands there watching them. She then looks to Violet and finds she is gone, hearing wings she looks up and notices Violet has taken flight. "Uhh..?" she begins to say

Even though he'd seemed more playful earlier, Eugene was now ignoring the twins' coquettish behavior completely, taking on a serious look as he focused on his objective. When the whistle blew, he dashed for one of the red balls, intent on getting his paws on it first.
---
On the other hand, there was Lexy, who of course couldn't hear the whistle, and looked about in confusion when her teammates took off in the direction they had just come from. Wagging her tail languidly, she decided to just keep an eye out for balls, which were luckily hard to miss with their bright color.
