Plot 151: Take Me Out to the Ballgame
Muse A has spent their entire life dreaming of playing major league baseball. Thankfully, they also have the talent it takes to pursue those dreams, and after a stint in the minors after playing for college, Muse A is brought up to play on the team they’ve been supporting since they were a child. Thing is? Being a rookie in the majors is a lot harder than they thought. Muse A knew that the rules and enforcement of said rules in the majors would be more stringent than college, but they didn’t realize HOW strict they would be. Getting photographed by the paparazzi while violating a mandatory curfew on more than one late night excursion has led the team to really buckle down.
Muse B, fresh out of college and pursuing a career in sports management, has been working for the team since the beginning of the season. In an effort to get on the radar of the team’s general manager, they’re making it clear that no job is too difficult. Deciding it’s time for Muse B to prove themselves and put their money where their mouth is, the team assigns them to work specifically with Muse A, corralling them into taking the rules and regulations more seriously before they get into any real trouble. Muse B thinks it’ll be a relatively easy task, they get along well enough with Muse A, they should be able to handle them.
The problem? Muse A doesn’t WANT to be handled. They get that they’re going about things the wrong way, but they’re slightly bitter that management isn’t trusting them to deal with it on their own. They're determined to give Muse B a hard time, and Muse B, set on proving themselves, is doing everything in their power to deal with it. How long will it be before Muse A pushes Muse B to their breaking point?
