So it seems that endless pestering does work. Sanada, welcome to the wonderful world of socialising on the internet. I congratulate you on actually listening to my reasons and I also applaud you for lasting this long.

In other words, Wimbledon is going well. I beat Del Potro today in the quarterfinals but his growth from last year is quite extraordinary. In any case, it looks like we will be facing each other after all, Echizen. I'll see you there.

I still fail to understand what I'm supposed to do, honestly. And I kept getting errors the first time around. My computer kept buzzing.

Keep working hard. I know you can win.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

*sighs* Again? Are you sure that you're left-clicking and not right-clicking on stuff?

And you catch up with old friends using this. It's easier than emails and phone calls (especially since you're difficult to get a hold of, Genichirou >:[ )

But thank you, Genichirou. I won't lose at Wimbledon.

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

I'm supposed to right-click three times on everything, right?

I was working odd hours for a long time there, so I barely used my phone. But I suppose this will be easier. My hours have also stabilized some.

I know you won't. I've recorded (well, Sasuke did)every match so far and I can see your determination.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Nope. One left-click. That's it. (How are you even doing this, I thought I taught you the basics in middle school? Do I need to send Niou and his hacking skills after you?)

That's good to hear. Some downtime is encouraged, even when you want to make the sincerest of changes to the world. You can't work all of the time~!

I am glad and honoured by your faith in me. I don't even think Minoru has taped all of my matches XD

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

I'm receiving help. I understand now, one left click. There's no need to send Niou after me.

I feel restless with too much downtime.

And of course I have faith in you. I'm not stupid.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Niou's probably a better teacher than me, though. Actually, I'll be getting computer lessons from him once the tournament season is over. I don't know much about actual coding and more intricate details beyond how to use a computer ^^;

Too much is bad for anyone, but a little will never hurt. Once I'm back in Japan, I'm taking you clubbing or something. Or something more tame, the media will probably have a field day if I go clubbing....

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

I suppose someone should make sure I don't make this thing explode.

Clubbing?!

Tamer, please. I'm not going to go clubbing.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea. Though I believe computers are slightly more resilient than that. The only way you could kill it, is if you took a katana to it.

A pachinko parlour? Perhaps an onsen then? Or the theatre. Or maybe even a game of tennis? I do hope that you haven't gotten too rusty, Sanada.

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

Or slamming your fists into a laptop when it starts buzzing at you.

Well, of course I'll play tennis. And anything else besides clubbing would be fine, too.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Well yes, that too. But I wouldn't. It hurts too much when it does happen ^^; What do you mean, that's from prior experience? <<;

Good ^_^ We shall either play tennis or I shall take you to a theatre. I'll let you know closer to that date. ...And does that mean clubbing would be alright at a later date? Because I know this place....

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

Yes it does.

No! No clubbing! Not now, not ever!

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Just a joke, Sanada. I shall have my clubbing adventures with Akaya or Shiraishi-kun, perhaps.

I have missed having proper conversations with you ^^ Now I just need to find Jackal and Renji again....

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

I've missed it as well.

I haven't heard from anyone in a while. I hope they are well.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Niou and Yagyuu are doing well. They're dating now, I do believe. Not that it's much of a surprise. Niou's searching for his little brother...but it isn't going so well. Yagyuu's going through university to get his degree for being a psychologist or a psychiatrist. I get so mixed up between those two terms ^^;

Akaya's studying as well, to get his vet degree. he's working at a local clinic, I believe. And Marui's cafe is doing marvellously. His pastries are simply amazing~!

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

Everyone is keeping busy, I see. I'm a little surprised to hear about Niou and Yagyuu...

His brother? What happened?

And Akaya working with animals...hm. I didn't see that coming.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Yes, life is very busy nowadays ^_^ But I think we established that you are romantically clueless weren't focusing on romance during our schooling period, so I think it was obvious if you were looking.

Niou's little brother was taken away by their parents sometime during middle school, and Niou has no idea where he is. Now that he's an adult and his little brother will also be an adult this year, he's trying to find him. I admit, it seems like trying to find a needle in a haystack and can only sympathise for Niou.

Well, neither did many people, but he knows what he's doing. I'm proud of what he's been doing. And I'm pretty sure he's got an admirer in the form of Krauser-kun, as well ^_^

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

You're right. I guess if I was thinking in a romantic sense, I might have seen it.

Ah... I see. I hope he find him.

I'm glad Akaya's found something he's good at.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Maybe so.

So do I. I only wish I could do more to help......

Sanada! Akaya was good at plenty of things! Like making you angry.

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

I know that! I meant I'm glad he found something that he's good at that he wanted to do for a living!

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Just checking....*sighs* We really need to speak in person. I'm missing far too many verbal cues in your voice. *facepalm*

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

Don't be concerned about that for now. Focus on winning.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

I have far too many reasons to win this Grand Slam. I won't lose this one, Genichirou. Pinky promise.

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

Ah. I'm glad to hear that.

[atoberex.livejournal.com]

I have reserved our seats for A Midnight Summer's Dream, at the Globe, on Tuesday after the finals. I expect you to pay for them, you know.

[ooc: AKA good luck! :D ]

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Of course, Atobe. I'll see you there.

[ooc: Yukimura appreciates it.]

[pontanooujisama.livejournal.com]

Not if I get there first. Then, I will see you there. :D


[OOC: Oh, whoops. Did he just put a smiley there. Nope, definitely not because he's not enjoying banters, they've never amused him, no. XD]

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

With your penchant for being late, I sincerely doubt that you'll get to the court before me. I'll see you there.

[ooc: Yukimura just assumes that he's laughing about the joke. So dense, Yuki.)

[pontanooujisama.livejournal.com]

Che. Whatever.


[OOC: Ooh, sore spot Echizen? :'D He has indeed been late to a match or two and been fined and scolded by his team. >> Not in particular order of severity. >>]
