That's my team

[The door to this bedroom is open. Kairi's sitting at the desk, scrutinising a calendar on the wall in front of her,]

Aww, man, the cricket'd be on at the Gabba today! We were gonna get tickets for that...

(ooc: Because I'm bored? And I really did go to the cricket.)

[walking by, but he peeks in when he hears that, confused.]

Uh, sorry to poke into your personal space, but... the what on at the what?

Ahh late mun is late :/

[jewel-sea.livejournal.com]

[Looks up, smiling.]

Cricket. It's a sport. And the Gabba is the sports stadium back where I come from.

'salright!

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

Oh. I've never heard of that sport. What's it like?

It's what I get for playing two characters at the same time XD

[jewel-sea.livejournal.com]

It's really good. Do you know about baseball?

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's not big back home but I've played it a couple times.

[jewel-sea.livejournal.com]

Well, it's a little like baseball. However, in cricket you've got two batsmen in the field at the same time, and they run back and forth between the wickets. Also, you can get up to ten batters out in an innings. It gets more complicated than that, but I don't wanna confuse you. [Laughs.]

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

[chuckles as well.]

Yeah, that sounds just a bit confusing already.

[jewel-sea.livejournal.com]

Well, when it's the sport you've pretty much grown up with, you get used to it.

You're a Riku, right? Or do you have a different name?

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

I guess so.

My name's Isi; the Riku in my world is actually my mom.

[yes, you heard right.]

[jewel-sea.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, commence brainbreak. She'll just have a O_o face for a second there.]

Y-your mum?

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

[it's okay, he's plenty used to it.]

Yeah. I know versions of you, Sora, Roxas, and Namine, but they're all my friends parents. And switched genders, because that's just how my world is.

[jewel-sea.livejournal.com]

Oh... woah... sorry, it's just... really weird for me. [Still. Thinking about Riku as a girl. She hasn't met any genderswap yet.]

[isirocks.livejournal.com]

It's alright, I understand. Mom and mama told me about this place growing up, since they'd been here before, so I wasn't too surprised to see teenage, opposite gendered versions of people I knew.

[Hi, this is Namine sneaking up behind you. Hope your hearts in good condition...]
...HEY!!!

[jewel-sea.livejournal.com]

[Jumps, whirling around in her chair.]

Namine! Oh my gosh, you half scared me to death! [Takes a few deep breaths.]

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[She smiles]
Only half?
[She gives a small laugh before looking up at the calendar]
Hmm, the cricket's on today...

[jewel-sea.livejournal.com]

[Sticks tongue out.]

That's what I just said, silly. You would've had to watch it on tv, being in Sydney, but we were gonna get tickets.

You go to matches in Sydney sometimes, right?

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[She smiles and imitates Kairi by also sticking here tongue out]
Sometimes, but I never took a big liking to it.
[She laughs a little]
I think I'm the odd one out in the family when it comes to sports.

[jewel-sea.livejournal.com]

Cricket's the only thing I've ever gone to watch at the Gabba. The boys sometimes go to watch the football, but I was never interested in that.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

Roxas likes football too.
[She sighs]
He once tried to get me to help him practice! The most embarrassing moment of my life...

[jewel-sea.livejournal.com]

[Laughs.]

Oh that would've been fun to watch! I play football with them occasionally, although recently Tidus and Wakka have gotten into water polo.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[She frowns]
It was not funny!!! I kept falling over!!!
[Her mood lightens a bit]
Hmm, well, that sounds like fun

[jewel-sea.livejournal.com]

I do that too. I guess it's just not as noticable because there's usually at least six of us, and we all fall over a bit.

It is, but it's dangerous too. They're almost on the Brisbane under 18's team.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[She grumbles]
Yeah, lucky you. Roxas just kept laughing every time I fell over trying to kick the stupid thing! You now see why I'm not big on sports!
[Her expression lightens a bit though at some memory she decides not to share out of a fear that it may bring up teasing]
Wow, that's impressive!

[jewel-sea.livejournal.com]

Aww. Cheer up Nam. If he ever shows up, we'll jump-tackle him so he falls over. [Grins. Also notices that expression.]

Or have you already knocked him on his butt without telling me?

Tidus wants to go to the London Olympics in the Australian team.
