Accidental Video 010

[usskickass]

[A small, slightly stocky child in a dress sits against a wall in one of the hallways. It's clear she doesn't know she's being recorded. Soft, pitiful sniffles can be heard. If her damp face is any indication, she's been crying for a while.

For how upset she is, she's being awfully quiet about it.

The girl rubs her nose on the collar of her dress and scuffs her shoes on the floor.]

[Yuu comes back and tosses the ball back to her and takes his stance again. Gonna knock it out of the park.]

I think it's spar! [Akihiko giggles.] Yeah, I can't either.

Oh, my name's Akihiko. What's yours?

[paper-knight.livejournal.com]

"Who?"

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

Dunno. Big enough.

[action forever]

[She looks up and, after a moments confusion, recognizes him. He hasn't deaged as much as she as, after all.]

Shannon...

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

Shannon. Are you okay?

[He tilts his head.]

Do you need a hug?

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[She does the step-by-step pitch again, and this one is even closer to straight on, although that might be to her disadvantage in this particular instance.]

:E html bork, oops

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

My crocodile! She's still here, isn't she?

[She was a baby, is she an egg now?!]

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

Shannon. Um, people usually call me "Coach" when I'm bigger, but...that seems silly now.

[She covers her mouth, shy.]

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[This time Yuu hits it, but it's not exactly a home run. It would probably be a foul ball if they were playing on a real field, but whatever, there are no base lines, no one can call it foul.]

Ha! That was good!

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes widen slightly. Part of her realizes that this is probably weird, since normally she isn't so little and all, but...

But she really really wants a hug, and a cute boy just offered, and...]

Yes.

[wings-of-vanth.livejournal.com]

I'll call you Shannon now, and Coach when we're grown up again.

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

[The child gives her a gentle hug. Hugs cure everything, just like what ice cream did, after all.]

Did you have a really bad dream, too?

it's cool bro!

[paper-knight.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, I didn't know you had a crocodile!"

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

Yeah!

[Shannon fetches the ball this time, and gestures for them to switch.]

I wanna hit now! Gimme!

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[Shannon makes small, distressed noises, clearly torn between the library and checking on her crocodile. Or egg.]

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

Okay! That's good.

[Smile!]

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[She nods, putting her arms around him too. It has to be a fair hug, after all.]

I guess everybody did.

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[Yuu obliges, passing her the bat and taking the ball from her. Once they're both in position he throws an underhand pitch. It's high, but over the place where the base would be if there were bases.]

Dang! I'll try it again.

[wings-of-vanth.livejournal.com]

Um, you wanna go play a game or something?

[urnewkingbitch.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it looks like everybody's alright, so maybe it was just a really bad dream?

[He won't let go until she does, unless they're at a stalemate.]

[skyfetish.livejournal.com]

[ Alto frowns ]

Uh-huh. I don't like that either.

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[Luckily Beiste didn't swing. That would've been silly!

She tosses the ball back.]

It's okay!

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

Sure! What game?

[usskickass.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

You're really pretty, though!
