[closed] because access is a snootybutt

[faints]

Who: Roxas (faints), Nakama (whatagoodgirl), Flutterbutt (skitters), Access (???) (key_illusion)
What: Soccer practice!!
When: Late-afternoon on Day 83
Where: Gefion
Rating: A for awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[ Since it was the best time for most everyone to meet (and the only time he could convince Access to come outside), tonight's soccer practice takes place in the later-afternoon/evening in Gefion! In a larger stretch of lawn farther in than the most common areas since he knows that's another thing Access would prefer and it's hard enough to coax him out of hiding when it isn't already sundown.

He's of course the first to arrive because he's...well, excited. He's technically never played before but he can remember doing so numerous times in his false memories and it was a lot of fun. So this can't be any different right? This will be the BEST SOCCER PRACTICE EVER. ]


[ ooc; make your own sections & hop around NO ORDER HERE because timezones/life ;u; ]

[ aaaa he looks so excited, stopping them easily and passing back ]

Did you ever play much before?

[whatagoodgirl]

Just in gym class. I was really bad, though. The passing wasn't so bad, but I couldn't dribble at all, and I always missed the goal when the ball came to me on our side.

[Still concentrating hard, she passes back.]

[faints]

Yeah, dribbling can be kinda tough if you don't get practice in... Pence had a lot of trouble too. [ Fake Pence baww ] But your passing's really good!

[whatagoodgirl]

I'm working pretty hard. [She laughs a little.] I couldn't even tell you my name while I'm concentrating on doing this.

[faints]

[ pffft, he chuckles. ]

Well it's paying off--here, I'm gonna pass a little faster okay?

[whatagoodgirl]

Ah - okay! [She's ready. She can do this.]

[faints]

[ yeaahhhh go nakama!! He'll pass a bit harder just like he said, putting more force behind his next kick ]

[whatagoodgirl]

[She tries to block it, but it goes rolling between her legs and well past her.]

Sorry, sorry, I'll get it... [She runs after the ball and tries to kick it back, but the distance is too great, so it throws off her aim again.]

[faints]

[ Roxas doesn't mind ;u; he runs after it with a grin, trapping it with the inside of his foot again and pulling it back ]

You almost had it!

[whatagoodgirl]

I'm terrible at this. [She sighs, but a moment later she's back in position, ready to receive another pass.]

[faints]

Come on, you're not terrible. You're doing fine! [ c: he'll pass it again ]

[whatagoodgirl]

As long as you leave the training wheels on. [Despite her complaining, she keeps on working her hardest, catching and returning almost every pass.]

[faints]

[ It's a good sign though and Roxas if grinning by the next time he stops the ball with his foot. ]

You hardly even need them!

[whatagoodgirl]

I guess if you work hard enough, you'll get good at anything. [She can't help but return the smile, kicking the ball as hard as she can and actually making an on-point pass.]

[faints]

[ he is the proudest♥ ]

Hard work pays off!

[whatagoodgirl]

[As much as she hates to suggest it, she should probably work on her weakest skill most if she's ever going to become any good.]

Should we try dribbling now?

[faints]

You ready to try it?

[whatagoodgirl]

I don't think I'll ever be ready. [Sheepishly.] But you should tackle the hardest thing first, and then the rest will seem easier.

[faints]

Alright! Want me to show you first, or...?

[whatagoodgirl]

Yeah, if you could give me an idea of what I'm supposed to do, then I can try it again.

[faints]

Okay. It's best to start off slow--you just wanna keep the ball a little bit ahead of you and kinda between where you legs can reach. if it goes too slow it's easy to trip ovber. [ And he will demonstrate the proper way to do this :> ]

[whatagoodgirl]

Okay, I'll try. But if I fall over, you can't laugh.

[She holds out a foot to ask for the ball.]

[faints]

I won't! [ he'll pass it her way c: ]

[whatagoodgirl]

[Keeping her feet a fair distance apart, she starts kicking the ball lightly back and forth. At first it looks like she might be alright, but then her feet get tangled in with the ball and she falls right onto her ass.]

[faints]

[ sdjkgsdk ;w; oh no-- ]

Ouch...

[ that looked ego-bruising ]

You okay??
