Touch Football mega thread
There was a field not too far from Phoenix Effect that was too small for all the various sports leagues in the city to have snapped up for weekend practices or games, but big enough for the fairly flexible game of touch football, so that's where they played. People came and went for most of the afternoon, though the game itself only lasted an hour and change. Almost everyone played, but there were several people watching, choosing to cheer or heckle or talk amongst themselves as it suited them.
When everyone got together enough to actually start the game, they divided into two teams, with Matteo as the referee. Zach's team was made up of Hazel, Max, Hanne, Nori, Nick, Alex, and Oliver; Kyle had Elspeth, Joel, Carrie, Caleb, Irene, Sam, and Elena on his team. It wasn't a blowout, but Zach's team won by a few touchdowns and were crowned the victors. Despite a couple minor accidents, everyone came out of it in one piece. More or less.

“Generous dads,” Nick replied with a low, rumbling laugh. Elspeth was something else.

"They're kind of useless sometimes, actually," Elspeth admitted with a grin. "But I figure between the two of them they can be moderately useful. Just don't let them assemble any Ikea furniture."

Nick laughed. “I’m great at assembling furniture, I got you covered.”

"I am too, it's just hard with anything bigger than me." Which was a lot. "So I'm definitely calling you if I ever get a new tall bookshelf or anything. Actually I might need to go invest in one just to give you an excuse to flex these muscles some more," she teased.
