[Bolin is finally in Twilight Town and he's holding up a poster. It looks like he might have just torn it off one of the nearby walls.]

I know some of you have been here before, right?

So...what's Struggle? The poster doesn't say much about it but I'm guessing it's a...game?

How do you play? Is it hard? Do you need teams?

[He realizes he might have asked a few too many questions.]

Sorry, I guess I just miss probending a little TOO much.

[Since he'd gotten there, Roxas hadn't really left Twilight Town. Ghost town though it was, it was familiar to him, and the closest thing he had to home. The Usual Spot was still there, and so he'd sort of made camp. He didn't really want to go see if his room was still there, or if that had just been a part of the digital world.

Bolin appearing on the communicator (which he was still trying to figure out) was a breath of fresh air. This was something he knew about. Struggle was still a thing, and that was a relief in itself.]

Yeah, it's a game. It's not hard, unless you're up against a tough opponent.

[Bolin is so glad someone answered.]

Okay, but how do you play and what are the rules?

[Bolin looks back down at the poster and then holds it up for Roxas, pointing to the picture.]

I'm guessing it involves this...club, right? I mean, that's either a club or a VERY large chicken leg.

[Pause, Bolin goes back to studying the poster. Food Eating contest? You have to "Struggle" against the food? Yeah, he's got nothing.]

It's a bat, a foam bat.

[He sighs. Pence would probably like the game a lot more if that was the case...but maybe not. It's not like he knew the real one.]

You're facing off against one other person, and you're sparring with the bats. The goal is to land hits and make the other person drop orbs, which you have to pick up. Whoever has the most orbs by the end of the time limit wins the match.

Ah.

[Bolin listens intently. In some regards it sounds a little like Probending...but only in the vaguest "you hit people to get points" sense. Still, it didn't sound too complicated.]

Okay, that doesn't sound too hard. I guess now I just need to find someone to practice with.

The poster says games are held in the Sandlot. Do you know where that is?

It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. I used to play it all the time, so I might be able to help.

The Sandlot's just off Tram Common.

Right. [He's...pretty sure he knows where that is.]

Were you very good at it? Could you show me the ropes? Please?

Yeah, yeah I was pretty good at it.

[His voice seems to gain a conviction that wasn't there before. Fake or not he did win that tournament.]

Meet me at the sandlot and I'll show you how to play.

I'm Roxas.

Nice to meet you Roxas! I'll be there as fast as I can!

Oh, and I'm Bolin.

I'll be waiting. You'll probably know it when you see it. There's a lot of sand.
