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.
I tried mapping it earlier from the gym to here, and there are at least three different hallways that seem to shift into place. The gym won't show up until there's at least four classrooms between them in one of the hallways, and the others have only three classrooms per streak.. they lead to various other places.
[Fishing out a paper from his jacket to read and be sure he's explaining exactly what he wrote, Oikawa gives Ken a mild grin.]
So, we could experiment with that to see where those other hallways go. It's definitely strange and totally changing on us, so you're not hallucinating.

Aaah, scuse me. That was really hitting the spot.
