Chapter Four: Normalcy [Accidental Video]

[breaksmybones]

[Surprise! Surprise! A broadcast not about the veggie menace. The video bleeps on with a very close up image of Claire adjusting the camera of her Dreamberry, unaware that what she was going to record for the high school cheering squad has become a public broadcast. She backs off, satisfied that the image wasn't crooked

Is that a cheer routine?

[breaksmybones]

[Claire instantly stops moving when she heard a voice come from the Dreamberry, mouthing a "No". She disappears on-screen in order to turn off the music. The girl walks over to where she had placed her Dreamberry and takes it into her hand in order to talk whoever was on the other line.]

Yeah. [She presses her mouth into a thin line, running a hand through her hair before speaking again.] Yeah, it was suppose to be one, anyway...

[kickable]

What team do you cheer for?

[breaksmybones]

Uh, the football team. The [insert the public high school's team name here.].

[kickable]

Right! I've seen that routine before! Looks a little different, though...

By the way, I'm the kicker -- Koutarou Sasaki!

[breaksmybones]

I was messing with the choreography. The squad is thinking of changing it up.

Ah, right. Koutarou. I think I saw you practice with the team once on the field when we were on the field.

[kickable]

It looks good! We have to have the best cheer squad to inspire the crowd when I go to kick.

[breaksmybones]

[This guy's reaction wasn't exactly she was expecting, given that he is a football player and all. But she had to admit is was a nice change.]

Thanks. Just keep playing a good game. Give us a reason to cheer about.

[kickable]

I'll give you plenty of reasons to cheer! The number one kicker in Somarium is Koutarou Sasaki!

[ He is so pumped up now that he's combing his hair passionately. Kicking is so smart! ]

[breaksmybones]

[Quite the character this one. She's trying not to laugh at the hair combing.]

Save some of that for the field, okay?

[kickable]

It doesn't matter when! I'm always ready to take on a kicking challenge!

[ OH SNAP GREAT IDEA HAS JUST HIT HIM. ]

Have you thought about putting in some kicks in your cheers?

[breaksmybones]

[Going to humor the guy a little.]

Something like this?

[Claire kicks her leg up, holding it with both of her hands while doing a spin. After completing the turn, she goes back to her original standing position, bring her leg down carefully back on the ground.]

[kickable]

That kick just now... It totally looked like Deimon's tight end...

[He has never experienced this before. A kick has actually made him shudder. That sparkly idiot tight end... Insulting kicks like that! It's unforgivable!]

[breaksmybones]

Deimon's what now? [Raising an eyebrow.]

[kickable]

A football player on another team. But forget it. It was kinda smart!

[breaksmybones]

Uh, thanks. I guess...? I'll probably add that in then.
