[virusbusting]

So who likes sports?

If you do, what kinds? Which teams are your favorites? Players?

I'm not really familiar with any of the teams or leagues around here, so I'll accept suggestions too!

Baseball, little dude!


And...well, hockey too, I guess. But that's more my winter job.

[virusbusting]

Baseball's cool! Not really that interested in hockey, though, so you're alone there.

[homerunning]

Heh, well, not really an avid fan myself. Just what I do when it comes to being employed here. You might say I know a thing or two about how those guys.

But baseball? That's my true passion, dude. I coach it at the local Middle School.


...In Nonah.

['Local' has no meaning over the network, Junpei.]

[virusbusting]

Oh...so you just coach baseball or hockey too?

[The clarification is important, yes.]

[homerunning]

Coach Baseball, but in the winter I announce for National Hockey.

[monge]

Oh! I like soccer, zura!! I've been practicing too, sometimes when I kick the ball, it actually moves now, zura!!

[He's...so proud.]

[virusbusting]

Actually moves, huh? I guess you uh...don't have much kicking strength...?

[monge]

W-Well, it's just... [Suddenly, hesitation!] ...the ball is so big, a-and my legs are so small, z-zura...

[virusbusting]

Oh. You're just short then?

[Lan no, that's rude.]

[monge]

[...Well, it's not like he's wrong.]

I guess that would be the problem, z-zura...

[virusbusting]

[But still.]

Um...maybe you could find a smaller soccer ball...

[Do those even exist?]

1/4

[monge]

[monge]

[monge]

okay done

[monge]

MOOOOOOOOOOONNNGEEEEE!!!

T-That's a great idea, zura! I can't believe I never thought of that before, z-zura!!

XD

[virusbusting]

[That sure is some nervous laughter from Lan's end because that was loud and unexpected.]

If you can find them...I can look next time I'm out, if you want.

[monge]

Y-You'd really do something like that for me, zura?

[Such generosity.]

[virusbusting]

Y-yeah, it'd be no problem.

I like most sports, but soccer's my main one. I play on the team at my school here.

[virusbusting]

Your school has a soccer team? I'm jealous! Back home you have to wait until high school to join the real sports teams.

[Assuming Ken's as young as he sounds and isn't actually in high school already.]

[amadaman]

Really? That sucks!

I'm not on any team back home. I was still in the elementary level and they don't allow clubs, but I know from the middle school level Gekkoukan allows clubs.

[virusbusting]

Oh! Haha, I misheard you, sorry!

Yeah, it's the same for me...dunno if middle school allows clubs, but the elementary school doesn't.

[amadaman]

Have you considered joining any here?

Or, I mean, if you want to come play with my team and I when we practice we'd be happy to have you.

[virusbusting]

No, but I've been to some games.

Is your team local? I mean, in Heropa?

[amadaman]

I mean, it's local enough if you use the porters. I'm in Nonah.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

I kinda feel like I'm cheating cause someone already said it, but I really like baseball. I've played for a long time and my family used to watch games together. We're Yankees fans.

[virusbusting]

Yankees? That's...not a Japanese team, right?

[It doesn't sound very Japanese, at least the way Ripley says it. Lan's not too familiar with American teams yet.]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Nope, they're the New York City team. And also the best team ever, of all time.

[virusbusting]

They can't be the best team ever if I've never heard of them.

[That isn't how it works, Lan.]

/shamelessly steals ur brackets. i hope that's alright.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

That isn't how it works, Lan! Maybe they didn't even exist in your world and that's why you've never heard of them.

haha, you're fine

[virusbusting]

It's true though! If they were really considered the best team in New York, then they'd be a big deal in--

--oh, I didn't think about that. That makes sense, then.

[Sort of.]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Of course. We could have completely different major league teams all together!

What about the Cubs? Jays? Dodgers? Ever heard of them?

[virusbusting]

No...no...who names their team the 'dodgers'?

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Los Angeles, apparently! It's a terrible name, right?
