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.

I was captain of the Cat Appreciation Club for a while there in high school. But social situations make my intestines malfunction. Whoops, guess I can't participate in your gathering.

[saypassion]

You would be welcome, but I understand. I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or have difficulties with their insides.

[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.

[bana_an_na]

Are you going to wear your jammies with the chibi lions on them?

[saypassion]

Ha! Only if you come and wear that footie onesie that you got as a gag gift that one year.

[bana_an_na]

I'd still look cute in them.

[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.

[saypassion]

And I wouldn't?

[acchimuitehoi]

So, what are we doing for Gen-chan's birthday~? ☆

[kabutoneechan]

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

[bana_an_na]

Maybe? I might laugh.

[saypassion]

That's a great question. I didn't want to step on any toes, but if there's nothing planned...

[saypassion]

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

[saypassion]

Are you going to join us?

[dontgiveafox]

Yeah, look, it's just not a fun time for anyone involved. I'd appreciate quarter hourly updates though, so I can almost feel like I'm there.

[bana_an_na]

Not exactly a Captain.

[saypassion]

Does video chatting contribute as well? Or would simply periodic updates via text be best?

[saypassion]

I can make an exception for my sister.

[acchimuitehoi]

Well, I sent him a birthday message. ☆ Maybe he'll let me know what he wants, then.

Oh, do I count as a captain? I captained you guys at U-17 back in the stone age. ☆
