[ Action for Goldenrod City ]
[ With (1) Ken Amada awake from his week-long nap, upsetting stories about the future shared, a few hours' worth of sleep invested in, and an altogether crazy weekend past, Miles Edgeworth is finally sinking back in one of the couches in the Goldenrod Hotel's lobby. It had been one long, exhausting week, especially with three crying women (or two crying girls and one crossdresser) to attempt consoling.

[ He rubs his face with his hands, a gesture he picked up from Merlin over the months - and as Pip the Growlithe crawls onto his lap for a quick nap, and a young Eevee (unnamed, because she has absolutely hated every name Miles has tried so far..) walks over, regards her trainer a little haughtily. She nudges him until he folds up the jacket he'd taken off, and it's only then that she settles on the pillow and curls up to sleep, as well. Miles regards her with one raised eyebrow and a mutter under his breath that suspiciously sounds like, "almost just like Franziska."

[ Pulling his Pokégear out of one pocket, he lightly scritches Pip behind the ears as he flips open the gadget, eying the date on the screen. June 24th was still almost a month and a half away... but that doesn't stop him from taking one deep breath and turning on the Pokéconnect.

[ It's been awhile since he's directly addressed the Network, actually, and longer since he's asked the Johto inhabitants a question. He's been getting used to being self sufficient, but for once - this once - it can't be avoided. No amount of von Karma tutelage could help him with this, so he starts typing.

[ And then one message will pop up in the Johtonians' inbox today: ]

Could somebody teach me how to play soccer better? I'm in Goldenrod, right now..

That would be really great. I'm afraid I don't know anything about the sport..

[tarotcards]

I'm not much of a soccer player, but I can help you practice if you need it.

[ This is why Souji has joined basketball, not the soccer team but not like he's super great at basketball either... ]

text; OH MY GOD ICHI. GO GET REST FSHLDKJFH

[miniworth]

I'd like that. I'm not good at anything but chess, but soccer is something I want to be able to play.

[ And this is why Miles doesn't do sports. But for Ken's birthday. o9 ]

[tarotcards]

How much do you know about soccer so far?

[ I expect there will be a lot of kicks to the shin during a soccer match with Miles... ]

text; SOB YOU POOR THING ;A;

[miniworth]

Kick the ball, get it into the goal. Only the basics....

[ Um. There was a broken window last time... but that was Ken. ]

text; MILES+SOUJI CR IS HELPING MY PAIN EASE THOUGH ;u;

[tarotcards]

I think you might be good enough. What are you having difficulties in then?

[ ...well, Souji will remember that then... Miles, let's go play in a place far away from Kurt's windows and go get some shin guards. ]

What's that?

[ Plain and simple. Give me answers, yo. ]

[miniworth]

[ He's getting prepared for these kinds of things. 8|a ]

It's a sport in some worlds.

[dreamstrikers.livejournal.com]

Ooh, a sport? What do you do in it?

[ text ]

[miniworth]

The basics of the game is to kick a ball into the opposing side's goal.

Miles-kun...?

[ there's a Vaporeon putting his paws up on Miles' lap while Kisa, Pikachu and Arcanine in tow, heads on over. ]

[miniworth]

Kisa..

[ He greets the Vaporeon by holding out a hand for him to sniff as he turns to smile at the approaching girl. ]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

[ Shigure is less jealous than he was as an Eevee, mainly because he's so much cooler now, so he gives the hand an obligatory sniff and nudges it a little. ]

... You look tired...

[miniworth]

[ He gives Shigure gentle scritches, other hand placing the gear back in his pocket. ]

Just a little. I didn't sleep so well last week. [ But he waves his freed hand in a "don't worry" gesture. ] How are you?

I am unfamiliar with the game Soccer.

[miniworth]

It's also referred to as "football" in some countries, especially in Europe. Perhaps you've heard of that?

[text]

[useddestinybond.livejournal.com]

Ahh, that I am somewhat familiar with. May I inquire as to why you need to learn about it?

[text]

[miniworth]

My friend enjoys playing the game. His birthday is coming up late next month, so I thought I might learn it so we could play it.

Miss Vanille..!

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

What are you doing down here? Waiting for you friends? Ah! [Oh, speaking of adorable...Pokemonnnn. She smiles at the sleeping Growlithe] Is this the puppy?

[miniworth]

I'm just resting. [ He pets the puppy. ] He is - this is Pip.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

It is a nice hotel even outside the rooms...[She pets Pip too then turns serious] Hey, I didn't thank you for helping me when I was sick...Thank you! If there's anything I can do to repay you let me know, okay?

[miniworth]

Oh.. it was no problem, Miss Vanille; please take care of yourself more, though.
