02 [video] Backdated to May 1st afternoonish

[luxuriant]

Hey there, everyone! [The cheerful greeting is as loud as ever, and soon enough Zelos' face is grinning into the camera. When he backs up from it a bit, his free hand raises a soccer ball, tossing it lightly before catching it and hugging it to his chest.]

I'm looking to see if anyone knows how to play the game where you use this kind of ball. Some kids gave it to me when we completely aced the last mission, so... Heheh. [Pulling the most cocky face in the world right here, he raises his head a bit.] Anyone wanna help me out? If anyone's interested in playing, give me a call, too.

And if no one knows, well... [...] I'm sure I can make something up.

[And with that, he shuts the feed off. Though there's one more thing he adds on privately.]

[Private Text to Seifer]
Hey you got a minute?

Comments

[permaprivate text I'm lazy]

[douchebagging]

[God help him are they going to have more heart to heart time he might just die. I mean- he totally answers this immediately sure.]

I could. What's up?

[luxuriant]

[Hm. How does he handle this. Without awkwardness. He has no idea, so he'll just try to carefully go about this.]

Another sort of partner deal came up. I guess I could put it all in by hand but it'd be easier to talk if you had a few minutes to spare. Where are you?

[Sorry, he's a face to face kind of guy.]

[douchebagging]

[...It's like he can sense impending hell on earth.]

Library. You're getting me dirty looks. I'll meet you at your place.

[He'll start packing up to go do that...]

[luxuriant]

Aw come on now don't be like that. I'm sure they're just admiring your pretty face.

Anyway make that a bit south from there. The basketball court or whatever?

[That's... close to it so he figures it'll work. Do you like how he throws in teasing to make himself feel more comfortable, it's pretty sad.]

→ [permaction]

[douchebagging]

[...Basketball court. Really. Does this have something to do with the ball they got? He does know what basketball is is he going to have to correct Zelos or something here...]

Right. Basketball court. Got it. Be there in ten.

[And in ten that's where he'll be.]

[video]

[snowman]

You don't know how to play soccer?

[it's okay zelos, the master of fun and games is here.]

[video]

[luxuriant]

Is that what this is called?

[He glances at the ball, rolling it down his arm and onto his couch as he looks to the screen.] No idea. So that means you do, right?

[video]

[snowman]

There isn't a game out there I don't know. [and yeah he looks very proud of himself at that.] So you wanna learn how to play? You'll need more people to do it the right way, but then again, rules are boring so we could manage just fine.

[video]

[luxuriant]

[Heh... That's sort of amusing to Zelos, and he grins, kicking back a bit.]

Any way we could make it work in teams of two? [Partners vs partners would be fun. He's just thinking here don't mind him.] There's a whole lot of nothing to do around here, so it'd be nice to have some options, if you ask me.

You gonna show me or tell me how it's played?

[video]

[snowman]

Teams of two would work pretty well. One goalie and one player per side. And yeah, I think I can donate a bit of my precious time to helping out a poor ignorant soul like yourself.

[precious time that would otherwise be spent sitting in a fridge.]

[ video; ]

[blue_wayfinder]

I think that's a soccer ball. Some of the kids who were here before were pretty into that game.

[ video; ]

[luxuriant]

Hey, Aqua! ♥ Long time no see!

[You can assume he introduced himself in that last thread I failed btw w;A;w but yes he's looking so cheerful over here.]

That means you know how to play, right? You wanna join a meet up and play along?

[ video; ]

[blue_wayfinder]

[A quiet laugh.]

It hasn't been that long, Zelos. [But she doesn't particularly mind.]

I don't know the rules that well, but I know how to play a little.

[ video; ]

[luxuriant]

It's been long enough to me! [He jokes along like this, grinning even as he hears she can play a little.]

Oh, so you can? Want to drop by and refresh your mind of a few things with me, then?

[ video; ]

[blue_wayfinder]

[Why not?]

Sure. I don't have patrols until much later so it should be fine.

[Video]

[sayatakagi]

Soccer. It's basically a number of sports that involve kicking a ball with the foot to score a goal.

[Video]

[luxuriant]

Well, well, well, if it isn't Saya Takagi! You just couldn't stay away, right?

[He laughs just a bit. At this point he's really just asking to be punched by someone, isn't he.]

So it's as simple as that, huh? You ever play?

[Video]

[sayatakagi]

You are so lucky that I know you can stop being an obnoxious dumbass if you want to, else I would never speak a word to you again.

[ she scoffs ]

Yes, I have.

[Video]

[luxuriant]

[Oh. Like Tenten huh.]

I take offense to that! I'm not obnoxious in the slightest. If you're jealous all of my attention was stolen away in my absence before returning, I'm sure we can work that out. Catch up on things, have a drink or two...

[A snicker.] But great. Then why don't you come to the park where morning training is held? Oh, but not until later tonight. I'm trying to see how many people I can round up for this.

[Video]

[sayatakagi]

Don't be an idiot. Just because I know you can be more than some idiot who seems to be incapable of having a normal conversation like a normal human being, doesn't mean I will expose myself to your stupidity.

[ God, she wishes she could get him to respect her again. ]

Has anyone else shown interest?

[anpan_tan]

That's a soccer ball...

[luxuriant]

Wooow! Thanks! You sure are knowledgeable, explaining everything in so few words like that. What would I do without you!

[anpan_tan]

Without me you wouldn't know it's a soccer ball. Pretending that you know what you're talking about is not cool. Not even from a speaking carrot.

Though...

[There are many people who would doubt this but Yamazki's thinking over things!]

Though if that ball is yours it would be more precise to call it a sucker ball...

[luxuriant]

[VERY

LONG

PAUSE]

Man, I don't even have to diss that. It speaks for itself. But seriously, why do you keep talking to me?

[anpan_tan]

Yes, it speaks for itself...And I'm trying to tell you how to play soccer, you just don't let me talk. It is very rude, even from you, you know.
