the star player & a creaky old man

take me out to the ballgame
a. ) Peter had never been one for baseball before his time in Audentes, he can remember being a fan of the Yankees because Of Course He Was but other than that, his interest in baseball was limited at best. thanks to a certain someone, though, he's grown a large amount of fondness for the game. Maya desperately believes that he'll be a star pitcher one day, and that's probably not true, but thanks to spider-senses, he is actually pretty good at it.

He'll chat with teammates when he's on the bench, shake hands with the opposing team after a strike out, and during the intermission he practices his hits with his coach. Of course he spent some of the game with his coach, let's be real. Overall Peter doesn't do much beyond play the game, but there's a few times when he catches a ball that a normal human probably wouldn't have been able to reach, and so maybe he once hit a ball so hard nobody could find it.

But other than that, he's a perfectly normal player. Thanks for asking.

b. ) Graham is a much more sedate player. He has never played baseball before, and the huntsman seems to have a strange sort of enjoyment in trying new things, even if ultimately he doesn't like them much. Graham refuses the uniform, though he does take off his vest and leather jacket for the game. he's much better at bat than he is in-field, though if he manages to catch a ball he's eerily accurate when he throws it. He gets quite a few surprising outs that way.

The end of the second inning is crashed when a wolf catches a foul ball and refuses to give it back. Poor Brother just wanted to be included. To make up for it, Graham is seen playing catch with him during the intermission, and then the two of them laze in the computer generated grass for a breather before the game starts up again.

steel my heart samurai
a. ) If Peter is perfectly honest, his favorite part of the viewing party is not Steel Samurai — nobody tell Maya — but the range of snacks on display. His appetite has been limited lately, and honestly bingeing on a bunch of meatless junk food isn't much better, but at least he's eating something. Eating a lot, actually, but shh. He's half spider, he has a big appetite.

Otherwise, when he's not munching, he is watching whatever is playing with intent interest, though he'll whisper commentary to whoever is next to him at the time if they'll whisper back. Let's be real, it's usually Maya. Who else would it be?

b. ) Graham is a far better behaved movie viewer. He doesn't come alone, he has a softly snoring wolf he's using as a pillow as he silently observes, unbelievably intent on the display. It's only after it's over that he shares his thoughts, and you'd better believe he has some. He's possibly a little too thoughtful and intelligent about a children's show called Steel Samurai, but if you're close enough to him he'll definitely offer his thoughts and ideas on the plot. Don't you worry.
