Old dogs, new tricks

[sexysensei]

Looks like this not so old man is getting with the times. I don't know why I didn't do this earlier. Probably was too much of a hassle at the time. But it looks like a good way to keep in touch with students, both former and recent.

So feel free to drop me a line or even drop by. The spare key is where it always is.

You and Gin-san? If I didn't know any better I'd swear it was a conspiracy, and if any more Shiten guys pop up I'll know I was right!

That said, long time no see! How's life been treating you, old man? :)

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

You know me. I'm just too lazy to participate in conspiracies. But I'll keep an eye out for familiar faces. Just in case.

Life's been interesting, as always. Looks like life's been treating you good too, Senri.

[ooc: I think Osamu calls most all his former students by given name and not family name]

[wingofkyushu.livejournal.com]

Too lazy or sneaky enough to be involved with one and try and sidetrack me with talk of laziness. haha but it's all good, it's great seeing familiar faces. I'm getting nostalgic!

Life is an eventful thing, I'll give you that much!


(ooc: That's fine with Senri!)

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

And I'll never tell you which one.

It's like a reunion.

Indeed it is. It always finds ways to be unexpected.

[wingofkyushu.livejournal.com]

You and Gin-san, I swear you're both evil geniuses!

You're telling me!

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

I think Gin would be the genius. I'm just a simple middle school teacher.

[wingofkyushu.livejournal.com]

There was nothing 'just simple' about you.

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

You flatter.

[wingofkyushu.livejournal.com]

A skill I've acquired over time. ;)

[master-of-zen.livejournal.com]

I assure you, Chitose-san, I have not conspired with anyone.

[wingofkyushu.livejournal.com]

See, you and the old man, if anyone was going to conspire and get away with it, it would be you two because no one would believe it! :)

[master-of-zen.livejournal.com]

You could be correct.

And if that assumption is correct then the question then must be, how will you ever know the truth?

[wingofkyushu.livejournal.com]

...

...

Damn.

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

Senri....stop calling me old.... I'm only 12 years older than you....

[wingofkyushu.livejournal.com]

That's only a handful of years too young to have been my dad! :)

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

Your dad had a kid when he was 12? That's impressive.

[wingofkyushu.livejournal.com]

... That came out wrong... My dad was very early 20's when I was born. I meant you're a few years shy of being old enough to be my dad. :) Which isn't a bad thing, you should embrace your oldness!

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

I'll do that when I'm 40! I'm still young!

[wingofkyushu.livejournal.com]

haha I don't doubt that.

[zenzaip.livejournal.com]

Where it always is, huh? You in the same place?

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm a creature of habit like that.

Still in the same little hole in the wall. I remember telling you once, it's not much but it's mine.

[zenzaip.livejournal.com]

Nice to see the good things haven't changed.

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

They haven't at all.

[master-of-zen.livejournal.com]

It is good to hear from you again. As with the others, I have missed the contact.

I hope you are well.

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

Hey big guy. How have you been. It's been an age!

[master-of-zen.livejournal.com]

It has been a while, yes.

I am doing very well, thank you for asking.

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear. I'm always happy to know my old students are doing good for themselves.

[master-of-zen.livejournal.com]

I would like to believe that I am doing as well as I am able. I am, at least, happy in what I am doing, which is the best I can hope for.

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

That's all anyone can ask, really.

[master-of-zen.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is.

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

.... Gotta say, wasn't expecting to see you again. Should have expected it, though, but whatever. How's things?

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

There's an adage about bad pennies.

Trying to get information about Shitenhouji tennis, hmmm Coach Shishido?

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

Not at all, but if you're going to have loose lips, it would be a waste for me not to take advantage of that, ne? And it's not Shishido anymore, it's Kabaji. I got hitched over the summer. You been up to anything interesting?

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

I don't have anything to tell, I'm afraid. You and your team will just have to wait and see next year.

Oh? I didn't know. Congratulations.

As for me. Not really. Same old same old in a LOT of ways

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

Aw, fine. I suppose that's fair. ~_^

Thanks. Now, if only he'd stay still so he can get better and heal up.

Still working at that place, huh? Lazy as ever, then, I take it?

[speedo-star.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Wrong REPLY LINK. ><]

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

More than fair. Though if you ever want to do any joint training camps, let me know.

......I don't have a choice about that. So please, don't say anything Always. Why make the effort to change a good thing.

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

You know, that's not a bad idea. Maybe come spring, your team could come up here to Tokyo? Not trying to dis your school, but Hyotei has way better facilities for something like that.

Your secret's safe with me, man. Because change can be good?

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

What color were your courts again? Still purple. Then no. Can't nap on a purple court. Come down Osaka way. I'm sure our hotels will be happy to get some Hyotei funding tossed their way

Yours is too Only in small enough currency to fit into a vending machine.

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

Haha, nice try. They got turned back to green years ago. But if we do it early, I'll take you up on Osaka. Your weather is nicer.

Thanks. Not enough for cab fare?

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

It's Osaka. Our everything is nicer.

Why take a cab when I can walk where I want to go. It takes a little longer, but I get to enjoy the trip more.

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Does your locker room have a sauna AND a dry sauna?

Hmm, I guess for you that would be fine. But when you look like a chick even dressed as a guy....

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

No. Damn that's swank.

It is I can see how you have that problem. I just worry someone will recognize me from my nighttime activities

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

See? You should bring your team here.

At least you don't have to worry about your students recognizing you from pilfered spank bank materials.

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

You have a point. They let coaches use those things too?

That's only because I've always managed to hide my face for that sort of thing.

[speedo-star.livejournal.com]

Who died and expained internet to you?

And no matter what happens, I'll still call you an old creeper! Wanna get a free cholestero check when I'll get to visit you? xD

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

I've always known about the internet. I was just a little late to the party. You know I like to take my time.

Kenya. Don't be mean. I'm really not that old. And my cholesterol is fine. But you can use whatever excuse you want to visit me.

[speedo-star.livejournal.com]

You mean you're a snail. :D

I know, I know, I'm mean like that, sorry. I was just teasing you. :) I might drop by - got too much time lately and you know how I've never been one to sit around for long.

[o-samu-chan.livejournal.com]

Kenya, don't insult the snails. They'll cry...really really slowly.

I know you don't. You know I'm just sensitive about that. You know my door is always open to you. And I know how you are. If you don't have anything, you crawl up the walls.
