“Top of the 7th, the New York Highlanders are running through the Boston Red Shirts like a knife through butter. Yogi Berra looks like he’s going to tear the head off of Tom Brewer if he doesn’t hit this pitch.”
“Even if he does hit it, I think that Brewer is dead anyway. Berra’s decapitated three pitchers already this season, and it’s only May. Hope he has good life insurance.”
“Mrs. Brewer, my deepest condolences. He’ll be missed. Here’s the pitch, Brewer is throwing a knuckler…”
“It’s a foul. Thank god. To all of the Red Shirts fans praying out there, I’m sure Brewer’s family thanks you. Now, last pitch… wait, what the hell—”
“Brewer’s replaced the ball with an impact grenade! I think that’s a modified Filipinka? Looks like he’s taking a tip from the Chicago Orphans’ Dabrowsky. Let’s see if Berra notices. Here’s the pitch—”
“OH MY GOD! BERRA IS DEAD! HIS BODY HAS JUST BEEN COMPLETELY OBLITERATED! YOGI BERRA IS DEAD! BERRA THE BASTARD IS DEAD! THE HIGHLANDERS DO NOT LOOK PLEASED! BREWER IS RUNNING FOR HIS DUGOUT! RUN FOR IT! RUN!”
7:19 AM <Lily> Edith exists wherever
7:19 AM <Aphex_> Hans exists I guess.
7:20 AM <%LadyKatie> Sandra exists.
7:20 AM <ihp> Agent Robert DeWitt paces before a projector in the briefing room. This isn't good, not at all. The Foundation has strict policies on secrecy, and what's just happened in Boston might blow it open, if any American news corporation gets news of it. He looks over at the agents existing in the room. "Didn't hear you come in. Have a seat."
7:20 AM <Don1Charles> Charles enters, his weapon slung around his shoulder, fixing the collar of his dress shirt and running one of his gloved hands through his hair, smiling. He goes to take a seat, in the front. He really knew none of these people
7:21 AM <ihp> "Now then. We have a very delicate situation on our hands. Who here knows Baseball? Specifically, American baseball."
7:21 AM <Don1Charles> Charles raises a hand.
7:21 AM <ihp> That'll be an academics roll, +1 bonus if you're American.
7:21 AM <ihp> Or part-American.
7:21 AM <%LadyKatie> 4df+4 yes it is I a red blooded member of the DAR

7:22 AM <Lily> Edith doesn't know baseball.
7:22 AM <%LadyKatie> Ah, that was supposed to be a five. Reroll?
7:22 AM <Aphex_> 4df+4 Hans takes a seat and lights a cigarette. "Cannot say I know."
7:22 AM <Glacon> Aphex_: Hans takes a seat and lights a cigarette. "Cannot say I know.": 6 (4df+4=0, +, 0, +)
7:22 AM <Don1Charles> 4df+1 He had gone to a game or few!

7:22 AM <Glacon> Klurg|Aximiam: baseball?: 1 (4df+2=0, +, -, -)
7:23 AM <ihp> You've heard some, Hans, despite what you think. "Well then. We have a situation in Boston. The Catcher for the New York Yankees, Yogi Berra, has been found dead in the middle of Fenway Park. Only problem is that Berra was playing a game last night in New York at the time the body was discovered."
7:23 AM <ihp> Edith and Hans both know that Berra is a very prominent member of the Yankees, high batting average, very skilled player, despite his meager position as a catcher.
7:24 AM <Lily> Not edith, but hannah
7:24 AM <%LadyKatie> Hanna's not on this run, it's Sandra.
7:24 AM <ihp> "So, we've got a doppelganger body, with Boston's Police Department scrambling for answers. Your job is to get out there and try and secure this other-Berra's remains."
7:25 AM <ihp> (Two Ls at the start of names get a tad confusing)
7:25 AM <ihp> "The train's ready to take you to a high-speed airplane bound for Boston. You should be arriving at around 5:00 local time."
7:26 AM <Aphex_> "Mm. […I think my fantasy league will be ruined by this… dammit.]" mutter mutter German. "Rules on weaponry and dress?"
7:26 AM <Lily> Edith checks her watch and nods. "Anything else we should know? The body doesn't bite or spit fire?"
7:26 AM <ihp> "Any questions?"
7:26 AM <Aphex_> (see above)
7:26 AM <ihp> "Keep it concealed and try to look American. And the body… as far as the coroner can figure, the cause of death was massive trauma similar to those found in grenade explosions."
7:27 AM <Don1Charles> "Lethal force permitted?"
7:27 AM <Aphex_> "If we are fetching a body we will hopefully not be using lethal force."
7:27 AM <ihp> "If it should come to that. It's just retrieval of a body from a morgue in Boston. Unless you plan on getting in a fight with a cop…"
7:28 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "Why would we fight with a cop?"
7:28 AM CarBee → SpookyBee
7:28 AM <Aphex_> "Do. Not. Fight. The. Police. Am I understood?" Hans crosses his arms.
7:28 AM → Talonair joined (ria.eht.ni.lat|570111diu#ria.eht.ni.lat|570111diu)
7:29 AM <Lily> "Are we stealing it or do we have a cover story in place?"
7:30 AM <Talonair> Kit arrives a little late!
7:31 AM <ihp> "Ask Charlie over there," DeWitt points at Charles. "And as for cover stories, you're some of Berra's extended family come to identify the body. We're trying to embed agents in the coroner's office as we speak so that it can be wheeled out while you're alone with it."
7:31 AM <Lily> "Hello, Kit."
7:31 AM <ihp> "Simple grab-and-go. I can't wait to see how you fuck it up," DeWitt grins."
7:31 AM <Talonair> "So grabbing a corpse?"
7:32 AM <Aphex_> The Germ frowns at the implications. "That is correct."
7:32 AM <Don1Charles> (ask me what?)
7:32 AM <ihp> (Ask why you would want to fight a cop. :P)
7:32 AM <ihp> "Now, open the door, get on the floor, and get the hell out of here. You've got a train waiting for you."
7:32 AM <Don1Charles> (oh he didn't want to he was just asking if they could kill things lol)
7:32 AM ⇐ Klurg quit (moc.criiwik.stneilc.7DE8AA3B-CRInys|3a4b15c6#moc.criiwik.stneilc.7DE8AA3B-CRInys|3a4b15c6) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
7:33 AM <Talonair> Kit heads out to hurredly prepare!
7:33 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "Hey kit!" Fiere greets
7:33 AM <Don1Charles> Charles stands up, going to grab his leather jacket and zip it up tight over his clothes before he heads to the train
7:33 AM <Talonair> She waves as she heads out!
7:33 AM <Aphex_> Hans brings his usual Colt and his plainclothes, then hustles to the train.
7:34 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Fiere gets his stuff and dresses for the occasi
7:34 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Occasion*
7:34 AM <Lily> Edith gets everything she needs and heads out.
7:35 AM <Talonair> Kit arrives at the train depot with her usual duffel bag of equipment, wearing her typical low-profile jump harness beneath her clothes
7:35 AM <ihp> Several hours and a somewhat uncomfortable super-sonic plane ride later, you land at Boston-Logan International Airport. Stepping off the plane, you find a car waiting for you, and within is a driver looking very concerned.
7:36 AM <Talonair> "Everything alright on this end?" Kit asks the driver
7:36 AM <Don1Charles> Charles looks around, breathing in the air. "Good to be back in America."
7:37 AM <ihp> "…there have been complications," he swallowed. "Two members of coroner's staff have vanished after interacting with the body, and reappeared about fifteen minutes later bloodied up. One of them is in critical condition, the other…" He shivers. "They can't find his legs."
7:37 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "Been a while since I've been here" Fiere mumbles
7:38 AM <Talonair> "…. This is going to go well."
7:38 AM <Aphex_> "Mm. Is there any way to reach the survivor?" Smoke.
7:38 AM <Lily> "I assume the survivor is unconcious?"
7:39 AM <ihp> "He's in a coma, so it might not help you too much." The driver shakes his head, and starts up the car. "Right, I don't know this city too well, so you're going to have to shout when you see Albany street. It's where the ME's office is."
7:39 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> (May be slow, sorry in advance)
7:39 AM <ihp> (Is cool)
7:40 AM <Lily> "Well, better get to it, then."
7:40 AM <%LadyKatie> Sandra keeps an eye out for Albany street
7:40 AM <Aphex_> The Germ just checks his gear, smokes and all. He, too, keeps an eye out.
7:40 AM <ihp> That'll be perception. Also, any weapons too large or too obvious to conceal on your person (larger than a pistol or large Bowie knife) will be in the trunk.
7:41 AM <ihp> That'll be perception, anyone looking for Albany.

7:42 AM <ihp> Hans manages to spot Albany street form about half a block away, and the driver turns right on it. The ME's office is a block further down, and you're stuck at a stubborn bit of traffic. Gridlock; not surprising, it's rush hour in Boston.
7:43 AM <Lily> "Right, some of us should get out and head over, someone can stick with the car and look after the gear."
7:43 AM <Aphex_> "…" Hans just frowns and checks his watch. "I will take the point."
7:43 AM <%LadyKatie> "I will stay here."
7:44 AM <Talonair> Kit drums her fingers on her legs, stowing her revolver and FS knife on her person. In the bag is her StG-44, laser sword and silvered rapier
7:44 AM <Don1Charles> "I'll get out. Maybe I can find some information from someone on the street. Who is getting out with me?"
7:44 AM <Lily> "I can go just now."
7:44 AM <ihp> "I can watch your stuff," the driver offers. "The trunk has a false bottom I can stow them in, if anyone's curious."
7:44 AM <%LadyKatie> "Alright."
7:45 AM <Don1Charles> "Nice." Charles says, opening the door and stepping out, holding it for anyone else as he looks around the sidewalk
7:45 AM <Lily> Edith climbs out. "That could work."
7:45 AM <Talonair> "Works for me."
7:46 AM <Lily> She's left her shotgun in the boot, but has everything else with her.
7:46 AM <ihp> Suddenly, the car's radio springs to life. "Weird," the driver frowns. "I didn't turn it on." He adjusts the dial; there's a baseball game on. Once all of you are out of the car, none of you can hear it.
7:46 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Fiere gets out of the car last
7:46 AM <Aphex_> Hans gets out, dressed in his normal detective-looking garb. "We should be moving, time is of essence."
7:46 AM <ihp> However, walking down the street, you pass a bar with another radio going full-blast. Perception from all of you.
7:46 AM <ihp> Any bonuses from audio apply.

7:49 AM <ihp> Everyone who got over a four can hear that there's a baseball game being broadcast… but it's an odd-sounding one. "Bunning of the Detroit Wolverines has just been decapitated by a ball straight from the Kansas City Elephant's' Burnette! Oh my god! The carnage! Wait, what's this? Bunning's head is already beginning to grow back, and he's tearing off his arm and throwing it at one of the…
7:49 AM <ihp> …runners… we're gonna have to hear from the ump if that's a legal play or not."
7:49 AM <ihp> What. The. Fuck.
7:50 AM <Talonair> "… That's not normal for baseball, righ?"
7:50 AM <Talonair> *right
7:50 AM <%LadyKatie> Sandra tells the group
7:50 AM <Lily> "Huh? I did not notice…"
7:50 AM <ihp> The sports bar is about ten meters away from the Medical Examiner building.
7:51 AM <Don1Charles> "There are strange things playing on the radio. Should we perhaps examine the bar?"
7:51 AM SleepEldritch → AidenEldritch
7:51 AM <Talonair> "Some of us can check out the bar, the rest check out the body."
7:51 AM <Aphex_> Hans cocks a brow. "Strange. Keep your senses about you. Will keep going to the corpse."
7:51 AM <Lily> "I do not know baseball- I will look at the corpse."
7:52 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "What the"
7:52 AM <Talonair> Kit heads for the medical examiner building
7:52 AM <Aphex_> As does Hans.
7:52 AM <Lily> As does Edith.
7:52 AM <ihp> Those of you going to the ME building stay here. The barflies go to Tooltime
7:52 AM <%LadyKatie> Sandra follows the group
7:53 AM → Klurg joined ⇐ soulonphone quit
7:54 AM <ihp> Now that the party's been split, Sandra, Edith, Hans and Kit arrive at the vacant ME building. The driver /did/ mention that they bribed the staff to take a break.
7:54 AM <ihp> Oh, and look, someone left a key in the lock. Convenient!
7:54 AM <Talonair> Kit will head in!
7:54 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Fiere enters the medical examiner
7:55 AM <%LadyKatie> Sandra is pretty sure that is not a good sign.
7:55 AM <Aphex_> Hans tosses his cigarette, then enters with caution; he keeps a hand near his revolver.
7:55 AM <Lily> "Everyone keep an eye out for… well, anything." Edith heads inside slowly.
7:56 AM <Talonair> Kit nods, glancing around
7:57 AM <ihp> The building is vacant. There's a desk where a Secretary would normally be to check visitors in, but it's unoccupied, and the door to the actual morgue is ajar slightly. It's a turn or two down the hallway until you get to where the body is stored and… oh boy it's a doozy.
7:57 AM ⇐ Klurg and RosyBud quit
7:58 AM <Talonair> Kit cautiously approaches the morgue
7:59 AM <ihp> If you didn't know better, you'd say you were looking at a man wearing hamburger meat for a mask. His face is completely obliterated, probably by the explosive trauma DeWitt mentioned, and the top half of his body is similarly mincemeated. They must have had to identify him by his fingerprints, poor guy. He's naked, too, and his effects seem to be on a table by the side, including a cut-up…
7:59 AM <ihp> …baseball jersey, with its reverse side up, clearly reading "BERRA".
7:59 AM <Lily> "I hardly need to say not to touch it."
7:59 AM <Talonair> "… Yep, that's explosives damage."
7:59 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "That is disgusting…"
7:59 AM <Lily> 4df+4 Edith looks around the room for anything else unusual.
7:59 AM <Glacon> Lily: Edith looks around the room for anything else unusual.: 6 (4df+4=+, -, +, +)
7:59 AM <Talonair> Kit seems remarkably unaffected
8:00 AM <Aphex_> "Mhm. I believe most of us are not stupid here." Hans keeps his eyes peeled as well.
8:00 AM <ihp> Edith finds a clipboard with details about the preliminary examination. Cause of Death is massive explosive trauma and shrapnel woulds. Body was found with an aluminum baseball bat in its hand, clutched in rigor mortis. The jersey has armor somehow weaved into its fabric, probably to prevent injuries, and while resembling a Yankees jersey, according to the report, it bears the name "New York Highlanders".
8:01 AM <Lily> "New York Highlanders… is that a baseball team?"
8:01 AM <ihp> The Jersey contained several blood stains, as well.
8:01 AM <Talonair> "I have no idea."

8:02 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "I know nothing about baseball, or sports for that matter"
8:02 AM <ihp> From the academics rolls a little earlier, those who succeeded know that the Highlanders do not exist. Nor do the Detroit Wolverines.
8:02 AM <%LadyKatie> "I know the Yankees, but everybody knows the Yankees. And the Red Sox."

8:06 AM <Lily> She frowns. "I think this may be a potential anomaly."
8:07 AM <Aphex_> Hans goes to find a bodybag to nab the corpse. "…Timebender, perhaps."
8:08 AM <ihp> Kit knows that these injuries were caused by an impact grenade. Perhaps he was dumb enough to hit it with a bat.
8:08 AM <Talonair> "Impact grenade. He might have hit it with the bat."
8:08 AM <Talonair> "Nasty things, designed to explode when they hit something rather than on a trigger or a fuse."
8:09 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "So how do we transport him without looking suspicious?"
8:09 AM <Lily> "We used those sometimes. Unpleasant."
8:09 AM <Aphex_> "Like a rigged baseball?"
8:09 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> The bosy*
8:09 AM <ihp> The radio suddenly clicks on. "Ladies and Gentlemen, here we are at the top of the 7th with the Boston Red Shirts vs the New York Highlanders. The Highlanders aren't happy, what with Berra being blown to bite-sized bits by Berwer. The Red Shirts are doing something they haven't done since 1903: conscript members of the audience. Brave men and women. We're getting their names now: Charles…
8:09 AM <ihp> …Esposito is one of them."

8:10 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "Can you two take care of the body?"
8:10 AM <ihp> "Along with them are a woman going by Kit" Kit vanishes out of existence.
8:10 AM <Talonair> "Wait wha-!?" *pop*

8:10 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "Merde"

8:10 AM <Aphex_> Hans grimaces. "Shit. Sandra-"
8:11 AM <%LadyKatie> "eep."

8:12 AM <ihp> Pause for description.
8:12 AM <%LadyKatie> ~I't Emmrich now.~
8:12 AM <ihp> Everyone, including Charles, suddenly appears in the middle of a gigantic baseball diamond. You're all in your normal civilian clothing, and you have the majority of your equipment. The diamond itself is over ten times the size of a normal diamond; you'd estimate it's almost half a kilometer to the back wall. There's a good distance between bases, as well. The stands are packed.
8:13 AM <Lily> ~This does not look good.~
8:13 AM <Talonair> (Majority of our equipment?)
8:13 AM <ihp> Hundreds of people are cheering you on, while booing the other team. The Highlanders, presumably, a motely crew of freaks. One of them is nine feet tall and covered in armor, another six feet and furred, a third looks like he has no face and is made entirely of black tendrils, another with a flaming bat, another wielding a sickle…
8:13 AM <Aphex_> ~Agent Esposito, I am going to strangle you if we make it out of this alive.~
8:13 AM <ihp> (Your guns will have been taken away)
8:14 AM <ihp> You've got stiff competition.

8:14 AM <ihp> "God DAMMIT Brewer!" someone in your dugout yells. "They want to KILL us! You shouldn't have nuked Berra like that!" "It was him or me!" "Should have been you! We're Red Shirts! We can deal with losses!"
8:14 AM <Talonair> "… Hmm."
8:15 AM <Talonair> A slooooooooooow smirk begins to draw itself on Kit's face
8:15 AM <ihp> The man who's being yelled at, Brewer, looks at those who have been press-ganged. "…I really hope you all know how to play baseball."
8:15 AM <Talonair> "Not really."
8:15 AM <ihp> At this point, the GM would like to direct everyone's attention OOC-ward. "Let me explain, then."
8:15 AM <Talonair> "But we're good at improvising."
8:15 AM <Lily> "I have never even watched baseball."

8:20 AM <ihp> "It looks like Mr. Emmerich is the first at-bat! Question is, what side is he going to be batting from?" "Hard to tell from here whether he's left or right-handed."
8:21 AM <Aphex_> He appears to question that himself, switching hands with the bat. He settles on his right for now.
8:22 AM <Don1Charles> "Knock her outta the park!" Charles calls out, looking around for any sort of escape routing or items to help him out
8:22 AM <ihp> "He's going to have a nasty, nasty time. That's Arson Larsen pitching, and he's already got a fireball at the ready. It's gonna hurt if he's tagged by that. At least with Berra dead, the Highlanders don't have a catcher."
8:22 AM <ihp> Here's how batting works: first, the pitch is thrown by the pitcher, in this case, "Arson" Larsen.
8:22 AM <ihp> 4df+6 "There's the pitch!"
8:22 AM <Glacon> ihp: "There's the pitch!": 5 (4df+6=0, -, 0, 0)

8:44 AM <ihp> The ball is thrown back and because the balls are on fire, Larsen's jersey ignites as it hits. "FUCK!" He yells, taking it off.
8:44 AM @Orionbasher was opped (+o) by ChanServ

8:52 AM <ihp> However, as Hans comes to second, the second-baseman attempts to clobber him with a right hook!

I will" At this point, the broadcast to the homes of those listening cuts out for the sheer obscenity of what Mickey Mantle is saying. It is horrible.

9:36 AM <ihp> *thwack*. Hans is hit with the ball a few feet from home. "Yer out!"
9:37 AM <ihp> Said ball has long since been extinguished, so you don't have to worry about fire.
9:37 AM <Aphex_> He swings wildly for the sickle wielder!
9:37 AM <Talonair> Does Kit get to second?
9:37 AM <ihp> She does!
9:37 AM <ihp> Everyone but Hans gets to their destinations.
9:38 AM <ihp> They don't bother attacking back. They just look smug. "He said /yer out/, kid," the giant of a man says. "Fly a kite."
9:38 AM <Talonair> Is the werewolf still at second?
9:38 AM <ihp> Yes, and he's still on the ground, writhing in pain. Mr. Faceless doesn't look much better.
9:38 AM <Aphex_> "[Fuck you, old giant. You and your team are nothing but sniveling pigs.]" He walks off, basically unscathed.
9:39 AM <Talonair> Kit draws her rapier as she dashes for second base…
9:39 AM <Talonair> 4df+11 (MEL+Cavalry Charge+Silvered weapon)
9:39 AM <Glacon> Talonair: (MEL+Cavalry Charge+Silvered weapon): 8 (4df+11=-, 0, -, -)
9:39 AM <ihp> 4df+2 he's defenselss.
9:39 AM <Glacon> ihp: he's defenselss.: 0 (4df+2=0, -, -, 0)
9:39 AM <ihp> And he is also dead.
9:40 AM <ihp> You stab him right through the heart with your rapier, and blood leaks from his mouth. The home crowd cheers.
9:40 AM <ihp> One down, ten to go.
9:41 AM <Talonair> Kit draws the sword back out of his chest, flicks it clean and salutes the crowd with the red blade
9:41 AM <Talonair> Drawing her knife as she does so
9:41 AM <ihp> The cheers intesnify greatly. "Well, with that chaos out of the way, we're onto the next batter! This guy is yet another unknown, one Charles Esposito!"
9:41 AM <Don1Charles> Charles hops out of base, holding his bat, looking around. Base alignment?
9:44 AM <ihp> First base is vacant, guarded by Marv "The Caver" Throneberry, who's licking his knife eagerly. Second base has Kit, and a dead werewolf. Shorstop is the faceless man, who isn't looking too hot. Third Base is occupied by Fiere, who has an intimidating man standing by him, glaring at you with an expression of pure /hate/.
9:45 AM <Talonair> Kit plants a forehoof on the dead werewolf's chest
9:45 AM <ihp> In the center field is Mickey Mantle, who Charles bravely (or stupidly) tackled. The pitcher has a flaming ball in his hand.
9:45 AM <Don1Charles> (I presume you mean Hans lol)
9:45 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Fiere glares back
9:45 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "Problem, tough guy?"
9:46 AM <Aphex_> (Hans is back in the dugout, and you're being rather presumptuous.)
9:46 AM <ihp> The first pitch is coming!
9:46 AM <ihp> 4df+5 "SWING BATTA BATTA!"
9:46 AM <Glacon> ihp: "SWING BATTA BATTA!": 6 (4df+5=0, +, +, -)
9:46 AM <Talonair> Kit eyes the man at third base
9:47 AM <Don1Charles> (Erm, Can Charles do something first?)
9:47 AM <ihp> (Sure?)
9:47 AM <Talonair> It's fairly obvious she fully intends to murder him
9:47 AM <ihp> Redact the throw
9:47 AM <ihp> what does Charlie Brown intend tod o?
9:48 AM <Don1Charles> Charles coughs, stretching out his left arm, with four fingers held up, in the direction of Fiere. He hoped Fiere knew that meant "Go for fourth". He cracks his neck, eyeing Fiere, before waiting for the throw. Fiere needed to wait for the signal
9:48 AM <ihp> 4df+5 "SWING!"
9:48 AM <Glacon> ihp: "SWING!": 3 (4df+5=0, -, 0, -)
9:49 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Fiere has no idea what that means
9:49 AM <ihp> melee, Charles
9:51 AM <Don1Charles> Actually, instead of hitting it, Charles takes a step back. Once it thuds into the glove of the catcher, he swings a rough swing into the head of the catcher. This was Fiere's signal, since the ball was in the mitt of the now hopefully messed-up catcher
9:51 AM <ihp> Melee, as the ump cries, "Steeriiioooh my god!"
9:52 AM <Don1Charles> 4df+4 melee close ranged baseball bat swing
9:52 AM <Glacon> Don1Charles: melee close ranged baseball bat swing: 3 (4df+4=0, 0, -, 0)

9:52 AM <Glacon> ihp: basically acivilian: -2 (4df+1=-, 0, -, -)
9:52 AM <ihp> he's KO'd.
9:52 AM <Lily> Edith grimaces from the side.
9:52 AM <Talonair> "RUN!" Kit barks at Fiere
9:53 AM <Don1Charles> Charles picks up the baseball from the knocked out man's glove, and throws it into the crowd, before running to his base, still carrying the baseball bat.
9:53 AM <Don1Charles> Hey, no one could tag him out!
9:53 AM <Talonair> She is /loud/ when a centaur
9:53 AM <ihp> "KILL HIM!" screams the shortstop. "KILL THEM ALL!"
9:53 AM <Don1Charles> He didn't even need to run! He could meander all he wanted, there was no ball
9:54 AM <ihp> I'm just going to say that pdef and agility are non-entities at this point.
9:54 AM <Don1Charles> (nice)
9:54 AM <ihp> Because the ball is currently under several pounds of New Yorker kid.
9:54 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Fiere runs
9:54 AM <Talonair> Well, Kit is going to gallop
9:54 AM <Talonair> Because she's charging the man on third base
9:55 AM <ihp> With nothing to get them out, Fiere is /safe!/ Score 1-0 Boston!
9:55 AM <Don1Charles> Charles is going to meander, getting ready to fuck-up the guy on first base if he came at him
9:55 AM <Talonair> Is the gentleman on third base also magical?
9:55 AM → Lazar joined (~ten.tsacmoc.ni.1dsh.7879801B-CRInys|razaL#ten.tsacmoc.ni.1dsh.7879801B-CRInys|razaL)
9:55 AM <Aphex_> Hans will take this opportunity to defend himself if necessary. He grabs a bat and all that.
9:55 AM <ihp> As Charles approaches first base, the knife-wielding first-baseman tries to tackle him, knife in hand. Meanwhile, Kit has other problems, as she feels the man on third base glare at her… and this glare hurts.
9:56 AM <ihp> 4df+5 First Base attack, agility to dodge

9:56 AM <ihp> (I suppose.)
9:56 AM <ihp> 4df+5 Kit, meanwhile, the man at third base tries to fill you with fear from those wrong, wrong eyes of his. This will be an mdef to counter fear effect.

9:57 AM <Glacon> Talonair: Shit Kit loses her MDEF spec when a centaur: 3 (4df+3=+, -, +, -)

9:58 AM <Don1Charles> (Just go to home!)
9:58 AM <ihp> First base is knocked on his ass, and takes two damage.
9:59 AM <ihp> Second base is dead.
9:59 AM <Don1Charles> Charles clicks out his switchblade
9:59 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Fiere goes out and joins the fight
9:59 AM <Aphex_> Hans will run to the intimidating guy staring Kit down. Time to give him a taste of his own medicine.
9:59 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> He has his baseball
9:59 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Bat
9:59 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> He charges eyes guy
9:59 AM <Talonair> Can Kit act at all?
9:59 AM <ihp> Shorstop, meanwhile, is coming up on Kit from behind, tendrils of black /something/ flailing as Kit is distracted by third base. This might not last long, with the charging from Fiere, so… attack!
9:59 AM <Don1Charles> "You ready to die, motherfucker?" He says, looking to the fallen man. Had Charles knocked the man's knife out of his hand with that hit?
10:00 AM <ihp> Roll a percentile, Charles. Above 60, that's a yes.
10:00 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> 4df+5 smaaaasssshhh

10:00 AM <Don1Charles> (nice)
10:01 AM <Aphex_> Hans charges Tendril-dude, then. Can he intimidate?
10:01 AM <Lily> Who is the nearest member of the opposing team to Edith and which way are they facing
10:01 AM <ihp> Inded he can
10:01 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> (I did a melee attack on tendrils)
10:01 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> (It was an 8)
10:01 AM <ihp> 4df+3 OH SHI- third base tries to dodge the attack.
10:01 AM <Glacon> ihp: OH SHI- third base tries to dodge the attack.: 2 (4df+3=0, +, -, -)
10:02 AM <Don1Charles> Charles is instead going to take his switchblade and slash open the fallen man's throat
10:02 AM <ihp> 4df+2 this is gonna suck for him.

10:02 AM <ihp> First base takes 1.5 damage
10:02 AM <Don1Charles> Any extra damage for a throat-slash?
10:02 AM <Aphex_> Okay, time to go intimidate the Giant then.
10:03 AM <ihp> He's bleeding out. It'll have to wait.
10:03 AM <ihp> And as Third Base's concentration is broken, Kit sees Short Stop creeping up on her!
10:03 AM <Aphex_> …okay.
10:03 AM <ihp> (I'm talking about Charles.)
10:03 AM <Don1Charles> Charles tags his foot on the base and grabs his bat again, then!
10:03 AM <ihp> (He slashed First Bases' throat. Mickey Mantle is in the back, roaring with rage)
10:04 AM <ihp> But…. someone's missing from this picture. Perception.

10:05 AM <Talonair> Kit rounds on Shortstop
10:05 AM <ihp> Edith, Hans, Charles, you see the guy with the sickle trying to creep over to the catcher! He's going for the ball! Despite the anarchy on the field, he's trying to get you out!
10:05 AM <Lily> Is Edith able to sneak up on him?
10:05 AM <Don1Charles> (Charles threw the baseball into the crowd?)
10:06 AM <ihp> (Revising)
10:06 AM <ihp> Edith, Hans and Charles all see the guy with the sickle trying to creep up to the stands! He looks like he's going for the ball, which some fans are handing out to him!
10:06 AM <ihp> Edith, that'll be a stealth roll to try and sneak up on him.

10:07 AM <Talonair> *?
10:08 AM <ihp> But of course
10:08 AM <Talonair> Excellent
10:08 AM <Talonair> Too close for a charge, so… Is he magical in nature?
10:08 AM <ihp> He's… something. Eldritch would be your best guess. He's so slender, you wonder if he's even a man. He might be completely inhuman.
10:09 AM <Talonair> 4df+8 Kit is going for a measured attack with her rapier
10:09 AM <Glacon> Talonair: Kit is going for a measured attack with her rapier: 7 (4df+8=-, 0, +, -)
10:09 AM <Talonair> It gets +1 against magical entities
10:09 AM <Don1Charles> "KILL THE FUCKER WITH THE SICKLE" He says, bashing in first basemen's head
10:09 AM <Talonair> Plus whatever your verdict on silver is
10:09 AM <Don1Charles> 4df+5 melee
10:09 AM <Glacon> Don1Charles: melee: 4 (4df+5=-, 0, +, -)
10:09 AM <Don1Charles> (not bad)
10:09 AM <ihp> 4df+9 He's an agile bugger. He tries to teleport behind you, as well.

10:09 AM <ihp> He gets behind Kit again!
10:10 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Fiere charges shortstop boo

10:11 AM <Glacon> ihp: pdef: 6 (4df+4=-, +, +, +)
10:11 AM <ihp> He's grazed, and turns, realizing he's cornered.
10:12 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "Give up" Fiere demands
10:12 AM <ihp> 4df+3Edith, sorry, doing perception for sickle guy now.

10:12 AM <Don1Charles> Charles kills first basemen, and jogs over to second! And third and such if it's not blocked
10:12 AM <ihp> Edith, his head turns slightly, but he doesn't notice you. Too focused on getting the ball.
10:12 AM <Talonair> Can Kit kick Shortstop?
10:12 AM <Lily> 4df+5 sneak attack with her knife, then!
10:12 AM <Glacon> Lily: sneak attack with her knife, then!: 8 (4df+5=+, +, +, 0)

10:13 AM <ihp> 4df+4 pdef
10:13 AM <Glacon> ihp: pdef: 2 (4df+4=-, +, -, -)
10:13 AM <ihp> He takes four damage as you hit an artery in his leg, and immediately collapses.

10:14 AM <ihp> Yeah he gonna die soon
10:14 AM <ihp> So far, that's left field, first base, and second base dead. Third base is KO'd. And Kit, why woudl I allow you to /not/ kick shortstop?
10:14 AM <Talonair> 4df+6 NEVER GET BEHIND A HORSE
10:14 AM <Glacon> Talonair: NEVER GET BEHIND A HORSE: 8 (4df+6=+, +, -, +)
10:15 AM <Lily> Edith makes sure to kick away his scythe, too
10:16 AM <ihp> 4df+4 oh bugger.
10:16 AM <Glacon> ihp: oh bugger.: 4 (4df+4=+, 0, 0, -)
10:16 AM <ihp> The shortstop disintegrates into nothingness.
10:16 AM <ihp> So out of an almost-full baseball team, you've killed first base, second base, the left-fielder, and the shortstop.
10:16 AM <ihp> It feels like you're forgetting something
10:16 AM <Lily> Edith turns and- who else is left on the field?
10:17 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Fiere checks the area
10:17 AM <Talonair> "GET TO HOME BASE."
10:17 AM <Talonair> Kit will gallop that way
10:17 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "Anybody else!? He demands"
10:17 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> " oh crap"
10:17 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Fiere runs to home
10:17 AM <ihp> "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" The pitcher's gone for the dugout.
10:17 AM <ihp> And for the balls within.
10:17 AM <ihp> Well, "balls".
10:17 AM <Talonair> "FUCKING RUN."
10:17 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> 4df+9 agility!!!
10:17 AM <Glacon> Klurg|Aximiam: agility!!!: 9 (4df+9=0, 0, +, -)
10:17 AM <Talonair> Roll to fucking leg it?
10:17 AM <ihp> YEs.
10:17 AM <ihp> He tries lighting one up, ignorant to the fact that it's a grenade.
10:18 AM <ihp> And that several other of the balls are grenades.
10:18 AM <Lily> Edith makes sure to stay well clear of the enemy dugout, knowing full well what's about to happen
10:19 AM <ihp> 4df+20 Boom. This is all damage directed at himself, because the dumb fucker just lit up a grenade.
10:19 AM <Glacon> ihp: Boom. This is all damage directed at himself, because the dumb fucker just lit up a grenade.: 23 (4df+20=0, +, +, +)

10:19 AM <Glacon> Talonair: RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN: 9 (4df+11=-, -, 0, 0)
10:19 AM <Don1Charles> Can Charles go kill the incapacited third-baser?
10:20 AM <ihp> And several other grenades with it Fiere gets home! (Score: who knows anymore, the Red Shirts are winning, and that's all that matters to Boston right now), and Charles… well, let's just say with a fireball that big jutting out from the away team's dugout…
10:20 AM <ihp> Third base isn't getting up soon.
10:20 AM <Don1Charles> Ouch! Charles will go and score his homerun, then!
10:21 AM <Talonair> Kit runs- gallops to home base
10:21 AM <ihp> That's 4-0 for the Red Shirts!
10:21 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> (Wait, did Fiere just run at the same speed as a half horse?)
10:21 AM <ihp> The crowd is going wild! Well, half of it! The Crowd from New York is on fire!
10:21 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> (Cause we both got 9)
10:23 AM <Don1Charles> Once getting the homerun, he pumps a fist in the air, looking around for anything else that needed fighting. "Jesus this place is a wreck."
10:23 AM <ihp> There's the matter of a juggernaut of a man, nine foot tall, with plate-armored skin coming for you all.
10:23 AM <ihp> Slowly
10:23 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> (Do we have any ranged?)
10:23 AM <Lily> "…merde."
10:23 AM <Talonair> Kit wheels around, grinning
10:24 AM <Talonair> "LET'S FUCKING GO THEN."
10:24 AM <Talonair> And she charges the giant, fussing with a satchel as she goes
10:24 AM <ihp> Unless you count throwing stuff, nope.
10:24 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Fiere attempts to trip the giant if he has no ranged attacks
10:24 AM <Don1Charles> Charles hefts up his bat and looks around. "Do we have anymore bombs?"
10:24 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> (Agility?)

10:24 AM <Talonair> Oh yea
10:24 AM <Talonair> Explosives
10:24 AM <ihp> "OY!" someone from the dugout yells. You think it's the pitcher. Judging by the fact that he's throwing a ball at the giant, it probably is.
10:24 AM <ihp> Except this ball… this ball is special.
10:25 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> (Never mind then)
10:25 AM <ihp> It's the pitcher for the Red Shirts.
10:25 AM <ihp> 4df+3 this ball explodes on impact. And he throws several others, un-primed, at you all. "Pull the pin and throw it!" he yells.

10:28 AM <Talonair> What roll?
10:28 AM <ihp> What's the damage on the charge?
10:28 AM <Talonair> And I would presume her engineering roll plus whatever you decide
10:28 AM <ihp> Engineering + Combat Engineering
10:29 AM <Talonair> Ok. Any roll to place it or just straight into the ENGI roll?
10:29 AM <ihp> straight into engineering. This guy is lumebring.

10:31 AM <Talonair> It's on a timer! Remote detonators aren't really a thing!
10:31 AM <Aphex_> Hans runs back to the others, keeping his distance from that charge.

10:31 AM <ihp> It stumbles, at which point, a shot rings out.
10:32 AM <ihp> "THAT IS ENOUGH!"
10:32 AM <ihp> The umpire has just fired a revolver straight into the air.
10:32 AM <Don1Charles> Charles looks over, swinging his bat over his shoulder
10:32 AM <Lily> Edith's head whips round to look.
10:32 AM <ihp> "All but three members of the New York Highlanders are either dead or incapacitated. Stand down immediately, or you will be shot by several dozen trained snipers hiding on the roof."
10:33 AM <Aphex_> Hans turns, still smoking. "So much for the game, hm?" He muses, reminding himself to grab Mantle for interrogation if possible.
10:33 AM <Talonair> Kit does so!
10:33 AM <Don1Charles> "So, we win?" He asks, lowering his bat
10:34 AM <Lily> Edith sheathes her knife.
10:35 AM <ihp> "…only if a majority of the remaining players agree. We have right field, pinch-hitter, and substitute pitcher still in one piece. Mostly. Pinch and substitute were locked in the locker room by Red Shirt fans, which /shame on you!/ " The ump yells at the stands.
10:35 AM <Don1Charles> Charles gives a thumbs up to the fans
10:36 AM <ihp> A pair of rather mundane looking gentlemen are produced from somewhere that is not the dugouts. "I-I concede," one of them says nervously. "So do I, I guess," the other says, spitting in the grass. "What a pile of bullshit. The team gets their asses handed to them by civvies, and we don't get to see it."
10:36 AM <Aphex_> Hans listens, making a passing note to Kit about grabbing Mantle on the way out for questioning.
10:36 AM <ihp> "The Boston Red Shirts Win, 5-0, with minimal casualties!"
10:37 AM <Talonair> "I'm not a civvie, I'm a soldier." Kit gives a very equine snort
10:37 AM <ihp> And the crowd goes ballistic. Kind of literally. The Boston fans scramble towards the New York side as several of them draw guns and begin firing onto the field.
10:37 AM <Don1Charles> Charles moves into a safe area!
10:37 AM <Lily> "Oh Jesus Christ." Edith ducks out the way.
10:37 AM <ihp> Not firing /well/ mind, you, but still.
10:38 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> (Am back)
10:38 AM <Talonair> Kit gallops for Mantle
10:38 AM <ihp> Mickey Mantle is out cold.
10:39 AM <Aphex_> Hans goes to help if he can!
10:39 AM <ihp> ….

10:39 AM <Glacon> Don1Charles: perception Charles tries to find another radio: 9 (4df+6=+, 0, +, +)
10:39 AM <ihp> Was that radio there a second ago?
10:39 AM <Don1Charles> (Spoke too soon)
10:39 AM <ihp> On top of Mantle's unconscious body?
10:39 AM <Talonair> Kit grabs Mantle
10:41 AM <Don1Charles> Charles goes to radio
10:41 AM <ihp> It's speaking in the style of a radio drama. "Suddenly, in Fenway Park, one dark, weary May night, a centaur appeared, as if from nowhere, along with a French Saboteur, an Italian fighter, a war veteran, and a German with regret in his heart."
10:42 AM <ihp> The burning, chaotic Fenway Park vanishes around you, and you're back in what you think is your own universe.
10:42 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> ~what the…~
10:42 AM <ihp> …only problem is that the Sox are playing the Yankees, and you just appeared on the Pitcher's mound.
10:42 AM <Lily> "…Oh dear."
10:43 AM <Aphex_> ~Oh hell. An entire stadium of amnestetic use…~
10:43 AM <ihp> Yogi Berra, the one from your universe, has his jaw drop as he sees a horse across from him, and Don Larsen, the not-a-pyromaniac pitcher, is knocked flat on his ass.
10:43 AM <Talonair> "…." Kit freezes
10:43 AM <Talonair> "Umm."
10:43 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "And that ladies and gents!"
10:44 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "Was our mid time show!" He bluffs
10:44 AM <Don1Charles> "Kit is the mascot, maybe?"
10:44 AM <ihp> Bluff
10:44 AM <ihp> "WHAT THE—" the Mickey Mantle of your universe stares and poitns at the body of his alternate counterpart. "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
10:44 AM <Talonair> "Mascot?" She angrily whispers at Charles
10:44 AM <Aphex_> (Can… can Hans intimidate the whole stadium?)
10:44 AM <Don1Charles> Charles shrugs, he was tired. "I dunno." Can Charles persuade?
10:45 AM <Lily> "We are not going to be able to deal with this on our own let's get out of here and let the bosses decide what to do."
10:46 AM <ihp> You can hear a helicopter overhead.
10:46 AM <Aphex_> "…Agreed."
10:46 AM <Lily> "…this better not be on television."
10:46 AM <Don1Charles> Charles keeps his mask on tight, looking up to the helicopter. "Thank god."
10:46 AM <Talonair> "It will be."
10:47 AM <ihp> It stars descending into the stadium. The pilot tries to say "Get in!" and "Why the hell do you have Mickey Mantle unconscious there?!" which combine into "Why the hell do you get in!"
10:47 AM <ihp> "GET IN!"
10:47 AM <Lily> Edith swears quietly. "Out of our hands now."
10:47 AM <ihp> "Once we're clear, we're gonna rain this place!"
10:47 AM <Lily> She climbs aboard!
10:47 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> Fiere gets I
10:47 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> In*
10:47 AM <Talonair> Kit does her best to get on board!
10:47 AM <Talonair> … Is it even big enough?
10:47 AM <Don1Charles> Charles will, and help anyone climb who needs it.
10:47 AM <Aphex_> Hans does as commanded.

10:48 AM <Talonair> That very much depends. How long in in-character terms did the game end up lasting for?
10:49 AM <ihp> It was half an inning, so about half an hour.
10:49 AM <ihp> well, half an inning plus murder.
10:49 AM <Talonair> Right. Then no

10:50 AM <Talonair> "FUCK."
10:50 AM <Talonair> Kit gallops
10:50 AM <Don1Charles> "Bye Kit." Charles says as he climbs up into the helimachopper

10:50 AM <Glacon> Talonair: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA: 9 (4df+11=-, -, +, -)
10:50 AM <ihp> The rest of you are lifted on, and flown out. When Kit gets clear of the stadium, the pilot speaks into their radio, "Rain them out!"
10:51 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "Well this was an… experience" Fiere mutters
10:51 AM <Aphex_> Hans lights another smoke, then groans. ~What a shitty mission that was…~ His head goes thunk against the metal interior of the helicopter.
10:51 AM <ihp> Rain clouds form over the stadium, and only the stadium, as they fly off. At some distance away, they can see it raining.
10:51 AM <Lily> "Let's just get home."
10:52 AM <ihp> "Did you know that controlling the weather is against the Geneva Convention?" The pilot jokes. "We got something that lets us do it all the time!"
10:52 AM <ihp> "Amnestic rain. How about that?"
10:52 AM <ihp> Kit gallops to the S & C Plastics building, where several scientists greet her with facepalms.
10:52 AM <Talonair> Kit continues galloping. The harbour is… 4.5 miles away
10:52 AM <Talonair> Oops
10:52 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "Wait what?"
10:52 AM <Talonair> "NOT MY FAULT."
10:52 AM <Don1Charles> "That's incredible." Charles says, dryly, looking out of the helicopter
10:53 AM <Aphex_> "Certainly against the Convention…"
10:53 AM <Klurg|Aximiam> "Why is that against the Geneva convention?"
10:54 AM <Aphex_> "Possibly falls under the biological warfare section… I believe that has its own section."
10:54 AM <ihp> "…we're gonna have to do it to most of the city," the pilot sighed. "And imagine if you could make it rain acid. We use it for stuff like mass memory wiping."
10:54 AM <Don1Charles> "I didn't know we had that sorta technology."
10:54 AM <Talonair> Kit hurries inside and huffs
10:54 AM <ihp> "…who the hell is talking about technology?"
10:54 AM <Lily> "I think we just about fit outside of such conventions."
10:55 AM <ihp> The pilot grins, and flies off into the night. Once Kit changes back, they're all set on a plane bound for Europe, and Site-77, with an alternate-universe Mickey Mantle in tow.
10:55 AM <Talonair> Kit sheepishly greets everyone on the plane
10:58 AM <Talonair> "Sorry about that.."

7:56 AM <Don1Charles> I guess… literally just Charles goes into the bar, keeping his wits about him, his hand's dug into his pocket's, each gripping something
7:56 AM <ihp> The bar has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, with the smell of fresh beer being poured into glasses, and food being served, usually chicken wings… but everyone is just staring at the radio like the broadcaster has gone bananas. "What the hell?" Someone asks, getting up to adjust the dial.
7:56 AM <ihp> The channel changes, and it's much of the same. "Up next, highlights from the Baltimore Terrapins game. But first, a word from our sponsors, the Hartell Chemical Company."
7:57 AM <Don1Charles> Charles looks at it. He looks around at everyone, sliding up his sunglasses. "That certainly is not normal broadcasting." Well, he had to say something that sounded cool
7:57 AM ⇐ Klurg, Knyght and RosyBud quit
7:59 AM <ihp> Everyone in the bar looks at Charles like he's mad. "Commies got into our radio," mutters one of the guests. "Hey, you there, whack it a couple of times!" he says to Charles. "Maybe it'll spook the reds out."
8:01 AM <Don1Charles> Charles laughs a little, slipping his sunglasses back on. "Fucking Russians." He turns to the radio, taking a step towards it, but he does not 'whack it' as described. He carefully extends his gloved leather hand, taking one of the wires and bending it into an 'L' shape, wary of it exploding or something
8:01 AM <ihp> "I said don't touch that dial, punk," The radio suddenly spouts. Nobody else seems to notice.

8:04 AM <Don1Charles> "You are. A talking radio." He mutters under his breath, laughing a little, hoping he did not look too crazy.
8:06 AM <ihp> "No, I'm goddamn Richard Nixon. You wanna fuck up my broadcast? Fine. You can be the main event instead!"
8:06 AM <Don1Charles> "I'd rather not."
8:06 AM <ihp> A fanfare starts playing in your ears, Charles.
8:06 AM <Don1Charles> Charles takes a step back, before shutting his eyes and cursing at the noise. How loud was it?
8:07 AM <ihp> Loud enough that you don't notice your surroundings slowly change… pause for a bit.
8:07 AM <Don1Charles> (Okey dokey)
8:20 AM → Klurg and @Orionbasher (opped) joined • SpookyBee → SnoozleBee
8:56 AM <ihp> Edith, one of the other players pulls you aside as another fight breaks out. "You wanna fuck them up some?" he asks, taking out a pouch of… oh god those are explosives.
8:56 AM <ihp> Grenades. Shaped like baseballs.
8:56 AM <Lily> "…that's one thing I /can/ do." She takes them.
8:57 AM <ihp> And… there appears to be a blowtorch in there as well. "MLB bats can't hold up to certain heats," he explains. "If we can fuck up their bats, we can fuck up their hitting."
8:58 AM <Lily> She nods. "Seems like a flaw."
8:58 AM <ihp> "Now, if I were you, I'd go after Mantle and Bauer's equipment. Bauer's easy to spot, his bat is the size of a canoe."
8:58 AM <ihp> He looks out towards the right field, where an imposing nine-foot tall armored figure stands.
8:59 AM <Lily> "And Mantle?"
8:59 AM <ihp> "His bat has the most bloodstains on it. Also, there's kind of a chain of ears coming off of it."
8:59 AM <ihp> "Like, off the handle."
8:59 AM <Lily> "Euch. Okay."
9:00 AM <ihp> "…if you really want to fuck 'em up bad, though?" He looks at the fight going on on second base. "You got silver?"
9:00 AM <Lily> "Not on me."
9:01 AM <ihp> "What about freaky lady with the freaky hair and the weird thing on her neck?"
9:01 AM <ihp> He's… probably talking about Kit.
9:01 AM <ihp> Probably.
9:02 AM <Lily> "Perhaps. I will ask." Edith moves to kit and speaks in a hushed voice. "Kit, do you have any silver in your possession?"
9:02 AM <Talonair> "My rapier is silver laminated."
9:02 AM <ihp> "Can you… un-laminate it?" The player asks. Judging by his headgear, he's the catcher.
9:02 AM <Lily> "I am not sure if that would work."
9:04 AM <Talonair> "I cannot."
9:04 AM <ihp> "Well, can you shank him with it if you get up to bat?"
9:05 AM <Talonair> "I fully intend to."
9:07 AM <ihp> Might be a bit late for that… something's happened on the field, and Hans appears to have downed him.
9:07 AM <Lily> "Or not. Anyway, yes- saboutage?"
9:09 AM <ihp> "There's a tunnel from this dugout that leads to the other, it's under the bench." The catcher lifts it up, and ushers Edith inside. "Get in there, but just be out by the time they're up to bat."
9:09 AM <Lily> "I'll be quick. Kit, Charles, make sure you delay them."
9:10 AM <Lily> Edith secures the grenades and blowtorch before crawling down into the other dugout

9:43 AM <ihp> "Where the hell do you come from? England? Manchester Divided once killed an entire stadium! On purpose!"
9:44 AM <Lily> "France."
9:44 AM <Lily> She glowers.
9:47 AM <ihp> "Ah, you ain't s bad then."
9:49 AM <Lily> Edith sighs and settles to watch the match.
9:51 AM <ihp> "Oh! No guns, either."
9:52 AM <Lily> "Of course."
9:55 AM → Lazar joined • Marshall → Marshall|Art
10:15 AM <ihp> The outfield is still occupied by two giants, literally: Mickey Mantle, standing at six foot tall, foaming at the mouth, glaring at the one coming for him, the nine-foot juggernaut of a man, whose skin appears to be armor-plated.
10:15 AM <ihp> As Mantle sees the sickle-bearer go down, he yells to the nine-foot man, "GET THE BALLS FROM THE DUGOUT!" And the nine-footer slowly starts plodding over.
10:16 AM <Lily> (Lmao)
10:17 AM <Aphex_> Hans goes after Mantle once the other Giant is out of the way.
10:17 AM <Aphex_> He takes his time walking over, dragging a bat behind him.
10:18 AM <ihp> "COME TO FUCKING SCRAP?!"
10:19 AM <Aphex_> "…" He lights up a smoke.
10:19 AM <Aphex_> "…yes, actually." Can he roll to intimidate?
10:20 AM <ihp> He can
10:21 AM <Aphex_> 4df+8 (INTM+SPEC3) "…" It's just the same edgy bloodlust look. No grin, just murder-eyes.
10:21 AM <Glacon> Aphex_: (INTM+SPEC3) "…" It's just the same edgy bloodlust look. No grin, just murder-eyes.: 9 (4df+8=+, 0, -, +)
10:21 AM <ihp> 4df+2 "…"
10:21 AM <Glacon> ihp: "…": 1 (4df+2=-, 0, +, -)
10:22 AM <ihp> Mantle damn near looks like he's gonna piss himself. He takes a -3 penalty on all combat rolls.
10:22 AM <ihp> 4df+3 Including this one! He throws a bat at Hans just as the dugout explodes.
10:22 AM <Glacon> ihp: Including this one! He throws a bat at Hans just as the dugout explodes.: 3 (4df+3=-, 0, +, 0)
10:23 AM <Aphex_> 4df+3 (AGI) "…" Hans walks up- attempts to dodge- then keeps walking if he succeeds.
10:23 AM <Glacon> Aphex_: (AGI) "…" Hans walks up- attempts to dodge- then keeps walking if he succeeds.: 5 (4df+3=+, +, 0, 0)
10:23 AM <ihp> He goes past quite easily.
10:24 AM <ihp> Mantle raises his fists.
10:24 AM <Aphex_> He doesn't intend to kill, but maim. He raises the bat and attempts to break Mantle's kneecaps.
10:25 AM <Aphex_> 4df+7 (MEL+Bonus) Kneeclipper!
10:25 AM <Glacon> Aphex_: (MEL+Bonus) Kneeclipper!: 7 (4df+7=+, +, -, -)
10:26 AM <ihp> 4df+2
10:26 AM <Glacon> ihp: 3 (4df+2=0, 0, 0, +)
10:26 AM <ihp> He takes two damage, and falls to the ground. "FUCK YOU!" he screams.
10:28 AM <Aphex_> "Shut up, save your breath for questioning." He goes for a quick KO so he can help the others if need be.
10:29 AM <Aphex_> 4df+6 (MEL as to not kill him)
10:29 AM <Glacon> Aphex_: (MEL as to not kill him): 5 (4df+6=0, -, +, -)
10:29 AM <ihp> 4df+2
10:29 AM <Glacon> ihp: 1 (4df+2=+, -, -, 0)
10:29 AM <ihp> He's KO'd.
10:29 AM <ihp> He's missing a tooth, even.
10:30 AM <Aphex_> Time to run back to the others, come back for this punk later.
