❀ 9th Weed in the Garden - Voice/Action ❀

[shamelessness]

[The victory against Masaomi, the hard training from Green, and Green's question about power... It's got her thinking. Is she powerful? Is she catching up? Is the day she can fight side-by-side with her impressive friends close? She doesn't want to be a burden. She wants to be strong. She wants to help.]

Luceti? I want to know what you think makes you strong. How does a person get strong? Or what do you do to make yourself strong?

[If one-on-one is more your sort, anybody can find Shiemi outside of the clothing shop trying to wrap a scarf around her 7ft+ metal bird. It can't be easy facing winter weather when you're metal. Especially when facing it after a nice heat wave.]

[shamelessness]

No? Just because everyone can have it doesn't mean people don't have to work for it.

[People like Rin and Yukio seem born with strength, but she now knows they had to work for it in their own way. Everyone's path to strength, she's learning, is different.]

[shamelessness]

[Behind Shiemi the bird has it's feathers ruffled. She's definitely on edge from those threats. How dare he make assumptions about her without even knowing her. The one thing that keeps her back is the small blonde between them. Her trainer. She trusts Shiemi to handle this.

The girl nods, her serious expression softening to a more curious one. Shiemi nods.] That was me.

[shamelessness]

They have! I'm learning a lot.

voice;

[shamelessness]

Right! I gotta try everything I can!

[Voice]

[shamelessness]

Wouldn't it be best if I knew which kind of strength fit best for me?

[voice]

[shamelessness]

[She makes a thoughtful noise as she tries to digest what he's saying. Shiemi doesn't really know what to say to that as she tries to relate that kind of situation to her own experiences. Does it really fit? She's not sure.]

[shamelessness]

Maybe not... But there's always other things!

[shamelessness]

I think it looks nice, and maybe it'll help keep away the cold.

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

You won't be able to find one that "fits best for you". Your strength is yours alone, even in a place like this with so many people gathered the most you can find is something similar, and even then it will be too different to make it yours.

You don't need anyone to teach you something that you just have to realize about. If you have it in you to be strong you will get it by yourself, the most anyone can do is showing you where the path starts assuming you're not on it already.

[shamelessness]

It was a tough battle, but I was really surprised when it was over! Skarmy worked really hard, and she did so well.

[shamelessness]

Skarmy was so great! You should have seen her! She was really strong, and never gave up. She's a really good partner, you know? I'm really impressed.

[Her voice is warm, and gleeful. One can almost hear her smile through her voice. If a person could speak and feel like a warm sunny day with a bright blue sky, it would be like this.]

voice;

[shamelessness]

We could take you flying, or we could cut wood, or make it a sunny day-

[This might be a while, stop her now.]

[Voice]

[shamelessness]

"Shifty-guys"?

[misterbrief]

Well then. [He's glancing up at Shiemi's Pokémon every now and again, noticing the bird's irritation- though he cares not, nor understands that it's mad at him. But best to keep tabs.]

If you really want to know- [He eyes her up and down-] you might want to start at the gym. Your bird there might not always be around to protect you.

[Voice]

[castbytheglyph]

Yeah, you know, the guys with pointy teeth that stop artes by just standing there, those guys. I've only heard about 'em, but they sound totally creepy, way creepier than the droids.

voice;

[hueless]

.... Exorcist cram school? What's that?

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

That's right. Why fight if you don't have something you're fighting for? A person, some goal, even just for yourself...

[voice]

[generalflirt]

Mmmm. Some people are blessed with more from the onset though. Plus, I'm not saying they don't work, just that there's an abnormally large number of people who knew how to work here... Maaah, but fair enough.

[rashness]

Huh, is she not good with cold?

voice;

[ex_tessen852]

Wait. How can it do all that? [Mainly make it a sunny day.]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I don't know. I just know that I didn't think I could be strong until I did. I'd never really had a reason to think about it before.

[silversnowfall]

That's good to hear. I hope you have found at least a few things to agree with.

[etudes]

Ah, I know that. Of course there's other things I can do.. like playing the violin. I really, really love to do that.

[Voice]

[shamelessness]

What did you want to protect?

[Voice]

[shamelessness]

Fighting for yourself is okay? That's not bad, or too selfish?
