PLAY BALL!

[hasleveledup]

Who: Everyone who wants to have some fun!
Where: Central Park. We're going to say they have a space designated for playing.
Summary: Junpei has invited fellow visitors over the network to come play a friendly game of baseball. There are free hats too!
Warnings: Uh, none yet.

Junpei had merely been curious when he sent a post over the network about playing some sports. He's an avid gamer and has a home in front of the boob tube, but he loves actually playing games in person...he's just not a superstar athelete. Before he knew it, he was planning an actual scrimmage between the Visitors.

"Man, this is a great turnout! I should plan more events! Junpei the party planner...no no, Junpei, the party master!" He chuckles to himself, pushing two boxes into the middle of the area they plan to use as dugouts. Once the tape is cut and the flaps are pulled back, they reveal two colors of baseball caps stacked in neat rows.

"Alright! If you wanna be on the greatest team ever, the blue team, take a blue hat! And if you wanna be on Minako's team, take red! Okay? Okay! Now let's get out there and play some ball!"

[[OOC: EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE is welcome to participate in this thread, even if you didn't respond to the OOC post! Just pick a team and jump in, or feel free to spectate and watch with a friend! Info post is here.

Junpei-san!

[Nano cries out in a near-panic as the ball goes whizzing by him.]

I'm sorry!

[Tachikoma stands watching from the dugout of the blue team, blue cap and all, as Nano almost kills Junpei with a small sphere.]

Wow Nano! That was amazing!! Keep that up and you'll be able to strike everyone out!

[...Maybe she just forgotten that she's on the blue team.]

[all_wound_up]

Tachikoma-san, aren't you on the other team?

[genkibot]

Yep! I think I'm next up to bat too! And I'm pretty sure there's no way I could hit a pitch like that!

[all_wound_up]

Sh-should I throw it slower this time?

[genkibot]

Wouldn't that be holding back though? I thought we were suppose to be trying our best at this while having fun with friends....

[hasleveledup]

"M-maybe Tachikoma-san can bat for me for the rest of this pitch?" Junpei chuckles nervously, crawling out of the way. "J-just be careful not to beanball anyone! That gives away a base!"

[all_wound_up]

All right. I don't mind if you don't.

[genkibot]

You mean like a pinch hitter? Don't you normally have to use someone who hasn't played yet? Though I guess this is just informal and for fun, so we don't have to be too strict about rules...

[all_wound_up]

Well, if it's all right with everyone else...

[Nano glances back to Junpei for confirmation.]

[genkibot]

[Tachikoma looks to Junpei as well. He's the captain of their team, right? So what he says goes.]
