[ Life in Death City hasn't been too difficult to get used to. There are a couple differences from back home, but it's usually nothing a guy like Tsurugi can't handle. Some of his friends people from back home have even shown up recently, so things aren't looking too bad.

But there's one thing he can't quite adjust to.

See – it turns out not everyone in Death City comes from a world obsessed with soccer. Some of them don't even know what it is. And that's terrible. Especially since a certain group of soccer boys would like to get a match or two going one of these days.

So he has come to the network with a very important question. ]

Who here has played soccer before, or has at least heard of it? It doesn't matter if you're any good or not. Let me know.

[ First Valentine's Day...now this? ]

What's that?

[ Soccer is life!!! ]

It's a sport. You score points by getting the ball into the other team's goal without using your hands.

permavid!

[dragneel]

[ That's not a valid answer! ]

Without usin' your hands, huh...?

[ he mulls over this and decides it sounds like a fun challenge. ]

Can ya use magic?

permatext!!

[superseed]

We don't have magic back home. [ Technically it's true. ] We use hissatsu techniques.

[ Which are kind of like magic. Well, they can be magic themed anyway. That counts, right? ]

[dragneel]

Don't have magic?

[ That's horrible! ]

Guess it's a pretty common thing in a lot of worlds, though. But these his sausage techniques can be used without magic, right? Could you teach me 'em?

[superseed]

[ So horrible. Even Edolas had magic. ]

No. Our hissatsu techniques don't work in Death City.

[ Not that he would teach you if they did. ]

[dragneel]

[ That's stingy, Kyousuke! ]

Your abilities too, huh? [ He slumps. ]

Seems like everyone lost a little somethin' comin' here.

[superseed]

Could be worse. I can still play soccer without my Avatar or hissatsu techniques.

[ Only it's like being a kid and having to impersonate the players who can use them. ]

[dragneel]

Think your meister or weapon ability would be one of your techniques?

Oh no. I dropped my html in that last tag. The shame.

[superseed]

I wouldn't be surprised if that's how things worked out.

[ He's not about to go into the soccer ball Weapon form thing.

Not when he doesn't know about his own abilities, and this guy has only just heard of soccer. ]

omg I can't believe you. I can't continue this thread now.

[dragneel]

Probably is. A few people told me that you're likely to have a power similar to somethin' you can do back home.

No I'm sorry please don't leave me.

[superseed]

Is that how it is for your ability?

okay, okay. But don't let it happen again.

[dragneel]

Yeah! Took me a while to figure it out, actually. Only figured it out by mistake. Apparently you can't use some of your meister abilities unless you're usin' a weapon.

and then this tag was late oh man the irony of it all

[superseed]

One of my teammates here is a Meister, and he said his ability was like soccer. What's yours like?

why u break my heart like this

[dragneel]

Ohh! You guys gonna team up, then? You can be a soccer team!

And mine? It's like one of my fire abilities back home.
