[When the feed turns on, Killua is holding a battered soccer ball to the screen.]

The weather's been great, so I thought it might be cool to play a game. Anybody know soccer? I've got two balls, so we can even play with both at the same time if you want more of a challenge. The stadium would be perfect.

I've never played but I wouldn't mind learning.

[idkmybffgon]

No sweat! I don't mind explaining.

[verlorenscasket]

Alright! So how does this game work?

[idkmybffgon]

There are two teams, and each team's goal is get the ball into the other team's net, which is on the other end of the field. Each time you get the ball into the other team's goal, you score a point for your team, but you can't touch the ball with your hands. [He wiggles his empty fingers to illustrate before popping the ball up with his knee.] The only person who's allowed to do that is the goalie, the one person who protects each team's goal.

[verlorenscasket]

Ahhh. Alright. So how many people are on each team? Do they all have special jobs like the goalie?

[idkmybffgon]

Well, that'll depend on how many people we can round up, but usually you have eleven people playing on each team. Aside from the goalie, I guess it's easiest to just sum the rest of the team up as offense or defense. You get people who go for the goal, people who help defend their own goal, the players in the middle, that sort of thing.

Sounds fun! You wanna show me some stuff with the ball? Kicks and things like that?

[idkmybffgon]

Sure! I'm at [x;y], the stadium!

[verlorenscasket]

Be there in a flash!
[Okay, not exactly a flash. But how could you dawdle when he was smiling all cute like that? Not a pedo, promise. He gets there in a relatively short amount of time. And waves as he jogs over to the boy.]
Alright, I'm ready to have my ass handed to me. Let's do this.

[D'aaw. He's perfected looking cute. Even moreso when it's genuine.]

Yo!

[He offers a short wave in return before holding up the ball.]

Alright, but only 'cause you asked for it.

[Unlike during his superhuman death match with Hiei though, Killua kicks the ball to Frau at a pretty normal rate. Well, normal for a professional player.]

[It's an important trait to perfect.]

Jeez!
[He manages to stop the ball, but he winces a little. That was a naked shin, most definitely.]
Ya mind showing a guy a couple of techniques before you wail on him?

[offline]

[idkmybffgon]

Oh, sorry!

[And he means it, even if he can't show any concern.]

I thought we could just start by kicking it back and forth, but if you want me to show you some techniques instead, we can do that!

[verlorenscasket]

No, no. It's alright. Just show me how to properly kick the ball first.
