I find myself in a predicament.

While Atobe made a valid point that professional athletes must look the part - I just realised that I have absolutely no idea how to model anything. Actually, I have no knowledge of fashion in the slightest.

This may be a problem.

Does anyone have any data that may be useful on this subject?

Not everyone needs to know about fashion. Why is that a problem?

[kanzenkakuritsu]

I never thought it was a problem, either. However in light of some recent data, it seems my reputation from years ago precedes me and I am doing little to improve upon how people see me.

Atobe had a valid point about impressions. I am not used to caring or acknowledging such things as being a priority, but I feel as though perhaps it is important for me now.

I overheard the definition of a "creeper" and apparently people would perceive me as such, even if my intentions are out of concern or kindness.

[michimiyayui]

I think that's a bit shallow. I don't know about your reputation but you should only care about things that are relevant to you. If someone thinks fashion is important doesn't mean it is for you or for others. I don't care about fashion and I don't judge anyone based on that for instance.

Weeeelllllll, yeah, creepers are creepy, but there's little to do with how you dress. As long as you are dress, na 8)

I hide because I feel as though I may scare someone. I've been told I'm intimidating. So often I will hide and wait for them to pass so that I do not scare them. Often times there are very few places to hide and I have to improvise.

As for fashion, it is mostly to improve my chances at success in my career. Though I only really own sportswear to begin with, since usually I just train or go to class. Not much else.

I am glad you wouldn't judge me for what I wear. That is comforting.

[michimiyayui]

Oh wow... why are you so scary? o_o

What do you need for your career? Suites and things? That can be a little meh. All i need for mine are overalls! I'm happy with that. Are you a sports person? Sportwear can be nice.... you could end up looking like a chav tho.

Can't judge a book by its cover, like they say.

Ah, well I'm tall and I often don't say much unless you ask me something. I caught you so you didn't fall when you bumped into Sanada-kun earlier.

I went away quickly though because I have heard that it isn't good to have two large men surrounding a woman. People will think that untoward things are happening. Or the woman herself may get scared.

I don't know you very well, but I also didn't know how you would react to it. So I left. Sanada-kun is very nice though. I am glad you seemed to get along.

As for my career... I wish to be a professional athlete. So sportswear is what I will be wearing most of the time. However the point was made that if it doesn't fit me or I don't look good in it that sponsors will not pick me to represent them. Which is definitely an issue.

IT WAS YOU? Thank you, I would have had a giant ass bruise otherwise! >o<

I see I see. Some might, I guess, but you could have jusy walked away if you thought that. I don't usually feel intimidated by height, besides I wanted to thank you at least.

Sanada-san is funny, isn't he? He's like a big teddy bear hehe. But I just met him, I might be wrong and he would be a very bad person. Who knows. So far, he's nice.

Ahhhhhh I'm sure sponsors what to dress you though. They don't care how you dress now as long as you wear their brand afterwards. The important thing is to be good at what you do. Sport is one of those few careers where you can just wear what you life or wear what they give to you and as long as you perform, they'll be happy. If I were you, I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about stuff like that, just be you.

[kanzenkakuritsu]

I wouldn't wish you to be injured. I dislike seeing people hurt. Are you sure you're all right. You didn't twist anything? I do have medical supplies if you need temporary aid or help getting to a doctor's office.

I am glad to know you wouldn't be intimidated by me.

Oh, Sanada-kun is very nice. He and I just have ... social.. trouble. Believe me, anything he says or does is always out of kindness. He's my best friend and yes, he definitely is like a teddy bear. His hugs are very comforting, as is his presence. I don't think you need to worry about him, he's very formal and loyal and would never treat anyone improperly. I am trying to help him.. actually we are trying to help one another... fit in.. a bit better. So I hope you continue to talk to him, Michimiya-san. He needs more understanding friends.. and you seem to be a very understanding person. I am grateful that he met you.

...I think I'm also grateful I met you. Thank you, Michimiya-san. I appreciate those words.

[michimiyayui]

Not al all. An ass bruise is hardly an injury either even if I had fallen on my butt. I had worse... volleyball can be quite harsh. I am 100% injureless.

Awww bromance! I can help you guys be social... well, not really. I'm really crap at that, believe me. I'm doing fine at one moment and they I blab something really stupid the next and wanna hide. We all fail at something I suppose, but that's not a bad thing.

I'm glad I met you guys too. Lets arm wrestly o_o .. for bonding.

[kanzenkakuritsu]

I am glad then. Mostly because I would not have any idea how to treat an "ass bruise". It sounds painful and awkward.

Ah! I know that feeling! I do it all the time. Well... I say something stupid and then I hide. I think you're just fine too. Perhaps you're like us? It's nice to find other people like this, actually. For some reason we all seem to get along really well with each other but not great with everyone else?

An arm wrestle? For bonding? All right. Should we do it when I come over for food?

[michimiyayui]

Hehe it's more awkward than painful.

Maybe they are the weird ones. I like to think positively. 8)

Yes! It's fun! Okay, we can have an italian night with arm wrestling.

[kanzenkakuritsu]

Think... positively. Huh. I think I can learn a lot from you, Michimiya-san.

All right. An italian night with arm wrestling. I'll wait for your message when you're free.

[michimiyayui]

Yay! Michimiya-sensei, I like the sound of that hehe

[kanzenkakuritsu]

Ah. Then I'll call you that from now on.

[michimiyayui]

8D!! Hehe okay!
