I'm bored...

Therefore, I am declaring that there shall be a pick-up softball game out on the diamond in forty-five minutes. I'd try to make this a 'no powers, darnit' event since everyone else pretty much has the advantage over me, but with this crew, I rather doubt that's going to be very successful. Oh well. :)

So I'm not allowed to be the entire opposing team, is what you're saying?

I call left field.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you were pretty much first on the "unfair powers advantages" list. :) Also, Nathan hitting telekinetic homeruns, Monsieur Beaubier getting around the basepaths in less than a second, and so forth.

I'll play if someone makes sure to explain the details. I've heard the basics by now, I think....

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! I'm in! Miles already ran off to find you, too! ;)

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on, aside from the perfect split-second coordination, I'm not all that good an infielder and I can't pitch anything but fastballs, so you'd probably win eventually. :)

If someone will explain the rules properly, I'll give it a go. (Do my powers count as an unfair advantage? I'm afraid I'm not at all familiar with the game.)

Not a great softball player, so unless you really need someone to make up the numbers, I think I'll be in the stands for this one.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

The basics are relatively simple. Have you seen baseball on television? It's like that, only hitting is a lot easier because the ball is thrown underhand instead of overhand. Granted, there's also fast-pitch softballers who can throw really fast underhand, but for a casual game like this (at least, I can hope it _stays_ casual), I doubt that'll be a problem.

Not unless you try teleporting around the bases. It's not that hard to get the hang of, you'll get used to it pretty quick. :)

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

With your reach, man, you could still probably play from the stands. ;-)

Doug, dear? I do not think that I have any appropriate shirts for softball. I was thinking I might borrow the one you bought in Denver?

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Heh. True.

Softballsoftballsoftbaaaaaall!

You've made me a very happy Paige. I won't even try out my rubber husk.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I'd say something about making you happy being a pleasure, but I wouldn't want my very nice girlfriend to get the wrong idea. :)

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

You bring new meaning to the old "I'm rubber, you're glue" thing, you know.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Aw. MA hardly considers me a threat, chickpea. At least, I hope so.

Oh gracious, MA? Are we going to have to have Deep Serious Talks between innings?

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

We really need to find another metamorph.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Another nonspecific one, you mean. We've got Rahne, after all. :)

[x-shinobi.livejournal.com]

I've never metamorph I didn't like.

I'll go hit myself with a rolled-up newspaper, now. You have fun with your game, luv. Kick their arses for me.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Of course! Silly me.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

*winces* Ooo... It's a good thing I'm immune to bad jokes or I don't think I'd ever be able to use my mutation again.

And what a shame that would be.

(Don't worry, I will.)

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

ARF! Arf arf arf. *scrubs brain*

[xp_daytripper]

Sounds like a laugh. Samson says it's time to stop hiding any way, and there's that whole 'worshipping the sun' thing. I'll just finish off healing my hands and I'll be down.

I'm there

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Like I wouldn't be there for a game of softball. Can I pitch?
