[did somebody say meal? Enter one hungry teenager. Wait a minute...]

Where'd you get that trident?

[Only the best dry, chunky rations and fruits for this crew. Leave it up to your instructor to create the best, healthiest meals out of whatever crap we've got to keep you all strong.]

Got it in a shop back in town. I've been restoring it off and on since; it was pretty rusted when I got it. I just don't feel quite as right wielding a sword or gun, as reliable as they are.

[touches the trident thoughtfully] So you can fight with this?

tomatoandbasil June 25 2011, 00:30:07 UTC

It's not my usual brand of spear, but it's working out much nicer than anything else so far. Is there something odd about it?

waterproofed June 25 2011, 00:30:57 UTC

No, it's... It just reminds me of my dad.

tomatoandbasil June 25 2011, 00:35:51 UTC

Oh? Hopefully nothing bad.

[She seems to be doing this a lot lately. Perhaps she has a bigger effect on people than she thinks.]

waterproofed June 25 2011, 00:43:06 UTC

Not at all. My dad's the coolest.

tomatoandbasil June 25 2011, 23:03:48 UTC

[Well that's a relief! She almost smiles. Almost. The fact she can do this, even inadvertently, for others while on this horrible trip is oddly comforting.]

I'm glad I could do that then. Was he good with it? Did you ever pick up how to use one as a result?

waterproofed June 25 2011, 23:09:15 UTC

[amused] Oh, yeah, he was good. But I was trained on a sword, so I don't know how I'd do with a trident.

tomatoandbasil June 25 2011, 23:13:31 UTC

Spears in general are different; I found them easier to use in the forests back home, though. Swords are a perfect starting point for anyone, though, and the basics of fighting can apply to most any style or weapon.

waterproofed June 25 2011, 23:24:27 UTC

Maybe I can train on it when we get back.

tomatoandbasil June 25 2011, 23:45:33 UTC

My classes always have room. So long as you have the willingness to learn, I don't discriminate in any way on who I take.

waterproofed June 25 2011, 23:46:59 UTC

I'm definitely willing.

tomatoandbasil June 26 2011, 01:06:50 UTC

That's what I like to hear. Full marks for spirit; good to see this hasn't gotten any of you down. If you want to fight well, you need to know how to endure hardship, so this will harden you all well enough on its own.

waterproofed June 26 2011, 01:09:26 UTC

I've endured plenty of hardship before I even got here. I'm ready for whatever comes next.

tomatoandbasil June 26 2011, 10:07:27 UTC

[Do you know how happy it makes her to hear kids speak like this? Not that she'll ever admit it.]

What kind of hardships, if I may pry further?
