[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.)

	[ Scarper isn't the most uncommon word in the English language, so he's picking up on the meaning quite well. ] From the italian scappere, meaning to flee in great haste. [ Actually... ] That sounds kind of familiar, actually. The, uh... general concept, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not exactly... actually, I've seen something similar in a movie. Sci-fi. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In a movie? [That's curiosity there. Their Sci-Fi is of a different flavor so he's trying to picture this from the view of someone from a less advanced world. ] The built one for it or..? [Tell him about this movie.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not exactly... it was mostly models and CG. [ Way too much CG if you ask him. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Huh... [Curious!] What was the movie about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Actually, it was six movies as well as an expanded universe in the form of books, video games and animation — the franchise portrays a galaxy that is described as far, far away in the distant past. It commonly portrays Jedi as a representation of good, in conflict with the Sith, their evil counterpart. Their weapon of choice, the lightsaber, is commonly recognized in popular culture. The fictional universe also contains many themes, especially influences of philosophy and religion.

[His brows raise.]

Man, sounds like people must have really liked it. [It does sound really kind of interesting. A little, weird being a sci-fi movie about a place far away in the past but that just piques his interest more in how they handled it. Plus, it'd be interesting to see how another world handles aliens or futurey things.]

And you seem to know a lot about it. [Not that he's surprised that Reid knows a lot about something.]

Are you a fan?

	It's considered the greatest sci-fi epos of all time... though that's debatable, of course. It's certainly left a lasting mark on popular culture in any case. [ He knows so many things, Helix. So many. ] You could say that I'm a fan — I prefer Star Trek, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's a TV show — actually, it's a lot more than that. The original series followed the interstellar adventures of James T. Kirk and the crew of an exploration vessel of a 23rd century galactic "United Federation of Planets" — the Starship Enterprise. It ran from 1966 to 1969 and was followed by five other tv series set in the same universe, ten feature films — not counting the reboot, of course, which brings it to eleven — books, comics, games, figurines... pretty much anything you can imagine. There was even a Star Trek theme park in Las Vegas, but it got shut down in 2008.

[ To his own great dismay. ]

Star Trek is noted for its influence on the world outside of science fiction. It has been cited as an inspiration for several technological inventions such as the cell phone. Moreover, the show is noted for its progressive civil rights stances — the original series included one of television's first multiracial casts, and the first televised inter-racial kiss. The science involved is relatively accurate as well, which is rare for sci-fi... especially if you take into account that the original series was created in the 60s.

[Most of that kind of goes in one ear and out the other, the years especially cause he doesn't know much about earth culture or history what-so-ever. However he does think the information is kind of cute, that their people drew inspiration from a Sci-Fi show.

What really grabs his attention is the name of the ship.]

Enterprise? [Pause for thought...] I don't know if you spoke with him but there was a Captain Picard... I think that's what he said his ship was called. And something about the Federation too.

	Oh yeah, I've talked to him. [ And if you thought you'd seen Reid happy and excited before, you're in for something else. There's a small beat of hesitation. He's not entirely sure this is something he should be talking about... but what the hell. ] Actually... I grew up watching the series he's from. Back home, he's a fictional character.

	He's a... [Huh. That's... weird. Also, Reid, stop being such an adorable fanboy gosh.] He seems real to me. [Little did he know that most people he spoke to came from shows!] What was it like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Meeting him in person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-05-23 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	Weird... and really really cool. I mean, he was kind of like a... a substitute dad for me when I grew up, so meeting him in real life... well. I'm sure you get the picture. [ Awesome doesn't begin to describe it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-05-24 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, sort of... [A shrug.] I mean I kinda get what you mean but, not really. [Considering his substitute dad was a douchebag and the fact he didn't have anyone he looked up to or any real hero or anything.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I guess I really wasn't a normal kid at all. I never felt that way about a character in a show or comic book or anything like that.

The closest I even got to a mentor was my trainer. He helped me to survive the ring. He was probably the closest thing to a friend I had and even then it was only a business transaction. I had connections, allies, but they weren't really my friends.

[He couldn't talk to them like this.]

	You're not the only one, if it's any consolation. [ Doesn't make it right, but there's plenty of kids out there without role models. Some of them he's helped put in jail. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Chuckling softly.] Oh yeah? Like who? [Sounding like he doesn't quite believe there is anyone role model worthy in the dome.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know. They do have a tendency of stepping in when you least expect them though... when you need them and don't even know about it. [ And just to have that clear, he's not implying that he's a candidate in any way, shape or form. No way. If anything he's talking about Gideon. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
