Level 42 6 — 7 Boat Boys
♡ Captain's Council convened. A Boat will become competent. Cute.
BROADCAST DETAILS
VESPER “It's us again~ Lvl42 at Boats. If you're just tuning in: don't worry about the sirens earlier. Unrelated. Probably.”
HEX “I see two outs. I see fire. I see... concession prices. Grim. All of it grim.”
HEX “Captain's Council incoming. I saw this in a bowl of soup on Tuesday. Nobody listened. Nobody ever listens on Tuesdays.”
VESPER “Hex, sweetheart, you're doing the thousand-yard stare again.”
HEX “The yard stares back, Vesper.”
VESPER “...and we're rolling!”
VESPER “Keep an eye on Forgotten Gym Bag Kevin tonight — fans call them “Section Zero”. Walkup ritual: A recording of a previous walkup, degraded.”
HEX “Word around the league: emotionally exhausting to watch.”
HEX “The chant tonight is “SAME THING HAPPENED LAST YEAR”. Third uhoh of my dream had that exact chant. We're on script, everyone.”
VESPER “This is why we can't have a normal sport.”
VESPER “The Boats section is in mid-season form already. Case in point: The fans know things about this stadium that the stadium authority won't confirm.”
HEX “1 all through 3. I've seen how this breaks. I keep seeing it. Look at them — slurmcore possessed — they almost see it.”
VESPER “Hold on, I'm being handed a— okay. The tarp deployed itself. Sure. Yes. Moving on.”
HEX “One run in it, Lvl42 ahead. The 7th uhoh smells like a hinge. Things turn on hinges.”
VESPER “An entire section did the wave inverted.”
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.”
VESPER “Overheard in the stands just now, and I quote: “Fans believe weather is choreographed seven seasons in advance.””
HEX “It ends 6–7, exactly as the dream showed me. Soul of the game: Wet Umbrella Dennis, 3-for-6. The dream also showed next week. No further comment.”
VESPER “And the Captain's Council? Never even apologized.”
VESPER “Stick around for the late edition. Or don't. I'm tired and I love you. Goodnight.”
HEX “Until the next vision. Goodnight.”
- ⚓ CAPTAIN'S COUNCIL: Earl (Captain Emeritus) finally figured out the glove. +1 GLOVE (now 7.4).
