Marigold and Gareth, vs Burgandy and Carl featuring Blue on the sidelines.
Gareth POV chapter.
----
Gareth stepped onto the oversized volleyball court, marked out with thin wooden strips around the edges that rested on top of the sand. If he was from Earth, he'd notice the proportions were all wrong, but alas, to him this all seemed completely normal. The court had tripled in size, though the net remained at about the same height. Gareth stepped onto one side, with Marigold following closely behind.
*Ok, I don't know anything about my competition, but I can work with Marigold well enough. I've heard more than a few rumours about her… but she should be a decent teammate. Honestly, the real challenge for this round, and a few of the following ones, will be making sure not to get Green mad at me.
