Military Log - 005

[Maes is wandering down one of the decks and examining some of the Renaissance stuff. He pauses when he notices a crate with some jester costumes and several colorful balls sitting next to the crate. Clearly these balls were meant for juggling.]

Hmm....I wonder if I can still...

[Maes picks up three of the balls and Cambot swoops back so he can get a clear shot of what Maes is about to do. Maes starts to toss the balls in the air and soon they are going round and round as he juggles them]

Hah! I knew I still had it. [He grins] I forgot how fun this was.

[At last! Some good, wholesome entertainment for all ages! Sam is quite pleased.]

You have quite a good amount of skill! Very impressive.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

[Still juggling]

Thanks! I haven't done this in ages, I'm surprised I still can.

[he looks at the cambot]

Can you juggle, Sam?

[youreallweirdos.livejournal.com]

[And he's still impressed!] I suppose certain skills do not leave easily.

As a matter of fact, I can, at least a little. I too have not done so in quite awhile... [Mostly because he's been stuck with a lot of paperwork on the Muppet Show.]

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

Guess not.

You should come try, I'd like to see how many you can juggle.

[youreallweirdos.livejournal.com]

Aho, that might be a bit entertaining. We shall see if I can still juggle at least a little bit...

[And, he heads off in Hughes' direction!]

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

[Maes catches the balls and decides to wait for Sam to get there. It'll be interesting to see, plus he wants to try juggling more than just the three]

Hey Sam! I was just taking a break. The balls are over there but I saw some other things that might work as juggling material too.

[youreallweirdos.livejournal.com]

[Eventually, Sam joins Maes on the deck. The Cambot is still waiting in front of them.]

Hello there, Mr. Hughes. Excellent. I shall try with these balls first.

[He grabs up three of them, and starts juggling. No drops yet...and after a minute or two, he's still going.]

It's been ages since I have done this!

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

[Maes watches Sam juggle expertly and gives him a small round of applause, stopping after a minute]

Yeah, guess we're both out of practice there. Still, not everyone can juggle so good for you for being able to still do it.

[youreallweirdos.livejournal.com]

[Sam finishes his juggling, catches all of the balls and gives a small nod. Wow, it is nice to be appreciated for an old skill he hasn't used in forever!]

Thank you. It is quite nice to get some appreciation of it.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

Not really a talent you can use too often I would imagine. [he certainly hadn't]

[youreallweirdos.livejournal.com]

No. Things like juggling usually got set aside for less...wholesome entertainment on the show. [Bitter? A tad.]

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

What show would that be? [It's hard to picture Sam as an entertainer given how...serious he is]

[youreallweirdos.livejournal.com]

That would be the Muppet Show. [That's probably why he never got asked to entertain much!]

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

I didn't peg you as a performer to be honest, Sam. That's pretty great, although a shame they wouldn't let you do a juggling act.

[youreallweirdos.livejournal.com]

I. Did not end up doing much performing. Celebrity guests cannot do much with it, it seems.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

That's a shame.

[yerthemannowdog.livejournal.com]

[BALLS.

Balls are exciting to dogs okay 8|]

Hey, you're pretty good at that!

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Takes lots of practice, but apparently it's easy to pick up again.

[round and round the balls go. will they drop? nobody knows]

[yerthemannowdog.livejournal.com]

You look like a pro.

[IS SO FOCUSED ON THOSE BALLS MAN]

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

WOW! I didn't know you could juggle, Maes! Oh my gosh, how many balls can you do? I saw this clown once who could do TEN!

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

I picked it up when I was younger. I actually haven't done it in awhile so I'm a bit rusty.

[he juggles while he talks] I know at one point I could get about five. I'm not sure I could do that now though.

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

Well that's more than I could do! I'm only good at juggling candy!

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

That's still juggling though, isn't it?

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

That's exactly what I said! Apparently it doesn't count if you catch them in your mouth though...

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

I would say that's pretty impressive actually.

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

Awwwww, thanks! I bet you'd be really good at it, too! You should try it sometime!

...noooot with balls, though. They don't normally taste very good.

[mustbemaes.livejournal.com]

No, probably not. I'll give it a try next time I have some candy.

[sailorlaughter.livejournal.com]

Just come on down to the kitchens whenever you want some, okay? Or anything else sweet, I've got everything! And I mean everything!
