Why is he thinking? We all know this leads to bad things.

[Ken needed to think.  After all, there's lots to think about, this place, the weird ass stuff that happens here, not to mention the fact that people are getting back abilities that are superhuman, but perhaps they aren't out to kill him or cause mayhem or get immortality out of it. 

So, he went to the place he felt the most comfortable.  You can now find the former soccer pro doing the legit thing he does best, showing off his skills with a soccer ball at Tiger Field, the field out by the high school.  Why there instead of the park? Its cause it has goal posts of course.  He's camped out in the middle of the wide open space and is willing to do tricks for you.  Seriously, movement helps him cope.  So feel free to bother him, try and steal the ball, talk  or just applaud, he's actually quite good and doesn't mind an audience.

Right now he's just bouncing the ball off his head meditatively.]

[Well, he's noticed, but he's the type to pretend not to notice scars, he had a few of his own after all that he didn't like to talk about. It may be the one thing he has tact with]

Basketball's fun too! But I think soccer's my favorite.

I haven't played soccer in a long time. But I need to get home to deal with this homework.

Ah, sure. My team has qualified for the World Cup this year so I should practice.

[Winces at the word homework]

Oooh, good luck with that. I'm glad this place didn't slot me back into high school.

[She raises her hands up toward the ball, though she doesn't grab it yet.]

...But Key will not be very good at it.

So Uguu

[Wait, the hamster is running in its wheel in a different direction]

Wait, you're the little nation dude for Japan right? We got into the World cup?! FUCK YES!

[notyoureditor.livejournal.com]

I'm still in middle school.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

It's ok, you don't have to be good at it. The point right now is to have fun. [hands her the ball]

[fuelefficient.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes Though our first set of matches are...probably impossible to win.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Really? You look older then that.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Hey Hey Hey! Don't be like that! We'll blast through!

[notyoureditor.livejournal.com]

Eigth grade. I'll be in high school this fall.

[He was in seventh at home, but things are easier here and he's actually at grade level]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Wow, are you excited? [He's honestly curious]

[fuelefficient.livejournal.com]

Cameroon, Denmark, and Netherlands are all more experienced than myself.

[metal-idol-key.livejournal.com]

Have... fun...

[She looks, unsure, at the ball.]

All right. Key will try her best.

Will you block the goal like in the normal game?

[notyoureditor.livejournal.com]

It'd be better if I was home instead of here.

[He sighs]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Alright. Just give me a moment to get over there. [He smiles reassuringly at her] If you have any questions, just ask ok?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[He sighs as well] Yeah. This place likes to play nice and all but I wanna get home too.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Come on, it could be worse, it could be Spain or Brazil, you know how their teams get.

[fuelefficient.livejournal.com]

True but practice will make perfect.

[notyoureditor.livejournal.com]

I was in Westport last week. That was pretty terrible.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Exactly! You gotta believe in those guys, they've worked hard they'll pull through for you, you'll see.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Even bigger wince]

I wasn't stuck there, but I got over for that first day. I...I'm sorry you had to go through that.

[notyoureditor.livejournal.com]

[He twitches a little]

I've been through worse.

[Nic starts walking away]

[fuelefficient.livejournal.com]

Do you play this frequently?
