Being a few years late is not too bad! What's important is that you were able to appreciate everyone's passion and hard work!

Hmm . . . think we'll bump into anyone we know? [A thoughtful pause.] That would be nice, wouldn't it? I'd love to run into anyone from home - even Nigou! [A giggle.]

Comments

[analyzereye]

I'm afraid Nigou is with Izuki-kun today. I can try to put in a good word for you, though!

Anyway, I agree with you. It's great that our hard work is still having an impact.

[peachyandkeen]

Ah, Barely-B Riko-san! I'm so happy to see you! Are you and Seirin doing well?

[You'll have to excuse her - apparently rudeness is a trait she shares with her best friend . . . ]

I totally agree. You and your team were really inspiring. It still gives me goosebumps when I think about it!

[Her mischievous smile softens.]

((sorry I did NOT have automatic login but here I am now!))

[analyzereye]

Yes, we are!! [Her smile is a little forced as she indulges in that boyish volume increase.] We're drilling our new court formations like crazy, it's hard to hide!

[She looks up at Momoi, a little more gently determined.] So you'd better keep those goosebumps with you for the interhigh. We don't intend to hand the championship over to anyone.

no worries!

[peachyandkeen]

[She gave Riko a smile. She may have saved her yelling for Aomine, but she was just as fired up as the coach.]

Neither do we. We're working on our teamwork too!

When you see us next, it's going to be one heck of a fight!

[analyzereye]

[Thoughtful nod. Riko had seen the boys in red and black enough in passing to gather that their interpersonal relationships were... individualistic.]

Have you heard about any training camps that'll be happening between now and then? Or whatever opportunities to hang around in groups. [Scouting. She is realistic, she knows what's actually going to happen is scouting.]

[peachyandkeen]

None yet, but I heard that you and Shutoku had a good training camp together.

[Her smile was slightly mischievous and slightly wistful.]

Maybe I should convince the coach of Touou that we should all go to the same inn!

[Her grin widened. Then she could ogle Tetsu-kun and spy on everyone.]

[imperceptibly]

I agree with you, Momoi-san. It's not bad to be a bit late as long as you enjoy the process.

[peachyandkeen]

Tetsu-kun~!

[Guess who's a happy Satsuki?]

[She immediately ran up to him and clung to his arm.]

I'm so happy you agree with me! But of course, I'm even happier to see you! How are you? Have you been busy? What have you been doing? Is everyone here?

[imperceptibly]

[He doesn't seem to mind the clinging.]

I'm fine. My mun hasn't been paying too much attention to me lately.

[Which is, in his opinion, a very good thing.]

Ah, but I do know there are a few of our "castmates" around here, if you're interested in meeting them.

[peachyandkeen]

I know you like being in the shadows, but that can't be fun, can it? [Satsuki pouted, clinging to his arm more tightly.] Aren't you lonely all by yourself there?

[She perked up at the mention of other people she knew.] Of course I'm interested! I want to say hi!

[imperceptibly]

It's quite lively in here. There are many other characters my mun plays, so I'm not that lonely.

[...]

Although I did miss talking with somebody from my world. So...thank you, Momoi-san. As for other people from our world, they will probably appear sooner or later. You can also search for them in those "memes" that are so popular with muns.

[peachyandkeen]

Of course it's different when you're chatting with someone you know and have shared your ups and downs with!

[She beamed up at him.]

No, thank you, Tetsu-kun! Without you, well . . . [Her voice softened.] Everyone would still be lost in their own worlds, I think. [She laid her head on his shoulder affectionately.] Not to mention in their own egos. [She let out a soft laugh.]

Mm! I saw some people on these memes. I hope we can hang out and play basketball sometime!

[imperceptibly]

Well, it helped that they weren't entirely closed off to moving ahead...

[Forgive him. Kuroko doesn't really know how to respond to compliments. He seems a little more cheerful than when he first appeared, however.]

I'm sure you will. Does your mun have specific plans for you?

[peachyandkeen]

I'm sure a part of them wanted basketball to be fun again.

[And without Kuroko, they wouldn't have realized it.]

Not right now, no. She's really busy, so the fact that she even had time to set up my account was a miracle. [Satsuki laughed.] Right now, she just wants me to talk to everyone, which is fine by me! [Cue the warm squeeze to his hand.]

What about you, Tetsu-kun? Does your writer have anything planned for you?

[imperceptibly]

Oh, then everything's okay.

[He's muttering that for himself more than anything else. He was going to warn Momoi because sometimes muns are kind of weird, to put it nicely, but luckily she doesn't seem to be in danger right now.]

Me? No, not really. I'm on standby until she sees somebody who looks interesting for me to talk to.

[peachyandkeen]

Hm? What do you mean? [She gave him a curious glance.]

Ah~! Tetsu-kun~! Does that mean you think I'm interesting? [You can practically see the hearts in her eyes.]

[imperceptibly]

Of course you're an interesting person. My mun thinks so too, and that's why we're talking right now.

[The words flow freely from his mouth, as if it was obvious for him. For this reason, it's probably pretty noticeable when he hesitates before answering her other question.]

Muns aren't usually very nice, so I thought maybe you were going to be in trouble. But if she doesn't have concrete plans, I think you'll be okay.

[peachyandkeen]

Tetsu-kun~! ♥ [The way she says his name indicates that she's 100% head over heels.]

Oh, mine's not the type to start drama just for the heck of it. She says she's too old for that nonsense. [Have a wrinkle of her nose.]

Don't tell me yours is like that? [Satsuki's eyes widened in distress.]

[imperceptibly]

No, mine says the same thing about the drama. But...

[How does he explain this in a non-embarrassing way??]

...she's kind of strange. Or rather, the things she has made me do are. I wouldn't want you to go through the same thing.

[peachyandkeen]

[She looked at him expectantly.]

Like?

[imperceptibly]

In different occasions, she has injured me, dressed me in girly clothes and made me get drunk, all for the sake of her "threads". There are also other inappropriate things I don't even want to mention in front of a girl.

Basically, I wouldn't wish a mun like mine on anybody.

throws self at!!

[aoimine]

Tch, sure took you long enough to show up. Now you don't get to complain when I'm late for practice, see?

hi!!!

[peachyandkeen]

Dai-chan!

[She bounded up to him, linking her arm in his.]

It's not my fault my writer was late to the bandwagon! She just saw everything a couple of weeks ago! But when you're late for practice, it's entirely your fault.

[She gave him a grin.]

[aoimine]

[ Hnnng, so clingy. He may have missed this, though. ]

Ah, so she just binged on the whole thing, huh? Mine did that, too. But can you believe she didn't like me at first?! I mean, seriously!

[ Because he's got such a wonderful personality... ]

[peachyandkeen]

[Stop being so tsun, Daichan.]

Yeah, she watched everything in like, three or four days. And when it was finished, she wanted to do it all over again. I guess you guys were just that inspiring!

[She gave him a bright grin.]

Well, that's because you were so serious and all, "the only one who can beat me is me."

[To imitate him, Satsuki tried to deepen her voice and to put on a bored expression.]
