Man, what a beautiful day! The sun is shining, the breeze is gentle, and being stuck indoors sucks.
It’s time to get out and throw the ball around.
Time to jump off the swings and see who can go the farthest.
Time to prove you CAN cross the monkey bars without falling.
It’s time to head to the playground.
Only one problem. Bullies. Not the kind that sit at the computer and spam your wall with “Butthead!!”. No, these are the kind that knock you down, sit on you and make you pick your own nose in front of everyone. Then eat it. These are the mean bullies, and they can ruin your day year.
Normally, you just avoid them, since they use fear, while you use speed. This time, something is different. Usually, each bully has staked out their area, and you can spot them at a glance. But this time you don’t spot them. It seems they have blended into the general kid populace, and plan to take over the whole thing. Meanwhile, some kids are playing normally, but some seem to be taking charge and organizing more fun.
Is that a real live kickball game going on over there? Are the bullies just gone?
Suddenly, a girl runs screaming to the Parents Table, slapping herself all over. Her mom grabs her by the hand, and begins brushing her off while dragging her to the car.
The Grapevine providers the scoop, she had an anthill thrown on her.
Wendy, Vanilla Town, has left the playground.

What's Happening?
1. I send out role PMs. Once they have all been sent, the thread will be open for confirmation.
2. Once the thread is opened, all players will have 60 hours to confirm.
3. Anyone not confirmed by then will be replaced.
4. Day1 will start, and last 21 days.
@Mod: I am very sorry, but I need to request replacement. This is an enjoyable game, however I simply don't have the time to be catching up 5/6 pages every day when I log on and playing catch up. It is moving too fast for me.

As play continues a rousing game of stick swordfight breaks out. A few kids head to the undeveloped lot next door to uproot some bamboo, while others head to the garbage cans to grab shields. Battle begins
As the melee makes its way through the playground, some mothers frown, but stay silent.
The maelstrom of whirling *swacks* gets to the seesaw.
In the rush past, Antihero, while grounded, gets knocked off. He lands with a dazed WOOF as all of the air is knocked out of him.
vijay2vasandani, up in the air, is not expecting his sudden plummet to the ground. He hits hard, rolls over, and sits up with a giant sob.
Their mothers come over to collect them.
Antihero has left the playground.
vijay2vasandani has left the playground.
Antihero was Town Mason.
vijay2vasandani was Town Mason.

While yesterday was rough, there is no obstacle to a good time. And if yesterday's events are a little hazy and don't seem the same, it's only because language inappropriate to the playground was removed.

Picked third for the kickball game, Seacore was catching everything that went up in the air. His team didn’t last long “at bat”, but his play kept the other team from scoring any points.
Waiting in line to play is not as fun as playing.
While Seacore goes to get a drink of water, the teams quickly confer, and a plan is reached.
The next time his team takes the field, Seacore is the pitcher. As he rolls one into the plate, the well-placed and well-timed kick sends the ball straight into Seacore’s nose.
The howl of pain causes the whole playground to stop and look. Seacore’s blood-spattered face brings his Mom quickly to his side, where she leads him, still crying and bleeding, off the field and to the Parents Table.

Kublai Khan runs over to the merry-go-round just as it’s slowing down. He jumps on, and it slowly comes to a stop.
“Last on, you have to push!”
With a grunt of annoyance, Kublai Khan leaps off and gets a solid grip in the metal bar. A few more people jump on,
but leave him alone to push. He strains, and gets the merry-go-round started.
Straining mightily, Kublia Khan goes around and around and around and around and jumps on!
But there’s no room, and he collides with someone and flies back off, scraping his arm and rolling 20 feet. Then starts the deep indrawn breaths as the stings of 10,000 ants attack his nerve endings.
drmyshotgun notices and says “Hey, that kid’s hurt!” while standing up to leap off and help.
A little shove from behind and drmyshotgun joins Kublia Khan in the abrasions and contusions club.
Their moms’ radar goes off, and they hurry over to collect their kids.
Mod, replace me, I'm not really sorry, I have another game I'm in, and two more which I expect to be in a month from now. I have a life and your game is boring so I'm cutting time where I can.
Beginning the search. If possible, please continue playing until a replacement is found.
