Hm. Paris is extremely lovely.

Interesting how they assume that everyone is familiar with this "baseball" game- though I suppose the person who wrote that wasn't taking any worlds other than their own into consideration. From the context, I'm assuming that this "getting to first base" idea is an important part of the game? Is it how you win?

Not that I'm really interested in the sport, of course; I suppose I'm just a bit curious.

OOC: ... I'm sorry. I saw that Writer's Block a couple of days ago and couldn't resist. :\

I'll give you a clue. It's a euphemism for kissing, princess.

... No, it's referring to a sport called "baseball".

No, not really. The terminology in the sport is used as a euphemism for sex, all the time, in juvenile discussions about teenage dating.

I remember the first time I made it to first base! It was with Aoko.

Is baseball a sport typically played with your friends, then?

Oh yes, particularly this sort of baseball.

I've been made aware of that. However, the question above is clearly referring to the sport.

There are different kinds?

Two different kinds, actually.

Odd. I've only ever heard of one.

Well, all right. If you're so curious about the game...

Getting to first base is only the first step. You have to get all the way around the bases back to home to get a point. It's a pretty difficult game to explain. It's easier to just watch it.

Another hint: In the juvenile parlance, getting to home base is having sex.

Well, there's the game. And then there's the euphemism.

Ah, I see. Wouldn't they then put more emphasis on the importance of getting to "home" as opposed to first base?

... I wasn't asking for that information.

... I'm not asking about the euphemism. Neither is the question above.

Maybe they're putting emphasis on getting to first base because it happens much more often.

But then it would deserve less emphasis, wouldn't it.

Are you sure? I could be.

Well, not really. If you look at the question, it's assuming that most people would have made it to first base at least once in their life, to make it a general question. While people who made it all the way home would be less common, and wouldn't be able to describe the 'first time' they did it.

It clearly refers to the game.

The entire thing sounds like a double entendre to me.

Hm. I suppose I can see the logic in that.

Tsk.

What was it like the first time you made it to first base?

I told you, I've never played the sport.

I wasn't talking about the sport.
