These guys were nice, so Val could relax and not feel so out of place. After sitting down, he watched as Fletcher bowled a spare. That was pretty good, "Nice job." Things were looking up, as did Val when he saw another Dragon teammate (PhoenixStar) just arrive. "Hi.." So she was joining in too, cool. "I'm Val.. best of luck to you." Whenever she went that is.

When it wasn't his turn he sat back down by Lucia, his eyes then wandered over to the other lane again, Just what was going on for the other side? That was what Val wanted to know. Hm. He turned back as Ryoma landed in a gutter.. twice. "..It was only the first one." Because 'Nice try' never made anyone feel better.

So who was next? Oh Lucia, okay then. She took down six, Jasmine got nine along with the Owl man. "Nice one.." Val said to just about everyone.

Now whose turn was it? Oh, his again.

Getting up, Val went to take the nearest skull. It was a little heavier than he had last time. He didn't want to look silly going back to exchange it.. so instead he took a few steps..

Release and..

He tripped... dear Merlin, he tripped as the skull flew out of his hands and with a *THUD* landed in the middle of the lane not reaching any of the pins before sliding into the gutter.

Yeah. There was no escaping that along with the heat he was experiencing now.

Getting up, relieved that none of his teeth broke from the face-to-floor contact, he went to pick up another much lighter one.

Now this one wasn't going to mess him up. Taking his few steps, he released the bowling skull down as it headed straight.. straight.. and then all the pins down. Making Val stare hard ahead. "..Spare." So now he could go sit and wait for the heat in his face to leave.
