LADS speech and debate head cannons

Summary:

I was thinking about the boys' involvement in speech and debate the other day... So it's like a modern high school au? I'm a speech and debate girly, this is horribly niche. Some hcs are based on things my team has done

This may be ooc, idc. Just a shit post basically. Finding events for the boys was HARD

Work Text:

Zayne (My LOVE)

-He debates. He's a Lincoln Douglas debater, and actually really good at it. His value and criterion are always logical.

-he does inform, and all of his topics are medical based

-probably attempted storytelling at some point, but he wasn't good at it

-helps out with the other debates, is really good at cutting cards.

-always places in top 3

-preps while on the bus ride

-concessions victim #3, always after candy

-once asked out by a girl after round, provided his debate email

Caleb

-Policy. Sylus's partner. 1AC. Him and Sylus are a charismatic pairing. They fight plenty, but are a power duo. He's the lower seed, but they always place

-POI and dramatic interp. Always places top 6

-goofs off on the bus, sits with Zayne or MC

-brings homemade meals that him and MC split. At MC's insistence, shares with Zayne. 

-has round buddies, but prefers their team

Sylus

-Policy debater. He just gives the vibe. He'd probably partner with Zayne, until too many judges and a coach said they were an explosive pair. Now he's partnered with Caleb, which oddly enough is better. Sylus is 1NC. Higher seed. Always places

-he does exempt. He likes the thrill of the prep time.

-preps on the bus ride, but will join in on group shenanigans 

-door dash king, and always buys for the group. Concessions victim #2, and usually joins the raffles

-Luke and Kieran are his favorite novice

Xavier


-Public Forum debater. Him and Rafayel are partners. Xavier is first speaker.

-prose and poetry, and is really good at storytelling. Tried dramatic interp, but preferred book events. Places more often then not

-sleeps on the bus ride and in between rounds

-Concessions victim #1

Rafayel

-PF debater. Partnered with Xavier. Second speaker. Between the two of them, their cases rarely get written, but Zayne helps them nonetheless, since his cases are always written and blocked. Moderately good, but there are better teams on their team.

-makes inform visuals

-Humorous interp and oratory, and always begs MC to do a duo with him. Top 6

-LEADS the chants. Joins Caleb in the mischief 

-explores the school in between rounds, and yet is always there when someone is looking for him. Always joins in on raffles 

-makes friends with a lot of the other schools, but usually to scheme out cases
