Day 252 [video | open][action | baseball mingle]
[The video starts with Yuuri playing on a recorder. He's no Mozart (who is widely known for his recorder-playing skills) but he's not painful to listen to at least. After just a moment, he stops and smiles out at the people. (That's you.)]

Hi! I just wanted to get your attention and there's music stuff everywhere, so that was easy. Anyway, I thought instead of just having practice today we could have a game. I know we've lost some players and it's short notice, but I thought it might be fun. [And they could all use some fun and something to take their minds off attacks so...BASEBALL!] So, come play if you want to play even if you haven't been on a team before and come watch if you want to watch. I'll bring some snacks. You should probably bring some snacks too since I don't know what everyone likes. About two hours? See you there!

[In two hours the baseball field will be ready for a game. There's a table for snacks. Nothing too elaborate—punch, water, pretzels, cracker jacks of course. Sadly, no hot dogs unless you brought your own. People are welcome to join a team for the day or sign up to stay on one! They'll also find lots of musical instruments because it's just one of those days. Nothing like a stand full of people with cymbals?]

(OOC: We aren't really going to play out a full baseball game, but feel free to respond to Yuuri's video broadcast here or tag yourself in to a mingle which can be before, after, or during the game. RNG says The Flying Knights will win this time!)

[She just keeps telling herself that Penelope's safe. She's home with Derek and nobody can convince Korra otherwise. She needs Penelope to be safe because otherwise all that effort, the pain and suffering to protect her during the raptor attack, was for nothing.

She's at the baseball match, but pointedly avoiding getting into the thick of things. She's honestly too sad and overwhelmed to really deal with a lot of people right now, but she needs the distraction.]

	[Euphie has noticed that while the game isn't exactly a downer, there are some sad faces out there. She wants to help. It's basically coded in her DNA. She heads over to Korra with two cups.] Would you like some punch? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{1} deal_with_it 2014-01-07 01:45 am UTC (link)
	Oh, sure. Thanks. [She takes the punch and a sip -- and winces. Ew. It's sickly sweet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{1} friendly_fire 2014-01-07 01:46 am UTC (link)
	Ah... Is it too [what would it be?] cold? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{2} deal_with_it 2014-01-07 02:47 pm UTC (link)
	No, no, it's fine. Just... sweeter than I expected. [She comes from a world without processed sugar; it's a weird taste to her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{2} friendly_fire 2014-01-08 06:21 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I see. I suppose I've always liked sweet things, myself. I could get you a water instead? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{3} deal_with_it 2014-01-09 12:45 am UTC (link)
	It's fine. Don't worry about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{3} friendly_fire 2014-01-10 05:54 am UTC (link)
	Alright. Well, how are you enjoying the game so far? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{4} deal_with_it 2014-01-11 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	It's fun. I'm still trying to get a hang of the rules. [They're not hard; they're just completely different from anything Korra's encountered before.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{4} friendly_fire 2014-01-13 12:30 am UTC (link)
	They don't have this game where you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{5} deal_with_it 2014-01-14 03:55 am UTC (link)
	Nope. The only sport I know is probending. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{5} friendly_fire 2014-01-14 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	I've never heard of that. How do you play? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{6} deal_with_it 2014-01-15 04:08 am UTC (link)
	[Oh man what's the simplest way to explain this.] You basically have two teams. Each team has an earthbender, a firebender, and a waterbender. The goal is to knock as many members of the opposing team off the back of the ring as you can before the timer goes off. [That...was a pretty terrible explanation, and Mako would be so ashamed. But it'll do.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{6} friendly_fire 2014-01-15 05:00 pm UTC (link)
	[She listens carefully and thinks she understands except for the...bending part.] Can you show me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: {6} deal_with_it 2014-01-17 12:41 am UTC (link)
	Uh, I can bend all four elements, yeah, but the other five players are pretty important, and there aren't any other benders here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{6} friendly_fire 2014-01-17 01:17 am UTC (link)
	Can you just show me bending? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{7} deal_with_it 2014-01-18 03:27 am UTC (link)
	Oh. Sure, that's easy. [She turns up her palm and calls up a little ball of flame, and gives Euphie a little smile. It's always nice to show off.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{7} friendly_fire 2014-01-18 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Oh! [She gasps, momentarily alarmed until she sees the smile.] How did you...? Doesn't it hurt? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{8} deal_with_it 2014-01-19 01:04 am UTC (link)
	[The smile becomes a grin.] Nope. I wouldn't be much of a firebender if it did. I could show you the other elements, but they're a little...disruptive. [She can't resist turning the flame into a little ring and oh, hey, there's a pebble. She calls that up and has it jump through the burning hoop.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{8} friendly_fire 2014-01-19 03:35 am UTC (link)
	[There's another gasp, but this one is pure delight! She even tries to clap though it's harder to do while holding a drink. Still, the effort and intent are there.] You have the most amazing skills! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{9} deal_with_it 2014-01-20 12:43 am UTC (link)
	Pretty cool, huh? [The chance to show off a little is definitely cheering her up.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{9} friendly_fire 2014-01-20 06:50 am UTC (link)
	[She giggles. Such an understatement.] It's one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. Can everyone do this where you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{10} deal_with_it 2014-01-20 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	No. Most people can't bend at all. The people who can bend can only do a single element. I'm the only one who can do all four, because I'm the Avatar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{10} friendly_fire 2014-01-21 02:24 pm UTC (link)
	Is that a sort of leader like an empress? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	{11} deal_with_it 2014-01-21 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	An empress? [BRB LAUGHING.] No way. I mean, I guess you could call me a spiritual leader. My job is to maintain balance in the world. I'm also still in training. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
