[Yoite has been hiding again after the whole experience of being a child and all. But that's what had made him think to talk openly over the network. people were so nice to him as Sora so why not try at this whole social thing again?] My name is Yoite. I've been here for months and I've hardly stopped to talk to any of you. Yoite doesn't like

....hello?

No, go on. Would anyone like to do what?

[voice]

[am_i_even_alive]

Hello?

[Someone was responding? He didn't expect that.]

... Ball

[Great time to chock, Yoite.]

Baseball. I ... Yoite has a burst of energy?

[Why was this so hard to do? All he had to do was ask if she wanted to play with him.]

[voice]

[thebooksaysso]

[Maybe he can't see it, but he can probably hear her smile.] I see. I suppose most of us are feeling a little restless....I'm afraid I don't know how to play baseball, though, I'm sorry.

Yoite....you're Gau's friend, correct?

[voice]

[am_i_even_alive]

[Oh he can. She seems like a gentle woman, probably why he's embarrassed himself.]

Restless? No, Yoite has energy today. Oh ... basket ball instead?

[He never feels this well see, so he wants to make the most of it.]

No. Yoite is Ototou-kuns ...I ... yes.

[rainingcereal]

Are you referring to yourself in third person?!

[am_i_even_alive]

..... Is that not normal for Yoite to do?

[rainingcereal]

Most people kinda don't- [shrugs] Never mind. What were you saying just now? Would anyone like to what?

[am_i_even_alive]

Yoit- Err ... I was asking if anyone had any spare balls.

[voice]

[justice_by_coma]

You want what? WHAT, Yoite-kun?

If you don't tell us what you want we can't do anything about it!

[That blunt, irritable, familiar voice is back again, Yoite~ And he's totally going to ignore everything you said about wanting to die, out of the sanctimonious goodness of his heart. You know he's not atheletic at all, of course...]

[voice]

[am_i_even_alive]

Play with me?

[Its becoming more and more easy to talk to you at least, Gau,even when you're blunt like that.]

Ball, play ball I mean.

[voice]

[justice_by_coma]

What? [Totally thrown.]

Like...sports? [Oh crap. He was never much good at those. He'd kind of figured Yoite wouldn't be either, but...

GULP.

...He has the feeling he's going to regret this, but he asks through gritted teeth:]

...You need people to...play sports with you?

[voice]

[am_i_even_alive]

Yes.

Sports.

[He's still, paused and waiting for Gau to continue talking. Oh Yoite doesn't see why Gau can't play sports, he doesn't see Gau the way Gau sees himself, so there is no reason in Yoite's mind why Gau can't come and play.]

I can't pitch and catch by myself or I would be doing that now.
