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!)

[ He nods a little and maybe that's one reason why he stayed. Helix was younger than him and he'd been through hell and back, never had a real family, never had anyone who cared about him and would risk everything to keep him safe. Never had much of anything and Aidan always had so much to give, so many privileges to share. That's how it had started. Wanting to change the world a little bit and then the world turned it around and changed him.

It seems stupid, now. Parts of it. He's still sure he would do it exactly the same if he got a do-over. ]

Because maybe if I stayed, he would.

	Hmm, if he comes back, I think you should find a better reason or leave. [It's a pretty bold thing to say to someone and if Helix ever does return and finds out she said it she can probably expect him to go after her, but she's not used to mincing words, so she doesn't.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That is met with a long, incredulous look. Yes, she's the sheriff around here. Authority. Someone he respects by default and probably would respect even more if he knew her better. Still... Helix, everything they've gone through, all that has left some deep marks in him. Habits that are hard to break. ] Don't really see how that's any of your business, ma'am.

	You know, it's really not. [She'll just take a puff of the cigarette, turning her head to look around the rest of the field. People showing up, but it isn't exactly show time yet.] I just know people don't change just because you want them to. They have to want it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-01-10 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	[ He nods quietly. That much he agrees with. It's the execution he doesn't understand. ] ...An' how's he supposed to want it if he ain't got a reason to change, you reckon? If I'm gone, he's back to how it used to be. No one carin' 'bout him. You think that's gonna make a person wanna change? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-10 05:03 pm UTC (link)
	Not really. [There's a chance maybe? He realizes what he's lost and decides to be a better person, but it's more hopeful than she really dares to be.] But scared is no way to go through life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-01-10 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	[ Shrug. ] Life's scary. If you don't go through it scared, you're probably not doin' much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-10 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	I guess so. [Just blowing out some smoke over here. She's said her piece. It's not like it's a current issue. Helix hasn't come back yet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ No, Helix hasn't come back yet. Maybe he never will. Maybe they'll meet again back home or maybe they wont but whatever happens, one thing is very clear at the moment: Helix isn't here.

He contemplates asking for a cigarette, briefly, but after all that running from raptors it's probably better if he quits. Something else then. Something more important that he could ask. ]

You, uhm... [ Clearing his throat. ] You recruitin' right now..?

	[She's been cutting back herself. Chain smoking has dropped to something more casual. It's still not exactly rare.] We don't stop. Interested? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-01-10 05:22 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I uh... I guess I am. If you think I'd be good for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-10 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. You'll need to come by for a psych eval and skills test. Combat team, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-01-10 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	That's what I'm good at. I got a little medical trainin' too... nothin' too serious, just some first aid. I've, uh... I've helped field surgeons a bit too so I can handle emergency situations alright. [ Psych eval makes him a little worried but he trusts these people. Some days he trusted them more than Helix. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-10 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	It's good to have people with medical skills on teams. We can work something out later today if you want or tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-01-10 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	Today's fine... I ain't got no plans. Just give me a chance to shower after th' match an' I'm all set. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-11 12:42 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, how about a few hours later? I need to get everyone else together who might be there. Anyway, I should let you get back to the blood cleaning. [She gives him a little head nod.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-01-11 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds good. [ A little smile and a response-nod. ] Thank you, ma'am. (Reply to this) (Parent)
