❀ 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.]

[misterbrief]

Well the answer is simple. No more of that television nonsense and more of you getting over to the Battle Dome. You do know how to use it, right?

[shamelessness]

[Television? She wonders what he means. She really hasn't watched television herself.]

I do! I use it all the time.

[misterbrief]

Good! Now then. Why don't the two of you go down there right now and start on some programs for you instead of your pet there? [Sorry Sheimi- that's all he can think about is training!]

And bird, if you can understand this, you need to hold her to it, got it? [For a split second he's positive he's just lost his mind. Talking to a giant heap of metal. What in the cosmos was wrong with him?]

[shamelessness]

[The bird hears Vegeta, but doesn't particularly like him. She'll give him a look, but won't make any helpful gesture to notify him that she has heard him.]

So you think... training my own body will help me... [Where would she even start.]

[misterbrief]

Of course it will! Don't be ridiculous. [He peers at her while he goes right back to ignoring Skarmy.] Do you even know where to start then?

[shamelessness]

No... I've never done that kind of thing for myself. Do I need a trainer to help me?

[Does she need to apprentice or something? Bro, she doesn't even lift.]

[misterbrief]

You don't need one no- [He twitches a few times in frustration. How did anyone not know, honestly?]

You know how to do a push-up and a sit-up, yes? [Do not tell him she has no idea what these things are!]

[shamelessness]

I've seen people do those!

[Doing one properly herself might... be a challenge, though.]

[misterbrief]

Seen?! What do you mean you've seen it? Don't they teach you these things in your Earth schools?

[If he had a notebook, the box marked "hopeless" would have been immediately checked off.]

That needs to change, right now! Gah! You don't even need to go to the Battle Dome to do at least that much!

[shamelessness]

W-well I've been home schooled since I was little, sir!

[misterbrief]

I see the wonderful job they did then. [Not even hiding the sarcasm.] And don't call me sir!

[shamelessness]

Then what should I call you?

[misterbrief]

[He growls, but he'll tell her.]

Vegeta, and if you need to be formal, you may call me Prince Vegeta. [He gets all huffy and proud after saying his title out loud.]

[shamelessness]

A-ah, I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were a prince!

[misterbrief]

Of course you didn't. And who are you since we're sharing?

[shamelessness]

Sh-Sh-Shiemi Moriyama! Pokemon Trainer and Demon Exorcist in training!

[misterbrief]

A demon exorcist huh? Do you chase away the boogieman at night then?

[shamelessness]

Ah... it's not like that. I'm training to become a Tamer, so I summon demons to subdue other demons.

[misterbrief]

You what?! [Wooooah that's kind of incredible. It made a little more sense now, with that giant hunk of metal looming over the two of them.]

As in demons from Hell? Hopefully it's not like the ones from the Hell in my world, they wouldn't do you any good due to how stupid they are. [They're ogres. They're pretty useless.]

[shamelessness]

I've only been able to summon a Greenman so far, but he can do lots of things! My friend Kamiki has two Fox Spirits. They all come from Gehenna, which is also known as Hell, I think.

[misterbrief]

[You've piqued his interest, Shiemi.] Are you still able to do that here, in Luceti? [He's not even going to guess at what any of those demons are. He's given up on trying to understand the specifics of that sort of thing unless it directly effects him.]

[shamelessness]

[Her posture drops, and she shakes her head.]

Summoning doesn't work in Luceti. We've tried. [Multiple times. Almost a month she tried bringing her familiar to life with seals marked with blood.]

[misterbrief]

Sounds like that's probably for the best. [He's not so sure if he wants to deal with that kind of trouble in such a small space.] And it seems to me that you've got yourself quite the handful already.

[His thumb jerks up to Skarmy, whom of which he gives a nice glare.]

[shamelessness]

[Skarmy's eyes narrow, but Shiemi simply nods.]

Thank you for the advice. I'll definitely put it to use.
