Homeless...For Now

[basketballjunkie]

Hey woman.

If you think you can drag me away from playing basketball to toss me into one of these damn games, then you better watch your back.

I don't care if I'm in your head space, I'm not gonna go.

Tch.

Sorry but these mundanes can contain super-humans, geniuses and so-called gods. You're stuck.

[basketballjunkie]

If she wants me to pay attention to her, she'll listen.

[best_intel]

What makes you think she wants you to pay attention to her?

[basketballjunkie]

If I don't talk to her, then I don't have to go anywhere.

[catches_flies]

Threatening her is probably not going to help, man.

[basketballjunkie]

Oh? It seems to keep her in line, for now at least. She wants me to cooperate.

[catches_flies]

Yeah, for now.

And anyway, being in a game can't be worse than sitting around in a headspace.

[basketballjunkie]

There's no one that can challenge me in one of those games, and at least there is basketball in her headspace. Some of my old teammates are there too.

[catches_flies]

That's pretty arrogant. How do you know there won't be someone who can challenge you?

[...is nooot going to comment on how he's completely alone]

[basketballjunkie]

It's not arrogant. It's a fact. The only one who can beat me is me, everyone else is just entertainment.

[catches_flies]

...isn't basketball a team sport.

[basketballjunkie]

Heh. What's the point in that? Even if played as a team sport, most people lose their will to fight when faced with a wall they can't climb.

[catches_flies]

So you're the "wall"?

No one is unbeatable. I don't know who you've been playing against, but you have to keep trying even when it starts to look bad.

[basketballjunkie]

Find me someone that can be me in basketball. I don't think a person like that exists.

My mun can't even deny this.

[catches_flies]

I don't know enough about basketball to know what to look for. You're on your own for that.

But with all the different people from different worlds, you don't think there's someone out there?

[basketballjunkie]

I'll believe it when it happens. Other than that my mun told me something interesting. She said that you and your partner remind her of me and Tetsu.

That makes you slightly more interesting.

[catches_flies]

[..."partner"] Mine says they can see it, but I don't know what either of them are looking at. From what I've seen, we aren't anything alike.

But thanks, I guess. "Tetsu" is someone on your team, then?

[basketballjunkie]

We used to be partners.

He's found a new light and plays for another school. But, no one can draw out his true potential like I can. The new light he's chosen now is dim.

[catches_flies]

[I still don't want to compare myself to this guy, but...]

Ah, now I get it. They both have unconventional skills that are best used with us as their partners.

So if it's like that, why'd he leave you?
