Wednesday: Study Hall

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

The oranges were still there. Luckily Jamie and his dupes had found a use for them.

Which is why part of study hall was now a batting cage using oranges instead of baseball.

Hey no one said it was a good use of the oranges.

Study Hall is open. Sorry for the stickyness.

Not dirty.

Evan's continuing quest to do some reading in a sort of social setting led him, today, to Study Hall, where he'd been fully expecting to sit down and read his book in peace and quiet.

But when he stepped into the room, his expression lit up and his book was forgotten almost completely.

"Batting cage!"

It wasn't quite the same as playing in an honest-to-goodness baseball game, but it was the closest thing he'd found since coming to the island.

That of course got one of the Jamie's attention.

"Batter up!" he shouted as he threw an orange at Evan's direction.

Probably should have given Evan a bat first.

Probably! But Evan could wing it like a champ! His Uncle Cluster had taught him how to improvise, after all.

He gave his book a good swing, and sent the orange flying back toward Jamie. It was decidedly less messy than a bat would have been, true. But it was almost as fun!

"I don't suppose you could spare me a bat before throwing the next one?"

He could just form his arm into one, if it came down to it. He knew a bit of shapeshifting, after all. But when faced with the option to smack fruit around with a malformed limb or an actual baseball bat...

"Oh! A bat!" Jamie exclaimed. "Right that would have been helpful, wouldn't it?"

[genesishero]

"So they tell me," Evan replied, smiling broadly. "I try not to beat on things with library books if I can help it, you know?"

Even if it had worked pretty well.

"Yeah, the library will get pretty pissed about that," Jamie said with a nod as one of the dupes procured a bat. "And you don't want to piss of the library."

[genesishero]

"The librarian seems like the kind of guy who really, really takes his job seriously. And besides, books deserve more respect than that."

Evan probably would have swung just about anything that was handy, if he hadn't had the book in hand.

"Oh. I'm not talking about the librarian," Jamie said shaking a finger before tossing an orange Evan's way. "I'm talking about the actual library."

[genesishero]

Bat in hand, Evan gave a swing, and then blinked up at Jamie after the inevitable exploding of the orange that happened when he gave it a good wallop.

"The library itself? I knew weird stuff happened in there sometimes, but it actually gets mad, too?"
