JANUARY MINGLE | OPEN

[oneandmikleonly]

[It's a new year! Well, by the fragile construct of calendar time we're creating on this planet, anyway.

Here's a an open mingle for all your January needs! Are you trying to stalk our new alien stalkers back, or reach out to them, or fight them? Building? Exploring the biomes, for fun and/or to uncover more about our alien friends? Researching? Hugging URSULA? Raising Birdogs or getting involved with other wildlife? Making or breaking resolutions? OTHER? Whatever it is you're doing, you can put it here.

Don't forget to check the OOC plotting post to see what's going on and get involved with missions!]

[ then is he just planning to die in the line of duty because - okay Kenma reel it in, that'd be a dick question to ask. ]

Oh. That's too bad. Retirement is the dream.

[checkoutmyttk]

[Not so much planning as just assuming it's inevitable. But that's way too dark to say to someone he just met, even if it's not really a big deal to him. Whatever, he'll just make sure he goes down in an awesome blaze of glory, no biggie.]

Maybe if you've got like an office job or something, but superhero life? No way. You know the ladies love a guy in uniform. [He pats the "S" crest on his chest proudly.]

You've got one, right? For your team or whatever? You know it's the truth.

[puddinghair]

Uh... Oh. [ he's not touching the rest of that, this sort of subject is x10 awkward for him, but-- ]

Yeah, we've got a uniform.

[checkoutmyttk]

[Right, they were talking about the volleyball thing before the whole 'death is inevitable' thing!]

So you never said, you any good? [He's grinning good naturedly when he asks, honestly curious.]

I lived in Hawaii for a while, used to play on the beach all the time but never seriously or anything.

[puddinghair]

We're pretty good.

[ oops that was a 'we' not an 'I.' He is pretty good, even apart from his team, he'd like to think, but. Habit. ]

I think if I were in Hawaii I would want to relax more than play.

[checkoutmyttk]

Yeah? [The 'we' makes sense so he doesn't question. 'sides, it's nice to see a guy give credit to the rest of his team. Not that Kon would know anything about that.]

Relaxing's alright but it's really about the surfing, you don't get waves like that just anywhere! You ever tried?

[puddinghair]

I don't have the coordination for it, probably...

[ He has good hand-eye coordination, but honestly his athleticism leaves something to be desired. Also... Think of the effort... ]

[checkoutmyttk]

Yeah, well if you ever wanna give it a try me an' Rin—he's stuck here too—figured out how to make some boards.

So how bout that game? [He motions toward the ball and winks. It's been a while since he did something low key and fun like that and he doesn't even care that he's probably going to get his ass handed to him.]

[puddinghair]

I'll keep that in mind... [ That's such a nice offer but also he's shy and also that sounds exhausting. But he appreciates it!!! ]

Sure. That would be nice. [ Kenma heads to the other side of the net, also completely ready to get owned. It's hard to play without a team, and he doesn't really even play particularly offensive roles. If anything, he'll mostly just be able to successfully pass to Kon over the net. ]

[checkoutmyttk]

Cool, let's go! [And with that Kon follows suit. He's only decent at the game, using his super speed and the occasional burst of flight to keep from missing the ball and generally just having a good time tossing the ball back and forth.

It's fun in a way he hasn't had fun in a long time and he'll have to remember to see if Kenma's up for it again sometime.]
