Simon nodded in acknowledgement of Avenger's expert throw, not a hint of awareness of the use of Magecraft in the precision toss that the cyborg ninja had performed. And indeed, many souvenirs had been purchased, much revelry had been had, the trunk was filled to pack with miscellaneous bobbles and snowglobes that Simon had seen and bought/stolen shamelessly. And the ninja stars, couldn't forget the ninja stars. The CD clicked into place audibly as the intro to the CD started, a slow build up with pounding drums and screeching feedback for maximum impact. Phobia groaned as he realized just what was playing, was it too late to object?

Almost certainly.

Simon's head bobbed along with the tune, not so much because he enjoyed the edgy musings of the latest album from the hit band, but more so because it was annoying the living hell out of Phobia. Simon noticed Kullervo opening the glovebox out of the corner of his eye, turning his attention to the Avenger as he pulled out their map to check out the various landmarks they had circled and emphasized. Lots of casinos from Simon, places of strategic importance from Phobia as he insisted they were here for a reason besides getting drunk and gambling, whatever Kullervo found interesting. Probably edgy stuff, seemed to be his taste. This assumption was swiftly proven wrong as the Avenger pointed out his current interest, Shadow Rock Park. A park? Really? Well it did have shadow in the name, so maybe it was kind of edgy.

Nope, he wanted to play baseball. Eh, fuck it. [color=FFD700]"Never tried baseball out, suppose now's as good a time as any to hit something really hard!"[/color] Simon replied as he yanked the steering wheel to the right hard, just narrowly entering the exit ramp without hitting the divider. Some more cursing in the background from Phobia, another wild laugh from Simon as he went way over the speed limit, tearing through the city recklessly.

Soon enough they were at the park, despite the many near misses and car crashes they almost got into on their way there. Simon hit the emergency brake as he squealed to a stop, perfectly within the lines of an empty parking spot. Simon looked out the window and frowned, turning off the emergency brake as he moved forward ever so slightly. Yep. Just outside the parking lines now. Anyone who looked at his car would be mildly annoyed, but not enough to actually call someone to tow him. Perfection.

[color=FF0000]"You are a child."[/color] Phobia muttered as Simon hopped out of the car, slamming the door shut behind him and shoving the keys in his pocket. The trunk was popped open as Simon rummaged around looking for something, before emerging with a large polestaff and a satisfied grin. 

[color=FFD700]"This should do! Alright, let's hit the park!"[/color] Simon cried out as Phobia fully receded into his shadow, too tired to bother arguing with his idiot of a partner. Baseballs of shadow were made, as well as an actual bat if Kullervo wanted one, with Phobia acting as the pitcher. Lights all around the park were shut off (smashed) to create a nice tense atmosphere, lots of shadows and darkness for the perfect ambiance. Simon would let Kullervo have the first swing as he stood off to the side, content with narrating as Phobia wound up the throw. 

[color=FFD700]"Alright folks, looks like we've got a doozy of a game today! On the away team we've got Avenger, the freshly summoned Servant from who knows where, looking to knock one out of the park today, not a shred of mercy in his bones as he eyes the thrower down with a vengeance! And on the home team we've got the shadowy and mysterious Phobia, a real brooder in public, but not many know that in private he's an absolute downer and nobody wants him at parties-"[/color]

Phobia's "eye" twitched as Simon went on, leaning his throwing arm back as he stared at Kullervo. He rolled his shoulder, took a deep breath, cracked his non existent neck-

[color=FFD700]"JUST THROW THE FUCKING BALL!"[/color] 

And the ball of darkness launched forwards at Kullervo, a quiet boom echoing through the area as the concrete shadow broke the sound barrier and rocketed forwards at Kullervo. Sheesh, what a weak throw.
