[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?]

Family owns a textile shop back home, so I guess that's true to an extent.

I will do this on any day of the week! You can decide!

[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. ]

[I don't think he's ever going to be ready for you, Lee. Not really.]

Can we do this tomorrow then? Also, I, um, don't have any formal training in fighting. I'm not a ninja like you are.

[voice; Because Kanji sounds smarter in writing]

[sewdamncute]

Sittin' and waitin' is something I don't do very well. It's pretty lame, honestly.

[Never. He was one of the few people who joined together to find a killer. Because cops are dumb. And sometimes corrupt.]

Pokémon again? [Ugh. Please let's not get into another fight over this.] They're called Pocket Pets where I'm from. It's different from what everyone else knows though. I dunno why it's different. What's your...Pikachu do?

I thought that might be the case. But it is never too late to start! Tomorrow should be a beautiful day!

[sewdamncute]

Yeah, I guess so. Early morning okay for you? I don't really sleep in.

[Written]

[niceguypose]

Early morning?! That is the best and most youthful time!!! I'll gladly meet you then!!

[Written]

[sewdamncute]

Alright, I'll see you then. Better than doing nothing.

[Written]

[niceguypose]

Anything is better than doing nothing! I will see you then!

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

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.

[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]

Samurai? You're from Japan?

[Down boy. Down. He's not even worried about the differences in time. He will gladly start asking you all sorts of questions. What did you just do, Souji?]

Are you one of the Shinsengumi?

[sewdamncute]

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

[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?

Are you usually this much of a worrywart?

[risingwinds]

Yeah, and there's not even a battle dome to mess around in. It's just weird being without all that technology! You spend a few years here, and you forget that it wasn't always this way.

I dunno, but it's gotta be something big if they'd send us all the way back here. All I can think is that something got a little outta hand. Maybe it's because of those Third Party creeps.

These are pretty valid concerns. Horrible injuries result from amateurs doing stuff they have no business attempting. And since there's some sort of dampening on everyone's powers in this place, I have every right to be worried. Can you heal me if I drop some concrete brick on my foot and smash every bone in it?

[sewdamncute]

Heard a lot of construction projects are being started. Low tech, but better than nothing, I suppose. I got invited by some blond girl with an attitude to help rebuild the battle dome. But, honestly, even most of the stuff in "future Luceti" was kinda old fashioned, and other stuff was light-years ahead of what I was used to back home.

I'm so sick of these stupid Third Party jerks we keep hearing about. I heard that I missed a pretty nasty fight against them a few months ago. I'd say I was sorry about that, but I was home, so....

[And insta-guard comes up because no one asks that directly.]

The Wolves of Mibu? I heard they're terrible people.

[Seriously, Kanji likes to watch stuff about the Shinsengumi on TV with his mom. About the only the he does watch. And read.]

Really? I love to read all the stories of the things that happened during that time. Well, and the programs on television too. I don't think that they're terrible at all.

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.

[This guy is... disturbingly rational and adult about all of this. It makes her feel vaguely awkward somehow, like when she talks to Vegeta during his dad routines.]

I guess you have a point... maybe.

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.
