hey my name is shōyō hinata, that’s 日向翔陽! there’s a lot of kanji about the sun and flying in it☀️🪶 i’m a pro volleyball player and i’m gonna be one of those night walkers. even if that really sounds like something you’d name a zombie, doesn’t it? why don’t they use THE FUN GUYS or WALKING ARCADE?

anyway if anyone needs a good time, i know exactly what you need! sports. it gives your brain the same amount of searatonin and dopemeen that doing nsfw stuff does so we’ll win big any way you look at!! 💪 [ searatonin and dopemeen are not typos. he doesn’t really remember how to type them correctly. head empty, only balls. ] i’ll play anything you’d like, even though volleyball’s what i know most about. i tried pretty much everything in middle school or saw it on tv so i know basics ⚽️🏀🏈🏉⚾️🎾🏓🏸🏒. beach volleyball too, i played for a couple years in rio. if you just want to talk or hug or hang out and not do sports stuff, i’m cool with that too. just uhhh not the nsfw stuff i guess. only if we hit it off, or something. like that. i’ve never been on a date before. oh, and i can do delivery gigs, too. i worked for ifood and ubereats for a while.

anyway i’m looking for a knife, how to use it and how to suplex someone in self defense as first payment for SPORTS, IFOOD or VOLLEYBALL (BEACH OR COURT!!!) but after that food and playing more sports is a fair trade. if you just want to hang out, duh, that’s free. we can be friends.

just send me a message through here or private anytime! might be a little slow on the sports still cuz my legs and bones are recovering, but i really need to move before i go rusty. obrigado! thank you! ありがとう!

Did you ever try tennis at school?

[asas]

hell yeah i did!
nothing beats the sting on your palm when you spike a ball but i really liked the vibration you feel in your arms when you smack the racket, like POP

[hearthebell]

[Shōyō is such a physical person. He is his body; it's not some meat suit or carapace that just slows him down. L can't help but respect the sheer purity of the affection he seems to hold for these sensations.]

If there aren't an existing net and racquets here, I'm sure something could be jury-rigged without too much trouble.

You're feeling better, then?

[asas]

yeah all that grrrring around got me excited! I've been doing my morning routine where i could but i haven't played anything the whole month! one more day off my feet and i'll shrivel up and die

[ he's been watching and rewatching matches on his omni...... all the time ]

we can use fishing nets! bet there are racquets (is this french for rackets?) and we can use like uhhhh
i saw a leather ball with a kid on the street? it doesn't bounce though

[hearthebell]

Non, c’est “une raquette” en français. “Racquet”, while not strictly incorrect, came from a misspelling of the French; reminders of human imperfection make me feel more competitive, so I make a point to use that spelling, even though “racket” is more widely preferred internationally.

[No one cares, Lazaro. But if Shōyō hasn’t figured out who he’s talking to yet it’s a pretty good hint.]

we need something that will bounce. I don’t think pressurized gas would be an option, but a rubber ball coated in flannel would be serviceable enough.

[asas]

ohhh
cest une raquette
racquet
é um racquet!!!
it’s like you have a wiki and google translate in your head
this is definitely lazaro

[ smartest basement dweller—! ]

where do you think we can find those?

[hearthebell]

You found me out.

[He doesn't need to ask what gave him away.]

We might try the Willful Machine, first. I saw at least a few carts selling children's toys the last time I was there. We could modify what we can, and find materials to make what we can't.

[asas]

awesome
I’ll do whatever you tell me to
hey also do you think we can get a volleyball too?
it doesn’t have to be mikasa, anything i can receive or hit is going to be fine
no, great

[hearthebell]

I don't see why we can't. It's only fair if you're to be humoring me with a tennis match.

[asas]

YES
i didn’t know you played a sport, lazaro!!! so you hide all your buffness under those baggy clothes as a disguise, huh???

[hearthebell]

I'm not buff, I just happen to be a lot stronger than I look.

[He also admittedly was in better shape at the beginning of the Kira case than he was at the end. All that stress, all those long nights curled in a chair with no time to work on anything but the case has probably undone any conditioning he could previously maintain.

Maybe he also wants to get back on the horse, so to speak, and stop being reminded of the knowledge that Kira had taken all those pounds of flesh from him before the time came for a body bag.]

I'm looking forward to this, Shōyō.

[asas]

SAME
I’ll hit you up when I get the nets!

[asas]

WAIT I have a question!!

[asas]

actually someone else’s question but I dunno the answer and I’m like 99.999% sure you do

[asas]

why do humans make dopamine and serotonin?

[hearthebell]

I do know, but to be clear...are you asking the purpose, or the process?

[asas]

purpose
i don’t think i’ll get the process

[hearthebell]

They're neurotransmitters that are related to each other, but regulate different things in different ways.

[Simple terms. It's a skill to explain complex matters in a way that anyone can understand.]

Dopamine relays pleasure and rewards. It also helps the body move and coordinate. High levels of dopamine feel really good, so people might develop addictions to the substances or behaviors that make it spike.

Serotonin helps regulate hormonal processes, appetite, digestion, and moods.

The systems interact; for example, serotonin suppresses dopamine production, so if you have low levels of serotonin, your dopamine levels will be higher, and you'll be more likely to engage in behavior that keeps them high.

Think of serotonin as the responsible older brother with a stable job, and dopamine as the thrill-seeking younger brother who's a bad influence but has a lot of fun.

[asas]

ohhh ok

[ he read it and understood the words but put them all together and it was like trying to decipher mandarin. ]

i like dopamine best but I’ll respect serotonin

[hearthebell]

[Success? Maybe? It's hard to tell. Hopefully, he gets the general gist.]

Most people feel that way, I think.

[asas]

do you??
you kinda look like a serotonin guy…… but maybe i’m wrong, and you are secretly buff but your legs hide em
like squirrels

[hearthebell]

I like a thrill.

The problem with dopamine is that over time, it takes more stimulus to get the same rush.

[asas]

i don’t mind playing more volleyball
like isn’t that the best part??? your body gets stronger and your stamina builds up so you get to do more of it all the time!!

[hearthebell]

It's not always a good thing. It's a big part of why people overdose on drugs; it takes more to experience the same effects, even if it's enough to kill them.

[asas]

ohh wait, like,
when you play so much you get a fever and don’t realize it until you’re down?
that happened to me once, during my first high school national finals and i had to get benched > bedridden
but today i take care of myself!
my dopamine is from a healthy source and my serotonin is responsible 💪
say where do you get yours? csi stuff?
