[Dave...you make this too easy. Hitting the ground? Man, the answer here requires no thought at all. As Dave starts skidding over the grass, John dives after him. He's aiming to pin the other boy down before he even has a chance to flip over onto his back. Because John knows that if Dave manages that, he'll be on his feet in the blink of an eye.]
[If he manages to land on Dave's back, John will lean in low, attempting to use his weight to keep Dave down. He will be more or less straddling Dave's ass, his left hand pushing against Dave's head to keep his cheek to the dirt. His right hand will make a grab for Dave's own, attempting to twist it back against Dave's back and further keep him still. You're on Egbertian lockdown, Dave.]
[It's like the haunted house all over again.]
[Except even worse.]
[There is basically no way this doesn't look completely terrible/questionable in every way and John does even slightly realize this fact. Too caught up in the heat of the moment and holy shit is he actually about to win???]
