004 [video/action for Ecruteak]

Jun 08, 2011 00:33

[Taking advantage of the beautiful day, Yukimura is sitting outside on the grass, his Eevee curled up next to him with her head resting on his leg. He's petting her gently, and he seems distant, quiet - less commanding than he has been before.]When you lose - a Pokemon battle, or anything else that's important to you - do you think that it's fair ( Read more... )

[This is so relevant to his interests, it's not even funny.]

I don't think talking about fairness is going to change anything - yeah, some things aren't fair and some times it doesn't matter how well-prepared you are or how much you want to win... it just wasn't meant to happen. Maybe it's a matter of luck or maybe that's just the way life works, as terrible as it can be.

[video] loseyoursenses June 8 2011, 09:06:16 UTC

No, I guess it doesn't. The world isn't a fair place, after all, but maybe - well, sometimes it's difficult when you realize that's true. We all want to believe deep down that it's different for us, but that's impossible, isn't it?

[video] usedfakestache June 8 2011, 09:12:54 UTC

Well, it's not impossible to believe it but I think in the end it'll only hurt us.

Hard work and experience will always be the most important thing in any... well, battle but there's always going to be days when that's not enough. An inch in the wrong direction, a minute too late, one card short of a full house... the distance between winning and losing really can be paper thin.

You seem to know what you're talking about. I suppose I just have a hard time losing... I've never been the type who likes it, and when something important is at stake, it's even more difficult. How do you deal with that?

[video] usedfakestache June 9 2011, 08:00:45 UTC

You and me both, buddy. Losing is one of my least favorite things to do.

["You don't" is what he'd like to say but that's just too depressing.]

...you move on. You promise yourself that next time will be different or that there won't be a next time and when that time comes you push yourself harder. You'll still lose from time to time but hopefully it'll be less and less frequent.

[video] loseyoursenses June 10 2011, 02:18:05 UTC

I'm not used to losing at all, I have to admit. [He laughs quietly and shakes his head.] But I think you're right, and you probably know more about those kinds of things than I do. Although now that I'm here, I suppose I don't need to worry about it as much. Losing a Pokemon battle wouldn't be as difficult, I think.

[video] usedfakestache June 10 2011, 07:47:59 UTC

I have more experience than I'd like to have in the matter. There are more fun things you could do with your time, that's for sure.

I'm Hawkeye, by the way.

[video] loseyoursenses June 10 2011, 21:52:15 UTC

I can definitely agree with that. If I had my way, I'd never lose - but then, I think everyone feels the same way.

It's nice to meet you, Hawkeye. I'm Seiichi Yukimura.

[video] usedfakestache June 11 2011, 08:03:14 UTC

It'd be nice to avoid it, that's for sure. Then again, some amount of losing is probably necessary - keeps us on our toes.

Likewise... is it Seiichi or Yukimura or which do you prefer? All that time spent in Tokyo and I'm still never sure how it goes.

[video] loseyoursenses June 11 2011, 22:12:44 UTC

Either one is fine, but most of my friends call me Yukimura. You've been to Tokyo?

[video] usedfakestache June 11 2011, 22:52:44 UTC

Yukimura it is then.

A fair few times. I was stationed in South Korea for the last three years so whenever I got the chance for some R&R I'd head over to Tokyo.

[video] loseyoursenses June 13 2011, 05:08:44 UTC

Oh, really? I'm from near Tokyo myself. I hope you liked it. Are you in the military, then?

[video] usedfakestache June 13 2011, 07:35:51 UTC

Oh, Tokyo is great! I especially liked the Pink Pagoda.

I wouldn't exactly call it that, it's more a matter of volunteering against my will.

[video] loseyoursenses June 14 2011, 03:22:26 UTC

The Pink Pagoda? [He wonders if he should know what that is.]

Didn't they give you any choice?

[video] usedfakestache June 14 2011, 08:40:53 UTC

It's a... [This is one of those moments when you just. Don't go into details.]...bar. Nice little establishment.

[video] loseyoursenses June 15 2011, 05:11:28 UTC

[Yeah, careful there bro, this boy's 15.] Oh, I see. I suppose it's not a surprise I've never heard of it, then.
