[ 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: ]
[ Text locked from Ken Amada ]
Could somebody teach me how to play soccer better? I'm in Goldenrod, right now..
action; ...see link
[ Miles will assist. 8( ]
Not really, but she acts a little like my sister. [ ...which means trouble. ]
action; ...will smith can make anything sound serious
[ Urk... ] Does your sister know about that?
action; ..OH THAT'S WILL SMITH? I SERIOUSLY JUST GOOGLED "SERIOUS FACE"
A-as if..! [ She'd cry again sob ]
action; IDK IT LOOKS AT HIM. I'M BAD AT REMEMBERING FACES/NAMES
Yeah, let's keep it that way then, alright?
action; IDK MY CELEBRITIES, MAN.
Of course... [ siiiiiigh ]
action; IDK MINE EITHER NOR MY MUSIC OR POP CULTURE OR ANYTHING 8'(
[ A nod and oh look, they're in the park now. Talking while walking is neat. ] The day is pretty good out today. [ WHICH IS GOOD unless Miles wants to play soccer while it's raining... ]
action; ALL I KNOW ARE--...idk 8(
[ REAL MEN PLAY SOCCER IN THE RAIN, HIDING THEIR TEARS AND SWEAT IN THOSE OF HEAVEN'S--- ]
It is, isn't it?
action; 8( let us sit together as we cry over this
[ OH IS THAT SO? THEN THE NEXT TIME IT RAINS, MILES, SOUJI, SOCCER PRACTICE AT 4PM ]
[ A nod. ] After that heavy rainfall and bug invasion, it's nice to finally have a nice day.
action; I'll hold you tight and you can use my cravatissue )':
[ 4PM. GOT IT. ]
You'll jinx it, Souji. [ But he's chuckling a little as Pip goes to RUN AND ROLL IS THAT SANDPILE. ]
action; and I'll return it to you like... 8 years later-- wait, how long was it? I can't remember 8(
[ DON'T BRING THOSE SISSY RAIN COATS. REAL MEN PLAY OUTSIDE ONLY IN THEIR BOXERS ]
[ He follows in chuckles. ] Well, it's a good thing I don't quite believe in jinxes then. [ Oh, probably a good time to let his Pokemon out. PIP LET THIS VAPOREON, JOLTEON, FLAREON, EEVEE, AND RIOLU CHASE AFTER YOU THEN ]
action; Seven! :D
[ AND THEN WE GET A FEVER AND PASS OUT LIKE A BOSS. ]
[ CHASE? OH OH OH ARE WE PLAYING TAG? PIP CAN PLAY TAG AHAHA CATCH ME IF YOU CAN-- ]
... It really is a nice day.
action; dang, I knew it was seven! that's like the magic number of years in aa
[ BEST DUO EVER. IT WILL BE BRILLIANT ]
[ PIP YOU'RE OLDER THAN ALL OF THEM, TOTALLY NOT FAIR. THIS JOLTEON IS GONNA GET YOU SOMEHOWWWW ]
[ A nod then looks back down at Miles. ] So, how about we practice some soccer now?
action; Totally. Fifteen seven seven!
[ VERY BRILLIANT. AND PESS IS HALF THE SIZE OF ALL OF YOU ANYWAY HE'S JUST REALLY FAST ]
..Okay..! [ He is so trying no to be too excited. ]
action; lucky seven everywhere! and that loser fifteen alone
[ JOLTEON IS PRETTY FAST TOO BUT DANG PIP, YOU'RE RUNNING FASTER THAN SONIC OR SOMETHING!! ]
Alright, how about you try to score a goal on me? [ Oh, Miles. Souji is totally smiling at this whole thing. Lil Sis, it's like a blue moon when you get excited. ]
action; sob they only made it fifteen because of the limitations ;A;
[ RUNNING IN ZIGZAGS, BETWEEN SOUJI'S LEGS. ]
A-- [ but you're so tall ] Okay..
action; they need to have more fifteen years then ;u;
[ Oh God, those Pokemon better not run around like this while their trainers are going to play soccer. Someone is probably going to break their skull or something. ]
Swing post to the 'no littering' sign is the goal. [ NOW GO FOR IT, MILES. Souji is getting ready and... how good is your aim, Miles? Are you going to like... have the soccer ball hit Souji in the face or something... ]
action; m-more people conspiring? ;A;
[ Pip is used to weaving through hotel rooms filled with a dozen Pokémon and two trainers. HE'S OKAY. ]
[ Miles drops the ball he'd been holding, rolling it around under one shoe. His aim is.. fine. But his kicking is kind of weak ;;
But he tries. 8( ]
action; THEY'RE EVERYWHERE-- and I thought I fixed my html fail there-- LJJJJJJ o9
[ But Souji's Pokemon are not. PIP TEACH THEM HOW ]
[ Souji easily stops the ball with his foot because... Yeah, Miles... That was seriously a weak kick. ] Your kick is kinda weak. How are you kicking the ball? [ With your toes or the side of the foot? ANSWER QUICKLY ]
action; LJ is a douche lately 8(
[ You gotta be smaller B[ ]
Ken taught me to kick with the side of my foot.
action; seriously 8( Plurk too, I'm afraid
[ wh-- how does that work? Should they be... stepped on by Souji's Kanto starters? ]
That's the proper way, but your kick is still weak. Maybe you just need practice?
action; all the internets. >:c
[ ... no you just gotta deal with it man ]
I think so - I'm not usually that active..
action; beat them into submission! >8C
[ ...that's not fair, bro ]
Books?
action; S&M!!! i mean--
[ Survival of the fittest, guys. It's science. ♥ ]
Yes.. I was always studying at home.
action; ...yun /shakes head
[ Don't get Ema Skye on me, young lady ]
Outside too. [ Referring to the day when Souji took Miles to the park. He totally saw you studying something in that notebook. ]
action; ...i'm sorry
It would be bad if I neglected my studies too much. There aren't any schools where I could get any science or language [ or anybody who could teach him law ] but I asked Nurse Joy to write down some math problems for me.
action; why would you even...
action; i'm just a terrible person 8(
action; how could you hide this from me 8(
action; because you'll judge ;A;
action; I'll never judge you, bb ;u;
action; aaaaah bb ;w;
action; i love you that much ;u;
action; I LOVE YOU MORE
action; LIES! YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE
action; DO YOU HAVE EVIDENCE TO REFUTE ME, GOOD SIR?
action; YEAH IT'S...JUST NOT HERE.. YUUUUUP
action; MUST BE PRESENT TO COUNT
action; SHUSH YOU'RE NOT THE JUDGE
action; /GROWS A BEARD
action; NOOOO, YOU'LL BE CLUELESS THOUGH
action; IT'LL BE FINE I THINK
action; YOU /THINK/...
action; I DO THINK. IT'S VERY VALID, THESE THOUGHTS.
action; YOUR THOUGHTS ARE INVALID
action; ;A;
