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.

Rika arched an amused eyebrow at him. "Oh? Did you have some suggestions for new hobbies, then?"

[rebelseekspizza]

"A couple," Dante said, tilting his head. "One or two are even PG-13."

Stop trying to get into Ringo's sister's pants, Dante.

"These are new hobby ideas for Ringo?" Rika asked, smirking even as she widened her eyes in over-acted surprise.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Nah, I think she's probably better off starting with Lego," Dante said, undaunted.

[otherroadriders]

That earned him a laugh. "Lego, huh?" She grinned. "Think she could sit still for long enough?"

[rebelseekspizza]

"She'd probably get mad at a piece of it and get distracted by that for a while."
