[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.)

[That answer gets a slight look. Maybe if their last conversation had gone better it even would have gotten a raised eyebrow.] Maybe it will help. [So she is too much for you, huh?]

Yeah, it looks like the teams have had some change ups. I guess it's probably hard to keep that consistency here. [Lots of leaving. Sometimes it's easy to miss with as focused as he is on getting out and he just keeps...staying.]

	[ Ten years younger. Athletic. You can bet your anything she's hard to keep up with. ] Yeah... I'm impressed that we have as many active organizations that we do. Especially when it comes to sports. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why especially when it comes to sports? [He actually thought that might be the most natural fit especially compared to things like glee club.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well... sports take a lot of dedication and it's usually bound to certain parameters — rules, team sizes, tactics. In this scenario it doesn't serve much of a longterm purpose either, aside from exercise and a way to spend the time of course. There are no tournaments and with the frequency that we lose people here, even keeping the teams together must be difficult.

Compare that to the Defense Force that works towards a goal that benefits us all or even looser formed clubs that aren't as dependent on keeping its members.

	[That earns a nod.] I guess there probably is a lot of turnover. It sounds like some people don't even recognize the sports that get mentioned. [Strange thought.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Only to be expected, I suppose... statistically speaking, not every world is guaranteed to have invented baseball. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-06-08 03:15 am UTC (link)
	Not every world represented here is even earth so I guess that makes sense. As much as any of it makes sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Chances are it's more statistically improbable to gather enough members who actually know what baseball is to play an actual game, if you take the many-worlds theory into account. The fact that we're even watching this now is against the odds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He bobs his head a little.] Watching a baseball game in an underwater prison definitely feels...against the odds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Anything down here is improbable at best. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-06-08 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	That must make statistics a little more challenging. [Might be teasing just a little.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Good job making him smile there, Sam. ] Hey, I like a challenge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-06-08 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	In that case what do you think the odds say about the winner of the game? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-08 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	Do you want to make a bet..? [ Vegas boy. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sam looks kind of amused.] What would we bet with? [He's game.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Since money's out of the question... what are you willing to lose? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know usually when I'm in this situation souls are on the table. I'm hoping you're thinking more like an offer to wash dishes or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-11 06:17 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not even sure what I'd do with your soul if I did win it. [ So straight-faced. He's been here too long. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-06-12 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	Good. That's the first test to make sure you aren't a demon. [No it's not.] What would you put up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-13 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	If I can't play for money..? [ Huh. That's tougher than one would expect. ] I'm not sure. I've played strip poker here once, but it wasn't the best thing to bet. It's hard to find something of value here that you can actually put up as ante. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-06-14 04:47 am UTC (link)
	That's kind of what I was thinking. There are services I guess, but even most of those the bots will do for you. We're...well taken care of. [Not a good thing from his tone.] I guess we have rehab points if they let us give them away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Couldn't hurt to ask, I suppose. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't allowed but on the other hand it sure functions as something close to a currency. You earn a salary if you work and get fined if you break the rules. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And even if you can't transfer them directly or know how many you have you could always request something the other person wants. At least I don't know why you couldn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-06-17 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, that would be a way around it, wouldn't it? [ Huh. ] So what would you ask for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-06-19 01:08 am UTC (link)
	I'm not sure. [Which is the truth. He'd like to have points built up in case something brilliant comes to mind. Some ancient artifact he's sure will have the power to break him out, but then why would they give him something like that?] Maybe the colt again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
