[Simon's feeling kind of down on his luck today; Denzel's gone, Cloud's still with Tifa, and Anise's kidnapping is sort of the icing on the cake. He's hanging out by the southern river closest to the shop plaza, attempting to skip stones.

Someone come cheer the kid up?]

[S-so embarrassing.]

[icolo-alkaid.livejournal.com]

[Aaaaand she can't resist any more, you get a hug.]

Gah, you're such a cute kid! Makes me wish I had a little brother.

[sajkhkjfd FLAIL]

Y-you could find a soul brother, maybe...?

[icolo-alkaid.livejournal.com]

[She is lolin'. She lets go and puts her hands on her hips, grinning.]

Soul brother, huh? Sounds manly! I like that!

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

It's really manly!

[icolo-alkaid.livejournal.com]

I like that! Girly things aren't as fun.

[Here have a good slap on the back. SHE WILL BE THE MANLIEST SEXY LADY YOU'LL EVER MEET.]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Right!

[OH MY GOD SHE'S LIKE KAMINA WITH BOOBS. Simon approves!]

[icolo-alkaid.livejournal.com]

[More like god picked up Kamina and Yoko and SMASHED THEM TOGETHER IN AN EPIC DISPLAY, EXPLODING IN AWESOME AND CREATING THE CUTE SPUNKINESS THAT IS ALKAID. Speaking of cute, she laughs cheerfully.]

So, Simon, you just thinking out here, or are you up to something~?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[It is an amazing sight to behold. especially the boobs]

Just thinking. I hate feeling helpless, so I wanted to distract myself.

[icolo-alkaid.livejournal.com]

Ah, I get that, too. I usually fill that void with training. I can't believe they have dual swords here, much less mine. Makes coping with all this new stuff a lot easier.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

You fight using swords? [Doubletake.] Two swords?

[icolo-alkaid.livejournal.com]

[She pulls out her swords, 'Twin Honeysuckle', and shows him.]

Yup. Not big on massive amounts of damage, but if you use 'm right, you can rack up huge combos and if you're fast enough, you can keep the enemy from attacking at all.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

That's amazing! I can't fight at all without Lagann...

[icolo-alkaid.livejournal.com]

Hmm? What's Lagann?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Lagann is my mecha!

[icolo-alkaid.livejournal.com]

Oh, awesome, so you come a world with real Mecha!

Aaaah, I'm so jealous! Mecha's just a cartoon in my world... nobody's been able to build any giant robots. The most we have is a robot that does chores.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Cartoon? What's that?

[icolo-alkaid.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, it's just a drawing that moves. It's like having a book read to you, with images that move.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

A drawing that moves? I didn't know that kind of thing existed!

[icolo-alkaid.livejournal.com]

[Alkaid paused for a minute, thinking.]

Hmm. Do you have a stack of paper? Even just little pieces of paper. I can show you how it works.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I guess we could rip a page out of the journal... [He goes back to the grass and tears a sheet out, offering it to her.]

[icolo-alkaid.livejournal.com]

[She laughs, kneeling down next to him.]

Well, I need a bunch of paper to do it. Can I just use the corner of your journal instead?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Um, okay. [Here you go, then. Have a journal.]

[icolo-alkaid.livejournal.com]

[She does a simple doodle of a ball. Next page, same ball, but a little to the right. She takes up a few pages, careful to keep it small.

After a few minutes, she smiles at Simon, and flips the pages, making the little 'animation' of the ball bouncing move.]

That's how cartoons work! You draw them panel by panel, then flash them so it looks like they're moving.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

...Wow... it's so easy, but it works really well! [He's never seen anything like it, really.]
