000 [Action] 4th Walled

[aerialassault]

[The mass influx of wingless people doesn't throw Cliff off his game. After the last few weeks of cleaning up messes and dealing with the natural fallout of the Malnosso's influences within the village, the flood of new faces is somewhat relaxing for a laid back guy.

He set's his sights primarily on helping out in the Welcome Center for the weekend, planning on spending his time pestering his friends while he was on the lookout for familir faces that he hadn't seen for a while. When he's not there he spends his time hanging out in the Battle Dome or Good Spirits in the evenings before returning to his apartment in the Ground Building at night.

All in all, it's a pretty normal day.]

battle dome!

[positivelycharged]

[He caught the ball easily enough - he's gotten pretty good at that.

The dribbling, on the other hand...probably isn't going so well, considering he just accidentally bounced the ball waaaaayyyy off over there.]

Ah--oops.

Welcome Center

[aerialassault]

Uh. That's a little formal for my tastes.

[His intention was only to help interested parties get stronger, not create an open forum for actual classes.]

battle dome!

[aerialassault]

[Clearly, this was gonna take a little time.]

Don't sweat it, kid. Nobody gets it on their first try.

[He retrieved the ball and bounced it back over.]

You've just gotta go a little easy on it, is all.

Welcome Center

[ahappylie]

Oh, so you'll just keep gathering them up with nowhere to keep them?

[Souji was obviously teasing as he leaned in closer to Cliff, tilting his head back to look up at him.]

That doesn't seem very nice.

battle dome!

[positivelycharged]

Easy...like this?

[Bouncing it...reeaaallly slowly......or as slowly as you can bounce a ball, anyway.]

Welcome Center

[aerialassault]

It's not like there's nowhere to 'keep them.' The barracks, rec center, and dome are there for a reason, yanno.

[He pouting childishly, he poked Souji on the forehead.]

Besides. Maybe I wanna teach some of them ping pong. It's not a bad idea for one of them.

battle dome!

[aerialassault]

Close! Now you've just gotta make it a little faster without doing it too hard. Think you can do it?

battle dome!

[positivelycharged]

I can do it! It's not hard.

[He says, but it's hard to keep himself from trying to go too fast, and it doesn't take too long before the ball slips out of his fingers again.]

Welcome Center

[ahappylie]

[He took the poke in the forehead, rubbing the spot in mock indignation then gave Cliff a look of shock.]

You'd keep a child in those places and not at home safe and sound? Cliff-san, we can never have children again.
