[That's an idea he hadn't considered and he and Baymax face each other before Hiro attempts to shrug.] I mean...why not? They just said no robots and Tailmon's definitely not a robot. [A Digimon, sure, but there's a major difference.] Only if she's up for the challenge.
[Those gloves are pretty big. And can cats throw? It's a mystery for the ages.]
[Hikari smiled once at Tailmon's outburst, disappearing from view for a moment as she dipped down below the counter. A moment later, she reappeared with a distinctly white and...purple(?) cat standing on her head. Yellow paws clutching rather effortlessly at the ball now in her hand.]
I would hardly call this a challenge. Watch and learn.
[Tongue sticking out, she wound up and tossed the ball with a shockingly impressive speed, hitting the target dead-center.]
[At least Hiro likes cats and he grins. This is where he'd hold up his hands defensively and say something like "okay, okay, I believe you" but he can't, so instead he can only watch. The ball hits the bottles head-on and the vendor looks to be a mixture of impressed and also worried...but that doesn't make a difference.]
"Foul ball. Minus 10,000 points."
[Which really makes no sense.] Are you serious?! Reset the stack. [And then to Tailmon and Hikari:] We're...gonna talk about that later because whoa. But there's gotta be a pattern that they're marking down here. Think you can nail it from the side? [A glance at the vendor.] Go left at the same speed.
[Hikari tried to peek over the tabletop again, her frown just barely visible. Even she could tell that Tailmon had done a good job! To call a foul and subtract so many points...]
"Ya gotta play by my rules or there's no prize." [The vendor's just as every bit irritating as you can imagine and Hiro's frustration's rising while he stays up on his aerial perch.]
If a direct hit loses points, try only knocking out a few of them. [He has a thought, but it would depend on how the vendor plays the game.]
[Tailmon offered a few more low mutters about what she'd like to knock out before Hikari called her name. It was enough to momentarily calm her. So she could take another shot.]
[This time, it only knocked off the very top bottle, and the right bottle beneath it.]
[Poor Tailmon. It's fine, Hiro's not thrilled and the vendor certainly isn't. The score jumps up and Hiro watches the vendor's eyes as they move toward a few bottles.]
He's tallying different bottles with different points. Don't hit the ones in the dead center, that's what's causing the negative points.
Bottom left, top right, and the top. [The words are quiet so the vendor doesn't hear him even as he continues to watch him.] Just take it easy and knock 'em out one by one. That should do it.
[The vendor might not have heard, but Tailmon did. She offered a subtle, silent nod in return and picked up the next ball, winding up before tossing it straight at the top can.]
[Then followed it up with a second ball at the top right.]
[Then the bottom left. All within the span of less than twenty seconds' time.]

[Atop her head, Tailmon looked even less happy.]

Any idea which one will get me the most points? I have a lot of catching up to do after that first...score.
