[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: Alec
Player name: Beth
Player contact: terriblepurpose

Team captain: Keiichi
Team name suggestion: Niners. Original name do not steal.
Uniform suggestion: Alec thinks they should wear long sleeves and long pants due to not wanting anyone to see his elbows or knees. Uncouth. Also lobbied for baseball caps due to his delicate complexion.

After party contribution: Alec made posters. They are a series of pictures of people in baseball uniforms being sad (Shinji posing on chairs, face down in the dirt, tragically walking away from a baseball diamond) in a vaguely early 2010s Invader Zim inspired style. Whether they went up is up to Dax and Keiichi.

Olympia contributed to the posters! The pictures are all Alec's beautiful work, but there are also motivational quotes in all sorts of bright colours written on them thanks to Olympia. Stuff like Hang in there! and Everything will be okay! and Don't forget to smile!

Do they just make the posters look more vaguely ominous in combination with the sad baseball players? Yes.
