Fifth inning. Middle of the game. There's more than half the game left to go. And when it's over, there's less than half the game to go.

No pressure, though, on either the Enigmas on the field or the Paradoxes coming to bat.

Carlisle is slow moving to the plate, tapping dirt off his shoes with the baseball bat.

Got to trip up the pitcher's rhythm. Of course.

Of course.

Assuming the pitcher has a rhythm and isn't just throwing whatever the hell she feels like.

Most of what Grace does is chaotic, and pitching is no exception. That doesn't mean she's not observant. When Carlisle walks up, she stretches a little more, actually considers the type of pitch she wants to throw.

After she pauses to admire him, that is.

"About ready?" she calls, laughing, as he taps his bat. "I would've brought snacks out here if I knew I had the time."

And probably a beer or two.

"Feel free to imbibe, dear," Carlisle calls back, readying himself into a stance.

"I could probably finish one in the time your pitch gets over here."

Oh snap.

Four and a half innings down, four and a half left to play.

The second half of the game starts now, with the Paradoxes taking their places on the field, and the Enigmas once again coming to bat.

Grace is back, dropping something in the dirt and swinging her bat on the way to the plate. She gets into position. Only then does she blow a steady stream of smoke out the side of her mouth.

If asked, she'll say smoking helps her focus.

Duo raises an eyebrow at her. "I'm starting to think you're following me, lady. I'd tell you I don't put out on the first date, but judging by my pitching, that'd be a lie..."

He winds up and delivers a ball juuuuust on the edge of the strike zone. Could be in, could be out.

"Name's Grace. And I'm not judging much by your pitching," Grace tells him, smirking. "Seems like that wouldn't be fair."

In or out, Grace swings. Strike one!
