"Hmm…" She tapped her chin, before smiling brightly, "They’re really cute! And you drew all of them now?" Looking back at the board, Kinako pointed at a rabbit, "He’s so cute!"

[starakumo]

"Yeah, the janitor hasn't come in yet so I'm just messing around~" He scratched his cheek. "And well, I guess I didn't want to just stay in my room either. Confined places are pretty boring. If I have to be by myself..."

He half-spreads out his arms too just to make a point! "I'd rather it be in the open!"

At the comment on one particular drawing, he chuckled a bit. "Do you like rabbits, Kinako-san?"

[sunnykinakomochi-deactivated201]

Kinako was about to pass the room, only to back track a few steps and watch the boy draw more animals. 

"What are you doing?" She asked curiously, walking in, looking at the drawings already on the board.

[starakumo]

"Oh, Kinako-san!" This was a pleasant surprise. He didn't expect to see another old teammate. He tilted his head, not directly answering her question but just smiling brightly. He certainly seems proud of his handiwork!

"What do you think?"

If she said it could be better he'd be hurt...! Not that he wouldn't recover in a few seconds too. It's not like he was a professional or something, this was all for simple fun, passing the time as the clock ticked away.

[starakumo]

If you're passing by a certain first floor classroom on the way home today (it's already after school hours after all!) you may hear the faint noise of squeaking. It pauses now and then, but usually continues again after a moment's time. Look into the room and you'll see the redhead with his hand against his chin, holding onto a whiteboard marker on one hand and eraser on the other. He was smiling to himself, seemingly in the zone so to speak. Of what exactly? Well...

On the whiteboard in front of him in blue marker is... this thing. And on the side there are smaller cartoonish doodles of rabbits, other animals, and zigzags for grass. And a windmill. He was enjoying himself and didn't mind or see whatever glances he got from passersby, but he wouldn't be opposed to company. Drawing together would be fun, even if it would only be passing this one marker back-and-forth!

Or maybe you're just concerned about how much ink he's using.

At the question the other boy asked, Kyousuke stared out the window for a few moments as he thought it over. Did he mind being away from his family? Of course he did, wouldn’t anyone? Though he supposed Taiyou, being hospital ridden for such a long time didn’t mind it himself… assuming things like that was pretty rude, wasn’t it? Either way, he sure didn’t seem too worried about being away from home….

He was about to reply, saying something about it not really mattering, until Taiyou apologized. Sure, Kyousuke agreed the question was a bit personal, but he didn’t mind it too much. He’s sure Taiyou was genuinely curious, anyway, with no ill meanings behind it. So he decides sure, he’ll give Taiyou a straight answer.

He quietly sits down on the bed he claimed, placing his hands in his jacket pockets nonchalantly. “…I don’t mind it as much, being away from home. I came here out of my own will, anyway, I’m prepared to spend as much time here as I need to.” He looks up at Taiyou then, hesitating for a moment before speaking again.

”…I’m guessing you’re fine with being away from your family for a while, too.”

[starakumo]

It was a huge relief on Taiyou's part that Kyousuke didn't find the question to be too encroaching, and inwardly sighed in relief. But on the subject of his own parents, well... He should have expected to be asked that question in return, really. He puts on a smile as usual, though the subject of family continued to be something he couldn't talk about with confidence. He sure could try fake it though, and try he does.

"I'm sure they won't miss me too much!" He chuckled softly. "They're used to me being left to my own devices." Supervised by someone else more like; and that scenario was something he both liked and hated, but that's a subject for another time. He wasn't about to bore Kyousuke with details about his personal life, so he carefully hurried a topic change along.

Kicking back by sitting on his own bed across the way, he looked down at the floor. "I want to play soccer after all. It's really incredible to think we're surrounded by people who love the sport... And we can all hone our skills and talents." He looks up and puts on a more sincere grin this time around. "I'm looking forward to playing with you again, Tsurugi-kun."

[doubleedgedblade]

"Yeah." He walks inside, dragging his suitcase along with him. Taiyou seemed almost nervous about Kyousuke rooming with him… he wondered why? Perhaps it was because the two didn’t interact much before, despite being on the same team for a while… he almost felt a little guilty for that. It wasn’t as if he didn’t like the other boy, he just wasn’t an outgoing person…Ah well, either way, the two were forced to be sharing a room now so they might as well try to get along better…

Kyousuke sets his suitcase next to one of the unused beds and looks around the room idly, checking out the interior.

"…it’s interesting, isn’t it? A school made specifically for soccer players." Though with the popularity of soccer ever growing, he couldn’t say he was surprised something like this would show up. There were already places you could go to study up on soccer and become a better player, anyway…

[starakumo]

Taiyou placed his hands on his hips and laughed a bit. "It's pretty amazing, yeah." And only natural that players, skilled and newbies alike, would become interested and apply to the school. Then even renowned athletes could be scouted and invited. The campus was nice, albeit as of the moment of speaking it still wasn't very populated. It would only grow from here though! And who knows how many more individuals would pop up: both those they have encountered before once upon a time and those they have not.

He raised a hand to his chin, wondering aloud. "So... you don't mind being away from your family for a while?"

--Wait, that question was a bit thoughtless or rude, wasn't it? Not everyone was like his own case where he was used to being away from his parents for extended periods. And he also didn't have siblings of his own...

Taiyou could feel a bit of sweat run down the back of his neck and wished he could take that question back, but... How can he fix this...

"No, no forget it. That was intrusive, sorry Tsurugi-kun."

Obviously the smoothest roommate you will ever have. Not even ten minutes into meeting again and things are already awkward.

[doubleedgedblade]

A school just for soccer, huh? Of course Kyousuke couldn’t miss the chance to attend such a school, especially when he overheard a few of his teammates express their excitement about going themselves. He had even discussed it with his older brother, who excitedly pushed him towards the final decision of going. It couldn’t be too bad, right?

The day to arrive had come, and he packed what was necessary in a neat suitcase. This wouldn’t be the first time he spent a long amount of time away from home, but this was the first time attending something like a boarding school… who knows how long he’d be away this time? It admittedly made him a bit nervous to think about, but he shook any anxious thoughts away as he stepped inside of the school. He was here already, there was no turning back now.

As he approached his dorm, he began to get curious about who he was rooming with. Was it going to be someone familiar? Someone completely new? Were they going to be loud and outgoing or quiet and keep to themselves? He didn’t really mind who it was, he’d get along with them one way or another. Being around Tenma and the rest made him used to all kinds of personalities, even people who would try to get Kyousuke to do things with them wouldn’t bother him now. Though he would rather his roommate at least know personal boundaries….Well, anyway, his room was just around the corner, it was time to find out just who was behind that door—

Although, as soon as he reached the door, it flung open before he could even have a chance to reach for the doorknob. He stood there for a moment, a little surprised, but quickly he regained his posture and looked his roommate over.

"…Amemiya?" He didn’t expect to see one of his former teammates here… but he couldn’t say he was entirely disappointed. In fact, he was just a tad relieved to be rooming with someone he knew rather than a total stranger.

[starakumo]

Taiyou's eyes widened at the familiar face and he scratched the back of his head sheepishly, embarrassed now that he had greeted an old friend who was more on the silent end with such fervor. They were more-or-less the same age, but he knew he had to respect that Kyousuke wasn't openly affectionate as a person. He wasn't even completely sure about how well the other liked him, as they usually just related on basis of mutual friends such as Tenma and Shinsuke, though they certainly had enough chemistry as teammates on the field. "--Tsurugi-kun! What a pleasant surprise." But...? Wasn't this their chance to get closer as well? Things have to be looked at positively! Surely now his own doubts could be cleared and he would no longer be intimidated by Raimon's ace striker. It may not be immediate, but they could and would be good friends too...!? And the first step to that would be to keep the ball rolling in regards to conversation. "So are you the one moving in with me?" Judging from how certain the taller boy looked with directions at his place in front of the door and the suitcase beside him, of course that was the logical conclusion. Taiyou only really said it to be polite though. He takes a step aside and gestures an open arm. "Come in come in."

[starakumo]

A new roommate was coming in today, huh. Taiyou hadn't even had the time to settle in too much into his dorm residence by himself, and now he was informed he was going to share! Not that it was a problem, no. He was in quiet but still poorly hidden anticipation, seated in his room. He was going to study, but who could do that when he'd have the opportunity to make a new friend? As social as he was, Taiyou, in circumstances beyond his control, usually was a solitary creature.

He flipped his notebook somewhat absently, as his mind was still on the expected company.

Akin to a puppy waiting for its master to come home, he jerks up his head when he hears faint footsteps slowly but surely becoming more audible...! What should he say? How should he introduce himself? He won't scare him off by being too chummy, will he?

He scrambled to his feet.

Even before the other could open the door himself, late at grabbing the doorknob by maybe just a few seconds, the door swings open from the inside. "Welcome!"

[platypusagent-blog]

The brunette finally looked up after his stiff appology, rubbing his head a little - not like the rough surface of his glove made it any better. He looked at Taiyou shyly, shifting and hesitating to say anything.

There was finally Tachimukai’s chance to ask someone if they wanted to play soccer, but he only found himself muttering things.

"Uhm, you’re a new student here too, right?" he finally brought out, collecting all his courage. "I was wondering…. If you wanted to play some soccer with me!" Tachimukai shouted his last words a lot louder than intended, but the message was clear. This school was brand new and so every student was a newby - this was a perfect opportunity to make new friends through soccer, right?

[starakumo]

Taiyou blinked at the loud request, and for that pause, Tachimukai might've worried his invite would be rejected because it was too pushy. But that wasn't it at all! Taiyou was briefly stunned, but his delayed answer after a few more seconds' time was complete returned enthusiasm.

"Hehhh.... Soccer huh?" He pumped up his fists to chest level, eyes sparkling with excitement. "Of course! I'll definitely play soccer with you!"

He had been feeling the itch to play only a little earlier too! What a stroke of good fortune he'd cross paths with this person!

[platypusagent-blog]

“School of Soccer International" Tachimukai never thought such a school exists and especially not that he’d be accepted to join. But now there he was, walking through the hallways of this amazing school for and all about Soccer. He hasn’t been this excited since the day Tachimukai’s met Endou Mamoru in person!

His mind was filled with soccer and yet he didn’t play any! Surely the young male had to change that - but being a goalkeeper, Tachimukai needed a partner to try shooting goals. Nervously he sneaked around the dorms, hoping to find a partner. And just as he walked around a corner — "Oof!"

He walked into another person. "Ah! I-I’m sorry!" Tachimukai quickly apologized before even looking at who it was.

[starakumo]

Taiyou himself had been wandering somewhat absentmindedly around school. He was easily the sort who'd prefer hanging out with others than be by himself, but today he hadn't gotten to stop any of his friends for chat. At some point he decided to just give up and maybe head back to the dorm and flip channels for a while. There might be a good game on TV.

I really would rather play than watch though... Where is everyone...

But as he was about to turn a corner he bumped heads into someone, ouch!

"Wah!"

He rubbed his forehead and upon hearing Tachimukai's apology waved his hand dismissively with a small laugh; it was just as much his own fault as the other person's not looking where he was going. "It's okay, I'm alright. Are you?"

[starakumo]

Hello, this is the mun of Taiyou! I guess it's only right to introduce myself before anything else huh (since I saw other people doing it...)?

I'm Eli and I have experience dabbling in different sorts of RP: chatroom, forum, journal, and even in my childhood I loved doing live action, hehe.

That said, this is only my third time trying out tumblr rp, and my previous two excursions didn't work out: one from being busy and the other game fading out. Even so I hope the third time is the charm!

Let's all have fun! You can contact me by ask or on Twitter or AIM and Skype, just please ask if you want the IM ones!

WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?

Hm… anywhere on my planet huh. To be honest…! There are a lot of cool places, but I’m content just enjoying the great outdoors! Sun on my face, running against the breeze— There isn’t anything better!

Oh, but maybe I’d like to visit a river at some point when the weather is perfect. Then I’d learn how to swim!
