The game started quickly enough, and Chad was having a pretty fun time! The tall guy on the other team didn't seem to be very dexterous, but he probably just needed some practice - Chad used to be pretty bad at sewing, but he eventually got pretty good at it as he did it more. As the game went on and the ball bounced off of his face a few times, Chad purposefully tried to avoid aiming towards his side of the field whenever he was serving or spiking. He's been hit in the face with balls before, and it usually sucked the fun out of things pretty fast. 

At least Quake was doing pretty good! Maybe she played before, or just had better hand-eye coordination. As the game went on and Chad realized he might be trying too hard for just a fun little game, so he shifted towards a purely supportive role, passing the ball to Starbright and defending. He was probably way better at playing anyways.

Suddenly, as the ball was about to land on Quake and J-somethings side of the net, the ball was grabbed by a new arrival. Chad didn't even notice the new figure on the court until he had already caught the ball, and was a little shocked. Usually people jumping in mid-game was pretty bad etiquette - Chad learned that when he was freshman during a basketball game... 

Then again, he looked friendly enough, and he might have just wanted to play too! Chad could always just take a break and let him have a turn.

[color=greenyellow]"I believe you aren't supposed to let this hit the ground, I'll give you a pass, though. Sorry for interrupting your game. My name is Yousef."[/color]

Chad smiled and waved at the new arrival, finally getting a good look at him. He was very tall (Were most heroes here tall? At least he wasn't like The Shocker) and seemed to have a darker complexion than most. Chad immediately noticed the tattoos all across his body, and was even more impressed - they looked super cool! Chad had a face tattoo, but that was nowhere near as big and Chad cried the whole time because it really hurt. This guy had to be pretty tough to have so many tattoos...

[color=greenyellow]"I'm a hero from Egypt...ah, but no need to introduce yourselves. I'm, of course, very familiar with your work. Well, most of you, at any rate. I look forward to getting to know some of you, but I'm also happy to be in the presence of such hero legends. Starbright! We've heard of you around the globe now...oh, and you must be Ms. Jamie Stewart. Quake."[/color]

[color=greenyellow]"I've read about you in the papers, but you seem even lovelier in person. I'd love to get to know you better. After this game, perhaps? It's always good to spend some...quality time on vacations. Well, I best not interrupt your game any longer."[/color]

Chad was normally incredibly oblivious to most things, but Yousef's words suddenly struck Chad with full force - this guy was hitting on Quake! Woah! He did it just like the movies and was suave like James Bond. By this time, Chad had decided that even if this Yousef guy had a funny name, he was, like, super cool. Not Starbright cool (obviously) but it takes some guts to just walk up and introduce yourself to a bunch of Heroes, right? Chad didn't do that, and he works in the same organization as the others - this guy is from halfway across the world. Maybe he'd hang out with him later and ask who the coolest Heroes in NAEA were. 

[color=greenyellow]"Enjoy your game."[/color]

[color=a36209]"Y-yeah, you too..."[/color]

Chad immediately closed his eyes and bit his cheek in embarrassment. Maybe he wouldn't ask to hang out after all. By the time he opened them again, the Egyptian Hero was already walking away.

[color=a36209]"Man, that guy seemed pretty cool, huh?"[/color]

J-something seemed to whisper something to Quake as Yousef left, but Chad didn't really want to listen in on their conversation (that was rude, right?). Luckily, he turned to address all of them soon enough.

[color=96eace]"Also, if anyone asks, my name is Alex, and I'm new to HERO. None of you have seen my powers yet. No matter what, I'm not a magus, ok?"[/color]

Chad had no clue what a Magus was (A class in Dungeons and Dragons maybe?), but he felt like kind of an idiot. He was calling this guy J-something the whole time when his name was Alex! That starts with an A! And if he's new to HERO too, maybe that explained why Chad couldn't remember him.

[color=a36209]"Ok! I'm not a magus either then."[/color]

Was this that LARPing thing? Maybe Chad should be a Fighter, those sound cool!

[color=a36209]"Should we keep playing? I-I wasn't really keeping score, sorry..."[/color]

Alex seemed pretty upset by something - maybe he didn't want to play volleyball anymore cause he kept getting hit by the ball? That would make sense. Chad once got tackled by Kevin 'Chainsaw' Charles, a 325 pound monster from another school, and he felt like he might have quit football right there. Chad had to go to the hospital after that because he fractured a rib...

[color=a36209]"Starbright, you've probably been to places like this before, right? What's the best stuff to do while on vacation?"[/color]
