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. ]
[Funny how sometimes he honestly does give good advice; he always thinks his advice is good, but someone actually saying so was a really nice bonus he didn't expect to hear. Giving Ken a brighter smile, then chuckling and tossing that apple core into a trash bin, he's reaching to pick up another and offer it over.]
Well, I've been trying to stick to things that look simple. It's filling, but hard to mess with. I feel just fine, so I'm sure most of the food is okay, if not weird looking. [Apples are 900000000000000000000000000000000000000x safer than a roach cake. Who the hell eats the roach cake?] Either way, I don't think we would be brought here just to get poisoned during lunch. Seems like a waste of effort, and we'd see more sick people.
[ Although Ken takes the apple, he can't help but give it a suspicious frown. ]
Mm, you have a point. But it could always be a slow-acting poison, you know? Or maybe only some of the food's poisoned.
[ Like the roach cake, for instance. ]
Like a survival of the fittest kind of challenge. Or rather, survival of the best poison detectors. Either way, it'd be a really crappy thing to gather up a bunch of people just to poison them to death and then... I don't know, do whatever villains do with a bunch of dead bodies. I mean, it's bad enough we're all stuck here.
[ He turns the apple in his hands to get a good view of each angle. It... it seems normal. ]
I'm sorry. I'm being way too paranoid, aren't I?
[ Oikawa ate one, so he can eat one too. He's not going to be afraid of an apple of all things. Munch. Well, it... tastes normal. That's a pretty big relief. Phew! ]
Honestly, paranoia's a good thing in a place like this. I'm not going to hold it against you for being worried. But starving yourself out of fear isn't the answer, we have to stay strong enough to handle whatever comes our way, you know?
[Oikawa is picking up another apple for himself now, and a water bottle because staying hydrated is important even when not playing sports - keeping ones body in good condition for whatever is about to come. That's all he can concentrate on for now.]
So what do you think, want to go exploring a little? There's notes to be taken and things to look at out there. I tried making a map earlier, but it wasn't going over too well.
[ At least, should the food somehow be safe, they have a chance at fixing whatever went wrong. Starving? Well... not a good idea. And who knows what's looming around the corners? ]
I wouldn't mind a little exploring, but I did notice that... the layout is really weird. The lengths of the halls... seem to change and... I don't know. It's like I'm hallucinating, but I know I'm not.
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?
[He's moving to go pick up his phone, and on returning to flip it open and check the number - that's weird, he already has it???? Super weird.]
Whaaat, I'm totally an idol, I'm too amazing for my own good! [He downright pouts about it, one hand already working on a text - there is no safety for you Tsuki-chan. These flip phones only require him to have one thumb free to fire texts away and he is a master at this sort of phone.
(๑ゝڡ◕๑) tsuki-chan here you go now you know its meeee!!]
I've got Tobio-chan's, but I don't have your managers.
[Hold on he's double checking - yep, that's correct, he definitely doesn't have hers.] What's her name? [Also, this is definitely like the Tokyo arc, only it's Seijoh style.]
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]
I'm sure one will turn up eventually, I'm not too worried. I just can't run like a maniac again, or you know, trip over literally everything.
[Pressing those kneepads into Yosuke's hands then and backing up to bounce the ball a handful of times, just giving an excited little grin, Oikawa waits patiently for Yosuke to be ready.]
[While Oikawa's busy playing with himself, Yosuke straps his designated kneepads on, over his trousers. Playing sports...stuff in uniform is gonna be foreseeably uncomfortable, but it's not like this is a real game or anything. Oikawa's just...showing him some stuff.]
Yeah, that was uh...pretty bad. At least save that up for something really dramatic.
[Like being chased by zombies, or something. But then again, who the fuck knows what that thing was. Is? Was.]
Heeh, okay, okay, extra promises, I'll wait until there's some death defying feat I have to pull out of nowhere.
[Bouncing the ball up higher so he can catch it instead, Oikawa holds it under one arm so he can step closer and reach to lightly arrange Yosuke's arms into a proper receiving position, once he's prepared.]
Okay, best advice I can start with is to keep your forearms straight and your thumbs flat. You won't hurt yourself by catching a hard to receive ball that way, not that I'm going to make it tough for you.
[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: ]
[AH FIRST NAME BASIS IS THIS A JACKPOT?? NO, BUT IT SURE MAKES HIM FEEL LIKE IT IS. He couldn't contain this smile if he tried, it made his eyes really light up when she said that nickname. Bouncing it again and then swapping to light overhead passes, things she could still definitely get, he's slowly increasing how hard they would be to receive; figuring out just where her skills are.]
Heeeh, it's super good to meet you too, Yuuko-chan. Hey, you're pretty good at this! [Join my team pretty girl I'll give you lots of tosses <333]
[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!

Tsukishima Kei
[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.]

Do you need the numbers for those from Karasuno, as well? In case you don't have them?

Yosuke Hanamura
[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]
no subject
[His brows furrow at the sight of his tongue and his eyes drop, noting the..safety measures secured at his knees. Ah.]
You still haven't found any braces? [More concerned rather than unimpressed.] We should be looking for those instead of screwing around you know...
[But okay, he'll step nearer to accept those pads.]
no subject
[Pressing those kneepads into Yosuke's hands then and backing up to bounce the ball a handful of times, just giving an excited little grin, Oikawa waits patiently for Yosuke to be ready.]
Promise, I'll be extra careful.
no subject
Yeah, that was uh...pretty bad. At least save that up for something really dramatic.

no subject
[Meaning...it's probably a bad thing to even consider, really. Time to pretend a situation like that isn't worth considering at all!!]
Err-- [Oh, okay, right. This doesn't seem safe at all. A ball could easily ricochet off his forearms and slam into his face like this.
Yosuke: the clumsiest guy in all of Inaba.] So I'm just supposed to stand like this?
[Why does it feel like he's been shafted? V-ball players are supposed to be bouncy and blockey and stuff.]
