50th Inning - 100% drone - backdated to the 4th

Scout is out on his lawn.

He is watering it with a hose.

He is wearing a golf shirt and shorts.

If this isn't true horror, I don't know what is.

He gives least he gives you a friendly wave when you go by!

"Hey there! All ready for the fireworks tonight?"

[Just

staring]

[freakinblur]

Hey there, Kay! Enjoying the holiday?

[thief_of_truth]

Uh... yeah, I guess so.

[freakinblur]

You don't sound like it. Once everything gets going, I'm sure you'll have fun! The neighborhood's really shaping up.

[thief_of_truth]

So, uh, what happened to that blue shirt you usually like to wear?

this hurts to write

[freakinblur]

Oh, the baseball clothes? It's time I grew out of that stuff, don't you think? I've got a family, job and home, I don't have time for kid's games.

[thief_of_truth]

But you were going to teach me how to play!

[freakinblur]

Sorry Kay, but shouldn't you be keeping an eye on your house and the kids? Who has time for baseball?

[If this doesn't scream "droned Scout", nothing will.]

[thief_of_truth]

School's out, so Keiichi's home too. Guidance counselor, remember?

[freakinblur]

Oh, that's right. Good man, that Keiichi!

[They've never met.]

[thief_of_truth]

Yeah, I bet you two go way back, huh?

[freakinblur]

Oh yeah! We... [He might be 100% droned, but there are those moments that seem blank. He pauses, looking confused.] Ah, we went to high school together, you know.

[thief_of_truth]

Baseball team, right?

[freakinblur]

Um… Yeah! That was it. Man, what an arm that guy had

[thief_of_truth]

Yeah? But I bet you were an even better batter, right?

[freakinblur]

You got it! Pally, I hit so many home runs that ya wouldn't even believe, ya--

[He stops, blinks and looks pretty confused. Then goes back to smiling.] Yeah! I was pretty good.
