VESPER “Quick weather check before we start — it's Bob War Reignites out there. That is a real forecast and I am so sorry.”
VESPER “Playoff Hellball tonight~ The stakes are real and so is my heart rate.”
VESPER “Any visions for the folks at home?”
HEX “Tell the folks at home to check their smoke detectors.”
VESPER “That's just good advice, actually.”
HEX “Bob's Cousin Bob is glowing tonight. Not a metaphor. Someone should check on that. “Ground Rule Agent”, everyone.”
VESPER “Word around the league: a favorite of the night shift at the Steakhouse.”
VESPER “The Bobs section is already chanting “SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. PROBABLY THIS” as the 2nd uhoh begins. Beautiful. Concerning. Both.”

SAINT STATIC “i tried being a weather once. they took it off the schedule.”
HEX “The score stands 6–4, Knives. The 5th uhoh approaches with intentions. I won't say whose.”

HEX “Final score 10–7. Knives prevail. Soul of the game: Empty Manila Folder Boris, 15-for-42 with 1 home run. The cards knew. The cards always know. The cards are insufferable.”
VESPER “All that under Bob War Reignites, no less. This league~”
VESPER “We're done here. The field isn't — but we are. Goodnight, everyone.”
HEX “Until the next vision. Goodnight.”
