[Oh boy, regains! Scout always looks forward to getting things in the mail - for him, it's usually cool weapons, a neat hat... but not today, Mayfield. Today Scout pulls out from the mailbox a thin manila envelope. He's disappointed it's not some giant package, but he hastily rips it open to see what's inside. And what's inside can only be described as an extended Mayfield April Fools Joke.

It's full of rather, shall we say, scandalous, compromising photos of a certain enemy Spy and Scout's mom.

There's a long moment of Scout standing on the lawn staring at these, eyes wide and unbelieving, before the inevitable flip-out. Everyone on Mitchell Road can hear the endless stream of Southie-style profanities that suddenly erupt from house 1451.

Once he stops screaming at no one, Scout runs into the garage. After a few moments, he's out on the driveway with a metal trash can, some matches and lighter fluid. It's bonfire time.

Feel free to interrupt him at any point! Be warned, though, his temper is something fierce, and he's not about to share what he has.]

---
[Later, once he's calmed down and all the photos are disposed of, Scout will get on the phone!]


So, it's spring! And there's a whole lotta new people in town again. Well, welcome ta Mayfield, it sucks, enjoy yer stay. Anyway, spring means baseball season and I know a lotta youse guys are already interested in playin'. I wanna get at least enough fer two full teams. That means at least 9 ta be on the field, plus a coupla extras just in case. Let's say 20 people. Anyone can play, I don't care if ya totally suck, 'r don't even got baseball thanks ta whatever the hell kinda crazy world ya come from. If ya wanna learn, whenever I ain't bein' yer friendly police officer, I'll be at tha park. I can teach ya ta play. My name's Scout.

[Anyone interested will indeed find him there when he's not on police duty! Okay, even sometimes when he IS on duty, too. He has a lovely habit of practicing batting by just knocking balls down the street and into the neighborhood, not caring what they hit. Approach?]

[Scout's there of course, taking some practice swings. They look pretty strong! He's really into it.]

[Kay managed to find a catcher's mitt, and she's running up to Scout waving it in the air.]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!

Hey there! Looks like yer al ready ta go.

Date: 2011-04-12 04:46 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com
Yeah! So where do we start?

Date: 2011-04-12 10:50 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] freakinblur.livejournal.com
How 'bout ya tell me what ya actually know first?

[La la, the mun doesn't actually know all that much about baseball, but my headcanon says Kay is a Dodgers fan, so assume she's able to tell Scout what your typical casual baseball fan would know about the sport.]

The Dodgers?! Yer killin' me here! I GUESS I can still teach ya how ta play. How 'bout we practice pitchin'? Lemme see what kinda arm ya got.

From: [identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com
Hey, I'm from LA, remember? But all right.

[Kay takes the ball and backs up some, winging it at Scout. She's never done this before, so she's pretty much going on pure natural athleticism here. It's not quite 'you throw like a girl' caliber, but it's not really that good either. Her aim is pretty bad.]

[He jumps to catch it.] Wild arm ya got there. Not totally bad, I guess.

Awright, next time? Leggo 'a the ball right as yer hand goes over yer head. An' step into it!

[He tosses the ball back and gets ready to go catch again.]

Date: 2011-04-13 01:32 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com
Okay! Let me try it again.

[Kay changes her stance a little, putting more of her hips into the throw and releasing the ball at the top of the arc. It flies a little straighter this time!]

From: [identity profile] freakinblur.livejournal.com
Lookin' better already! Keep that up an' we'll be usin' you as pitcher.

Date: 2011-04-13 02:55 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com
Can you teach me how to throw curve balls and sliders and screwballs and fancy stuff like that?

Date: 2011-04-13 03:21 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] freakinblur.livejournal.com
Sure can, but ya need ta practice the basics first.

Date: 2011-04-13 03:31 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com
So we'll just keep practicing for a little bit, then?

'Zactly. Practice makes perfect an' all that!

Takeshi's gonna be so surprised!

Date: 2011-04-13 08:03 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] freakinblur.livejournal.com
Yer gonna get him ta join the team too, right?

Date: 2011-04-13 08:13 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com
Oh yeah, definitely!
