*Yurika appears on the deck of the ship with streamers and balloons. She's wearing a big, green, fuzzy frog suit and a party hat. There is cake.

What is going on?*

Everyone~! I know we've all been depressed because of our recent losses, but today, the White Chalice's forces have managed to win! You know what I think? We don't celebrate winning enough! So I've had a massive party put together -- or at least the best I could get on short notice! ♥ Come on! We have games and balloons and a dance floor~!

*...and indeed, all those things are there.*

If you have a problem, bring it up with someone, don't just sulk. Even the captain here might be someone to talk to about it.

Personally, though, I still disagree with you. Guylos was clearly intending to attack regardless of what we did or didn't do.

Can anyone use it, or is it Employees Only?

[thestrayhawk.livejournal.com]

Calvina did you not pay attention to what happened there. The Blitz team was already standing down before any of us went out there.

Guylos only attacked because they got attacked by the other team. They didn't try to start any hostility with us until the others decided to attack the Raptors instead.

We can't try to justify our actions just by saying "They would have attacked us anyways."

Everything, besides for that dinosaur with the beam cannon that showed up everything else could have been handled much better.

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Uh... okay! Be sure to come back for cake!

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

Can't you all just calm down? I came because I wondered why you weren't at the party! And here you are, being a downer about everything! We've just had our first victory in a long time, you know.

[haetfunerals.livejournal.com]

I can let you~ What did you need?

[leftjoker.livejournal.com]

[Where did he get that suitcase full of dirty-but fashionable-clothes?]

This?

[pheasantshanker.livejournal.com]

I don't disagree. But weren't you the one that decided to work with these people regardless of their methods?

[thestrayhawk.livejournal.com]

This isn't about their method.

[Ah he's snapping.]

The reason why this is bothering me because I work with them.

[2hell-weride.livejournal.com]

"Mine were always kinda busy designing mecha for TECZ. They were there but... yanno... kinda not? Twelve hours of work and eight of sleep doesn't make for a lot of family time."

He doesn't look the least bit perturbed by this.

"So I got to helping them with robots instead."

[aceshighmach]

"I can understand that. Ma and Pa were farmers. Though I was always interested in vehicles and speed." admitted Shirley, spinning him.

[pheasantshanker.livejournal.com]

[Yuu goes quiet for a while.]

Then, the important question is: what do you intend to do about this?

If you plan to stay here, you can't remain like this forever.

[2hell-weride.livejournal.com]

"Oh... hey so... when am I gonna have to meet them and all?" It'd have to happen eventually, right?

"Hey, at least you'd know a little something about tractors and stuff, right? Slow as fuck as they are, they used em' right?"

[aceshighmach]

"Probably sometime. They're working the farm last I heard."

She nodded. "Yeah, we use tractors. They have to be slow, because we pull heavy equipment. Too fast and we get bad harvests or bad tilling of the soil."

[thestrayhawk.livejournal.com]

I really don't know either, but at the very least I think I'm allowed to be in a bad mood from time to time.

[There's a small grin back on his face.]

[2hell-weride.livejournal.com]

"Well... I guess... It probably wouldn't do any good for have a fast tractor unless you were... I unno... racing them or something."

At least he was still dancing while making all this goofy conversation.

[pheasantshanker.livejournal.com]

[Yuu's actually thinking about this a bit, since he realizes how serious the problem might get as well.]

Have you tried talking to any of the authority figures around? Since these concerns of yours are legitimate, maybe they'll listen.

[subject-0057.livejournal.com]

[Allelujah waves his goodbye, trying to seem as inconspicuous as possible without seeming suspicious.]

Alright, thank you!

[aceshighmach]

"Heh, I wish I could, but it's dead boring. I like going fast after all."

[2hell-weride.livejournal.com]

"What, racin tractors? Can't we just rig em up and... MAKE them haul ass?

Sounds like something we could both get behind, yeah?"

[thestrayhawk.livejournal.com]

So you're not going to acknowledge anything I try to say and instead just call me a downer.

I don't feel like we should be celebrating anything, that's all I will say since apparently no one cares about this at all besides me.

[Of course there were other things as well but he couldn't talk to anyone else about them. He quickly left, wanting to just isolate himself for a bit.]

[thestrayhawk.livejournal.com]

These are the same people that decided that working with the Black Knights would be in our best interest. Somehow I don't think they'll really care.

[pheasantshanker.livejournal.com]

This group's situation is bound to get much more complicated in the future...

[At this point, Yuu notices that Ichitaka really does care that much about his new friends, but he also understands the problem faced by his brother some extent. Ichitaka's point was valid, to him at least.]

So I'll stay...at least until you've sorted this out.

[aceshighmach]

"Could be at that. I've never tried making a tractor go fast to be honest. But it does sound like fun."
