[The feed clicks on to reveal Patrick, who looks like he's about nine or ten or so, and is wearing a navy blue Red Sox t-shirt with the number twenty six and "Boggs" written on the back. He remembers the Barge, knows how to work the filters and what an item does, and is even sort of a matureish ten year old, but he's still.. ten. So. He's talking while organizing what limited baseball equipment he has in his room.]

[Filtered away from No Barge Memory Wardens]

Anyone else remember the Bahge but still stuck lookin' like a kid? I kinda can't decide who's got it worse. I still kinda feel like I'm fahkin' ten again even if I remember everything.

Do our items really not work anymore? That's kinda a shit side effect. How many people are still grown ups an' whatevah? I wanna head up to the CES if enough people are interested in a game.

[Public]

Anyone wanna try to go up to the CES oah the deck oah somethin' foah a baseball game? Paddy was tryin' to push soccer, if anyone'd rather play that, but I got baseball stuff, and I don' think we've got a big enough court foah everyone playin' basketball, and I don' actually like soccer that much, so that's what I wanna play.

[He dumps two mitts, a baseball and a bat off to the side near the door before turning back to the camera.] Back where I'm from, we all played Little League and we took it fahkin' seriously. You don' mess with the kids from Dorchester on a diamond.

People aren't as crazy about it anymoah, from what I heard, 'specially with the younger kids. But it was a big deal foah me.

I'd prefer football. I've got a rugby ball too [he holds it up], but... I bet none of the Americans'll like that.

[knowsthepeople]

We don' really have rugby wheah I'm from. You evah try baseball? It's not that hahd.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I'm really bad at cricket? [That would be a no]

I'm better at sports with running and tackling and that kind of thing. I'm really fast!

[knowsthepeople]

You could always run the bases foah someone. One of the younger kids oah somethin'. [Patrick really wants this baseball game to happen gdi.]

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I suppose. Does that just involve running around? Like in, um, rounders? [oh no, he just made the dreaded Brit comparison.]

Doesn't rugby or football involve less kit? I mean, you just need a ball and some jumpers for goalposts.

Video. Not affected.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

[Raises her hand with a sheepish grin.] And I don't think I'll ever get over that accent.

Video. Still affected. :c

[knowsthepeople]

What's 'fahking'?

And you talk weiiiird.

[knowsthepeople]

It's a word only people in Bahstin say. If you'ah not from Bahstin, you don't say it.

No I don't. Everyone wheah I'm from talks like this.

[fivestepsahead.livejournal.com]

... Okay. I won't say it, but what does it mean?

It's weird to me!

[knowsthepeople]

It's a secret.

You've never been to Bahstin?
