Heeeh, I think they would give enough of a glowing recommendation about how I'm a captain. Don't sell yourself short though, you've got time to make it happen! It is a lot of hard work, but leading is about knowing each of your teammates strengths and utilizing them, not just about being at the top.
So no matter what sport you play, those are probably the best things to keep in mind.
[Flashing a peace sign again, making a more contented smile, Oikawa is going to take a bite of this apple; it tastes fine enough, at least. Nothing strange, no worms in it, no rotted bits. He's a bit hungrier than he thought and turns away slightly to just keep eating, pointedly no longer looking at those nasty cakes.]
That's... some really good, really adult advice. Thank you, Oikawa-san.
Ken's never really thought about his future too much. He'd had plenty of time to do it, just... found himself thinking of other things. It's hard sometimes to stop living in the present long enough to think about and plan for the future.
[ While Oikawa eats his apple, Ken glances toward the more normal food. ]
You're pretty brave. I mean, that apple looked normal and all, but I can't help but be suspicious. Which... probably comes with the territory of being abducted. Um... do you feel all right still?
[ Either way, Ken's positive the apple is 10000000x safer than a roach cake. ]
Yup! I'll take care of everything, Tsuki-chan, don't you worry your little head.
[Flashing that peace sign - it's almost trademark - with a winky, Oikawa bounces that ball before tossing it up to bounce overhead. He'll go turn his phone up on the loudest ringer after Tsukishima has left, and probably check his phone - ah wait.]
Oh, I should get your number then, for texting purposes! It's better to have than to be lost in the weird hallways, mm?
I'll be honest, I want to trust at least the signs when they do put them up. If they didn't, people would be going out there right now looking for escape routes, right? When they're done spraying whatever in the air, I'll gladly go outside and investigate then. I don't want to get poisoned just for not listening to a sign.
[Ahahaha, at that sort of comment, Oikawa winks and sticks his tongue out, before reaching down to pull up one of his pants legs - yeah he's wearing knee pads already man, you can't out him here.]
I'm prepared! They aren't knee braces, but they will do pretty well so long as I don't slam into the floor. [So come on, play with me, play with me 8DD]
[What no don't call Iwa-chan he will beat me with a ball!! ;a;]
I sure am! I'm the captain even!
[Bouncing the ball towards her, idly watching how she moves to receive and send it back, she's good enough. Better than a handful of first years at least, and she's cute. Is this what it's like to hit jackpot? No, he has to get a date before jackpot can be called.]
Well, I think you're not too bad, you're better than some players I know from other teams. [Not his team. His team is fantastic. She's probably good at other parts of the game though, at least that is what he's thinking.]
[ Captain of his school's volleyball team and he's cute. He's a catch, she'll admit, but playing is the most important thing on her mind... for now. Good luck getting that date, Oikawa. She sends him a question along with the ball: ]
[HE'S SO SORRY HE DIDN'T REALIZE YOU WERE QUITE A YOUNG LADY UNTIL AFTER HE SAID ALL THAT TERRIBLE STUFF. His smile is sheepish and apologetic by now, shaking his head to the question and moving to step away from the nasty cakes - Oikawa even lifts a hand as if to gently herd her from having to look at it anymore either. To the normal food they go!]
Ah, no, I'm totally uninterested. Hey, let's go see if they have any pudding cups, those are way better! Best snack, they might even have chocolate and, you know, normal food!
I'm assuming normal pests until I'm shown whatever creepy things this school could possibly have. Bugs, rats, you know? It's just easier. [IT'S JUST LESS STRESSFUL TO THINK ABOUT GIANT PLANT MONSTERS OK. Puffing a sigh and moving to stand, Oikawa is fishing out his phone to start scaling through the numbers.]
Now where is Iwa-chan, which number is it so I can text you whenever I please...
[Easier, but not necessarily smarter. While Oikawa might wish to play pretend, he'll consider the awful possibilities and keep quiet about it for now. At least until the truth comes out.]
You... [God, how frustrating.] ...shouldn't need to ask. [He's met someone before and found out that numbers seem to automatically update, but he hadn't thought about the abnormal amount of texts he'll probably get later.
He's also still thinking about the date that's on there too, but he doesn't bring that up.]
[You should join volleyball. Come play volleyball, tall kid.
Shaking his head lightly and turning Mayu around to put his hands on his shoulders, Oikawa walks him a bit further down the hall - which classroom is he supposed to be in? Who knows, Oikawa is putting him in whatever is closest. Looks like it's 1-A.]
Nooo, don't say that. It's never okay. Have some self confidence! Don't let the world use you as a doormat!
[It just takes a lot to argue. He didn't argue about his brother leaving home even though he was adamantly against it, and thinking on it now, he realizes that it wouldn't have changed anything. Umetarou would have moved out because that is what he wanted. All the reasons were good and he had the means to be able to live on his own.
It's certain truths like that which has him say that he should just give up on something, but it's also just too much work.]
I knooow. I'll be making better posters later. Are you interested in any of them, by the way? Or are you just staring the symbols down waiting for them to make sense too?
[Since he's done fussing with other posters, Oikawa is capping his marker to curiously look at this guy; he's tall enough, he could do volleyball probably. Actually, it's with another look that he wonders if he's actually in high school..]
I don't think leaving is an option, they're spraying outside for pests... and leaving during that seems like a baaad idea.
[He doesn't want to dash her hopes that he is certain they're too far for a simple train ride home, as much as he'd like the idea. Her expression is more than concerning though, and Oikawa ends up planting a hand on her shoulder to give her a reassuring smile.]
Things will be okay! Come on, let's go get something to eat and calm down, it's easier to think on a full stomach, right? [Come on, remember the name. He knows where she's from now, he's seen the name on the charts under manager, she's a helping manager? Learning, she looks like a first year. Hi..something. H. Y. is what he remembers, shoot.]
[She's doomed to be H.Y. forever. It's sort of cool, like a secret alias :E
Yachi wonders what kind of pests those are... She doesn't like bugs, so she doesn't mind staying inside a bit longer anymore.]
R-right! You're right, let's do that.
[She's smiling, expecting Oikawa to lead the way, but the smile is a bit strained. All of this happening at once, she didn't feel like eating all that much. Her stomach felt weird, like she was so anxious she was sick-- on the other hand, maybe it felt weird because it was empty and she was actually starving?? Does she want to eat or does she want to throw up???? It all felt the same.
