Preparing for the Open

[pontalovr]

I've got a month. Well, less than a month really. Then it's down to Australia, with the drop bears and the spiders and the snakes and all the other great things that will kill you if you look at them wrong. Don't believe me, have a map of Australia.



Still, it's going to be a bit weird, not having certain people to play against. But I'm not just going to stop training because there are less decent players out there.


Christmas. People are already talking about it. I hate it so much. I should be used to it by now, but every year, I see all the crap in the malls and all I can think is "Bah Humbug". Oh well. I'll probably be too busy to give a crap anyway

I love how Steve Irwin's out in the middle of the sea XD

You got time to come visit, inbetween all your training, Ryoma-kun~?

[madamadapro.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's pretty morbidly funny.

Visit you? Yeah. I think I can come by some time and say hi.

[ryuukou-tomo.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, my brothers used to love that show. Sometimes, I thought he was more dangerous than the animals he was fighting so the picture was appropriate~

And yay~ I'll have a birthday present for you~ And cookies too :D

[madamadapro.livejournal.com]

Yeah? I thought it was a cool show too.

It's not Hookers, is it? You know you don't need to do that. But I'll take the cookies.

It was interesting. Made me a lot less willing to be an explorer in foreign places, though.

But I want to! We're friends, right? That's what friends do :) And I hope you like them. It's not as good as Sakuno's cooking, but it's definitely better than Inui-senpai's.

[madamadapro.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We are. And that's not hard to do, you know. Cooking better than Inui-senpai. I don't think anyone is as bad as him. I still have juice nightmares.

[ryuukou-tomo.livejournal.com]

Everyone still has juice nightmares, Ryoma-kun T___________T But yes, you're correct in that it isn't difficult to cook better than Inui-senpai :)

[madamadapro.livejournal.com]

Then I think I'm safe with yours.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Not missing me, are you?

And don't forget sunscreen actually. I heard Melbourne might reach Perth temperatures this year.

[madamadapro.livejournal.com]

Yeah right. I just want some fodder to throw to the man eating koala bears.

Geeze. What are you, my Mom? All right, Mommy. I won't forget my sunscreen.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Tennis balls work better, I find.

And fine then. See if I care if you come out looking like a lobster. Actually...that'd be pretty amusing :)

[madamadapro.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but watching them maul you would be hilarious.

I see that you don't care one bit and I was going to anyway. I don't need you telling me how to take care of myself.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Mmm, maybe. But it's more amusing to tame them with well-placed tennis balls and make other people scared.

Whatever you say, Echizen~

[mount-tezuka.livejournal.com]

Certain people? I will be there. It is, as my agent says, my big return after climbing Mt. Everest. Although I have been playing in some smaller tournaments. You know how agents are.

[screened]
What are you doing for your birthday this year, by the way? I will be in town for a change. I think I owe you a drink or two.

[ooc: Buchou is buchou :) ]

[madamadapro.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess that makes it better, Buchou. At least I won't be bored out of my mind with the competition. And yeah, I know just what they're like. A pain in my ass.

[screened]
Honestly, same thing I do every year. >strike>avoiding whatever shitty Christmas/Birthday gift my dad tries to give me Nothing. Nada.

You do. And I want Ponta.

[ooc: strikes deleted]

[mount-tezuka.livejournal.com]

My agent and I have come to an understanding. He understands that there are some things I won't do.

I will do my best to keep you from getting bored.

[screened]
Hm, I owe you several Pontas. Shall we start early then? Kawamura Sushi, lunch tomorrow?

[madamadapro.livejournal.com]

I'm still working on that. How'd you finally beat him?

[screened]
A case at least. Sounds good. I haven't had any in ages. I'll see you then, Buchou.

[ooc: and I totally would love to log something between them at some point...]

[mount-tezuka.livejournal.com]

Quite frankly, the fact that the paparazzi avoid me makes him rather depressed at times.

[screened]
Would you like that wrapped or more simply presented?

[ooc: Yes! Lunch or what? Who shall start?]

[madamadapro.livejournal.com]

Oh, those guys. I really REALLY need to learn your secret with that one.

[screened]
Just bring the Ponta.

[ooc: start with lunch and move from there? I can start it if you want me to]

[mount-tezuka.livejournal.com]

First, be less interesting. I'm not sure you can pull that off, though.

[ooc: Yay!]

[madamadapro.livejournal.com]

Riiiight. That and don't let my guard down, right? You got that market cornered buchou.

[mount-tezuka.livejournal.com]

Naturally. Although you tend to not let yours down in a much more newsworthy way than most others. Thank you?

[madamadapro.livejournal.com]

What can I say. Things happen. You're welcome

[mount-tezuka.livejournal.com]

And this is why the paparazzi don't leave you alone.
