un: FLYHIGH

[asas]

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!

volleyball
or
probending?
(volleyball because the only thing i can bend are my limbs)

[pabugotmoves]

Ohh.. yeah we should probably play your thing, then.

When and where? Do we need teams? Do we have to play on the beach because it is freeeeezing cold and the sand is super hard right now.

[asas]

cmon it’s not THAT cold

[ says the jock ]

and the beach is great, especially if the huge mom snake goes around those parts! i’m always there before daylight to see it BUT if it’s too hard we’re gonna need a court anyway!

[pabugotmoves]

[It's so cold!!! But maybe he'd be okay once he got his blood pumping. It would be nice to get physical again. It's been a while...]

Okay, I'm in. Right now?

[asas]

i'd flip for right now

[pabugotmoves]

Then I'll meet you on the beach, better hurry slowpoke!

[asas]

BUT IM ALREADY THERE
TICK TOCK 🏃‍♂️ 💨

->Action!

[pabugotmoves]

[CURSE YOU IT WORKS, Bolin throws himself into action and heads for the beach, looking for anyone vaguely sporty looking. He has no idea what he's getting himself into but.. sure, right? Why not.]

UH.. Marco??

[asas]

[ shoyo wouldn't know the concept of saying polo in turn, to begin with, but he's easy to find! looking around the vastness of the black sand enough and bolin would see a red and orange speck; closer to this vaguely person-shaped figure will give more features to snag onto: the bright red and black jersey with a bold 21 on the back, bright orange hair and the dull kick of a leather ball being launched into the air with his knee. it's shoyo's omen, a common crow that caws to get his attention and direct it that way— ]

—Hey! [ he's yelling!!! ] It's Shoyo!!

[pabugotmoves]

[Aha! There we go. Truth be told Bolin doesn't really know how Marco Polo works, but he's heard other people do it so it was worth a shot, and look at that, there he is!

Bolin smiles, jogging over with Pabu in ground pursuit. His omen, something like a red panda and a ferret mushed together, chatters happily in greeting to Shoyo's crow.]

Cool bird. Wow, you've really been out here this whole time playing?

[Pretty impressive. This guy really takes his games seriously. Bo can respect that. He'll have to warm up fast. He rubs his hands together. A man of five foot seven or so, with broad shoulders and jet black hair. Bolin looks like he's made for strength, not speed, but he is surprisingly light on his feet.]

Okay, show me what we're doing!

[asas]

[ picanha loves compliments, and grahs to that with a series of coos and clicks in a misty, circular flight to tease the panda-ferret. but, you know what’s great news? finally someone shōyō’s height! part of him is glad he doesn’t have to keep bending his neck back. lately, even those younger than him by years are taller. baguettes, all of them! while he is small, his body type is slightly modified compared to his new play friend; lean and built with muscle, especially thighs and calves. he could hit some ways well, but his strength was in agility and his jumping prowess— much more than being a heavy hitter. ]

It’s part of my routine! [ and this strange leather ball he has in his hands, now under his arm to be able to offer a friendly shake, is the queen of this beach. it’s not a mikasa, but for someone with nothing at the moment? it’s good. by his little “camp” site is a gym bag, two poles and fishnets awkwardly tied to their tips and the middle of their bodies. ]

I’m just gonna show you the basics first, okay? Bumping and hitting. [ it’s no use getting too technical, especially for casual players. if they know how to bump and hit, they can play with him, at least just a little bit! it’s all he wants. ] Your weasel can give it a try, too!

[pabugotmoves]

A weasel?? Oh- [How dare you. Bolin isn't exactly sure what a weasel is but it sounds like something you'd step in and he picks Pabu up protectively.]

Pabu is a fire ferret. He's great at games.

[Not at volleyball, Bolin.]

Okay.. bumping and hitting.. I can do that. I bump stuff all the time.

[He's a quick learner on this kind of things. Nuance and technique can only come with practice, but he'll pick up the basics pretty quick. In a couple ways this isn't all that different form some of the training moves he learned as a kid back home.

He keeps seeing that camp, though. It can only go ignored for so long before he loses the ball and stops to rest for a minute.]

Hey Shoyo? You're not really living out here on the beach.. are you?

[asas]

[ a fire ferret is something so cool he’ll never forget. he’s going to have to apologize personally to pabu!

there’s pleasure in teaching for shōyō, he’s quite the good one, patient and encouraging in all aspects— he’s had experience passing what he learned onto his younglings in high school and then again when he helped with classes in rio. there’s also no better pleasure than feeling a tossed ball being bumped back to him. his arms had missed and craved the ball’s impact.

still at the ready when bolin gives it a rest, so does he— but only because he’s curious as to why (and because he’s a border collie in human form and would keep going forever—) ]

Hm—? [ oh, living— ] Nah. I sleep in Crenshaw. Work my late afternoons in Cellar Door . . . And spend my mornings here! Why?

[ it didn’t look so bad (as far as shōyō thought) ]

[pabugotmoves]

Ah, okay no, that's good. You just seem really comfortable out here and I know sometimes people pitch camp when there are a lot of really great houses out there for people to have.

[Says the guy who had a huge amount of trouble finding one and lived in a hole for like two months.]

I just wanted to make sure you weren't roughing it out here in the cold. But I work in Cellar Door, too, that's cool. Where do you work?

[asas]

I’m at [ insert some simple place for nightwalker services here! ]! I don’t know the name of the street, but— I know where it is!

[ he’d just need to lead his way over and follow the land marks! as for the beach, he’s right about shōyō being comfortable with it. the sand, the breeze (not the cold, but— he’s warm), ]

I lived by a beach for a while, so you’re not wrong.

[pabugotmoves]

Oh.. cool. Well I guess I've just got a knack for reading people, what can I say.

[Bolin. You do not. It is very well documented that you are horrible at this. You have documented that you are horrible at this..

he brushes his knuckles on his shirt front.]

Man we have so much in common. This is cool. I like having non blood..blood brothers.

[He gestures towards the ball. More! Doesn't mean he won't still chat.]

I mean what are the odds, we both grew up by the sea, we're both Nightwalkers in Cellar Door, we both play sports! Hey, you didn't grow up on the mean streets of a big city, did you?

[asas]

Like Tokyo? [ yes because every big city is tokyo, says the one who lives in a big city currently, ] I grew up in Miyagi Prefecture! It’s kind of like the interior.

[ very calm, very quaint. são paulo is bustling, though. also, shōyō is starting to present this— mild anxiety? he’s talking with his eyes. he keeps trying to send messages through his mind and move his legs impatiently before he looks to gesturing: toss ball? toss ball.

all you have to do is toss ball. ]

I only went to the beach for three years . . . Starting five years ago! To play Beach Volleyball!

[ so he didn’t actually grow up on the beach, poor bolin. ]

[pabugotmoves]

That's cool, that's cool.

[Alas, no street rat pact. That's okay. This is better. It's better if your not an orphan tbh.

It takes him a moment as he's listening to realize there is some intense ball tracking happening, and when he sees it he grins and fakes a throw before, YOU GOT IT BUDDY! TOSS BALL! GO LONG!

BACK TO THE GAME!

Honestly they could do this for hours probably. Fun game!! Good game!!]
