[Touma can be seen sitting up on what appears to be a very high location in a city. For those who know where he lives, he's on the roof access of his apartment building just enjoying the fresh air. Behind him is a pile of books that he's apparently been reading while he's been up there.

But for now he's messing around on a laptop computer.]

Hey, Makoto, you should let me know when you're free. I think anytime would be a good time for baseball currently. We'll be short on players but it will still be fun to hit a ball around if nothing else.

[He does something else then sets the computer aside so he can stretch out on his back. Now everyone has a nice profile of him while he relaxes.]

The weather is pretty nice today. Though I guess Nasuti would say that most people would think it's cold.

What's baseball?

[sky_protector]

[It's amazing how quickly Touma sits up for this.]

It's a sport played with two teams with the goal of getting the most points after nine innings, or rounds, to win the game. Each side takes turns using a stick called a bat to hit a ball that the other team must chase. The hitting player then runs around the bases and every time they reach home plate a point is earned for their team. At the same time the other team is trying to prevent this from happening.

[LOOK HOW EXCITED HE IS BY THIS, SHISHI.]

[Shishi blinks back at this. It took him a few seconds to digest the mouthful that Touma blurted out.]

Well, someone certainly is excited about this sport. You basically want to earn the most points, and in order to gain these points to win you need to hit the ball, tag all the four bases with out getting hit by the other team?

[sky_protector]

That's the basic idea.

You've never seen a game before?

[singingcherubs]

Nope. I never paid attention to human sports. They never involved any type of blood and gore.

[sky_protector]

Correction: They no longer do.

[singingcherubs]

......Do explain.

If it's a nice day then I'm free right now! I would have to change my clothing and get my equipment, but I can come over to play.

[sky_protector]

[Sitting up now!]

Really?

[thunder_empress]

Yeah, really! I did all of my homework and I got all of my shopping and chores out of the way. I deserve a treat!

[sky_protector]

I can do mine later.

If it gets late you can stay here. We have a spare room that you can use.

[thunder_empress]

Sounds like a deal to me, I'll be there as soon as I get a world hop!

[Change, get equipment, pack for overnight travel...and bring lots of tasty leftovers.]

[sky_protector]

Sure. Here is where you can meet me.

[Info...HERE.]

[thunder_empress]

Thank you! I'll be there.

What are you reading?

[sky_protector]

Text books on Ancient Japanese history, Calculus, and Astronomy.

[makewayforroze]

Being able to read outside is a small but important pleasure, isn't it?

[sky_protector]

I like when it's nice enough out to do it.

[sandinmyboots]

Taking a day off?

[information gathering time is noooow]

[sky_protector]

I didn't have anything else to do today.

[sandinmyboots]

Having fun?

[sky_protector]

Yes. I enjoy reading.

[sandinmyboots]

What else do you enjoy?

[sky_protector]

Why so curious?

[sandinmyboots]

I'm in a curious mood!
