author notes at the end!

SETTERS

XILONEN has messed up her set more than ONCE in a single match. No matter how much of a good setter she was-sometimes her fingers would slip and the ball would bounce right on her face. She'd stay frozen with her hands in the air in a way that she thinks what happened was just unbelievable. But of course, she manages to give back the points with her float serves. (It's literally almost impossible to receive it properly.)

ZHONGLI and AETHER are the only two setters for the mens team. Wriothesley had signaled their coach to substitute Zhongli. (he was having trouble keeping up the pace (he's been playing since the first point until third set, leave him alone.) They ended up getting a violation for having 7 players on court. Aether looked at him in disbelief after realizing Zhongli had completely forgotten to get out of court.

HITTERS

There was a time in XIAO's volleyball career where everytime he jumped for an attack, he'd curl his body way too much to the point he looks like a shrimp. It wasn't until he watched the game replays a month later that he realized he looked stupid doing it. Xiao was a quick learner, with a few practice sessions, he was able to fix his form. (There are still times when he does it unconsciously. In that case, Kinich is quick to remind him.)

KINICH jumps abnormally high for his height. There was a time when Ga ming had the grand idea to try out his plyometrics routine only to find out 50 box jumps was not it. The team is scared that he'd get an ACL tear at some point with how often he was jumping-so most of the time they bench him and bring him out only when the score is close. He struggles with beach volleyball though, and he can't jump properly on sand.

MUALANI and LUMINE have been training with Kinich ever since their teams went up against each other for a beach volleyball tournament. Even with his clear difficulty playing on the sand, he was still able to time his jumps perfectly. Thanks to the workouts-Mualani now has insane hang time, and Lumine is still trying to perfect the timing. The two were incredibly excited to show their newly learned skills during a game-so when Beidou let them play a scrimmage with the mens team, Mualani and Lumine accidentally bumped into each other mid air trying to hit the ball.

SCARAMOUCHE has somehow always gotten a red card during mixed tournaments. The referee keeps telling him to readjust his swing when hitting since if it hit someone in the face-it would surely leave a nasty injury behind. He didn't listen, says it was a skill issue, but the moment he almost hit their libero-Cheveruse-he told Zhongli to stop setting the ball to him for the rest of the match.

MIDDLES

Unfortunately, KAZUHA is the type to try doing a jump serve during a tournament and completely fail. It's either the ball goes way too high (to the point where it reaches the nosebleed seats in the arena,) or it goes right below the net and hits his teammates back/head.

YOIMIYA never fails to steal the second ball from the setter every game. Beidou is kinda sick of always reminding her to give it to the setter, but Xilonen is just glad it's one more thing off her to-do list. Atleast now she didn't have to worry about the accuracy of getting it to Mualani (again, thanks to Kinich, she can also jump abnormally high.)

LIBEROS

GA MING and SETHOS did shotgun for their drill once in preparation for a tune-up game. Wherein they would stand in the middle of the half court, and 4 hitters would stay in the corners of the court continuously feeding spikes to them.) Sethos got dizzy just trying to turn fast enough so the ball wouldn't hit his face-and Ga ming was already hit on his foot, and twice on his head CONSECUTIVELY. The two were out of service for the rest of the day, the team needs to learn how to function without a libero anyway.

CHEVERUSE is the libero that comes in for the first 6, she's incredibly talented with her defense-her receives always going right to the setter perfectly. She still has her off days, and she found out the moment she calls for the service and it goes all the way outside. Yanfei would be quick to cheer her on so she'd get the motivation to get the next ball. Next service comes, and the ball still goes out of bounds. It got so bad she, herself, asked Yanfei to sub.
