[ Closed action, Helix ]

[ He's nervous as they head down to the beach, backpack filled not only with presents but with a few choice items as well. Ritualistic. A ceremony he hasn't been a part of for years and that normally requires a month of preparations but here they are in the land of last-minute-surprises and Aidan can't pass up this opportunity. It's as close as he'll ever get to a Winter Solstice celebration ever again and although it isn't a pig being slaughtered and there's no designated boulder here, he'll do what he can with what he's got.

Hands bare and reddened by the cold, he reaches out to grab Helix's hand as they walk. Nervous. Excited. ]

[Video; open ]

Hey, y'all. Happy holidays and uh... and all that. [ Unsure if he did that right. They don't do Christmas where he's from and that's very much the point of this transmission. ] I was thinkin', I bet there's plenty of us that don't celebrate th' way the Wardens've set this up. We've got people from all over the worlds after all, it'd be weird if everyone did it just like this.

How do you do it back where you're from? Do you celebrate... Christmas or is it somethin' else?

Oh, and uh... I'll be doin' a little celebration type thing of my own down at th' beach, if anyone wants to join. Just a little somethin' from back home... bring a cup, if you're comin' down.

[ Action; open. Aidan can be found down at the beach together with Helix. They've set up a fire in one of the fire pits and anyone interested will get an introduction to the godless earth-worshipping religion that Aidan is a surprisingly devout follower of. He can also be found scurrying over the dome throughout the day, delivering GIFTS to friend and foe alike! If your character isn't on the list but has some kind of CR with Aidan, feel free to assume they got something useful and generic like a pair of gloves or a scarf! ]

	[Blinking between the two.] Yeah I kinda doubt most people thought about getting me anything. [He doesn't exactly make friends easy.] Heh, you guys take baseball way too seriously if that's the case. [Not that he thinks they're serious about the rival thing but hey. He can play along-ish.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, if I've learned anything since I joined up it's that baseball is darn serious. You take it too lightly, you're gonna end up with a mouth full of dirt! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onelevelmeaner 2013-07-18 02:58 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly what Aidan said! [Points at Helix!] I don't know about you, but I don't like being a loser! Especially since right now we're tied... So it's very serious! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-07-19 01:01 pm UTC (link)
	[Snerking.] It's just a game. [Guess who thinks he could be better at it than other and thus can't take it seriously? This guy. His ego sometimes...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-19 02:46 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? [ Quirks a brow. ] Why don't you try it, then? If you think it's that easy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onelevelmeaner 2013-07-19 03:42 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, you should try it, because right now you're all talk! [He continues the finger pointing at Helix!] You really have no idea! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-07-20 03:02 pm UTC (link)
	[Resisting urge to break Hikaru's pointy finger.] Tch. Fine. I'll even play in the snow, give me a bat and toss balls of snow at me, I'll prove to you it's nothing for me. [Boy his Ego really can get him in some trouble can't it?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-20 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	Well... hittin' snowballs wouldn't prove much, would it? It ain't just 'bout hittin' 'em, you gotta get 'em far enough so you can make it through th' bases before th' other team stops you. Snow'll just break. [ This just in, everything this mun knows about baseball she learned from A League of Their Own. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onelevelmeaner 2013-07-20 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	[Hikaru crosses his arms and nods.] Exactly! You have to go through the entire process, if you really want to prove yourself! And there is no other way to do it than the official way! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-07-21 12:31 am UTC (link)
	Psh, it's not that hard. [Helix what are you doing stahp.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-21 05:18 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? Care t' prove it? Soon as th' snow's gone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onelevelmeaner 2013-07-21 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	[Hikaru can't help but to feel that this is somehow a bad idea, but he couldn't possibly stop the enabling now!] Yeah, yeah! Prove it! Sign up, go through the practices and play through your first game. It's the only way! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-07-22 12:50 am UTC (link)
	What? Why do I have to sign up. I don't want this to be a frickin' commitment I just want to prove a point! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-23 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	You're not really playin' baseball without bein' on a team though. Baseball's like... 110% team work. At least. Maybe it ain't your thing. [ A plan emerges. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Hikaru looks at Helix with the most devious look on his face! He's going to try his hardest to get Helix to finally accept this challenge!]

And not only does it involve teamwork, but also having to be coached, an audience watching your every move and possibly booing you, or even worse, losing to the opposing team.

You can't handle all of that, can you, Helix?

[Arms crossed over his chest stubbornly he snarls.]

I don't need to be coached. It's easy. I told you. Like an audience would bother me, I SING and play piano in front of everyone. C'mon.

Stop treating this like it's hard.

[It's the teamwork thing that he'd be not so good at.]

You hit balls, run or catch shit and throw it, seriously, you play with four bases and a bunch of field. It's a no-brainer.

[He is pretty fast and his aim is decent... catching and hitting are two different things though. And boys... you know he's not going to play fair or nice either, you sure you want him on the field with the chance of HITTING Someone?]

	[ Please. They have people like Stefan on the team. It's cool. ] Well, if it's that easy... what's stoppin' you from joinin' one of th' teams and prove it? Just one game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	onelevelmeaner 2013-07-25 01:54 pm UTC (link)
	It's no use. Continuing to say things like, "it's not hard," or telling us what you know about baseball, doesn't mean you're off the hook. [He shakes his head.] It is what it is. As Aidan said, just one game. That's all that we ask to prove yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-07-30 02:10 am UTC (link)
	What's stopping me is cause I don't want to join? I just want to play in a game to prove it and that's it. Don't think I don't see through your damn ploy to try and get me to join in on your stupid sport. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-31 12:38 am UTC (link)
	That's what we said, wasn't it? Just play in one game. You don't have to join if you think it's so stupid. [ Hear that tone of hurt in his voice? Yep. Don't call the things he likes stupid. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
