Catch-all: Taichi

I like being versatile. And I can learn stuff from other sports that I can apply to playing soccer and improve my game.

[ercnerd]

That much is the same for me. My mastery of various weapons augments my swordsmanship. As long as it's within the realm of combat, I'm also versatile.

[goalsides]

Okay but then what about outside of the realm of combat? One day there may not be any monsters left. So what then?

[ercnerd]

That sounds like a good day! If I'm still around, I'll figure it out then.

[goalsides]

[hm. give him a second to ponder that.]

You really think it's going to be an ongoing thing for that long?

[ercnerd]

As long as there are demons, there are going to be monsters.

[goalsides]

Then how do you get rid of the demons?

[ercnerd]

By fighting them, of course.

[goalsides]

So then if you're constantly fighting them, wouldn't you eventually stop them from existing?

[that's how it's supposed to work??]

[ercnerd]

That's the goal.

So did you come here to practice soccer?

[goalsides]

[he opens his mouth because he has more questions, but he gets that change of subject.]

Yeah. I haven't practiced for a little while, figured I may as well take advantage of the field. Ever play?

[he thinks he knows the answer, but.]

[ercnerd]

["I thought this was soccer! Soccer!"

"Yes, it's soccer and your role is the ball."]

. . . Sometimes.

[goalsides]

[hm. bad. but taichi takes a few steps back, dropping the ball and immediately bouncing it from foot to foot.]

Come on then. You probably won't even sweat that much.

[ercnerd]

[Oh, no.]

Does no one else here like to play soccer?

[goalsides]

I don't know, but you're the only one who's here right now.

[we are gonna prove a point, sieg!! what point, who knows, but a point!!]

[ercnerd]

[Sieghart, too, will prove a point.]

How about I watch you instead? I don't like running.

[goalsides]

I'm starting to think you're scared of not being good at it.

[ercnerd]

Who, me? I already know what I'm good and not good at. Besides, I'm more of a baseball guy.

[goalsides]

Then grab a bat and I'll pitch. [PROVE IT!!!

not that taichi's a baseball person, but it's not like it's hard to play.]

[ercnerd]

Hm . . . but I don't feel like it?

[goalsides]

That's very disrespectful to the field, Sieghart. [is it.]

[ercnerd]

It's disrespectful to force people to attend a school they didn't apply for.

[goalsides]

Okay, that wasn't my fault though so that shouldn't even count here.

[ercnerd]

My point is, I'm not doing anything I don't want to if I have a choice.

[goalsides]

[rolling his eyes.]

Does that include going to class and doing the task board stuff?
