[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!

Character name: Cam
Player name: Faye

Team/role preference: she would prefer to be with Dax! And/or Pal if he signs up. It could be FUNNY to be opposite them but she’s got the best modifier of the three (ooh but she and Alec opposite Dax could be silly)
Modifier: gonna optimistically give her a 3 on the basis of:
- her hand-eye coordination including against moving objects is really one of her strongest skills
- Cam can learn how to do anything, apparently! Ask NTN
- Though knocking down a point for not actually KNOWING the rules and presumably not having them taught in the Empire since…it’s very not a NZ sport
- strategy/data is a thing she enjoys which comes into baseball more than you’d think tbh
- she’s ambidextrous
- she will get bored with the waiting around part when in the field, deduct point
- but she’ll be WAY less bored and more committed than some other people?

This is delightful. And somehow also alleviating of my anxiety about getting back into things. Love it.
