An Old Industrial District, Tokyo, Thursday Evening

[soniaroadsqueen]

One of the things that Ringo really loved about visiting home, besides seeing her awesome sisters, was getting to AirTrek with people who had been doing it almost as long as she had. The scene had continued to evolve since the last time she'd visited, but that just meant that it was possible to get involved in a pick-up match of almost anything. You could even get into a casual game of Balloon, which hadn't really been something she'd ever imagined.

And while she might find it difficult to admit, the public nature of AT gatherings in Tokyo (well, public within the community, anyway) gave her a chance to show off. Sure, Ringo tried not to be too, you know, arrogant or anything, but she knew she was good. Really good. And having people who could recognize that, and appreciate it, was a real thrill.

It just felt awesome to have people clap and whistle appreciatively at some of the tricks she'd spent so much time practicing over and over back at Fandom. The hard work wasn't for nothing.

"This is so much more amazing than last time I came out to one of these!" Ringo declared excitedly as she flopped down on the ground next to her sisters to take a quick breather and chug water from the bottle she'd brought with her.

"Fly, jump, kinda the same thing, right?" Dante said, as he made sure he set Alluka down carefully.

She grinned as she got her balance back.

"It is, if the jump is big enough!"

Dante grinned at her, and then walked to the edge of the roof.

"Now, look at that," he said, "We've still got a great view."

[that_oldsaying]

She skated over, careful of the edge, and peered down.

"Look!" she said, pointing. "There's Ringo!"

[rebelseekspizza]

"Lookin' a lot smaller from up here," Dante said, as he sat down, legs dangling over the roof.

"I like it better," she admitted, watching everyone down below. "It's less... everywhere."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Good," Dante said, chipper. He flashed her a quick-- grin. Let's call it a grin. (It was a smile.) "No point in goin' somewhere to have fun if it's not fun, right?"
