♡ Curse weather. One stat is going on a little vacation.
BROADCAST DETAILS
AURELIA “Evening. Lvl42, Boats, Dad's Dock. I've seen the numbers. The numbers have seen me. Neither of us is happy about it.”
HEX “Don't finish that sentence. It comes true if you finish it.”
HEX “The sky says Curse. The sky rarely lies. The sky occasionally screams.”
AURELIA “Noted. Filed. Regretted.”
HEX “Stan (Also Captain). “The Void Closer”. I've seen their at-bats before they happen. So has the pitcher, unfortunately for the pitcher.”
HEX ““WE HAVE NOT LEFT” rises from the Lvl42 section. I heard it before they said it. I always do. It's exhausting.”
AURELIA “The Lvl42 fanbase, for the record: The fanbase has negotiated with weather on at least one documented occasion. I no longer footnote it.”
HEX “4–0, Lvl42. I saw this score in the steam off my tea. I'd hoped it was the tea being dramatic.”
AURELIA “The scoreboard operator looks bored.”
HEX “Lvl42 lead 6–3 through 6. I knew at breakfast. The crowd is transcendent — they're starting to know too.”
AURELIA “For continuity: it was Lvl42 running away with it at the last check. The delta speaks for itself. It won't stop speaking, actually.”
AURELIA “Your last three predictions were wrong.”
HEX “They haven't happened *yet*. There's a difference.”
AURELIA “There is genuinely not.”
HEX “Final score 11–9. Lvl42 prevail. Soul of the game: Suspiciously Damp Carl, 3-for-6 with 1 home run. The cards knew. The cards always know. The cards are insufferable.”
AURELIA “Noted. Filed. Regretted.”
HEX “Tomorrow's game will be worse. Goodnight.”
AURELIA “...yeah. Goodnight.”
