[Day 216] [BASEBALL - mingle]
[PLAY BALL!

Or cheerlead.

Or watch.

Or heckle.

It's an event everyone can enjoy!

There are some traditional snacks on hand. No alcohol sadly, but you can still have soda, hot dogs, and popcorn among other things. The bleachers provide enough seating for those who want to see exactly how vampires, humans, demons, mutants, etc. all play together. Not to mention some of them only recently even learned what baseball was. Never a dull moment at least.

In the end, it's the Flying Knights who win in this fairly evenly matched game, but there was some impressive action for both teams It should be an interesting season.]

(OOC: MINGLE! This is event style! Just put in your header whether your character is in the crowd, the purple dragons, the flying knights, cheerleading, before the game, or after the game or any combination! Please assume there was adequate IC announcement of this event!

Backdated to earlier in the day. Roster. It is not yet updated with recent additions from the last Yuuri post.)

	Makes sense. [ But then...... Caliborn. ] He is the worst. What a little shit. I'm glad you came instead-- I get to shoot the breeze with my cutest alien friend and no one gets their kneecaps broken in. It's a win-win. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Quite so! [She giggles, though a bit nervously at being called cute.] Even if I was by myself, I'm still having fun. Even moreso if we can spend time together, too! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-04-29 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	[ Awww, Callie. ] You're so sweet. Havin' fun at a baseball game even though you're by yourself... I'm gonna keel over, missy, and on my tombstone it'll say-- "Killed by Cute". We're gonna have even more fun now that we're together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have had a lifetime of practice with the matter of having fun by myself. [She smiles a little and then looks back at the game.] What do you know about baseball, Roxy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-04-29 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	[ Roxy feels a momentary ping of sadness at that little offhand comment. But she laughs, and shakes her head. ] I don't know much. I'm not sure what's even going on, really? Basics, sure, but beyond the running thru the bases I don't get it at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-29 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	I briefly read the rules, and you seem to have the gist of it. It's a game without too much point other than quite a bit of running and hitting high-velocity objects with sticks, though there are a number of finer points concerning the fate of the ball and the players it encounters. [She shrugs lightly.] I still prefer chess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Doesn't it look fun, though? Most games are pretty pointless, if you're looking at it for too long. But that's okay, if it's fun. You would, though. You're a sophisticated, real intellectual type. Me, I like a simple game of checkers. I ain't got time for wizards and kings. Well, maybe for a wizard. But that king can go sit in his castle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Calliope giggles.] Have you ever considered wizard cosplay, dear? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-04-30 02:02 am UTC (link)
	No, but now that you mention it... [ She could be the wizard. ] ... that actually sounds like a fuck of a lot of fun. How do you do that? Do you just toss on a costume and run around? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-30 02:09 am UTC (link)
	Well, certainly! But if you want to do it in the most correct way possible, you would also come up with a character. Or at least a persona! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-04-30 02:11 am UTC (link)
	[ She jumps right on that, not missing a beat. ] Like for a fanfic? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-30 02:13 am UTC (link)
	No! Yes! [Calliope becomes intensely interested in her hot dog.] Maybe not exactly like your meta fiction, but something more sincere? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-04-30 02:17 am UTC (link)
	[ She laughs, reaching out to put a hand on Calliope's shoulder. ] I can do sincere. Sincere. Say the word, live the word. I'm gonna make up a wizona. Wizard plus persona. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-30 02:20 am UTC (link)
	[She looks back at Roxy, her moment of uneasy awkwardness over.] Wonderful! Then you'll be able to better sketch out a bang-up design, and we can put it together for you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-04-30 02:24 am UTC (link)
	[ Hmmmm. Drawing. ] I'm not that great at drawing, but I'll do my best. I'm trying to think of a good design already... Maybe I'll go the traditional route and give her a starry dress. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-30 02:26 am UTC (link)
	[Calliope leans over and very, very gently nudges Roxy. It's almost technically just a sleeve-brush.] Tell you what! Why don't you do the best you can, and then I'll use it for reference and draw another version of it for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-04-30 02:29 am UTC (link)
	Yessss. That'd be... that'd be like, perfect. Your drawings are fantastic. Hell of a lot better than my chicken scratch. [ She laughs, not at all noticing the subtle touch as being deliberate. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-30 02:35 am UTC (link)
	[Calliope isn't sure if it's better or worse that Roxy didn't notice.] Thank you, dear! Your drawings aren't bad at all, but you're a woman of science! It's understandable that you didn't spend more time honing your artistic skills. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-04-30 02:46 am UTC (link)
	You get it, Callie. Science. I was cloning the shit out of kitties, day in day out, night and day, till the cock-a-doodle-doo and back over again. No time for drawing when you're neck deep in purring babies all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-30 02:48 am UTC (link)
	Quite right! [She watched, when the viewing screen cooperated.] But that is all the more reason for us to join forces! Now, a starry dress is perfectly doable. What else, do you think? [She wishes she had a pencil and some paper, but she'll just think about it in the meantime.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-04-30 03:06 am UTC (link)
	[ She nods, looking past Calliope while she thinks of what else to give her character. ] Can I have a big ol' hat? A big pointed one, dark as the night sky. [ She's getting a little more silly now, a little less sincere, but whatever. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-30 03:10 am UTC (link)
	[Calliope takes it both sincerely AND silly, so she's a bit teasing with her reply.] Of course! It needs to match your robe, after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-04-30 03:15 am UTC (link)
	[ She grins wide. ] Exactly. Now, footwear. I can't walk in heels, but maybe I should learn... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-04-30 03:21 am UTC (link)
	Hum. Is there a particular reason why humans occasionally wear high heeled shoes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-04-30 03:23 am UTC (link)
	'Cause they look really good. They're a literal pain, though, so I never really wore the pairs I had lying around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
