Trial 8: Just another Sunday

[pint_sized_carnivore]

[Chie opened the journal and sighed]

Wow... It really hasn't hit me yet, but Adachi-san... He really is gone in Paradisa. I don't know what to think about him, but the last time I talked to him face-to-face was me yelling at him. But after reading his letter, I really think he was willing to change and I feel kinda bad for treating him the way I did.

Urgh, it's so annoying thinking about this!  I should just accept that he's gone. First Yukiko, and then him... 

[She paused for a good few seconds before changing the subject]

Anyway, does anyone have any ideas on what to do? It can be boring here in the castle.

How old are you?

[Yeah, this was weird. Dean doesn't care about any of the other stuff. He doesn't even know any Adachi's but he is concerned about some squirt stuck at the castle losing friends and role models.]

You could go into town. There's plenty of stuff there to keep you busy.

I'm 17 and a half. And I've been there a bunch of times. There's really not a lot to do there too, sadly. It's like I never left Inaba.

Do yourself a favor and ditch the attitude. I'm only trying to help.

[And he's out with Sam so he shouldn't even be doing that.]

Don't whine if you're not willin' to do anything to keep yourself occupied. That's on you.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Fine, sheesh...

You must be one of the new people, I never heard your voice in the journal before.

[mulletrock]

I'm newish. Been here about a month.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Oh. Welcome. I guess. Is the castle treating you ok?

[mulletrock]

It's been decent enough so far. Y'know... for a crazy kidnapping sentient building and everything.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

I never got over how the castle just takes people at random. And how it could choose people.

[mulletrock]

You know if there's a process to this whole thing? Does it have a type?

[pint_sized_carnivore]

I got no clue. All I know is that most residents have powers, or have done something in the past that makes them... not normal?

You said you wanted archery lessons ...

[See, Katniss can reach out too.]

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Yeah! I took some basics Barton-san before, but I didn't get to practice much after that...

[mulletrock]

There's a start.

[Dean's not about to wonder where all these enhanced freaks are coming from.]

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Start of what?

[mulletrock]

Once you figure out this place's organization skills you're get closer to findin' the way out. Or at least I hope. No one wants to be stuck here long term. Even if the pros outweigh the cons.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

No one ever found a way out, though. Many people have tried in the past, and still nothing.

[mulletrock]

Yeah, we'll see about that. Sooner or later someone's gonna break the trend.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

...

Anything I can do to help? I've been here for too long... I just. I just want to go home.

[Chie felt her heart sink when she said that. She's gonna leave a lot of people behind, but she really doesn't belong here. No one does]

[mulletrock]

Sorry, kid. I don't even know what it's gonna take yet.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Oh... Okay.

[whistles_the_blues]

Better question. What exactly do you like to do?

[pint_sized_carnivore]

I like to exercise, watch some kung-fu movies... Nothing I haven't done already.

[whistles_the_blues]

I'm sure you have. You could try to do them with a group though, maybe organize a weekly exercise group, or movie night?

[Since you like to bug people.]

[pint_sized_carnivore]

I could do that. Now wouldn't be a good time, everyone seems to be busy and all.

[whistles_the_blues]

Doesn't have to be right now, it was just an idea.
