Calvinball Cont'd
"So, as far as I can tell, it began with a modified baseball field - not a diamond, because it had nine bases, more or less. Owain deemed himself batter, and me the pitcher. Gwynneth decided that a bench in the middle was a jail, and a water bottle the magic implement which, if contacted, sent you to jail. Owain realized that touching the ball froze you. Ball and bottle counteract each other, defreezing or freeing you, respectively. Naturally, a huge, rideable plastic car had to be involved, so there was much pulling and riding, shrieking and freezing as the thing careened across the not-exactly-a-baseball-diamond. When everyone ended up in jail, we improvised a baseball game on top of the bench."
