[PLAYER PLOT] THE WELLSTONE BASEBALL EPISODE

[d9x]

Hello, residents of Wellstone! The Wellstone Games Club, consisting of Keiichi, Alec, Dax, Olympia, and Satoko, have been reinventing the Earth game "baseball" based on a collection of half-remembered rules. They've created something... mostly resembling baseball, and they're bringing it to town in the form of a friendly competition!

This will be a laid-back event consisting of an RNG'd game victor, vibes-based baseball, and an after party.

There will be two teams; the captains are Keiichi and Dax.

This is open to everyone in town, please sign up in the comment below and join us!

Team/role preference: Aw, if given the choice he'll pick team Dax for sure! If not he'll be happy wherever.
Modifier: (and any explanation or flavoring) Hmmm I'm gonna say probably a 2, though it could probably fluctuate depending what he's given to do. He doesn't remember how to play baseball, but makes enough baseball references in canon that he probably was familiar with it. I don't think he was ever in a league but probably did okay in like, a middle school gym class setting.

He'll be at his best in a role that sees consistent action, like an infielder. If he winds up in the outfield he's literally never going to be able to pay attention and deserves to be bumped down to a 1 or a 0. With infield though he can juggle a lot of stimulus at once! He also has really good arm strength and will probably be a pretty good batter, but this will be balanced by the fact that he will probably accidentally throw the bat now and then - though lmao depending how much they've changed the rules maybe that's not a problem anymore.
