[video] 5th grievance.

[vimyridge]

Okay. Baseball. I'm sure many of you have already heard America babbling on and on and on about it. So this is where the administrative part comes in

[Someone's waving two hands at the video feed~ :D]

I'm a good pitcher, Mattie...

[vimyridge]

[Awesome. He's grinning widely at that one.] You're number one on my list, Red.

[pristinestar]

Haha! You'll cheer for our team, then!

[vimyridge]

Of course I will. It'll be hard to displace me as fan number one.

[demon_heir]

I'm still interested in playing, but I also have some managing experience in case you're running short on those.

[vimyridge]

I'll definitely be keeping you in mind for that as well, then. [He's probably going to need all the help he can get.]

[demon_heir]

Glad to hear that. I'm Mion, by the way.

[vimyridge]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mion.

What is baseball?

[vimyridge]

[Oh boy. How to best describe this...]

Baseball is a game played with a bat and ball. There are two teams of nine players and it lasts nine innings. During an inning, each team gets a chance to bat and play on the field. The pitcher throws the ball to the batter, and the batter tries to hit the ball into the field. A player has to proceed around the diamond and a team scores once a player crosses home plate. Each team gets three outs before they're done batting. An out is three strikes. A strike is missing the ball three times during batting. It doesn't have to be in a row, either. Just three times. An out is also made if a player on the opposite team catches the ball after it is hit or if they throw it to a base before a player running to it makes it to the base.

[ he listens patiently. ]

An interesting game. It sounds as though it requires refined skills.

[He can't help but sigh softly as he nods in agreement.] It does take a bit of skill, yes. One needs to catch and throw the ball as well as be able to hit it.

But with a little practice, it can be picked up easily enough as I think the hardest part is really the hitting.

You're Canada?

[vimyridge]

Or Matthew Williams, if you prefer.

But to answer your question, yes. I am Canada.

[bringslife]

How can you be Canada and your friend be America? Those are countries. Unless you're just sort of-- nicknamed after them.

[vimyridge]

We're actually the personification of our respective countries. In our world, every country has a representative.

[chasingstag]

Oi, what's with you countries trying to advertise baseball when Quidditch is clearly the superior game?

[forgive his attitude.]

[vimyridge]

[It doesn't really seem to bother him.] To be perfectly fair, I was sort of pulled into this without much say. If I were to be frank with you, I'd prefer trying to play Quidditch over baseball, but I sadly missed the intial push.

[chasingstag]

I did agree to give baseball a try if America said he'd play Quidditch. [rubs a hand through his hair] Still don't see how it'll be interesting without anything flying-- but I said I would.

If you'd still like to play Quidditch, though, I might be having people come try to actually play for positions pretty soon. It's never too late.

[vimyridge]

You know... I can make sure that America comes to try Quidditch. [Whether America likes it or not.] Though I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not. He can be obsessive.

I- I wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes.
