Um... I want to ask anybody who knows how to fight...

How do you pick a weapon? I mean... how do you know what suits you best? Do you try them until you figure it out, or do you let someone pick for you? And what if you-

...nevermind...


[Simon's going to be chilling out around the stairs at the entrance of community building 7, a sheathed sword tucked against his shoulder, holding an unsealed envelope and gazing at either it or the snow. He's bundled up for the cold, at least, but he doesn't seem bothered by it for once.

Every now and then he'll pull out the letter inside the envelope, read it, and cup his hands around the Core Drill at his neck, focused and intense. Nothing seems to happen though, so he'll quickly give up and go back to whatever he was doing before. As always, Boota is with him, though he's probably buried in the snow by the stairs or wandering around a bit.

Bother him?]

[Hi Simon, guess who's passing by today? Anise is still on Tokunaga, looking for Ion, but she decides to take a break and pass by Simon's place for now.]

Simon? What're you doing out in the cold?

[You're going to make yourself sick, being out in the cold so much :| She catches him off guard, though, so he jumps, quickly clenching his hands into fists and hiding them, embarrassed by whatever he was trying to do.]

Oh, um... I was just thinking, that's all.

[What was he trying to do? Anise peers closer, since she definitely saw him hiding his hands away.]

Ohh? Out here? And what'cha got there? [is it a present]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Ah... [Now he's even more embarrassed, drawing his hands back in front of himself- after a quick check to make sure there's nothing there.] N-nothing... doing worry about it.

Doesn't look like nothing...~ Come on, it can't be that bad! [- peering over his shoulder! Which doesn't accomplish much, because he's got an inch or two over her, so.]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I-it's nothing bad! [...Hey, he is taller than someone. ACCOMPLISHMENT, HELL YEAH. Though that doesn't solve the problem of her asking about it.

Rrrm... maybe her seeing it wouldn't be so ba- BUT WAIT IT'S SO EMBARRASSING NOOOO]

[Aw, is he blushing? Geez, Simon, you're making this too easy.]

Well, if it's nothing bad then it's all right for me to look, right~?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

W-well... I don't know if... [He unclenches his fists carefully to show that they're empty. Not sure if he feels relieved or disappointed, though.] ...I don't think I can do it.

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

[What. Anise frowns the slightest bit.]

Ohhh, why not? I can keep a secret! And I promise I won't laugh, if that's what you're worried about.

No, I... [Urrrgh, looks like he really does have to explain. Sigh. He reaches into his coat and tugs out his drill, holding it in his palm.] When I was bigger, during the last experiment, I wrote myself a letter. It said that I have a special power... and that Kamina's right, the drill is my soul. If I can learn to use that power, maybe I could really learn to fight, and help people. Usually the drill only glows when I use Lagann, though... and he's not here.
