Training Montage!

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

[Haruka's been discharged from the hospital. She's not started taking shifts piloting yet, but she has started doing regular exercise. If you've been by the pool at all, you've seen her doing laps back and forth. She's ran around the entire L-boat a few times already today, so you might have seen that.


There's not too much to do on the L-boat, especially if you're not working as a pilot. Haruka's time has been pretty much completely devoted to working out, eating, and sleeping.

Catch her mid-exercise, or during a break?]

[Haruka stops with the weightlifting for a bit.]

Huh...I kinda hoped you had volunteered...

[and back to working out.]

[aceshighstalker.livejournal.com]

Are you saying that I don't believe in the mission? Of course I do! It's important!

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

No, not at all!

But...there's a big difference between risking your life because someone told you to, and doing it because it's the right thing to do.

[aceshighstalker.livejournal.com]

The Major is more important than I am, regardless.

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

I guess so...

...is something wrong? You're not acting normally...

...well, normal for you anyhow...

[aceshighstalker.livejournal.com]

I am perfectly fine. *glares* I simply wish such a situation hadn't arisen.

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

[Haruka stops with the weightlifting again, this time thinking deeply.]
hm....

Yearning for a distant love while fighting for your life, huh...

...yeah, I can see why you wouldn't like that.

[aceshighstalker.livejournal.com]

You don't know anything! Do you have any idea how serious this is? Either the situation with the Major or the situation with the Festum?

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

[That got Haruka's attention.]

I guess not...

[aceshighstalker.livejournal.com]

I don't want anything to go wrong, and the way it looks now, everything will, this being a suicide mission.

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

Uh huh....and about Sakamoto-san?

[aceshighstalker.livejournal.com]

That is my own personal business, and I've told you not to be so informal.

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

Right, sorry...if you want my help on that front, I'll be happy to give it...

...as for the Festum...I don't think it's that bad. I mean, there's a lot of them, but we're winning so far. And time is on our side.

[aceshighstalker.livejournal.com]

Do you understand what they do?

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

Kill people.

But, we're better at surviving than they are at killing.

[aceshighstalker.livejournal.com]

Not everyone gets by on dumb luck like you.

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

It's not dumb luck.

If I relied only on that, I'd be dead right now.

[aceshighstalker.livejournal.com]

Prove it.

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

Perrine, if I didn't pull that maneuver during re-entry, Ichitaka and I would both be fine paste on the inside of our cockpits.

[aceshighstalker.livejournal.com]

Are you trying to tell me that you have some sort of special skill because you survived?

This is like the one time an exasperated face might be useful

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

[Deep breaths. Stay calm.]

Perrine...Impacts at those speeds would kill anyone. I slowed us down over a longer period of time, saving both of our lives. And in case you didn't notice my stay in the hospital, it was not easy.

[aceshighstalker.livejournal.com]

...hmph.

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

[Phew. That's a relief...]

Look, we just have to hold out longer than the Festum. Keep up the good work, and don't lose hope.

[aceshighstalker.livejournal.com]

They'll destroy your mind if you let them.

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

Then we just can't give them that chance, can we?
