Heavy Duty had been minding his own business, doing some maintenance on his laser cannon, when there was a sudden noise to his side. Looking up, he saw Kamakura slouched at the table, glaring at the opposite wall.

Raising an eyebrow, he first ensured he was at a safe stopping point before looking back up and asking, "What's the matter?"

The young apprentice snorted, his voice bitter as he said, "Just another reminder that I'm not human anymore."

Heavy Duty frowned, "What happened?"

Kamakura shook his head, but the other didn't give up, "Listen Kamakura, either you tell me or you sit there and stew until something bad happens because of it. Now which is it going to be?"

The vampire sighed, moving one hand to idly scratch at the table top, "The tv's on in the main rec room and it's showing a baseball game."

Heavy waited patiently for the rest, looking down occasionally to finish the work on his weapon. Soon enough, Kamakura added, "Well, I watched it for a bit and I wanted to play but before I could ask anyone else if they wanted to do a pick-up game, I remembered that I couldn't. I mean, there's the sun thing for one and I keep forgetting about the strength difference."

Heavy Duty winced in sympathy, "How about this then? Let me finish this, then we'll go find a ball, some gloves and a bat and round up a few of the other guys for a game."

Kamakura sat up, mouth opening to protest but Heavy cut him off, "First, remember who you're talking to. I've been having to mind my own strength since I hit puberty and if there's one thing I absolutely know, it's that you don't improve at something without practice. As for the sun, it's still overcast, isn't it? Just slap on some of that extra strength sunblock and you should be alright."

The vampire hesitated but gave in, "Thanks Heavy."

The man shrugged a shoulder as he finished up the maintenance work and closed up the laser cannon, "Don't mention it. Now, let me put this up and we'll go play some baseball."

Heavy Duty stood up, bringing the laser cannon up with him and he motioned for Kamakura to follow him. The apprentice got up from the table to do so, a bright smile on his face as they left to make the arrangements for the game.
