Voice ; First Captain's Proverb

[Endou is never really one to waste time when it comes to his passions. He'd spent the last few days going to the park and generally just kicked a ball around himself. It wasn't the same. It wasn't that he couldn't do it alone, he had done plenty of training by himself back in the old days, before his soccer club really picked up the same passion for soccer he had...and that's really when it hit him. A soccer club. There was only one real thing to do after that epiphany.

So it's loud and enthusiastic voice that peals out over the comms today.]

Hello! My name is Endou Mamorou, and today I'd like to talk with you about soccer! I noticed there was a really nice park, but there aren't a lot of people to play with and practicing by yourself isn't all that much fun...so today I'd like to tell you all about the amazing new soccer club I'm going to be forming! Everyone's welcome to join! Soccer is a great way to meet new people and make new friends, so I'm extending this invitation to everyone!

[There's a small pause and a bit of a weak laugh from the boy.]

I don't exactly have reservations on any fields yet, but I promise it's something I'll have ready by the time everyone's together for our first club meeting...

[Because who can resist the temptation of a soccer club! Honestly? ]

...Also the location of the club hasn't been decided yet either...but if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them! I hope you'll all come join me and share your soccer with me! Feel free to contact me in the meantime, and thank you for your time!

[The audio clips out, ending with an automated text message sent out afterwards that reads "The Captain's proverb today is...You have your own Soccer!"]

[Of course it's this guy.

Ulvida isn't thrilled. She isn't excited. However, she finds that she isn't exactly upset, either. Endou Mamoru isn't a terrible person but simply a pet peeve caused by conflicted feelings from past experiences. That, she knows logically. That doesn't stop her immediate irritation at seeing him, but at least his dumb post gives her plenty of minor reasons to blame that irritation on.]

That's certainly a whole mess of a plan, Endou Mamoru.

[That voice kind of sounds familiar...where has he heard it before?]

It's not a mess, it just needs a little work is all...if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them though!

[He will admit he may have jumped like...five guns. Maybe seven. He isn't sure yet.]

A little work? All you have in mind is your end goal.

Securing a location first is probably helpful. Players shouldn't be the problem.

That's not true, I have a lot more than just the end goal on my mind. Finding out if there's interest is important too.

[Those few weeks leading up to his teams first point for instance still haunt him a little. Running around and trying to drum up people to join his club because they didn't even have enough members to play. So many rejections...]

[In response, there's a quiet huff.]

Interest shouldn't be difficult at least, since you have Gran and Kidou Yuuto here.

What are you going to do about a field?

Gran and Kidou can play OUR soccer, but I want to share THIS worlds soccer.

[This is important stuff.]

...and I kinda have a field.

[If a park is like a field...it has field like qualities at least...also wait what was that?]

Wait you know Gran and Kidou?

It's Ulvida.

Ulvida?

[There's a long drawn out hum followed by some silence. There's some vague recognition there, the voice was familiar? But it didn't ring many bells...]

[...

... ... ....?

The question marks that float between them tell her enough. He doesn't remember.]

[... He doesn't. Remember.

And she'd said her name so confidently like it would answer everything?!

She's glad this is audio because her face is burning up. It probably matches Hiroto's hair.

She can't believe him. She can't believe herself? This is the worst. Her hands shake. She considers just hanging up and pretending this never happened and never talking to him again because it's not like she wanted to talk to him. It's not like she thought she should attempt... to reach out... so Hiroto wasn't stuck between them...]

... I'm.

[Ugh why.]

Ulvida. From the Genesis, with Gran.

Ah...Ulvida from Genesis...

[It's said with an affirmative tone, he still hasn't completely clicked yet though. Then it does. Like a flash of lightning bursting through the nights sky. He remembers and lets out a half strangled sound.]

U-Ulvida!?

[There's a lot of questions that ran through his head at this moment. Though at the forefront of his mind right now...]

You got pulled here too!?

[She gives him the time to process this. At least the information seems to click, and she sighs to herself while pushing back the urge to really hang up now and maybe go bury herself in Hiroto's bed.]

I did, about a week ago.

[She sighs again.]

Have you talked to the other two yet?

O-oh...

[There was a small moment of awkward on his part as he tried to process everything...thankfully Endous are notoriously easy to distract, and the question about Gran and Kidou deftly switches his train of thought.]

Huh? Oh yeah, I've spoken to both of them...do...do they know you're here too?

They do. Gran is only a few houses away.

[He is easily distracted, but that doesn't mean she misses the awkwardness no matter how brief it is, so she takes the initiative to clarify.]

... Aliea is already over. I'm not going to do anything.

[There's a small pause, before there's a small sigh of what sounds like relief.]

Mm...I know. I believe you and Gran when you say that.

[His voice is light again, the only way Endou's can be. He doesn't tend to hold grudges after all.]

It was just surprising. If you're here then H...Gran has someone from his school too, like I do with Kidou.

...Did you want to join the soccer club too? It's still small, but the more members the better.

Huh?

[She's already lost her cool in this conversation, so that leaves her vulnerable to this next surprise from Endou. She doesn't know anything about him and can predict next to nothing about him -- but this was completely unexpected. The confusion is clear in her voice.]

Me? Why...?

We can only play our soccer if we're together...and if we're all together we can show the world what our soccer means to us.

[There's a smile in his voice.]

I only got to see what soccer meant to Aliea, but I'd like to see your soccer too.

[His voice goes from soft to excited in less than a second.]

Plus soccer is fun, and the more people we have to play with, the more friends we can make!

[... Ah.

She already knew. But it hits her again now that he's speaking to her directly, the realization that this is the Endou Mamoru Hiroto fell in love with. The Endou who changed soccer for Hiroto and changed Aliea's -- the Sun Garden's -- soccer. She didn't pay enough attention when they met on Mount Fuji. Now, she thinks she sees a little bit of the light that Hiroto saw.

It's too bright for her. She feels slightly breathless.]

... I don't know what you're expecting, but I only played soccer for Kira. That's all there is.

[There's a brief thoughtful pause as he thinks about that for a moment, before his voice comes back bearing the same enthusiasm it always did when he was trying to recruit someone. Someone who was so good at soccer can't just brush it aside so easily after all. It gets under your skin. It's in your muscles and your nerves.]

I don't think I really understand...I do know that you're an amazing soccer player. Maybe you just need to find another reason to play. We could be that reason if you need it to be, and I know Gran would enjoy playing with you too.

My reason...?

[It's not that she's without reason. She knows that. When she thinks about soccer, the first thing she thinks of is Aliea, but right after that she can picture the other children from Sun Garden. She can remember the smiles on Hiroto and Midorikawa's faces. But beyond that, she can't think of anything. And she's not about to say that to Endou Mamoru of all people.]

... Just because I'm good, doesn't mean I love it.

[He feels like he's been down this path before. Just from a different angle. There's a small note of worry in his voice now. How can someone be that good and not love soccer?]

Ulvida, you don't hate soccer...do you?

No.

I don't hate it.

But if you asked me if I felt the same way as you, or the way you made Gran and Desarm feel... I haven't gotten there.

I'm glad to hear that.

[That just means you aren't there yet]

There'll be a spot here for you even if you want to just come and watch.

[In other words, he's putting you on the member list.]

[There's a silence. And then,]

I'll think about it.
