As we draw closer to the official start of the tennis season, I feel myself feeling a bit nostalgic. I'm grateful that I've had the opportunity to keep in touch with so many people since our middle school days. We may not walk down the same path any longer, but our stories in some form remain interconnected, even if not as we had anticipated back then.

Amazing to think that it all stems from a mutual love of a sport.

[ And with this nostalgia comes a desire to connect. I propose that we have a get together. A sleepover, even. I would be happy to host it. I was thinking good food, comfortable pajamas, and gossip the opportunity to catch up. What do you think? ]

Also, while I'm thinking about it. Genichirou - has anyone announced plans for your birthday?

[ooc; this is a welcome invitation to anyone who was a captain in any sort of capacity during middle/high school years.]

...You know, with the season coming up, I'm still looking for a mixed partner, Tachibana-senpai. ♥

[saypassion]

Ah, that's right. I'll give it a go if you'll have me.

[kabutoneechan]

That was easy, I thought you'd be more resistant. I'd love to play with you, senpai.

[saypassion]

What makes you think that? I would enjoy it, as well.

[kabutoneechan]

Well, it's taken this long to find someone to play with...

[saypassion]

I'm surprised more haven't jumped on the opportunity. You are a very strong player - I've seen your record online.

[kabutoneechan]

A lot of guys don't wanna play mixed because they think that women are a weak link on court. It's dumb, but that's life.

[saypassion]

That's ridiculous. You should never underestimate anyone; you don't know what miracles they would pull out that day or what kind of opponents you will face. I'll proudly play with you. We'll make them sorry that anyone would think that of any woman.

[kabutoneechan]

You're sweet, Tachibana-senpai. ♥ Let's kick ass. We can start practice tomorrow.

[saypassion]

That sounds great. I'll look forward to it. When is your preferred time?

[kabutoneechan]

Whenever is good. I always go for an early run and I have some classes, but we could either do morning or later in the day.

[saypassion]

How about we do later in the day? I try to make it back to my family's home in the morning to walk our dog, and so not all mornings are good for me.

[kabutoneechan]

Okay, sounds good. As long as I know in advance, I can do anything in the evening.

[saypassion]

Fantastic. Would you like me to DM my LINE handle to you? That might be the easiest to coordinate with.

[kabutoneechan]

Done! Thanks, Senpai.

[saypassion]

Oh, great. Thank you for doing so. I'll message you in a bit after I've finished preparing dinner.
