[Text] 1st Goal

[pengeen]

Good morning. My name is Kidou Yuuto. I've come to understand that there isn't a way back to my town currently, so I have to make myself comfortable here.

I grew up in an environment where soccer is very, very important. And from what I can tell, it's not very popular around here.

So, I was wondering if anyone here knew how to play or would like to learn.

lemme know if color/font isn't okay

[greenshift]

good morning kidou :)
ive never played soccer before but i would like to learn!

I love Homestuck, give me all of your delicious font

[pengeen]

I would be more then happy to teach you.

excellent

[greenshift]

hehe sounds good!
do you play on a team back home?

[pengeen]

I've played on multiple teams but I do have a home team I play on.

[greenshift]

wooow
so you sound like...
a soccer champ :o

[pengeen]

Ah, thank you. 8)

But I wouldn't have been able to get to where I am without my teammates.

[greenshift]

hehe of course!
have you found any of them here with you?

[meddler]

You mean football?

[pengeen]

Yes. In Japan we call it soccer, though.

[meddler]

Japan? Well, I suppose I probably should've guessed with the name, but you can never be too careful. For all I know, you could have been from 67th Century England where there was this subculture of parents naming their children after foreign—

[ oops, sidetracked. ]

But never mind that.

The point is that you're looking for someone to play football with. Now, I don't normally brag [ blatant lies ], but I happen to be quite good at football.

[ When he remembers that it isn't the one with the sticks. ]

[pengeen]

You are?


Would you like to meet somewhere and play, then?

[meddler]

I'd love to!

[ Wait... ]

Providing of course, you show me your face. Nothing personal, just a precaution. You know how it is. One minute, someone invites you out for football, the next, you find out it's somehow part of their ploy to take over the universe using their life force.

Not that it's ever happened to me.

[ ... ]

Yet.

[pengeen]

Oh, alright. Just a moment.

[And it does take him a moment but he gets the video going. He offers a smile and a small wave.]

[meddler]

Well, you look harmless enough, but any funny business, and I'll be right off. I've got a friend here that would kill me should anything bad happen to me.

[ pause ]

Where would you like to meet?

What's a soccer?

[pengeen]

Soccer is a sport played in most countries. Though it's also known as Football.

[Perma video]

[hairdecs]

... ah! I think I've heard of that on the television sometimes! Is it a lot of fun to play?

[Forever text]

[pengeen]

Yeah. I love soccer.

Welcome to Siren's Port. You seem to be adjusting well. [ Most people ask for help, not to play games, after all. ]

text

[pengeen]

I wouldn't say that I was adjusting well. But thank you, nonetheless.

[reversing]

It isn't common for people to seek out companions so quickly. Not here.

text; It's ok I feel your pain

[pengeen]

...is that so?

text

[reversing]

Not unless they've already found companions from home. Most people ask questions first and then attempt to make bonds.

You must be level-headed.

text

[pengeen]

Level-headed?

You could say so, I suppose.

You mentioned that soccer is important in your world. Why don't you explain how?
