[Hey Tower, did you miss this soccer kid? No? Well he missed you!

But unlike the others who were with him during that long month of tests and whatnot, he's not going to talk about how his well being is or where his friends are or anything like that.

No, he could talk to them later, he was sure. Right now, he was a bit pissed off and it's apparent by the stern glare he was giving the network. You might not be able to see his eyes from behind his goggle lens, but it's quite obvious that they're narrowed in anger.


Oh, did I mention that he was wearing a quite peculiar soccer uniform?]

[Yes, arms crossed and glare set, there is only one thing he needed to say.]

Who went through my trunk?

[You see, when he opened his trunk, that uniform was tucked neatly inside, but the rest of his clothes were nowhere to be found. His soccer ball was missing too and a few of the other things had obviously been moved around.

And he'd keep wearing the clothes he wore during the past event but who wants to wear the same outfit for over a month without washing it?]

[ Thaaat's a face he never thought to see here. But then again, it makes sense since Genda is also here. ]

Uh, I didn't know you left Raimon. [ Best conversation starter to an opponent-turned-companion (...kind of). Did he miss out on that much? ]

[ video ] 1/? probably 4

[pengeen]

I didn't. [WOW RUDE]

[ video] 2/?

[pengeen]

[...Wait a second.]

[ video ] 3/yep 4

[pengeen]

[He recognized those hungry eyes anywhere...!]

[ video ]

[pengeen]

Aphrodi?!

[WHEN THE HELL DID HE---]

[errandwings]

[ He gestures at Kidou's "uniform" before nervously scratching the back of his head. ]

Y- yep. That's my name. It's nice to know you still remember me.

[ video ]

[pengeen]

Of course I still remember you, why wouldn't I?

[It wasn't too long ago that you almost kicked Kidou's ass during the match with Korea, after all. He wouldn't just forget about you after that]

[ video ]

[errandwings]

It's been a while, I guess.

[ No that was months and months ago. ]

[ video ]

[pengeen]

...I suppose it has, but that doesn't mean I would forget you.

[ video ]

[errandwings]

Fair point. I am rather hard to forget.

[ Awkward re-meets aside... ]

So uh, if you're still with Raimon why are you wearing... that?

[ video ]

[pengeen]

My clothes have been replaced with this uniform for some reason.

[ video ]

[errandwings]

Oh.

So does that mean someone from Osaka Girls' is here?

[ video ]

[pengeen]

If there were, I'm sure we would have noticed by now. [Considering how obnoxious that team is]

[ video ]

[errandwings]

I've only just arrived, so I wouldn't know.

[ and he has only just heard of the team, so Aphrodi doesn't know how obnoxious they really are. ]

[ video ]

[pengeen]

Ah, well, they are all a bit on the loud side, it would be hard to miss them. [Plus he's pretty sure one of them would have said something about him wearing their uniform by now]

Have you met with Genda or Sakuma yet?

[ video ]

[errandwings]

Oh, I see. [ Well, their uniform is pretty loud too. He should have guessed.

Aphrodi nods. ]

I met Genda earlier, but not Sakuma. [ He winces slightly though. Aphrodi isn't looking forward to meeting Sakuma, soccer "buddy" or not. ]

[ video ]

[pengeen]

Mm, Sakuma was with me the whole time, so you should meet up with him soon.

[ video ]

[errandwings]

With you... where?

[ He's confused as to what just happened, having arrived after the commotion. ]

[ video ]

[pengeen]

Oh, right, you've just arrived.


A lot of the people who are staying in this tower were transported somewhere for an experiment this past month, Sakuma and I were included.

[ video ]

[errandwings]

Oh, I se--

[ Wait what. Experiments?? That does not sound pleasant at all. ]

My gosh, are you okay? [ MOTHER MODE: ACTIVATED. ] Do you need anything?

[ video ]

[pengeen]

Huh? [Shhh calm down Aphrodi] I'm fine, don't worry about me.

[ video ]

[errandwings]

But you just said experiments-

[ He squints at the screen to try and see if he can see anything. ]

[ video ]

[pengeen]

Mm, they were more mental experiments for me then anything else. A lot of us were put into three different groups and put through different tests. My group had the least problems, it seemed, and Sakuma's wasn't much worse from what I could tell.

[He doesn't say anything about the last group though.]

[ video ]

[errandwings]

Mental experiments don't make them any less harmful. [ Gosh. Aphrodi assumes that Kidou doesn't know anyone from the third group and refrains from mentioning it. ]

That's good to hear at least. I think.

[ He still looks concerned though. ]

Are you sure you don't need anything?

[ video ]

[pengeen]

I've been here for almost four months, I'm starting to get used to being shoved into terrible situations. [He sighs.]

So I'll be alright. Thank you for your concern, though.
