...Ah... Miss Raine, or Genis... or anybody, really... I guess I will need help with reading again. I've been trying to practice, but I remember that braille stuff better than regular writing. It's really weird.

The writing here is different from the symbols Ron and Yoko showed me on our world, too. Is it the same for everyone else? Does your world have a special way of reading and writing, or a language? I just think it's funny how everyone can understand each other here...

I mean, it's good that we can, but... it's weird, right?





.....um... Miss Aerith? Did something happen with you and Papa?

All right! When it stops rainin' we're gonna start trainin'!

[IS HE LISTENING? ...NOPE.]

[VOICE]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[And Simon realizes this and the alarm bells are riiiiinging.]

T... training? What do you mean?

[VOICE]

[smashthrureason.livejournal.com]

Gotta get ya back inta shape!

Laps around the town! Push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, swimmin' across the river a few times, maybe even trek up to the mountains and work out there!

[RUN SIMON. RUN.]

[VOICE]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I-isn't that a bit much!?

[Wryyyyyyy Kamina, you evil slavedriver.]

[VOICE]

[smashthrureason.livejournal.com]

Course it ain't! Yer gettin' it easy.

[IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD SIMON YOU'LL THANK HIM LATER WHEN YOU'RE ALL BIG AND STRONG AND STUFF IN THE FUTURE.]

[VOICE]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

But we fight with the Ganmen! Why do we need that kind of training?

[He's not that forward thinking :| And he's perfectly happy with being short and scrawny.]

[VOICE]

[smashthrureason.livejournal.com]

We don't have the Ganmen here, and we don't need 'em! We can just use our FISTS!

Gotta prepare for whatever those Malnosso throw at us and use what we got!

[SHORT AND SCRAWNY DOES NOT MAKE A MAN :|]

[VOICE]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

But... the Malnosso are outside the barrier, so we can't fight them.

[Simon cannot fathom punching someone as epically as Kamina does D|]

[VOICE]

[smashthrureason.livejournal.com]

Can't fight 'em now. But we will. And who knows what might happen? They can't stay hidin' forever and they ain't gonna keep us cooped up in here forever either.

[HE WILL ONE DAY. ONE DAY. SO EARLIER WE START, THE SOONER HE CAN /O/]

C'mon Simon, don't tell me yer givin' up already!

[VOICE]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[He knows better than to say yes to that.]

O-of course not! It's just that I don't know how to fight...!

[VOICE]

[smashthrureason.livejournal.com]

[GOOD ANSWER.]

That's why ya gotta train! Ain't gonna get anywhere otherwise! If ya don't know how, just learn it!

[VOICE]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

...Can't we start slowly and work our way up...?

[And then he wonders why he even bothered to ask, because nothing about Kamina is gentle or slow-going.]

[VOICE]

[smashthrureason.livejournal.com]

T'ch, fine. We'll do five laps in the mornin' and then do a set of thirty for each exercise.

But then we're headin' up ta the mountain so we can get some real trainin' done.

[VOICE]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[What's this, COMPROMISE? IT'S A MIRACLE. Simon will take any concession without hesitation.]

O... okay! I'll do it, aniki!

[VOICE]

[smashthrureason.livejournal.com]

[DON'T GET USED TO SIMON. ALSO WOULD SIMON LIKE TO TRY A HAND AT PICKING UP CHICKS VIA PLAYING VOLLEYBALL OVER THAR WITH MINAKO AND PROBABLY MAKOTO AND IDK IF ANYONE ELSE WILL JOIN?]

All right! Toomorrow mornin' at DAWN!

[VOICE]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[HE=HE WILL TRY. AND MAYBE. HE MIGHT DIE OF SOME HORRIBLE NOSEBLEED AT BEACH BABES THOUGH.]

...D-dawn!? Does it have to be dawn!?

[VOICE]

[smashthrureason.livejournal.com]

[WE DON'T DO TRY, SIMON, YOU KNOW THIS! DO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.]

Course it does! Ain't no better time ta do it!

[VOICE]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Oh, right. WHOOPS.]

That's too early...

[VOICE]

[smashthrureason.livejournal.com]

A man's soul is like the fire of the sun, and ya gotta rise with it, Simon!

Seize the day before it's even begun!

[VOICE]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Well, they did get up awfully early in Jiha...]

...I guess it might be nice to see the sunrise.

[VOICE]

[smashthrureason.livejournal.com]

It ain't just 'nice', Simon.

Ya ever seen the sun rise from the top of a buildin' or a tree? Ya can just reach out and almost grab it with yer hand!

Ain't gonna get anywhere if ya just sit around and let the day go by, Simon!

[VOICE]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Simon has to ponder this for a moment. Kamina's never disappointed him before - scared him half to death, yes, but never disappointed. And they're partners, right?]

...Tomorrow morning, then.

[VOICE]

[smashthrureason.livejournal.com]

[ATTA BOY SIMON!]

Better be awake or I'll come and drag ya out myself!

[VOICE]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[:|b]

I-I'll be awake! I'll get Tammy to wake me up, she always gets up early...

[VOICE]

[smashthrureason.livejournal.com]

I'll be waitin' for ya!
