[Twelfth] - And Watch the Smiles Dissolve

[radiant_will]

[Early in the evening--while the sun is still up, but the day has cooled off a bit--Kallen can be found at John Doe park. She's exploring the exciting new sport of golf, having seen it on TV. A bag of used clubs sits on the grass beside her while she currently wields a 6 iron. She's acquired a bucket of balls and a few tees

[ . . . It is . . . raining golfballs.
Yuki does not seem especially perturbed as she watches one fly past her head and strike the ground. She continues to watch, even though another one a few minutes later has to be blocked by bringing her book up to cover her chest.]

[radiant_will]

[Kallen is rather impressed by that block, Yuki. She's also sort of concerned.]

Hey… you might wanna move. Behind me is probably the only place you'll be safe.

[bogusmagicker]

[Yuki silently tilts her head. And drifts to a position about three feet behind Kallen.]

[radiant_will]

[This proves to be true, more or less, as Kallen continues to plug away and mishit more balls.]

[dynamic_may_lee]

... Should I ask?

[radiant_will]

I saw it on TV.

[She takes another swing, and tops the ball. It goes about twenty feet.]

It looked a lot easier on TV.

[dynamic_may_lee]

I can imagine.

[radiant_will]

[She tries again, with a similar result.]

I don't get it. Those guys must have practiced for days on end.

You want to try?

[fuelefficient]

[my face when I can't play golf.]

Kallen-san...

[radiant_will]

[Glances over.]

Hi Japan. I don't think I'm really getting the hang of this.

[fuelefficient]

I do not think I could be of much help either.

[radiant_will]

Are there any sports you do play?

[When Soul decided he was going to spend sometime in the park today, he didn't think that would involve nearly getting hit by golf balls. Luckily, his reflexes are pretty good so when comes flying at his face he's able to catch it before impact.]

[radiant_will]

…

Nice catch.

[pianist_scythe]

Thanks. [throws the ball back in her direction] Angry about something?

[radiant_will]

Aside from how much this game sucks? There isn't much in particular. I thought I'd just try something different.

[this is one of those times where Cameroon wonders if he should be grateful his newspaper absorbed the impact of the ball or disgruntled that there is now a hug hole right where he was reading]

[radiant_will]

[Oh snap.]

Woah! You all right?

[riverofprawns]

I'm fine, but I can't say the same for the paper.

[he picks up the ball, tossing lightly in his hand] Not that there was much of interest in it.

[radiant_will]

That's not too surprising. The drones write all of it, don't they?
