Mac Anu's resident sunny Harvest Cleric kid has been wandering about even more than usual today. He had a determined look on his face, and spedwalk to and from various stores.

A. [Maybe you're just around the area, or inside the store? While Taiyou smiled and thanked the merchant NPC's for their assistance, he looked pretty disappointed once he got out the door. What exactly is he looking for so fervently?]

B. [Some hours later, he's sitting at the fountain, fumbling with what seems to be cloth and a length of rope. He's trying to tie the cloth up, but why? His concentration is so strong he doesn't notice anyone staring or approaching.]

C. [Even later later(!!!) before you can see it coming a ball of cloth is flying through the air at your general direction. (Don't worry, it probably won't hurt very much on the offchance you get hit. Let's just hope for Taiyou's sake the person who gets hit isn't pissy...)]

Gangway...!

[Raine's more than happy to see a familiar face at the fountain, but... what exactly is he doing???

Obviously this means time to investigate!]

Taiyou, what are you doing?

[glassworkgenius]

Ah, Sage-san!

[He waves a little, then looks back down at his handiwork--which... really doesn't look like anything right now.]

I'm trying to make a ball. For soccer.

[ladyofruinmode]

... Soccer? [She blinks, a bit confused. She wants to remark that his... handiwork doesn't really look like much of a ball, but she keeps that to herself.]

[doingthemistything]

[Whoops, that nailed him in the back of the head.

Kirino blinks a few times in confusion, then picks up the cloth ball and looks over in Taiyou's direction.

... There may just be a hint of a smile on his face.]

[glassworkgenius]

[Oh, hey he recognizes that pink hair. As he runs over, he starts.]

Kirino! It's been a while.

[Scratching the back of his head he apologetically grins.]

Sorry about that...

Whoops icon fail

[doingthemistything]

Hey, Taiyou! [Kirino's smile widens as he shakes his head.]

Don't worry about it. [He looks down at the cloth ball, then up to Taiyou.] Makeshift soccer ball, I'm guessing?

[brightfuture]

[ Mac Anu's resident gloomy Harvest Cleric spots you by the store's door and blinks. It takes him some courage, but you seemed nice regardless of everything that has happened, and...

and...

um. ] You okay?

[glassworkgenius]

[Oh Hope--! The sunshine will clear away those dark clouds of awkwardness soon enough! ... Or maybe make it worse.

Taiyou blinks and shakes his head.]

Yeah I am...

[Despite his words he doesn't really look it.]

[brightfuture]

[ ... burn them down?

He's quiet for a moment, debating whether not to leave it at a simple nod. ]

... Don't have money, huh?

[ You know it's bad when you have Hope rushing to your aid. ]

[resipiscence]

[ looks like a ball of cloth is incoming, ho! he actually doesn't see it coming, since he's really just passing by, so when it enters into his field of vision, he just sort of reacts instinctively. and like a good sakka kid, he catches the cloth ball with his feet--

fluidly directing it to the ground, then putting a foot on it to trap it. he blinks after a moment, then picks the ball of cloth up and dusts it off. what is this, and where did it come from? looking over to the direction where he thinks it came from, he spots someone more or less his age. holding it up apologetically! ]

Sorry, is this yours?

[glassworkgenius]

[Taiyou waves, and has an equally, if not more so, apologetic expression as he approaches the stranger who aptly caught his ball. Those movements were pretty sharp: he would have expected someone to dodge rather than stop it.]

Yes that's mine, sorry! I think the weight must still be off...

[hoperaider]

[Well, there's a reason that Jake isn't a Light player in his game. His luck is rather bad.

So bad, the ball perfectly nails him on the head. If it was any heavier, he'd either be unconscious or on the ground seeing stars and wishing he was unconscious. As it is, he's just...confused.]

[glassworkgenius]

[Oh shucks this is embarrassing.]

Are you okay?!

[He's going to rush over to Jake now, rod out ready to heal him and all. Overreaction?

Probably.

But it's the least he could do after accidentally hitting somebody...]

Hello again, Amemiya Taiyou.

[glassworkgenius]

Al Saiduq-san, hi!

[His expression lightens up considerably upon meeting again with a friend he hasn't seen in a while.]

How are things?

[protecting_soccer]

[Thankfully, Endou had the reflexes of a goalkeeper, so when the ball of cloth came straight at him, he caught it easily. Absently, he noted in his head that it was roughly the same size as a soccer ball.

He looked over in the direction in which it came from, at the person he thought it came from.]

Is this yours?

[glassworkgenius]

Nice catch!

[Taiyou gives Endou a thumbs up, when he stops a short distance in front of him. The shorter boy... kind of looked like someone he saw while watching the Holy Road tournament on TV.

Or is it just his imagination...?]

Yup, I made it.

B.

[reified]

[ aaaand guess who's looking down at you and your efforts-- ]

What are you up to?

[glassworkgenius]

[Well hey as long as it's looking down in the physical sense and not the metaphorical one!

Taiyou has a quick look of surprise on his face before responding to the sun god's question.]

I'm trying to make a soccer ball, actually.

[isolates]

[A movement at the edge of vision catches his attention and Yuuta turns around to find a ball flying towards him. Suddenly instincts take over and he jumps up to trap the ball neatly on his chest. Having been stopped, it falls to the ground. The boy lands next to it and puts a foot on top of the ball.

Now that he isn't in danger of being hit, Yuuta looks about him to see who the ball could have belonged to.]

[glassworkgenius]

[Taiyou's eyes widen...! He'd recognize soccer skill when he saw it!!]

Yuuta-kun...!! You know how to play?

A

[takingyouhome]

Are you looking for something, are you? [Rena had almost bumped into the boy as she was walking around the shops. She frowned a little when she noted the disappointed look on his face.]

[glassworkgenius]

[afdsjfsd normally Taiyou would be paying more attention but his mind is just. Set on soccer right now. Not to say he's not sorry for nearly bumping into Rena, here's an apologetic bow.]

Um, yeah I am! No luck so far... Sorry about almost running into you.

[adarable]

[ It's Taiyou---!

Ada turns on her heel to walk hastily to him, giving a curious smile when she reaches his location. ]

Mister Taiyou, hello! [ pause ] What is that you have there..?

[glassworkgenius]

[Ah, someone suddenly calling out to him stuns Taiyou for a second! Not to say it isn't a pleasant surprise, especially from someone as sweet as Ada.]

Ada-san, hi~! [He looks back to his craft, then raises it up so she can have a better look!] I'm trying to make a ball! But it doesn't look much like one yet...
