[Akira is a 5'9", kind of slim boy with fluffy hair and glasses, but that doesn't mean he doesn't wanna play some SPORTSBALL. So that's what this is, just Akira holding his phone like he's gonna take a selfie because he's a teen still and you can't stop him.]

Hey guys! Uh, I'm Akira, and I kinda wanted to know if any of you are into doing some like... sports? Import-centered, mostly, since I know some guys got kicked off school sports teams for using their powers once upon a time. Nothing like... real structured or anything, but maybe some place we can use our powers and get to play among each other?

Honestly, I don't know how to go about organizing it or anything, but I was here awhile back and beginning to learn American football and it was pretty fun and a good way to stay in shape, and I kinda wanted to get back to doing that, maybe.

If you're interested, hit me up. Maybe we can have a few groups for certain kinds of powers and sports or something? Unless we already have that, in which case I'd LOVE to hear about it!

[ There's no immediate reply, just the view of Adachi's office and him somewhere off camera, snickering loudly. ]

[crimeboy]

[WOW Adachi???]

Don't laugh at me!

Where is your pup?! Rizaaaa!! Your dad is picking on me!

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Adachi's hand wavers into view as he snickers, one finger held up asking for a minute, but Riza bounds up at Akira's voice, letting out happy noises and wagging her tail. Her human dad finally lifted his head, wiping tears from his eyes. ]

S-sorry, just... you're so skinny, I can just see most American sports kids trampling over you in just about anything.

[crimeboy]

Wow? I've been working out since I got here! The first time!!! I'm doing my best, I just think I've got a runner's body. It is a curse... I will never be a big beefcake...

[Sniffles, but is distracted immediately by making kissy noises at Riza through the phone.]

Puppo! I'm gonna come see you soon, don't you worry~ [Mostly talking to Riza but Adachi will PROBABLY be there.]

Also, I'll have you know I have played American football with some of their sports kids before.

[sleight_of_hand]

'The first time,' he says. You know, your body resets when you leave and come back, right?

[ He can't help but tease this kid. This is how he shows affection, Akira, it's okay. Riza, meanwhile, kept nosing at the screen, just managing to stop herself from licking it, if only because the last time she licked human dad's phone, she accidentally froze it. Ice beams where a pain sometimes. ]

American football, hunh? How many of them could sling you over their shoulders and run you like you were the ball?

[crimeboy]

*ugh*, I know.

[ He can't believe he has to work out enough to have abs AGAIN. ]

It makes it super weird, you know? That means I'm basically... back to seventeen... Which means I shouldn't even be kissing my boyfriend. But I'm gonna.

Age here is stupid.

And also probably all of them they're like 6'100" and four feet wide.

[sleight_of_hand]

You sure he's going to let you? I mean, he is a man of the law, you know.

[ He's trolling, mostly. He's pretty sure Goro wouldn't give a damn, especially with how persuasive Akira could be. ]

Don't worry. Just drink some milk; that's how it works, right?

[ Crow has questions! He's got a lot of questions, actually. He's at least been here long enough to figure out what "America" is-- that one wasn't hard to figure out-- but he's never heard of football or why American football would be different from any other kind of football.

He's clearly holding the phone above his head as well-- mostly because he's lying down on his couch, his silver hair splayed about. He's got a white bandanna wrapped around his forehead. ]

I'm not not interested but what's American football for those of us who don't have that sport back home?

[crimeboy]

Oh, it's like a sport where... you throw a ball out, then someone catches it, then that person tries to run to the goal while the other team tries to stop them by tackling them!

It's probably more complicated than just that, but I am still getting the hang of it.

[bad_crowmance]

Most sports usually are.

[ A amused grin flickers on his face. ]

I'd be willing to give it a try if you get something up and running.

[crimeboy]

Sweet! So what's your name? I can jot it down and call you up if i can get this off the ground!

[bad_crowmance]

Name's Crow Armbrust! I make my own hours at work so you can hit me up whenever.

[crimeboy]

Awesome! I kinda do the same, so we cab work around schedules!

[bad_crowmance]

Sounds good to me! I'll be looking forward to it.

(Sports intrigues him, but there is a problem...)

Would you mind having a teammate or an opponent who is powerful? I wouldn't use my abilities, but I do have a mechanical arm. It could give me an unfair advantage.

Re: (Video)

[crimeboy]

I've got magically good dexterity, so that's sort of the point. To make a kind of game where we can have fun despite having super powers that we can't really turn off.

So yeah! Of course you'd be welcome!

[prophesiedone]

(He begins to smile, relaxing.) Then it should be a lot of fun. I'm Anakin Skywalker, by the way.

(Lifting his mechno-arm, he gives a small wave.)

[crimeboy]

It will definitely be fun! Good to meet you, ah... do you prefer Anakin or Skywalker?

[He is Japanese, so while he just goes by his own first name, he still thinks it's polite enough to ask???]

[prophesiedone]

Either works for me, but Anakin is probably a better choice. There are other Skywalkers around.

[You don't wanna confuse poor Luke or Leia.]

[crimeboy]

Ah, makes sense! You have family here, then? That's neat! I always wonder how that kind of thing works.

[Like isn't it weird how his parents aren't here?]

I hope it is nice.

[prophesiedone]

My wife, my twins and my grandson are here. [All of them grown, so that makes it...strange.]

I am blessed.

[crimeboy]

[OH MY GOD HE'S A POPPA!!!!!

Ok calm down Akira, that is weird, getting all excited about that. But!!! Twins!!! Grandson!!!!!!]

Th-that's amazing!!!

[prophesiedone]

[HE IS A PROUD POPPA. Even if he sort of ruined everything ever.]

Thanks. [What else can he say?] You might run into them. Padmé is my wife, Luke and Leia are the twins and Kylo Ren is my grandson.
