Welcome to the Kwa Kikombe, the land of games, sportsmanship, and lots of fun. The pride is official now and, in celebration, Blu Chalk and SilverLutz have decided to throw a little event together for you guys to get in on the fun. Please read up a bit on the pride to know what you're trying for, and keep in mind the rules below. The image above will bring you to the Kwa subform. Have fun and play hard!
Rules 1. All SoA rules apply! This is a no-brainer. 2. There hasn't been much of this as far as we can remember, but please no whining/guilt tripping/abusing other members. We are all friends here! 3. If you have won a previous contest for the Kwa Kikombe or have a SoA in the pride, please limit yourself to entering for just one of the SoA here. We'd like to give opportunities to those that aren't in the pride yet. 4. That being said, those who have no SoA in the pride are welcome to try for all five! You can only win once, though. 5. All SoA won must stay in the Kwa Kikombe unless it disbands. 6. Have fun! There's no limit to what these SoA are like, and with the exception of the two SoA with pre-assigned jobs, you are free to run with them as you see fit.

Finally, our blank slate. She's got no chains to hold her down, she can be anything your heart desires. Just fill out the form and pick a prompt. Your reply doesn't have to be long, a standard 200 word count will do just fine.
Prompt 1: You're a player, any position you'd like. The game winning play is about to happen, and you're the star! Are you going to score the winning goal? Are you going to block the other team's star offensive player to defend your lead? Make it a thrilling buzzer beater!
Prompt 2: Some little squirts have gathered around you to hear your most gruesome, nail biting, high energy story of last year's championship game. Whether you were a spectator, player, medic, or announcer, don't leave out any juicy details for these future stars. Put on a show for them, complete with sound effects and play re-enactments.
Prompt 3: Maybe you're more of the wheelin' and dealin' type. Tell about your favorite recruitment, or perhaps gripe about your players if you're a coach.
Prompt 4: Free verse! Let's hear your own idea.

LLLLLLET'S GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEE Username: Depawsit Name: Paehslee Personality: Paehslee is a very dedicated sportscaster. He lives for the game, and due to his inability to play the game itself he does the next best thing and announces it! Paehslee doesn't just announce the games though, no that would be far too boring! He prefers to make the game as fun as possible, with his booming announcers voice, he does everything he can to keep the audience engaged. Pantomimes, Terrible puns, fake arguments with other casters... you name it and he'll do it. He has absolutely no shame, its all for the love of the game! Outside of his love for the game, Paehslee doesn't have much of a personal life, because all he wants to do is talk about sports! While that's great for the pride he's in ... he's found that most ladies are interested in a little something more. Paehslee also has a booming voice - that he doesn't have to push to achieve. He simply talks obnoxiously loud without even realizing it. You can imagine how well that goes with the ladies.
"MY YOU LOOK LOVELY TONIGHT! ALMOST AS LOVELY AS THE GLEAM ON A SHINY NEW TROPHY!"
*lady storms away*
"WHAT! IT WAS A COMPLIMENT!?"
History: Paehslee has a love for the game that knows no bounds, except physical boundaries. Paehslee was born into a litter of sickly cubs, and was one of only two survivors. Though he didn't get out so easily ... as was soon discovered Paehslee has a very serious heart/lung disorder that prevents him from doing anything even slightly strenuous. He can't run, he can't play, he can't even get upset! It was discovered that as he got older, the more physically active he became the sicklier he got. His mother feared for his health and brought him to a friendly pride who offered to allow their nurses to look over him. To which they discovered a strange correlation between his breathing and his ability to function under low levels of stress.
As a cub his Mother was very overprotective, and hardly allowed him to do anything. But once she passed, he was left to deal with his troubles alone.. Being the semi arrogant lion that he is, he got the idea in his head that his entire condition was make believe. But it wasn't until he found the Kwa Kikombe that he finally decided to test his limits. He went out one day and attempted to join a team, the coach requested the typical try out of him. Laps around the arena.
Simple enough right?
Wrong.
The poor guy hadn't even gotten a quarter of the way along the first half of the track before he fell over onto the ground. Convulsing and unable to breathe on his own. He was rushed to the medics, who care for him as best they could. Though he was very touch and go for a while. Some days, the medics didn't feel he would make it. Other days, they expected a full recovery.
Finally the day came when he awoke, and found himself able to mend on his own once again. His faithful medics gave him ceremonial pats on the back and words of encouragement. But nothing would ever mend the pain in his heart, the pain that he could not follow his passion.
It was on a rainy day, shortly after his medical release that he came across a side game being held by a rivaling team. He shrugged off the weather and decided to watch, the rain would mask the tears he was sure to spread. But then, words began to fill his head ... amazing words of cheer and hilarity! An announcer was taking the game into his own hands and enthralling the crowd with his every word.
Paehslee spent the rest of the game at this side, listening to him more than watching the game. And for every game after that, he was always at his side. Learning his tricks, and one being taken under the great announcer's wing. Where he stayed for as long as the fates allowed. His mentor taught him everything he knew, from terrible puns, to tricks of the trade.
Then the unthinkable happened.
His mentor passed unexpectedly in the night.
Now - the pride is in search of another announcer with the same spunk as the great fallen one.
