Twenty-Third Strike - [Action]

[not_klonoa]

[Today, in the brush close to the forest, a very small, furry, white creature is playing. It's a baby polar bear. The little bear rolls around on the ground and grass, paws reaching for its feet, which are waving in the air. It seems to want to grab them, or what's on the bottom of them

1/2 lmao this has to happen.

[sorryhesabear]

[ ...awww, Bepo didn't know there were other polar bears in Luceti. Shouldn't this one be with her mother somewhere? He could help her out!

because, you know, keywords. He stops in the middle of power-freakout-walking just for the babby. ]

[pawpadsomg]

No, I...I worked. [For over a decade. The same thing, over and over again. Presea folds her ears back at the memory and stays quiet. Her ears perk up after a moment, and she tilts her head, too. There's a word there she didn't understand the meaning of.]

...Submarine? Is that a variation of water vessel? A ship?

[sorryhesabear]

[ ...huh. A traditional bear sign of unhappiness, that. He has enough tact not to do any asking. ]

Kind of. It travels under the water instead of on top of it.

[pawpadsomg]

...How? Is it reinforced? How does it not sink? And move?

[Goodnss, a boat that can travel under the water sounds crazy, but also extremely useful and rather amazing. Please excuse Presea, her natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge is showing.]

[sorryhesabear]

[ Blinking. Sitting down and scratching his head. ]

I never thought about it before.

[pawpadsomg]

[Darn. Oh well, Presea can always look up the answered she seeks in the library.]

I see...thank you regardless.

[sorryhesabear]

No problem.

You should enjoy being a bear while you can! [ s-sob, before it gets taken away horribly in the dark of night. ]

[pawpadsomg]

[She stands up, but it's only for a moment. She falls back onto her rear with a startled squeak, wiggling to get upright again. This body's going to take some getting used to.]

H-How should I...do so? I have not been in such a body before. What...do polar bears enjoy doing?

[sorryhesabear]

Swimming, eating, sleeping, training, card games...

[ Bepo is not the most normal of bears, but whatever. IT'S GOOD TIMES. ]

[pawpadsomg]

[Those last two, what. Pushing them aside for now, Presea looks up at Bepo and actually has to think for a moment.]

I...have never been to the sea before. I do not...think I know how to swim. [She can't remember ever learning. And if she did, it must have been when she was very small.] Uh...how does a bear train?

[What does a bear train? Its claws?]

[sorryhesabear]

Well, I learned how to fight a while ago, so I have to train to keep getting stronger.

... But I guess that doesn't mean every bear has to know how.
