Seiken was snoring.

The massive man was laying on his back, sprawled across the bleachers of the large gymnasium- as the sound of a basketball crashing against the polished wax-covered wooden floor filled the air, mixing with the squeak of rubber against wax due tot he sneakers. The practice was usually held outside, the once-spartan like the captain, however, had begun to get lax in the training requirements due to the monster of a Senior joining their team.

The group of four were currently playing two on two, Stephanie and Akihiro against Sebastian and Jason. The large brunette was playing defense, relying on Jason's three-pointers and high jumps to score while he used his height and power to block the shots. Meanwhile, Akihiro and Stephanie were taking a much more patient approach- Akihiro carefully stealing the ball and making multiple passes, working to make sure the ball never got to even half-court as best he could and getting the ball to Stephanie.

The woman used her smaller size compared to the large male brunette, getting in dunks and layups from behind him using her speed and size to the best of her ability. Though it was difficult to catch the man off guard, and when she got too close the complete difference nad size and power was evident. As per usual, no powers were allowed- since in games, the powers themselves were completely nullified with wrist batches. Only powers that relied on one's very life and body, their anatomy, didn't get shut down by the devices.

Enter Seiken, and the reason he was such a monster of a member- and why he was currently, not even bothering to practice.

When the end of the day came, Steven had intended to head back to his dorm and oddly just crash down in bed for the evening. However when he left his last class, he suddenly realised that he didn't have his jacket with him. Thinking back and realising he had left it in the gym locker room from a lesson earlier in the day. It wasn't the longest detour in the world but it was one he wasn't expecting having to make. Pushing his way through the doors of the gym building, Steven started to head to the guys changing room, when he heard the noise coming from the gym floor itself.

Curious Steven headed towards the door, and looked out over the gym floor. Seeing the game of two on two taking place. Watching for awhile, Steven started to notice that the two pairs were balanced differently. So that their strenghs didn't lay in the same places. Not having noticed the member not taking part yet, Steven took a couple steps into the room as an attempt pass interception cause the ball to bounce out wide in his direction. Simply scooping it up Steven threw the ball in a high arc over the tallest boy playing who had started jogging towards him. To the girl that had been struggling to get an oppotunity with the ball pass him, but quickly making use of it by scoring.

"Basketball team? Or just taken over the gym?" Steven asked as the girl scoring from the pass brough the game to a tempory halt as they wondered who was inturputing them. He didn't see a couch and four people didn't make a squad so Steven ended up looking around. It was then that Steven saw the guy laying down. Thinking that the guy had been siting out due to uneven number Steven called out at him. "Hey if i jump in you can make it three on three right?" Steven said loudly so that his voice would carry to the other side of the gym before looking around at the other player to see in their expression how they felt about the idea.

The other team members raised hands in greeting, though Akihiro and Jason didn't smile- they didn't appear rude either, more just annoyed their game had been interrupted. Meanwhile, Sebastian was grinning wide, practically beaming as he answered the question for the team, "Basketball Team! The Northwest Thunderbirds, we're the top Highschool Team!"

Only to get a sharp correction from Akihiro, "Second strongest, Seb." causing the large man to falter and make a face. "The Red Eagles don't count! They're all fuckin' monsters!" Causing a sigh from the captain, before the man walked forward- raising a hand as the ball was passed from the quiet, polite young woman into his hand. Tucking it under his arm he met Steven calmly in the middle, halting about six feet away from him as his head tilted a bit, examining him carefully.

That was when the man offered to join and bring Seiken into the mix, who was currently still waking up- the rhythmic drum of the basketball having halted, causing him to let out a loud, deep yawn. His tired eyes slowly opening to bare slits- as he slowly sat up, and his massive frame- in both bulk and height, blocked out the light over the pair of them as he slowly stood up, "Eh .. I don't have to play do I, Aki ..? I thought you said you wanted to get better on yer' own." he commented lazily, stretching as he stepped off the bleachers- causing them to shake as they rose several inches back to their original position.

The monster of a man calmly walking forward, before his hands shoved into his large hoodie that could act as a blanket for Sebastian, let alone any of the others. His eyes slowly traveled down to Steven as his head tilted lazily, "Who's this ..?"

Steven returned the smiles of the others listening as one of them started explaining who they wer only to be corrected. Though that brought up and interesting question, the school had multiply sports teams that seemed weird, yet strangely logical. Who else could they play on an island with a singular school and unnaturally strong and fast competitors. As if awnsering that though, the man laying in the back got up and Steven eyes widened a fraction as he relised the man size and bulk. Steven while not short looked like a twig in comparison.

The man asked one of the others if he was really going to have to play before asking who Steven was. Steven replied with a small casual salute like motion. "I'm Rosett, Steven Rosett glad to meet you." He introduced himself looking the large guy over. "Why don't you wanna play though. It would be good practise to have to try and get around someone so big surely." He pointed out not the most politely put but Steven doubted that other school teams didn't have someone the same sort of size.

Steven took off his school blazer and tossed it back near the door of the gym so it wouldn't be in the way and smiled. "I mean why show if you're not gonna take part after all." Steven said before starting to slowly strech out his arms, in order to make sure if they did let him join in he wouldn't end up hurting himself.
