A Time to Chill
"Pass the pretzels." Mason murmurs to Alex, his eyes transfixed on the hockey game on tv. By all rights, Jordie should be present, given the teams playing, but he'll have to settle for the DVR.

	Alex just raised a brow at the demand. "So who's playing now?" he asked. Purposefully not passing the pretzels. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	When pretzels do not come soon enough, Mason starts reaching in the direction he remembers the bowl being, groping blindly. "Toronto vs Montreal. Very important stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You could say please," Alex chided. "Is this a championship game or something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, right. Sorry dude, I was distracted. Please pass the pretzels." He nods. "Not quite. Eastern Conference Finals. About as big a deal as you can hope for for these two going head to head, since they're in the same conference." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex tilted his head. "Already? Didn't the season just start?" Alex asked as he passed the bowl of pretzels. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They sped up the schedule after the lockout held things up." Mason explains, nodding his head in thanks as he receives the pretzels. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Huh. I thought they just shortened the schedule and playoffs will be at the same time. Guess I heard wrong." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's a train wreck, but it's sorting itself out." Mason nods. "You following any team in particular?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm really not into sports," he said. He shrugged. "Sam and I played football and hockey when we were younger, but I don't follow professional sports." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I see. Anything you do follow in particul-- HAH! TAKE THAT, LOSER!-- in particular? Sorry about that. Good hit." Mason explains his outburst, pointing to a Canadiens player trying to regain his feet after a collision. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not really," he answered. He grabbed a handful of popcorn and popped it into his mouth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hmm." Mason ponders for a moment or two, following the game. "Hey, after this, you wanna play some videogames? I picked up an NES and a bunch of old games on eBay last week. Keep meaning to hook it up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2013-02-19 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure. Never really played any before." There were a lot of things Alex never did that most guys his age did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2013-02-19 07:10 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, Mason kind of guessed that. A short while passes in comfortable relative quiet, occasionally punctuated by an outburst of Mason's. "Do you know how to ride a dirtbike? I've been looking for a third for a relay race coming up in the spring. Jordie and I were going to go in with an old friend from Kitchener, but he broke his leg about a week ago."

	"Yeah, I know how to ride," Alex said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	got_the_touch 2013-02-20 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Sounds like a plan then. I'll let Jordie know, and we'll grab you a bike and gear in the next week or two and start tuning it." Mason grins in anticipation, eating his snacks with more fervor as the hockey game intensifies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2013-02-21 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay," Alex said. "Sounds like it could be fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Dude, it's gonna be awesome. Oh! I should design us a team uniform! On top of that even, I bet we could get some sponsors to make charity donations. This is gonna be the first big competition Jordie and I have gone in on in a while, and we kept the Alpha Flight thing downplayed. But if there's THREE of us..." A grin stretches Mason's face. "Oh I've got plans, dude."

	Alex just raised a brow. What exactly did he get himself into? (Reply to this)(Parent)
