Monk Reporter Warty: Jorren keeps on rapping, he’s augmenting his beatbox with splashing around. It looks like there’s some real technique in his splashing! I bet he’s better at swimming than normal! At least for now folks! Looks like that mental tic tac toe game has worked on Jorren’s favour! Looks like he played the snake’s mind like a fiddle and got it thinking where to bat. I bet the snake thinks it chose the batting spot itself, but I know a successful mind game when I see one, do you think he did the old “Oh boy it’d be bad to bat here” fake reveal trick? No time to answer cause OMG will you look at that the Knobbywood is one with the crowd if I didn’t know any better folks I’d say he’s literally IN the crowd! But no I’m joking he’s still at first base crushing it, augmenting the chants of the fans, augmenting the beatbox and his crotch thrusting is off the charts - kids look away! I gotta say I don’t think Orestis is crying anymore guys.
Monk Reporter Snorty: Yeah that’s right Warty, if you look closely he is just trying to get his flasher to work. Looks like it’s working just fine and he’s freaking out for no reason! He seems to think that it emits darkness.. for all I know that’s true but it’s probably handy underwater anyway! We’ll see what happens if and when the ball goes underwater.
Warty: Sure sure, but it doesn’t look well for him otherwise.
Snorty: Yep yep yep, looks like he spent too much energy freaking out and his water-reading skills might be off..
Warty: No luck on reading those water currents right?
Snorty: You got that right!
Warty: .. and is that Snowfrog?
Snorty: Yep! That’s our new number 24, the other shortstop. Her fascination with oats has kept the team fed looks like! And I can tell that her accuracy is up.
Warty: Oh what makes you say that Snorty?
Snorty: I wouldn’t be a good reporter if I’d reveal my sources Warty
Warty: I thought reporters had to have sources?
Snorty: Not anymore! Ha!
Warty: umm.. okay.. OH WOW did you see that? Looks like she’s trying to decipher what the snake’s composure is! Look at her focus it’s incredible! Snowfrog is focusing more and more.. but she doesn’t seem to be able to see beyond the snake’s shiny skin. Her failure is only making her more and more determined to read the snake though!
Snorty: SHHHH!!! Let her focus! It’s obvious she’s reading her special mind reading ability.
Snowfrog is determined. She puts her shyness aside even if it’s for a split second and pierces her gaze right through the snake’s own eyes! Its thoughts are there. Clear as day:
“WTF isssss going on? So loud in here! This is throwing me off my game!! At least this catcher revealed where I should bat! Ha! Sucker! Nobody can out trick me haha! Is she looking at me? Makes sense cause I’m so gorgeous! Like.. too gorgeous? I even manage to pull this shitty blue streaks off! Wow still looking at me, should I wink? She’s too far from my reach but maybe I can get close later. I just need to remember to keep my poison fangs to myself! Where was I? Hmm this beat and the fans are so loud but boy is this beat catchy! Unts unts unts baby.. I wonder what I should have for breakfast later, but the thing with..”
Snowfrog becomes too self conscious and pulls her gaze out of the snake’s. Looks like she figured some stuff out about the snake.
Snorty: Okay I think she’s done now. I think it’s time for Pitchoris to step up and -
Warty: No wait! I think that’s Stavros mysteriously moving!
Snorty: You’re frogdamn right he is! Looks like he’s putting his blinder on very very silently! If it wasn’t for us here I think it’d go unnoticed. OH WOW the blinder is effective though! That snake is messed up it can’t see well! I bet it’s reflexes are gonna be off!
Warty: And its accuracy!
Snorty: You bet you bet. Well it’s time for Pitchoris to step up and throw the first pitch!
Warty: The moment we’ve all been waiting for! I wonder what ball he’ll use
Snorty: And I wonder what limb he’ll use to throw it
Warty: or tongue!
Snorty: Also, where will he aim??
Warty: We’ll find out after the break!
Snorty: and what will he do? Overhand?
Warty: Underhand?
Snorty: Does it matter?
Warty: Not sure
Snorty: Me neither
Warty: Will you let me have the last word for once?
Snorty:……….No
OOG: Cool stuff guys! Thanks for giving the mechanics a go so far! It’s time for Pitchoris to state what ball to use, limb or tongue, and where to pitch!
Pitchoris: Thanks to your team-mates, you know the snake’s composure stat, and you know that its accuracy and reflexes have been affected as the stats show! YOU ALSO KNOW WHERE THE SNAKE WILL BAT (THE GREEN ROW ON THE GRID) - JUST TO CLARIFY, YOU WANT THE SNAKE TO MISS THE BALL (AT LEAST NORMALLY).
1) State here what ball you’ll use and how you’ll throw it.
2) go to the google powerpoint link here. Use the accuracy circle and put it where you want to aim. (ON THE LAST PAGE)
3) go to the roll link and Roll your accuracy stat check to see where the ball will end! Just tell me your score and I’ll take it from there.
There’s more hints to stat reveals on the snake’s thoughts that Snowfrog revealed with her mind-reading abilities.
Strap in for the next phase guys! Feel free to do whatever you want as Pitchoris gets ready to pitch! You can obviously still try and do stuff to affect the snake but outside mechanics etc..
Warty: Boop
