Sometimes it's hard to know which way you're suppose to go
Who: Goten and OTA
When: IC-Date September Catchall
Where: Various places
A) Fishing - Hakkai's School Courtyard
[It's a few days after first meeting Caster that the way the god was fishing is still bothering him. He doesn't understand how it would be more effective then just jumping in and chasing after the fish.
So he's trying out fishing at the pond in the back of courtyard at the school. He's already taken an accidental dive into the pond before and he knows there's something there. Maybe it's a big fish he can show off to Caster...if this fishing rod thing works.
The young shinki sits by duckweed covered pond, frowning in concentration as he ties some string to the bamboo stick. He doesn't remember everything the god had to do but he did remember the stick, string and he just needed some bait.]
I think that's how it was... what do fish like to eat?
B) Exploring - Various Temples
[With so many new gods appearing, there are more temples to explore too. But there always seem to be abandoned temples that appear as well since he never can seem to explore them all. Being as curious as he is, Goten flies down landing on roof tops and court yards alike.
He knows better then to randomly enter the building of a clearly occupied temple. He has manners! But that common sense doesn't expand to the outside of the temple even if they're gated by high walls and whatnot. He freely walks about, checking out the areas with little worry. Sometimes the outside of a temple gives hits to what kind of gods live there which...would be helpful if he knew anything about various gods.]
C) Training - Abandon Temples
[A bright flash of energy and Goten drops from the sky. Nimbus swoops over, easily catching the boy as he catches his breath. Goten wipes sweat from his face on the back of his sleeve as the yellow cloud bobs up and down a bit to make him smile.
He's been practicing for the last couple of hours but training by himself isn't as fun as fighting Hitsugaya or Izumo and Shizuo. He would usually track them down but Goten needs to figure out ways to get the upper-hand first. Because he practices with them so much he's starting to realize how predictable some of his attacks are. Even with being able to go blonde, Hitsugaya especially is difficult to fight because he's able to guess what Goten is going to do. He's too straightforward but how do you change that?
Goten frowns thoughtfully before falling backwards, laying on Nimbus as he stares up at the clouds above. Training solo doesn't seem to be doing much for him and no matter how much he thinks about it, nothing comes to mind.]
D) Baseball - Near Forseti's temple
[After the first ball went through one of the window's of Aymeric's temple, Goten decided to put a little more distance between himself and their home. He'd have to apologize later to his god the next time he saw him but for now he was focusing on his swing.
It was his last visit to the Near Shore that he spotted some other kids playing the game. He didn't really understand it and even though he tried to play and get their attention it was no use. Goten knows why that is but it's still frustrating. Seeing other kids roughly his age playing and not being able to join in isn't fun.
So maybe if he practice the game and got really good they would some how be able to see him long enough to play!
He's trying his best but his attempts aren't going so well. Tossing the ball up into the air, he then tries to swing with the bat only to miss almost every time. The few times he does hit the ball it goes flying in a random direction or down at the ground so look out!]
E) Wild Card
((For all catch-all things through-out this month. Anything goes!))

[She mirrored his salute right back.]
The same goes for you, too, you know. If you ever need help with something.
no subject
Mmm, if you're offering to help with anything....
[He glances back to her eagerly]
The next time I have homework! I'm not that good at math or the kanji stuff!
no subject
I might be help you with both of those things. Especially maths.
no subject
[He perks at that.]
It's hard for me but Aymeric and a lot of the other adults make me study cause it's suppose to be good for me. Training and playing games is more fun though.
no subject
I used to do a lot of scientific engineering and mechanical work. You need to know math in order to do both those things. If I hadn't studied as hard as I did when I was your age, I wouldn't have been able to do half the things I can now.
no subject
[It's not said sadly, just stated. Goten clearly doesn't mind the fact that he died because he feels alive anyway. Plus look at all the friends he's made being dead!]
no subject
It sounds to me like your other friend is missing the point.
Being a shinki doesn't mean you should stop learning new things. Think of it like training for your brain.
no subject
[He beams at her in excitement. Best plan ever.]
no subject
[Because she absolutely could see him trying to nudge the bulk of it her way in favor of faster completion.]
no subject
Right!
no subject
In that case, next time you have homework, come by my Temple. I'll even make dinner.
no subject
Really? That would be great! I get homework a couple times a week but Hakkai doesn't give too much. He's just stern about it and stuff.
[He's honestly more excited about the food part of that deal.]
no subject
Then should I be expecting you a couple times a week from now on?
no subject
That's okay, isn't it? I wanna eat dinner with you, Mai! And learn stuff.
[Clearly the food is priority here.]
no subject
Of course it's okay. I said before you were always welcome, didn't I? I wouldn't say things like that if I didn't mean it.
no subject
You did! Thanks Mai, you're awesome. I can't wait!
