((ooc: this log is gonna be used for a few practice sessions, as well as a practice game and other such things! Iwaizumi will be sharing his knowledge with everyone and acting as a coach of sorts until the practice game, so feel free to use the TLs to interact with him, or make your own TLs under the sections to start your own threads with your teammates or others participating! also, if you are not a player but want to be in the audience or are playing another role, feel free to make TLs reflecting that! everyone is welcome (walk/ins included!) If you have questions or want to plot, feel free to add me on Plurk at pantheraliam))

[ Thankfully, Turing was not in any big hurry to put themselves in a situation where their screen could crack open like some kind of horrifying, electronic egg. Granted, it also wouldn't be the end of the world since their face was really more of a shell, but the head underneath that blue orb was...not nearly as cute. ]

I see, so it's a colloquialism about self-improvement! [ They couldn't build on the strength they already had in the same way, but if they were going to be helping with coaching, that saying seemed like it was going to be helpful in some way. ]

Is there a way I can use my own strength to help the others in that regard?

[bluecastleace]

Sure. [Iwaizumi shrugs a bit.] Simple encouragement helps more than you’d think, you know. And we talked a bit about those simulations you run.

You think if you learned some strategies you could figure out what works best? [He smiles a bit, and his expression takes on a mischievous look.] Only for our team, of course. We’d be doing it on our own anyway.

[begetblue]

Would that constitute an unfair advantage while everyone is still learning?

[ Iwaizumi's mischievous look definitely made them consider that possibility, but on the other hand, that also sounded like it was part of making strategies as a coach. Hmmm. ]

I would still like to learn more about proper volleyball strategies, though.

[bluecastleace]

Well, not when everyone’s still learning. I’m talking about once the league is in some real competition. We’ll have to get more players before that can happen.

Wouldn’t hurt to start studying them now is all, like you said.

[begetblue]

[ Turing immediately brightened at that caveat. Iwaizumi's sportsmanship was admirable! ]

Could you teach me while everyone is practicing?

Shall we wrap this up soon? C:

[bluecastleace]

Sure thing. [He smiles.] I’ll teach the others too, so give my speeches a listen, and you’ll learn plenty but watching too.

works for me!

[begetblue]

Then I will look forward to hearing them!

[ Yay, learning new things! They weren't so excited that they couldn't sit still, but it also helped that they were also learning by watching everyone practice. ]
