((OOC: Anyone from ACME can add to this, just try to stick to the rules about including someone else’s name and the other posting guidelines. This is purely experimental, and if it takes off, maybe it could be a bigger thing; and, if not, no big deal.))
((Also OOC: The WiFi I’m connected through has been flaky lately, so I’ll check in when it lets me. Just keep it rolling if I don’t check in on it.))
About four months after I was brought on as an Agent, I noticed how aside from working together, most of the other Agents had nothing to do with each other outside of the Agency. Considering how hard some of the cases were, I figured they could use some kind of activity to unwind once in a while.
There was a suggestion board outside the Agency lunchroom for anything anyone could think of. The suggestions were collected every few days. I left a note on the board suggesting a few different things, and asked for any other ideas: softball, baseball, bowling, pool, volleyball. I also made sure to mention that call-outs would of course take priority. I also mentioned that ‘anyone would be welcome to participate, of course’ towards the bottom of the note.
Within a couple days, a fair amount of the board was covered with suggestions. The next day, the suggestions were all collected, and a note was left in their place saying that we would be getting a survey in a few days about everything that everyone suggested.
About a week later, we all found a survey in our e-mails, asking to check on the popularity of each suggestion. Within a few days, the results were in and posted to the board, along with a sign-up sheet for those who wanted to participate. A couple days later, we had our first outing as a group.
((OOC again: Each Agent who wants to can make a suggestion in their post, and once everyone who wants has added (we’ll give it a week or until no new posts are made for a bit), we can do a proper poll, and go from there based on the results.
We don’t have to 100% accurate, but keep in mind that certain activities would typically have limited space (bowling alley, pool hall, places like that), but teams are welcome for a sport, we’ll just discuss that through chat or PMs.))
