Match 3

[mathisradical]

Action: Outside 1249 Williams Road

[ Niou steps out the front door just to trip over a package lying there. He trips, letting out a couple of swear words, and looks around quickly to see if anyone saw him. ]

Who the fuck-

[ He stops his angry question when he actually looks down to see what he tripped over. It's a package, and the shape of it is

[Crowe's wandered into the rec center now that the event from the other day is long over. He's heading to the pool, but stops when someone is using the tennis courts, when usually they're empty. Oh. that looks like fun. Have a spectator, Niou.]

[mathisradical]

[ This is Niou not noticing Crowe. But he can promise that it is fun. It isn't until he runs out of tennis balls and has to go to the other side of the court to retrieve them that he notices he has company. A slight blink of surprise before he masks it with a razor grin. ]

You play?

[perfektsymmetry]

Oh. Um. Actually, I don't, but I've thought about it. I-I haven't seem too many people playing here, though.

[mathisradical]

That's because everybody here don't know a good sport when it's starin' them down. Now get over here, I'll teach you. [ He might take no for an answer. Maybe. ]

[myougi]

Well, well, well. Fancy seeing you here!

[ guess who else has his tennis stuff with him? And not just his racket - looks like most, if not all of his tennis gear has been returned to him. ]

[mathisradical]

[ Marui is promptly ignored for several moments until Niou runs out of tennis balls to hit. Then he looks up, and doesn't seem at all surprised to see him. He figured he'd run into him eventually. So he just grins his razor grin and gestures to the other side of the court with his racket. ]

Well? What're you waitin' for? Go get warmed up and prepared to be slaughtered.

[myougi]

[ that's okay, he'll just do his pre-game ritual while he's being ignored. It involves cake, naturally. ]

Slaughter, huh... we'll see about that! [ and he'll start on his warm-ups diligently, taking his time to do all the stretches properly. No sense in rushing things. ]

[mathisradical]

Damn right we'll see. [ Unfortunately, Niou's being unusually impatient today. So he's going to half-heartedly serve some of his retrieved tennis balls at Marui to hurry him along. ]
