Sa-wiiiiiing batter!

[sleepybuster]

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: Baseball game
WHEN: August 2nd, in the afternoon
WHERE: where do you think
WARNINGS: inevitable balls jokes and Leon sounding super tsun and hetero
SUMMARY: Read below!

So! After loads of planning (and hopefully practicing between both teams), it's finally time for the big baseball game! Although there have been a few sports competitions like this in the afterlife already, Riki wanted to have one solely between all the dead kids sometime before the break would end. And today is now that day...! The teams have been officially distributed as:

Sena's Team:
Sena Kashiwazaki
Riki Naoe
Levi
Kohaku
Mana

Haruhi's Team:
Haruhi Suzumiya
Leon Kuwata
Celica A. Mercury
Kotarou Tennouji
Bertholdt

(Mana and Bertholdt had been added to the opposite teams originally, but Riki's a butt so he decided to swap them so that both teams would have an equal number of girls. Also! If anyone else had been unofficially signed up (meaning you threaded your character joining in ICly but never responded to the OOC sign-up post), just let me know and I'll add you.)

Anyway! Before the game, there will be some time for everyone to have some last-minute batting or catching practice. Whatever suits your fancy. Or talking to the crowd that has come to watch. There's also plenty of food and drinks (all of which are healthy choices, though -- like water, orange juice, fruits, and the like) for people to have! The real treats won't come until after the game. Because guess what Riki managed to get?! A giant cake! Yum. It has a baseball field on it and everything!

As for the game itself, there will be nine innings. Points will be distributed like this:

Sena's Team: 0, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 0, 4, 2 (14)
Haruhi's Team: 1, 4, 0, 0, 2, 1, 3, 2, 2 (15) <-- Winner!

Also, during the game, some NPCs (the 5% of them that are actually, you know, around...) may make there way on over to the bleachers to see what's going on. One or two of them will be doing the same nonsense that they have been for the past few days, saying weird and irrelevant things like, "Did you floss your toes today?" or getting stuck on and repeating phrases such as, "I love soccer game-game-game-games..." The others are fine, but yeah. The glitched ones will only stick around briefly before just randomly leaving, saying they have basket weaving to tend to or something.

So! Now that that's all settled... Let the game begin!

(And as a side note, if there are any questions, just drop them onto this post and I'll answer them there.)

BREAK TIME

[sleepybuster]

[After the fifth inning there will be a brief break for those playing to drink up or talk to those watching etc. etc.]

[extraordinarily]

[ During break, Haruhi's going to change out of her uniform. If only because they're not doing too well. Sure, they may be ahead, but it's really not by much, especially since they have the ace in their team.

And what is she wearing now? You guessed it: the cheerleading outfit. ]

This is totally perfect!

[suckswithmaps]

[I-- what. when did you change, Haruhi...

..oh well, Celica hardly cares. She thinks it looks adorable.]

Ahhh... Haruhi, you look so cute!

[extraordinarily]

[ At the very moment they called break, obviously. She just ran towards a secret area and then did her ~*MAGIC*~ ]

You think so? I brought some extras just in case. After all, if we don't cheer for our team, our team is going to lose!

[suckswithmaps]

Oh really... Well, if that's the case, and if we have enough time... Could I try wearing one too?

[extraordinarily]

Well, I did bring another one just in case.

[ Also she misses her mascot, so she actually hoped that she could dress somebody in one... ]

[suckswithmaps]

[Ahhh yes good...]

May I?

[honestmana]

[ Mana has never seen clothes like that, or really, she hasn't given much thought to clothes overall) and is interested when Haruhi shows up in those odd-looking clothes. ]

Mana thinks you're cute! What are those clothes? Mana has never seen anything like them before!

[extraordinarily]

It's my cheerleading uniform! I plan on wowing everyone with this so I can beat Sena's team.

[honestmana]

[ Oh! That's amazing! ]

What's a cheerleading uniform?

[extraordinarily]

It's something you wear to cheer your team on.

[honestmana]

Is it fun?

[extraordinarily]

It's totally fun!

[observesthings]

This game's getting really good...

[ It's been close the whole time. Yukki got up from his seat to go buy cotton candy, but stopped as he saw Haruhi.

Right... she wanted him on her team. But the teams were even in the end, so it worked out, right? Hopefully she wasn't mad at him. ]

[extraordinarily]

It's not getting good at all!

[ Haruhi places her hands on her hips as she pouts, an evident frown on her lips as she stares him down, her amber brown eyes full of clear disappointment. ]

We could have hit a lot more home runs than that...! Augh, it's pissing me off!!

[ ... be glad there are no Celestials running around the afterlife right now, Yukiteru. Be glad. ]

[observesthings]

But... the score...

[ Yeah. Never mind. Arguing about this kind of thing is pointless, he knows that well enough by now. ]

I guess you're right...

[extraordinarily]

Of course I'm right, I'm the team captain, after all.

[observesthings]

Right... [ No use arguing that. ] Well, um... Yuno was hungry, so... I was going to get us some nachos.

Re: BREAK TIME

[honestmana]

[ A bottle of something! She's gotten to learn what "bottle" is but she has no idea what the contents are (it's not water, that much she can tell) and she is curious to know ]

Excuuuse meee, but can you tell Mana what's in thiiiis?

[strawberrytart]

[ AWYEAH COME GET YOUR REFRESHMENTS.

Ichigo's got two boxes full of treats-- all healthier sweets that focus on fruits with refreshing quality! ]

Everyone come and eat something to refresh yourself for the second half~!

[ She's got Lemon tartlets, raw black forest brownies (made with karob instead of cocoa powder-- it actually tastes better that way!), and vanilla-kiwi gelatin cubes! All cut into small enough pieces that if you have some it'll be refreshing but won't affect your performance. COME AND GET 'EM ]

[tsunball]

Hehe, you sure saved a special one for me, right, Amano? [ Leon, sometimes a guy should know when to give up since it's hopeless.. but he's grinning as usually. ]

You saw how cool I was out there, huh?! I could beat all of them just by myself!

[strawberrytart]

You probably could! You're really good at sports, Kuwata-senpai!

[ She doesn't know anything about baseball but she could tell he was good. She smiles and gets him a plate with one of each thing on it! HE GETS TO TRY ALL THREE BECAUSE HE'S A GOOD FRIEND 8|b ]

[tsunball]

[ AWWW YEAH GETTING SPECIAL TREATMENT HERE that must mean he's a step closer to getting the t (the tart), right... ]

Of course I am, I'm the coolest guy out there on the field! You're pretty lucky to know me, y'know! [ And so very modest. ]

[strawberrytart]

[ YEP SEE this time it's a lemon tart though. ]

I'm sure you were really popular at your last school, Kuwata-senpai!

[tsunball]

[ He always wants her tart no matter what flavor. If you know what I mean. ]

Hell yeah, every girl wanted to go out with me! [ If that's the truth or a lie.. well, who nkows, but he's forever going to claim it. ] I was the most well-known guy in the school back there!

[ At least that's not a lie. Of course he'd stand out with his talents and his.. unique.. way of dressing.. ]
