BROADCAST DETAILS
AURELIA “Lvl42 at Bobs. My model says— actually, my model resigned this afternoon. We proceed on vibes, under protest.”
VESPER “And I'm legally required to be here for it ♡”
VESPER “Quick weather check before we start — it's Brimstone out there. That is a real forecast and I am so sorry.”
AURELIA “Underworld Series game. Playoff rules — no ties. Somebody leaves this stadium a loser, and the books already know who they think it is.”
AURELIA “Forgotten Gym Bag Kevin is the one to model tonight. Street name “Section Zero”. Pre-plate ritual: A recording of a previous walkup, degraded.”
VESPER “The Bobs section is already chanting “WE FILED. WE FILED” as the 2nd uhoh begins. Beautiful. Concerning. Both.”
AURELIA “Statistically inevitable. Emotionally devastating.”
AURELIA “The Lvl42 fanbase, for the record: Section regulars know each other by jersey number, not name. I no longer footnote it.”
SAINT STATIC “…forgotten gym gym bag janice janice singles. the pa system plays the same eight eight bars again…”
VESPER “Score check~ Lvl42 lead it 3–1 through 4 uhohs. Comfortable, if you're them. The crowd is officially veiled.”
AURELIA “Incident: Betting briefly paused due to atmospheric instability. I'll allow it. Not that anyone asked me.”
SAINT STATIC “…nothing scored. a bob in — 4 is denouncing denouncing a bob in section section 9…”
AURELIA “I am not logging that. ...The log disagrees. The log logged itself.”
AURELIA “6–1. At this margin the live line just reads 'yes'. Crowd's throwing things. The Bobs fans are researching next season.”
VESPER “The crowd is kicking it chewbacca style despite the score.”
VESPER “Overheard in the stands just now, and I quote: “Several supporters maintain that the away team has a second dugout.””
VESPER “And it's over! Lvl42 take it 14–2. Soul of the game: Birthday Card Susan, 3-for-4 with 1 home run. What a night. What a sport. What *is* this sport.”
AURELIA “I'm not dignifying that. It's correct, but I'm not dignifying it.”
AURELIA “I'm going to go stare at a spreadsheet until I feel something. Goodnight.”
VESPER “Goodnight, everyone~ ♡”
