You know, I've never been to a baseball game before.

	Oh. Well I don't follow sports or anything but it's fun to watch a game and watch everyone else get into it. ~~And there's usually very hot men there too.~~ I'm new here so I don't know if this place has any baseball games to watch but if they do, you should go watch one.

It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to follow. Rather like cricket. Or- Rounders.

Oh, well- welcome, then. I'm James.

I know it sounds odd, but sometimes there are doors on the island that lead elsewhere. As far as I've gathered, you can go through the door during the time period stated on it, but you can't remain there once the door closes. You'll be pulled back to the island. Anyway, there is currently a door that leads into a ballpark in Texas.

	Rounders for adults. Played whilst wearing pyjamas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-24 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	You can see why it's so popular. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] Pyjamas? Oh! Ha ha ha! [...] Wait, you're SERIOUS!? Ha! That's almost as funny, really: the idea that men actually play a sport that involves LITERALLY running about in their pyjamas! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Have you seen the uniforms? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphotic_auror 2013-06-25 12:00 am UTC (link)
	No, no, I'm afraid I haven't...! I mean, I've seen Quodpot uniforms, once, when I was travelling in America, trying to track down a suspect, but -- well... No, no American baseball uniforms, rather...! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Nice to meet you James. I'm Penny. I heard about the door that leads to Texas. I might go check it out. I was interested in seeing if I could use it to go home. How long have you been here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-25 08:55 am UTC (link)
	Lovely to meet you, too, Penny. I don't know that it will let you go home, but there's no harm in trying. Maybe you can visit. I'm not certain. Oh, quite a while now. About six months. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	With the door to Dallas open you should indulge. Much faster than a cricket match, they usually run about two and a half hours, maybe three. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-24 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I think I will. It would be a shame to miss the opportunity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	macleod1518 2013-06-24 04:32 pm UTC (link)
	It definitely would be. I think several of us are going to a game this weekend, maybe Friday night. Should be fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neytiri 2013-06-24 05:00 pm UTC (link)
	Can Jake and I go to that game with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	macleod1518 2013-06-24 05:17 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. I'll be staying over a few days but you're both welcome to come with me to the game. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-24 05:03 pm UTC (link)
	I might tag along, if you wouldn't object. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	macleod1518 2013-06-24 05:17 pm UTC (link)
	Not at all. I'll be staying over a few days afterward, but you're certainly welcome to come along for the game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-24 06:28 pm UTC (link)
	Wonderful, I would be glad to join you for the game. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	newkindacharmed 2013-06-24 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	Really? How could not have seen a baseball game? Not to be rude, but have you been living under a rock? Baseball is awesome though. You should check one out sometime. I'm sure you'll love it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dixon_daryl 2013-06-24 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	Damn, not everyone's American, you know. And not everyone's from a time they have baseball games either. We sure ain't having them in my day. Be a damn shitty place to be trapped by Walkers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-24 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	Quite, yes. I never really had the opportunity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dixon_daryl 2013-06-24 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	Can't say I've ever really seen one either. Never had the money to go to a game, and I sure as hell wasn't staying in the house with my dad any longer than I had to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	newkindacharmed 2013-06-24 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	Well, how about I treat you both to a baseball game then? Apparently there are games going on in Texas with going through the door. If you don't like it ill cook you both dinner for a week? I'm a pretty good cook. I'm Melinda Halliwell by the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-24 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	That would be lovely. Apparently there is a game on Friday evening, if that would suit you? Dinner won't be necessary- there are restaurants through the door, we could go and get some dinner there. It's a pleasure, Melinda. I'm James Bond. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	newkindacharmed 2013-06-24 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah that suits me just fine. Always love a good baseball game. And okay that works for me. Its nice to meet you too James...or do you prefer Mr. Bond? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-25 08:49 am UTC (link)
	Wonderful. It will make a nice change from the island. Oh, no. James is fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	newkindacharmed 2013-07-05 04:20 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yes, I'm so happy about this whole door thing. Okay, James. Its nice to meet you...well, in a way. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Not under a rock, no. London. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	newkindacharmed 2013-06-24 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	Oh.....well, I apologize. I was just kidding about the living under the rock thing and being sarcastic. I know they have cricket in London, isn't it almost the same as cricket? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-24 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	It's close to under a rock, admittedly. Yes, apparently. We used to play Rounders at school, which is similar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphotic_auror 2013-06-24 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	Aw! I wouldn't call London living under a rock, really! I mean, it's a pretty major metropolitan area, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-25 08:46 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I was attempting humour. I suppose it is rather difficult to convey tone through text. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ah I see....! Ha ha ha!

But all the same, well... I really wouldn't want to make that joke to an American, for fear that they'd take you seriously, too... I mean, at least this lady you're talking to knows OF London well enough to know of the city, but you never can tell when someone ELSE might be a little more ignorant...! Heh!

Anyway's, I take it you're from London-town, then? I'm from Cornwall, myself, originally, but -- well, I moved to Lambeth to be a little closer to my job.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-25 12:01 pm UTC (link)
	I simply meant that it might as well be under a rock when it comes to baseball. There are also residents on the island who come from worlds where London doesn't exist at all. No, I'm from Scotland, although I was educated at a boarding school in England so I lost the accent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphotic_auror 2013-06-25 12:28 pm UTC (link)
	Ah! I see...! Well, I'm sort of the opposite: I was English -- well, Cornish I suppose -- educated in Scotland, but... well.. I never really picked UP an accent (save for mine own, of course!) because most of the students were from England...! It's nice to make your acquaintance, Mr...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-25 03:00 pm UTC (link)
	Well, that makes sense. Bond. James Bond. And you are? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphotic_auror 2013-06-25 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	Indeed, I suppose so...! I mean, what are we talking about "making sense" again, sorry...? Nice to meet you, Mr Bond... I'm Parnel Jugson... Auror Parnel Jugson, to be precise! Sorry, I'm new to this island, if you haven't figured that out already... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-25 03:39 pm UTC (link)
	Why you would keep your accent, and I would lose mine. Good to meet you, too. And yes, welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ah, yes, of course...! Sorry for being so damned thick...

Anyway's, thanks very much, Mr Bond...!

Say, I don't suppose you know of where I might find a place to stay...? I mean, ~~the cafe booths are a little cramped, really, though they are nicely padded...~~ that is to say well -- I've been sleeping in the cafe, the past couple nights, and whilst it was fun at first, like a sleepover, or a campout... Well, it's sort of getting old now...! Heh!

	Yes, have you seen the two tall apartment buildings? They're two of the few buildings with electricity. You can find an apartment there. There are many that are still empty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphotic_auror 2013-06-25 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, those are apartment buildings? Boy, do I feel thick. Again! Heh! Sorry, Mr Bond, sir...! So... I could have an entire apartment to myself? Really? That sounds like a dream come true, really... Maybe I WILL like being stuck here on this island, without so much as my bloody passport! Ha! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	double_0_seven 2013-06-25 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, they are apartment buildings. Certainly. They are rather spacious. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a combination living room/kitchen area. It's not the worst place to find yourself trapped, no. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aphotic_auror 2013-06-25 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	Four bedrooms? For serious? What on EARTH will I do with FOUR damned bedrooms...? And -- two baths...? Honestly, that sounds like Heaven, really - but maybe I'm only saying that because of my whole boarding school experience...! Heh! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
