[Written] Second Stitch ℵ

[sewdamncute]

So, what's there to do around here? I've run through all the tiny projects I brought along with me. There's no school, no real selection of goods at the stores anymore, and I'm going insane.

Anyone have any suggestions?

[Surprisingly polite for Kanji, right?]

Haven't found much beyond working at the farm or stables or fishing. Out of books to read too unless anyone wants to do a book swap.

[Text]

[sewdamncute]

Yeah, I'm not much into any of that. Got anything else?

[Text]

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

What kind of things do you like doing? It might be easier finding something to do in that direction.

Young man!! You should train with me!

[sewdamncute]

[Oh, it's Lee. Kanji's kinda amused that he responded.]

Train? Train what?

[niceguypose]

Your body! Your mind! Your very heart!

Help us figure out how to even build a new Battle Dome. Or something like it anyhow.

Written;

[sewdamncute]

I've never built anything before. I'm not even sure how to go about trying to make something as complicated as the Battle Dome was.

Written;

[tsundroid]

Trust me, it's not going to be anywhere near as complicated. I don't have the patience.

[voice. writing what is that nonsense]

[friendshipfirst]

Uhh, I dunno. We were kinda wondering that ourselves. I mean, we've been helping out a lot but there's gotta be other things to do 'round here right?

[ There's a 'Pikachu' that comes after Ash's voices as the electric mouse agrees. ]

What kinda projects were ya doing before you ran through 'em all?

[voice; Writing is that thing you don't do, Ash]

[sewdamncute]

That's what I was thinkin'. Can't just sit here and be okay with that.

[He stares at the little picture thing in the journal of the boy and spots the yellow rodent thing.]

The hell is that thing on your shoulder? Is it another one of those Pocket Pet things?

[voice; so true why write when you can talk]

[friendshipfirst]

Yeah. I don't wanna just sit 'round and wait for something to happen.

[ When has that ever been a good thing to do? ]

Huh? Oh, it's my best buddy, Pikachu! I dunno what a Pocket Pet is, but Pikachu is a Pokemon.

[ Pikachu responds with a 'Pika' once more. ]

Are there not any projects you can think of with the supplies that are here in the past?

[written]

[sewdamncute]

That's not the problem. I can make clothes pretty easily with the materials here, sure. But the supplies are all rudimentary and even with making the dyes from what I know are traditional ways, I can only do so much.

[Look, he's had to learn the old ways too, but damn is it boring and not worth it in the long run.]

[written]

[ofnobleheart]

Still, do you not believe that even a little have gone a long way? And little more could be moreso.

You could always work in the fields or help my friend spar. He's getting a bit stir-crazy himself.

[sewdamncute]

I'm no farmer. And what's the deal with everyone here wanting to fight all the time? I got that reputation back home, but it's not that fulfilling. Honestly.

[That's because you're a street brawler, Kanji. It's boring like that.]

When you're of the samurai class and from a period of civil unrest, there isn't much one can do about needing to fight. "Want" is entirely different.

I don't suppose you have the heart to mind killing and eating small, cute animals, huh?

[Text]

[sewdamncute]

Uh...not really, but since food's pretty scarce, beggars can't be choosy, can they?

[Text]

[theideaguy]

No, we really don't. Not that I would have it any other way; they are still pretty tasty. I'm sure the village could always use an extra hunter or two. You know, for those just-in-case moments.

[risingwinds]

I guess exploring's outta the question, too. This enclosure's way smaller than I remember.

Kinda sucks. I'm used to being in a small space, but you'd think that if we were all gonna go on this big time traveling adventure, we'd have some kinda bigger objective. Right now, it feels like we're sitting ducks.

[sewdamncute]

Yeah, it's definitely smaller and there's less to do than before. I mean, my home town's pretty small, in comparison with the big cities that are only a train ride away, but this is ridiculous.

And I agree with you on the sitting ducks feeling. Just what do these Malnosso jerks have planned that required us to go back in the past with nothing more than the clothes on our backs?

[wipesfaith]

Reminds me of home, with how dull this place is. [His hometown before everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked the titans gatecrashed, anyway. The difference now is that he's waiting not to flee responsibility, but to help when he's needed.]

I've been doing a whole lot of work but there isn't much of anything exciting to do for some relaxation.

[written]

[sewdamncute]

Eh, my home town was pretty lame before Senpai showed up and those murders started, but honestly, there was more to do there than back here. This is just strange with how boring it is.

I'm just looking for something to occupy most of my time. Lee's just offered to teach me how to fight for real. Should I be worried?
