Seventh Punch

[For tonight's entertainment Maoh will be attempting to use Kanji's gear as a surf board! He toddles his way on over to the pool but before he's able to use the device as a floaty he slips on a tiny puddle and falls in instead. Unfortunately, as the gear is on the ground all the viewers can see is the sky above. Though-- if you listen carefully you can hear the Pichu's small, yet frantic splashing. However, as time goes on the splashing noises start to decrease.

A couple of minutes pass as a dark blur zooms by the gear and a big splash is heard a few seconds after. Up pops on the screen is a very wet, very out of breath, very disgruntled looking Kanji.]

D-Dammit Maoh. I--I told you to stay away from the pool.

[The small Pichu he has in his lap looks a bit lifeless. Though it may look bleak, Maoh is breathing. He pushes his damp bangs out of his face.]

S-Shit... I hope it's... not to late. I don't... I don't even know what to do. [by this point it looks like he's going to have a panic attack.] Those.... those c-centers would help, right? Shit why did this have to happen!?

Most of it is, though some of it's totally overrated. And my favorite place is still Hagakure in Tatsumi Port Island, even if I didn't get to eat there all that much!

[ she smiles a little sheepishly. ] Actually, yeah. There was a girl who wrote me all the time, who also used to get bullied. She said that Risette made her want to keep trying, and she's doing much better these days.

[He sighs as he slumps back into his chair.] Maaaan, that still sounds good though. Which restaurants were overrated though? What food did they serve?

[He raises his brows.] Oh? Well, that's good. I guess. Sucks that she got bullied. But at least she was able to turn to someone for help and was able to get an honest answer back. None of that stupid bull most famous people write to their fans. Try harder or some shit like that. Pssh, try harder my ass.

There was one in Tokyo that did the really fancy sushi, but it wasn't that great... it just looked pretty. [ with a despondent sigh, though she raises an eyebrow at him. ]

Did you ever write to someone famous, Kanji?

Really? That's ridiculous. Sushi's supposed to look and taste good! [deterring from his food talk he looks up and shakes his head.]

Nah, I heard a couple of people talk about it when I was younger though. Kids would ask for advice, shit like that-- and they kept getting back the same thing. Their answers were pretty generic though.

Yeah... with all the mail celebrities get, they usually just sign a form letter and send that.

Did you ever do that to some of your fans? Or did you read all of 'em?

... [ sheepish ] I read 'em all. It's on my own time, though, so I usually do it before bed.

And that's somethin' else that separates you from one of those bimbos.

I like being unique!

[He shakes his head and smiles as he rests his feet against the table.]

S' your turn.

[ and she nods in return, slowly moving her legs back and forth. ]

... Why'd you decide to bleach your hair? I mean, I can't see you doing that as a little kid...

[He opens his mouth but closes it and remains silent for a couple of minutes.]

'cause I thought it'd help me on my path to become a real man. But it's not what's on the outside, it's what's on the inside. Before my old man died, he told me that he wanted me to be one. A real man, that is.

A real man...?

... So you figured it had to be acting tough, huh?

Yeah. Acting and lookin' tough.

Oh, Kanji...

[ it's affectionate, though. ]

What?

We were kinda dumb, weren't we?

[he stares at her for a minute before snickering.]

Heh, yeah. Kinda, in our own way. But we have reasons for doin' the things we did. So it's what makes us who we are.

Right! We're dummies with good intentions who got smarter!

[ and she says that in the same manner as someone would proudly list their greatest skills and attributes. Probably because Rise doesn't see herself or any of her teammates as idiots.

Most of the time.

Teddie is questionable. ]

[and like a true champ, he'll raise his fist for that. teddie is always questionable. ~~because that jerk won't let him touch his fur!!! (cry)~~] What's that thing they always say? About time? Damn... I know it's not time heals all...

All good things in time? That doesn't sound right either...

[He looks to the side and rubs his head in thought.] Hm... Man. Maybe I just made it up, but I coulda sworn that there was a saying that involved time.

Maybe we need Naoto or Senpai for this. I'm not that great at sayings...

[he rubs his chin.] Yeah--they're smarter at this than we are.

It's okay! If we put our heads together, we can figure it out!!
