3rd Goal

[whatpenguin]

Characters: Genda and anyone who stumbles across him!
Setting: Floor 32
Format: Action is preferred
Summary: Genda's pissed off after a past conversation, and decides to blow off steam.
Warnings: None yet, though Genda's v. angry, whoops.

[Genda's set himself up a small training area on the far side of the island, deciding to only use one or two of the trees for training, since the tower provides little else for such things.
One tree's decorated with little, hanging foil shapes to keep birds away from the area - don't want them nesting in trees he may shake up! - and its bark looks fairly worn down.
Right now, that's where Genda can be found - he's been working on his punches, since it's the main force behind his goalkeeping tactics. Every once in a while, a punch may have visible, orange shockwaves - it's something he's working on, and these fists are filled with emotions that need to be released somehow.

If you happen across him at the right time, of course, he does pull back from his relentless attack on the poor tree - only to summon a huge drill above his head and burying it within the wood.
That helped a bit, sure. But now he's short one tree, and he promise himself he wouldn't destroy the forest.]

... Damn it.

Comments

[pengeen]

... of course there is. I look up to a lot of people, in the Tower and from our home.

[whatpenguin]

Ask yourself, then - what team would your hero join?

Whose footsteps should you follow?

Where would they want you to end up?

[pengeen]

My... hero? [The only person he'd ever thought of as a hero was Kageyama.... and it was hard to say what Kageyama would want.]

... He would probably tell me to choose whichever path I think is right.

[whatpenguin]

Then you should do that.

[Shrug!]

It's simple when you think of it like that, right?

[pengeen]

[He shakes his head]

I don't know which path is the right one to take.

[whatpenguin]

... Hmm.

Is there anyone you can talk to here, Kidou?
Anyone who understands you more than I do, or Sakuma does?

[pengeen]

... I don't know. [He doesn't even understand himself, Genda.]

[whatpenguin]

I meant an adult or something, Kidou.
Like I used to have with Coach Hitomiko.

[Sigh.]

[pengeen]

..well there's Kageyama-san.

[whatpenguin]

... Kageyama?

[pegeen]

[Hesitantly, he nods.]

Yeah. He's here in the tower.

[whatpenguin]

And you trust him?

After what he did to Teikoku, and Mikage Sennou, and Zeus?
After what he did to Sakuma and I?

[pegeen]

... I do. [His gaze shifts to the side. He forgot that Genda wasn't aware of what all had happened... explaining this won't be easy.]

He's not as evil as you think he is... and since an incident that happened back at Liocott, he's been trying to shift how he does things. He's trying to be a good person.

I don't forgive him for what he has done, and I never will. But I'm not going to turn my back on him any longer, not when he's trying to put his terrible ways aside.

[whatpenguin]

...

Alright. You do what you want, Kidou - but after the pain he put Sakuma and myself through, I'm never going back to him.

He can renounce his ways all he wants, but we've been hospitalized far too much to accept him now. At least, in my eyes.

[pegeen]

I don't blame you at all.


... He's only going to be around for as long as he's in this Tower anyway, so you shouldn't have to worry about him.

[whatpenguin]

I suppose.

[Huff... He still doesn't like the idea though. Especially after the pain he and Sakuma have gone through.]

[pegeen]

[He's quiet for a moment, trying to think of any way to make this conversation.... less depressing.]

Oh, right. I have something to give to you, though we'll have to go back to my room to get it.

[whatpenguin]

A gift?

[/SPARKLES - only not really. But he's curious!]

We can go now, if you'd like.
... I'm done here.

[pegeen]

Alright. [And he starts walking, not bothering to wait for Genda to catch up or anything]
