END OF NIGHT
The Waterfrog takes in Snowfrog’s whispers as his own private ASMR session. “I’ll see what I can do” as he leaves the room singing the macarena.
Snowfrog intense lick wipes the stain completely clean and her mysterious vision of the frog of baseball past leads to more questions rather than answers. There’s a chance that in another dimension there’s an inning happening where the Macarena is integral to the success of the frogs. Or is it the past? Or the future? Such musings remain unclear and seeing her unique way of getting back to bed, Orestis and the rest are wondering if that’s another attempt of Snowfrog to claim parts of the room. Seeing her hide in her bed-nook, they believe she will watch them all night.
Knobbywood doesn’t care, he’s hidden anyway. As his chip tunes die out with a tiny grunt of frustration, Pitchoris assumes his Catcher friend-to-be messed up the combo and is now going to bed. Pitchoris forgets about Snowfrog and can’t help but wonder if the outcome would be different were the two buttons cleaned with his box of tissues. He struggles with that thought for a bit, while Orestis on the door-bed manages to resist the psychedelic pain in his eye, and a moment before he comfortably falls asleep, he drops his awesome ‘follow your dreams’ joke. Was it in his joke book or has Snowfrog’s psychedelic saliva given him divine inspiration? Either way, it’s funny and it puts Pitchoris at ease and he very quickly goes to slee-zzzzzzzzzz.
Stavros however is another story. He is so into his own nihilistic thoughts and pondering on the purpose of existence, that he didn’t even hear Orestis joke… or Snowfrog’s antics, or Knobbywoods clunky button presses. If only Orestis could see but he is already asleep. Stavros just ponders on the ethics of existence, tadpoles and destiny. He wonders if there’s a higher force controlling his thoughts and moves, and licks his own toes and farts on his own pillow. He then falls asleep taking in the lingering smell of cricket nugget farts.
The night comes to an end and Win remains on top of Sam, both snoring pretty loudly!
THE MORNING AFTER
“Wakey Wakeyyyyyy….!” The waterfrog wakes everyone up. He doesn’t seem to have the power to wake Win and Sam up. “Are these guys okay? Are they comatose or something? Wow I guess that’s my big word of the day! Comatose.. heh.. Anyway come on guys! Up you get let’s head to the dugout! The coach is waiting!”. The frog loads up Win and Sam on a wheelbarrow and guides the new MULLETTEERS to the dugout.
The MULLETTEERS find themselves in the dugout. There’s fans outside and they are already chanting. The room is below water level, with the sandbags keeping the water of the pond away. There loads of equipment lying around such as baseballs, bats, gloves, helmets and even how-to guides and literature on awesome baseball moves! In the middle of the room theres a little huddle area surrounding a map. The waterfrog unloads the wheelbarrow and points out “Hey Snowfrog! I worked all night but I installed a little stovetop and you can find 7 spoons and 7 bowls under there. Did my best but I could only get my mama’s breastmilk in such short notice!”
“Mama’s milk? What do you think we’re doing here? We ain’t raisin’ no babies here!” interrupts the Coach. “SORRY SIR!” shouts Waterfrog. “DIIIIIIIIIIIISMISSED!” As the Waterfrog leaves.. The coach rolls his wheelchair right in your face, and an awesome looking mysterious catcher is right behind him.
OOG: Nice one guys! You’ve been introduced to a lot of the storytelling mechanics so far and are now moving on closer to the baseball part of the story! :D The image has suggestions on what you can do, but you can literally do whatever you want. The coach’s chat is just suggestions. Just keep in mind that your characters are meant to be crunched for time.
Also! We have a new player! Welcome the other catcher! Jorren! Card and special ability added at the top! You guys are an awesome team to smash the snakes. In the innings you might need to talk to each other a bit to get the best chance to destroy the snakes.
Some of you managed to sleep and some of you didn’t. So that gives you advantages and disadvantages accordingly
Knobbywood - You stayed up a tiny bit more, so your awareness is a bit off. You get a disadvantage on your AWARE checks
Everyone else - you fell asleep okay so your stat’s remain as they are!
