[ 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: ]

--! [ H-he turns a little red, sheepishly. ] N.. no, actually. I'm not really good at it.

How come you're so worried about it? Are your friends going to play? Let's learn, then! Should be easy, right? It's just kicking a ball around...Isn't it?

[miniworth]

It's almost my friend's birthday, so I thought I'd like to play with him without him having to teach me everything all the time..

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

So kinda like a birthday present, got it! There must be a book somewhere that can teach you...Or maybe a video! [Soccer for dummies] Why don't we look at the department store when you're not so tired?

[miniworth]

I-I think what I need to do is practice more. I know the basics, but I've only played soccer twice.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Do you have a ball? I have to work soon but maybe after I could help you!

[miniworth]

I do. [ There is a bag next to him. ] Are you sure, though?

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

What's there to be sure about? I've never played either but maybe you can still practice kicking the ball at me. [:'D]

dammit lj

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

What's there to be sure about? I've never played but I think you could still learn something, right? Even if you just kicked the ball at me!

darn lj o0

[miniworth]

I don't want you to be too tired during work, Miss Vanille.

[She laughs] Don't you worry about that! I've got plenty of energy! [She jumps to her feet] Come on, you won't practice if you don't do it! [It's true, you won't get practice if you don't practice.]

[miniworth]

[ Most logical. He nods, picking up his bag, and both Pokémon, before getting to his feet. ] Thank you, Miss Vanille.

[She runs a bit ahead] You're welcome! Is soccer any fun? I saw the boys at the orphanage playing it but they never let me join in because they said I would cry. [:T ...Which is true. /which I made up LOL]

[miniworth]

It was fun when I played with Ken before, but I never played it back home.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Let's show him how good we are then! [\o/ She is rarin' to go awww yeaah]

[miniworth]

[ ffff--- ]

If you say so..

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Of course! [She jumps around] Soccer soccer~ So how do we start, anyway? [:D]

[miniworth]

The objective of the game is to strike the ball by kicking into the opposing side's goal. [ but that's about all he knows ;; ]

FFFF sorry I forgot somehow OTL

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Okay! So....Where should we make the goal? How about I guard the goal and you shoot?

? it's all cool!

[miniworth]

We could go to the park, I guess. It's only a little ways off from here.

Re: ;a;

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Sounds fun! I feel like I'm a little kid now! [She laughs and just boots it. ...implying she ever acts like an adult]

;w; /hug -- also off to go shopping! bye bye~

[miniworth]

Even adults play soccer in my world, Miss Vanille.

Re: ;w; /hug --going to work anyway XD; so bye!

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Really? Most of the adults in my world like to play other games...Or they're too busy hunting. But great, now I can feel like an adult at the same time! [...So...herself.]

[miniworth]

Well... as a professional sport; some people play it to make a living.

[notjustsunshine.livejournal.com]

Whaaaa!? Really? I never would have thought that someone could play games for a living! [OO:] I guess you don't want to do that, do you Miles?
