01 𐌖 video;
[The video flickers on, showing nothing but a darkened room before the camera adjusts to reveal the surroundings of a bottom bunk and a short haired teenager sitting on the edge. She remains silent for a few minutes, not moving and breathing-- a quiet, steady rhythm. Eventually she reaches over and pulls the tablet a little closer so her voice will be heard.]
I want to learn to fight. [Anyone who's encountered her so far should be familiar with her cheerful and upbeat attitude. Her current tone is possibly the farthest from that it could be. Cold, distant and perhaps unemotional. Or it could be well contained anger. It's hard to tell.]
My weapon is a knife I brought from home. I want to know how to use it better. Punches and kicks, too. Anything... Anything to help.
[There's a long pause before she adds in a quieter tone.] Please.

[ It's kind of a funny way of putting it, but she doesn't look like she's in a good mood right now (for good reason) so he's not going to point that out. ]
video?????????
I want to be able to take care of myself and eventually help others, too.

I can't promise I'll be the best teacher since I've never actually tried teaching combat before, but any time you want to I'd be willing to try.
no subject
Thank you. My name's Wako.

[ Hesitating, wondering if it's okay to keep to typical pleasant greetings at a time like this. ]
It's nice to meet you, Wako.
no subject
Thank you.
no subject
[ Since it's not like he's actually helped her in any way at this point. ]
no subject
I mean thank you for thinking it's nice to meet me, even though I'm all mopey right now.
no subject
Of course. I think we're all feeling at least a little mopey right now.

Yo.
You need fighting practice, I can give you a hand! Been a while since I worked with knives, but I know what I'm doin'. What's it look like?
video;
Someone special gave it to me.
no subject
Ah! I know the kind. We're in business. [He leans sideways and pulls his own weapon--a small red dinosaur robot--into his lap.] Somebody important gave me mine, too. We're in the same boat.
[The t-rex roars, voice small.] So, VR room, this week?

[He would have said something about asking Coby for training lessons, but his version of training was not for novices at all.]

It looks like you've gotten yourself quite a few offers. Just try not to get in over your head.

The latter.

you're no use to anyone if you wind up hurting or exhausting yourself.
[he might be worried about her, but he might just be worried about some of the offers to help]

Richter knows that useless feeling]there's a mix of people here, not all of them fighters. there might something else you can do to help that doesn't necessarily involve being in the front lines.
