First match!

[blockspenguins]

[[The boy showing up on the screen looked...well. Crestfallen to say the least. He pulled his orange headband down a little before finally addressing the screen.]]

I...I'm sorry everyone. [[What's this kid apologizing for?]] We failed. We let the aliens win... [[It was clearly hard to admit, he was visibly trembling.]]

I...there's no excuse. I wasn't strong enough. I'm sorry. [[His fists finally pounded on the console. He was so frustrated, so disappointed in himself. After a moment he sighed, relaxing as best he could. His hands slipped from the console, and he put on a smile.]]

So...who all is here? Mom? Any of my team? How about any other soccer players? Please ah...speak up! I want to know who was saved...

[Ah.. so Sakuma's been gone for a week... He couldn't mope in his room any longer. Today... he was going to do something.

The first thing he decided to do was check the network, at a terminal near his room. There's been a lot of missed information... hopefully he'll be able to read over everything and help others.

...though, he didn't get very far. The first post he saw made him forget everything he set out to do. In fact, he couldn't even move. All he could do was sit there and stare at the screen, as his mind tried to process what he was seeing.]

[pengeen]

[That voice.... those eyes.... that headband... that...]

[pengeen]

[That was definitely.... Endou Mamoru.]

[pengeen]

[Endou.... why was he here? How could they bring him here?! Him.. of all people.... to a place like this... Kidou would never forgive them!]

[pengeen]

{But.... at the same time.....]

[pengeen]

[He was.... happy. He was so happy, just to see him again. He felt like crying, right now. Crying and yelling and running right over there to give Endou a huge hug and make sure he never left again... but he didn't even know where Endou was, and he was obviously confused. He should at least make Endou know what was going on...]

[pengeen]

[Alright... so first of all.. he thinks they're still fighting aliens? Oh boy... how should he approach this....]

ok done i think??

[pengeen]

Yo, Endou. [He'll just start with that.. and answer any questions...

Also don't mind the odd hair, Endou.]

[blockspenguins]

Ah--Kidou! [[...wait.]]

...Kidou? What happened to your hair?

[pengeen]

Hm? {He reaches up to touch his hair and ah... right, he had forgotten already.]

Oh... well, before I explain that, I'll tell you that time works a lot differently here. I'm not sure how, but it does.

You just saw me the other day, right?

[gomu_ningen]

Huh? Sock-her? What's that? That doesn't sound friendly..

[Video] - Thredjacking because I can't resist.

[true_noir]

[She'd been about to troll the new kid when she glanced at this little video snippet. Remembering some of the riots at various games, she just smiled to herself.

She really couldn't resist.]

That depends entirely upon the fans. Some are much more dangerous than others...

[Video]

[gomu_ningen]

[His head is practically sideways, cocking it to his shoulder as he pondered the topic with great confundence.]

"Fans? Is it a summer-time thing? Are there like.. Big fans that you have to make a girl run through or something? How do fans get that dangerous?"

[Video]

[true_noir]

Fans? Oh my no. A fan, here, is someone who enjoys soccer. But soccer fans, you see, can be quite violent if their team loses. There have been riots, towns have burned for the results of a game.

[She giggled. She might get the chance to have a bit of fun here...]

[Video]

[blockspenguins]

Sock-her...? No no, it's Soccer. Saw-ker. It's a game! There's this big open field where two teams of eleven stand on. On opposite sides of the field there are goals. You need to shoot the ball into your opponents goal, but it won't be easy!

Each team has a goal keeper who protects their goal, as well as players who are on defense to help. And then the players on offense try and get the soccer ball across the field and make a shot! It's super fun!

[gomu_ningen]

CAN WE PLAY HERE IN THE TOWER?!!

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

You didn't destroy it. I thought I destroyed mine too, but it's not your fault.

[Huh, this girl has angel wings, how about that.]

[Video]

[blockspenguins]

Well no, but there were these really powerful aliens who were destroying the schools of soccer teams that lost against them...and we were going to fight them to try and save the world!

[[The wings don't seem to register just yet.]]

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

[That hits close to home.]

They didn't do it either. Because I know the aliens on my world didn't play soccer.

[chainsawn]

[ .. Huh. This person seems upset, but then he's smiling.. is he upset that he's here or not? She really can't tell, so she just stares blankly at the feed. ]

You were fighting aliens? Green ones?

video;

[blockspenguins]

No, they weren't green. They looked like humans. In fact, Kidou said they actually were humans, just like...super powered or something by a space rock!! I think that's what he said. They were orphans being used...

[chainsawn]

Being used.. huh, that sounds sad..

[ Wait.. she's slowly realising something here. Didn't something in the middle of that sound familiar..? ]

"Kidou".. you mean.. Yuuto Kidou..?

[warriorscribe]

If there's any comfort to be had about this business, it is not because of anything you had prevented. Something else, completely removed from our worlds, destroyed them.

[blockspenguins]

...but why? Why would they destroy our worlds?

[warriorscribe]

I don't know if it's a "they", but...we don't know if it has anything like reason or empathy. We don't even know if it's alive.
