[When Dutch appears on the MID screen she's about ready to turn in for the night. She looks vaguely sleepy, but she's still smiling.]

So someone inspired a particularly brilliant idea and I wanted to gauge interest among you Moirans. How many of you have an interest in playing baseball?

[She raises her eyebrows as it occurs to her that not everyone knows what baseball is.]

Ah... Right... It's an Earth activity involving hitting a ball with a... Pole or a stick of sorts. You run around a diamond and people try to tag you out before you make it all the way around. It's a little difficult to explain, but it's quite fun. I'm sure I could teach it to people if given the chance.

[She yawns, putting a hand over her mouth.]

There have to be more than two baseball fans aboard the ship, right?

Don't you mean Rounders?

[curiousnotmalicious]

Is it called Rounders where you're from?

[She raises her eyebrows and shrugs.]

Well, to-may-to, to-mah-to. We'll have to compare notes and make sure the rules are the same.

Ohhh, you can count me in! I love me some stick-ball-hittin'!

[lúcio is suddenly imbued with the idea of a ship hockey team. do they have hockey in space? he will make it happen.]

[She laughs and grins.]

Enthusiasm is always appreciated!

Re: video

[wallride]

That's one thing I can do! When are you planning on playing? We gotta spread the good ball word as much as possible if we're gonna have a full field!

[curiousnotmalicious]

That much is uncertain. We don't have teams just yet or equipment. [She winces.] So, you see, we're not quite there yet.

Re: video

[wallride]

You gotta be more positive, man! You've only just asked!

[curiousnotmalicious]

My fingers are still crossed for a game. I have hope.

Re: video

[wallride]

If we get this going, I only have one request.

We gotta do hockey, too.

[curiousnotmalicious]

Ahhh. [She nods, chuckling a little bit.]

Am I to take it that hockey is your favorite sport?

Re: video

[wallride]

You got it, man!

Have you seen the gym? We could move some stuff and get a match for anything you wanna play!

I've watched a game or two. Never played it myself, unsurprisingly.

Voice

[curiousnotmalicious]

[Only hearing the voice, she has no idea why he wouldn't have ever played a game.] You're missing out. I played it a lot as a kid.

Voice

[taselikeabee]

[ SO many reasons. ]

I've seen a lot of kids play it in the streets. Or in the parks.

Voice

[curiousnotmalicious]

[She can't help but wonder...] Why haven't you joined in?

Voice

[taselikeabee]

Making sure I didn't break cover was important. Later on, I just didn't have the luxury of time.

That and my size might have a lot to do with it.

[vengeance_driven]

Never played it. [He's always used a bat for other things.] But I am willing to learn.
