Hello. I've been told of the dangers of giving my name and picture to a wide network before, please accept my username for now.

There has been a lot happen here, but one thing sticks in my mind in the quieter hours that I would rather it not. I'd like to hear about the experiences people have with leaving others behind. Good or bad. Here, home, or another world. I've tried writing letters. A new notebook since my old one is lost to me. The new one doesn't seem to feel the same way. I've tried late night work outs, jogs, odd jobs in the evening, wandering and what one gentleman called the "night life" which I still don't completely understand. I could go to the same places in the day. All in all, I'm out of ideas.

Hearing any way that you deal with those thoughts constructively is something I'd be thankful for.

Thank you for your time and help in advance.

Hmm. And once you are home! What is your goal?

[heir_conditioned]

Right now my world is in a war, I want to help end it and continue to study to become a hero.

[enbashira]

It would seem this world may be around wars as well...

Thermodynamics-person! Are you an old war hero? Is it safe to ask age?

[heir_conditioned]

It does seem that way and I hope it doesn't come to that. If it does, I can't imagine fighting friends for things I don't believe in.

[This guy is fun to talk to already. Shoto is already having a decent time of it. War talk or not.]

One day I'll be a hero, right now I'm in training still. I'm eighteen as of this last January. Does that count as old?

[enbashira]

What do you believe in? Do you have some kind of code you live by?

( he's quite interested in this, but of course, in typical rengoku fashion--he ends up jumping over it for something else, too... )

Training, is it! Eighteen is a good age!
Not too old at all! Ripe for training!

You should become my apprentice!

rfed4tgyhj lmao

[heir_conditioned]

I want to save people and make them feel safe when I'm around them. Is that what you mean? We have a school booklet that otherwise dictates decorum but I don't have that here and I don't think wearing my uniform is staple for heroism, just representation of my school.

[Oh. Kay. That's odd. Not the age thing, but unseen is Shoto tilting his head curiously.]

An apprentice of what kind? If you need help I'll just help you.

i'm sorry, he's a menace

[enbashira]

Your offer is kind! But I'm not in need of any help.

I would like to help train you! All of my other apprentices back home ran away! But!
I feel like you would be up to the challenge!

We can learn to save people and make them feel safe in this place!

I'm canon blind and he seems totally lovely lmao

[heir_conditioned]

[The apprentices running away doesn't scare him off, in fact, there's a lot of people who quit UA because of how hard it can be.]

Sometimes it isn't easy for people to follow a path. I haven't really told you what I'm training in. But if it follows what I'd like to continue learning, I'll do my best. My abilities are limited here.

oh nice, i'm canonblind too! but shoto seems like a sweetheart ♥

[enbashira]

That's true! We can speak of your previous training when we begin ours!

My abilities are limited here as well...But that may just be inspiration for more practice!

Do you use a weapon, Young Thermodynamics?

This is gonna be fun lol!

[heir_conditioned]

What sort of training do you do?

[Maybe should've asked that.]

I've heard, only in passing, that we can grow into them again. I look forward to training whatever I can to regain my capacity.

I don't have any training in weaponry that isn't my own body. I default to defending until I find weakness or openings, but I was taught how to use throwing knives by a very dear friend.

[enbashira]

Your own body, is it! An interesting development!

I have been trained in swordsmanship and breathing techniques!
Flame Breathing, to be exact!

But there is a lot of other hard work that goes into training before getting to that point!

I have never learned throwing knives... An opportunity!

[heir_conditioned]

[An interesting development indeed.]

I think I'd like to see your fire breathing technique one day. I don't think I could duplicate it, but I think I'd like to see it. Learning anything sword related might also be a plus and I'm willing to put in whatever work it takes.

I'm no master, but I can hit targets with ease. I wish he was here to teach you himself, anyone would be impressed.

[enbashira]

Ou! I'd be happy to show you!

But first, I will need my sword returned to me!

In the meantime, we will practice other techniques. And exercises!

Are you a morning person, young Thermodynamics?

[heir_conditioned]

I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

Yes. I'm used to being up a little late and up early in the morning. I understand hard hours of work. Are you considering we do training in the morning some day?

[enbashira]

Every day should suffice, for now!

( this may be partially why others have run away... )

[heir_conditioned]

Every morning seems alright to start with. As long as it doesn't get in the way of my patrols I'll continue.

[All other people haven't been Shoto.]

[enbashira]

Every morning to start, then!
No interference in patrols for either of us.

Do you have a favorite place in the city? Or outside of it!

[heir_conditioned]

Alright. What time?

The beach. I have a lot of practicing to renew my abilities and sand and water are the best choices.

[enbashira]

The beach! A most pleasant choice!

Shall we agree to six in the morning? Would that suit you, young Thermodynamics?

[heir_conditioned]

The beach at six in the morning. That's fine by me, I'm up early enough for that to work. That works very well for me. I'll see you there.

[enbashira]

It's a date, tsuguko!

[heir_conditioned]

[The rollercoaster of how this is going to be a training date, but also for a successor is going to be on his mind until well after the days pass.]
