[QUOTE=Strinka] I’m not going to enforce that rule, but c’mon, the last creative thing was the Hal zombie. [/QUOTE] Hal is a zombie? There’s a zombie on the field? And me, with nothing but a ball? How do you crush the cerebrum of a zombie with nothing but a squishy round object? Rubystreak busts the ball, feverishly bends it until it’s vaguely pointy, all the while deftly avoiding the snapping jaws of the Hal!Zombie, and then jams it right into Hal/Zack’s gaping, hollow eye socket. Hal mutters, “No brains! Grrr! ARgh!” and falls to the ground, dead once again. I then drop the deflated ball, which is covered in sticky black ichor, wiping my hands on Strinka. The ball is then picked up by… ---
