Hey, Doubles Partners!

[wildlion_kippei]

I team up with Oshitari, Fuji, Mukahi and Akutagawa for doubles next week. Anyone want to get together and strategize? Maybe we can nab some other pairs--ones we aren't playing next week--for some practice so we can get used to each other's styles.

Who's game?

Am I the only one who loves rankings?

...why would I bother wasting my time with you, when I have a set doubles parter that could beat your pants off?

[wildlion_kippei]

Because if you don't do well in the rankings you may not make the team, much less with your "set" partner. Or haven't you counted the number of possible regulars yet?

But if you don't think you can keep up with me, suit yourself.

...What the hell does this practice shit have to do with rankings? What part of:
None of these matches are about winning; no scores will be kept, these won't be on record, for anything other than how certain combinations worked out.
Do you not understand? And I don't freaking care if I'm a regular or not. I play tennis for fun.

Che. Keep up with you? I doubt you can keep up with my play style.

[wildlion_kippei]

I don't know anyone who plays tennis because it's a chore. I always have fun; and I always play to win. *G* Even if sometimes I don't. I'd like to know what to expect from you when we're on the court together, but suit yourself.

*shrug* It'll be too bad when Oshitari makes regulars with a different partner....

That other bit was OOC instructions for the players. As far as I know, these matches matter just as much in regulars selection as the singles matches did.

[13endy_13itch]

Che. It's just practice matches, so why does it matter? I have better things to do than waste my time working on doubles for one little practice.

Ha! The only reason that Yuushi signed up was because I wanted him to. He'd never do that.

...instructions for the players, which we are. We were told they are not important, so they aren't.

[wildlion_kippei]

Pax, pax. I tried to get you fired up, and it backfired.

I'm sure he wouldn't.

[13endy_13itch]

It was a dumb way to get me fired up, anyway. Che. At least offer ice cream or something yummy.

Damn right.

[wildlion_kippei]

:D Would you like to grab some ice cream sometime? See? Despite rumors to the contrary, I'm trainable.

[13endy_13itch]

Che.... Maybe.
