TEXT (not a misfire)

[amadaman]

[One December afternoon as carols and the sound of jingle bells belt from every business' speakers, filling people with Christmas cheer (and exhaustion) weeks before the actual event, one imPort posts a text to the network.]

You'd think that with there being four of us ordering at least one of us would get our name right, right?

l o l no

[Attached to the post is a selfie of teens showing off their favorite signature holiday drinks, but the focus of the picture are the names -- confidently scribbled across the cup of each drink are Grant, Kenneth, Utah, and Moore, and anybody who knows these boys will know that those are pretty much the 4kids dub version of their names at best.]

Let's pretend there's a campfire and share some stories about ways your name has been spelled or pronounced since coming here. I'm sure it's happened to a majority of us. （´。` ）


((ooc: Any of the boys featured in the post -- Gran, Kidou, Endou, Ken -- may respond to you!! Likewise, feel free to threadjack and hit up anybody and consider it a shitpost free-for-all. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.))

The planet Aliea.

[Ken picks up the trash from Gran's straw and smacks Kidou with it.]

Thanks, Kidou-kun.

[tacticianing]

[Kidou looks unfazed.]

Trust me.

[driftsintobuffetline]

you're pulling my leg

[tacticianing]

You'll have to ask him to find out.

[starlinings]

Kidou-kun's correct. I'm from Aliea.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Thank you to Kidou-kun, then! My apologies for doubting you ^____^

And where is that? What species do you consider yourself? what is your normal form? What do you eat/drink on Aliea? What is your planet like? How has it been, adapting to Earth?

[Ah. He'll do a bullet list for this man. He figured it was only a matter of time before he got these questions.]

Space. I'm only 15, Newt-san, the innerworkings of space travel are beyond me.
Aliean.
I guess this would be my normal form.
It's a lot like Earth so it was easy to adapt food/drink wise. I don't like mushrooms, but I'm fond of cucumber.
I had a rough start, but I'm starting to see the beauty in it. Especially soccer.

[driftsintobuffetline]

hey, I was accepted to MIT at 14 so. 15 doesn't disqualify you
but ok
shame about the mushrooms, tho

soccer, huh? what drew you to that sport in particular?

[starlinings]

Maybe not, but the average human doesn't know the exact arm of the milky way that Earth resides in, let alone coordinates.


As for soccer, I thought it was a tool used to decide who was stronger among humans, but it turns out...it's so much more than that.

It's fun. Endou-kun, Kidou-kun...and even Ken-kun. They all put feelings and passion into soccer, and you can feel it. It's an amazing sport.


I love it.


It's a little different than the soccer I know back home, though. It's been hard to adjust.

[driftsintobuffetline]

yeah, but galaxy, nearby nebula, galactic cross-street. that's still something.

sports...this is getting into realms of the unknown for me, but sounds like you're a regular shonen anime. do you guys have a team here, do you play in tournaments, or just for fun?

[starlinings]

Irrelevant since we call them by different names. But I should look into it, now that you mention it. Finding a connection would be a lot of fun.


I go to Nonah Middle School here, but back home I was competing against the world with Japan.
