A. ACTION
[ Waking up in a strange place was one thing.

Waking up in a strange place after the last thing you remember was a bath and a toaster was another.

But waking up in a strange place after remembering the bath and the toaster and not having your phone to check your horoscope or find out what your lucky item of the day was because you sure as hell need one if the first two are happening? That's a whole other beast entirely.

There's something of an inward panic on multiple levels going on right now, especially when he'd plopped down on the roof of the library and is now presently peeking over the side. In fact, the scene might be comparable to a very annoyed cat trying to figure out how to jump down off of something he probably shouldn't have climbed in the first place. But Midorima won't meow, no, he's too stubborn. He'll just look incredibly pissed off at the ground being so far away. ]

B. TEXT
[ Once Midorima had finally gotten down and had settled a little, he headed back to the library. If there were computers there, he could check his horoscope and at least have that small comfort to deal with the fact that he was suddenly dead.

You know, except there was no horoscope so he was just going to have to ask. ]

How do you access Oha Asa on these computers? The site says it can't be found.

[ That's the real important shit to know after you're dead, after all. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The ability to dominate the court, continue practicing even if you're already the best, and winning.

[ And teamwork but that's something he won't say outloud with someone who he doesn't even know is good enough. ]

I'll judge if you're good enough when I get down.

Why don't you marry basketball if you love it so much. [What a chump. Better not shit all over Bertholdt, that kids hard to build up and way to easy to knock down!]

Bring it, green-haired guy.

[ Don't worry, his shitting on people is.. constructive shitting... He's learned how to teamwork okay!!

He's going to climb down now if Jean doesn't fuck with the ladder okay. ]

Who's your Captain?

You need a Captain?

[No really, do you? Jean don't know shit about basketball.]

[ Once he gets down completely he turns around and seems appalled that he doesn't have a captain. ]

You don't know at least that much!?

[ HOW ARE YOU EVEN BASKETBALLING ]

Fine, dickcheese, I'm the captain.

[Jean just smirks, yeah authority.] What now you tall piece of shit?

[ Midorima's lips curl up in something of a smirk. ]

I wouldn't believe you were a captain in a million years.

[Just look at this guy, he's begging for Jean to act out-- begging.]

Ha! Well I am, too bad loser.

Your entire team can play against me and I'll take them out if you're captain.

Look at you, cocky piece of shit.

[He's going to find Bertholdt and-- well, there is this other guy on that basketball team that Jean hasn't meet yet also. So, those three (or just Jean and Bertholdt, whatever) are going to get to gather and kick your ass, green guy!!]

Experience and confidence in the face of an apparent captain who doesn't have his own jersey.. I wouldn't call that cockiness. [ There's a brief pause, but he has to ask just one thing. ] Your muscles weren't built playing basketball. What position do you play?

Edited 2013-10-15 22:08 (UTC)

I call it fuck off how about that one and I don't know. I'm in the military, you fucking green guy. [Jealous? Look at these muscles... well actually the other guy has muscles too but not from working hard and being a cool military man.]

If you don't know what position you play, then you're not even qualified to be on the team let alone the captain.

You can't fucking decide who get to be on the team and who doesn't you fucking.. green guy. You just got here!! [Jean's defensive now, okay? Don't go asking Bertholdt something like that and then shitting on him. He'd up and drop the one thing he feels going doing, more importantly Jean's the guy that helped him find it so-!! You fuck right off green guy.]

Perhaps, but I'm better at basketball than you are.

[ Not probably. He hasn't even seen Jean play, but he knows. He knows. ]

How the hell can you stand there and stay that shit? You don't know that, hell, you don't even know where you are or who you're being lead around by and you're still talking shit.

[Jean swear, this green guy.]

Maybe not, but I know basketball.

[ Pushes his glasses up. ]

My position is shooting guard. Former Vice Captain of Teiko's Basketball Club and part of the Generation of Miracles. Before ending up here, Shooting Guard for Shutoku, one of the Three Kings of Tokyo.

Well, I don't know what any of that means so you can shove it up your ass. We just play for fun, okay? [He honestly doesn't, they don't have professional basketball in his world. Nothing this guy is saying is making a lick of sense.]

You've never won anything then?

[ Midorima can't see that even functioning. Playing for the sake of playing, practicing, that's fine and all but.. ]

If you don't play against others and win or lose, you can't improve. You can't hone your skills or become a better player. You're only the strongest until you meet someone stronger, but only then can you become stronger. Otherwise it's just killing boredom and eventually it won't even amount to that.

[ He speaks from experience, knowing someone who went through that roof and ran out of things to make it fun. ]
