Enzo's been buggin' me to get new pictures since I'm gonna be sticking around here.
So I got new pictures. Couple'a things.
1) Can I get a headcount on all the Signers here? Also, sorry if I set your arm on fire a couple weeks ago.
2) Haita. Juudai. Need to talk to you.
3) No, you cannot ask about my ears in the pictures. Not even if you're really, really curious.
4) They make any good games in the last three years or is it all just goat simulator and shooter shit.

Re: Event
....we did all kinds of stuff that probably seems totally absurd to people who were only a little bit weaker than us at the time, honestly.
You and me and Jeanette and Jinn and Yusei and Jack and Aki. So many times, we just had to pull the moon and the stars out of our ass just to stop the entire world from going up in smoke.
[She lets out a sigh and sits down next to him.]
I guess if you looked at that from the outside, I can see how you'd pick up that kind of idea. That we're like, invincible, or something. [She sighs.] And miss the part where our heads and minds and bodies are all blown to hell because of all of that stuff.
[She puts an arm around Juudai's shoulder.]
I sorta did that too. Honestly. More than a couple times, I thought "He can do anything. He's the strongest. He's my brother, after all." But I could also see how much all of that stuff weighed on you.
....s'probably pretty painful, huh. Having to think about all that stuff we went through again, because of this.
Re: Event
Yeah, it is, but I always try my best to keep the past in the past. You can never move on if you hold onto it.
Instead I use those experiences to help those who come to seek help here. So I can guide them or give them advice to the best of my knowledge.
*He gives out a sigh*
But Alex thinks I've not been doing enough, for Yuma, or his friends. I think she expects me to somehow be there to rescue them all the time and wrap them up in cotton wool so they never get hurt.
Of course, I'd never wish for any of them to be hurt, but having a power brings a lot of unwanted attention and situations that they have to experience, in order to become stronger people and allow their abilities to develop. Protecting them all the time wouldn't be beneficial for them... and I think they'd find it too suffocating.
But what we can do is make sure they have the support and advice we never had. To give them people to turn to talk to with confidence and let them know that no one should ever expect them to solve everything. That it's okay to back down and take a breather. And that it's okay to ask for our help, if and when they feel they need it.
I guess the biggest thing that hurt was hearing Alex call me lazy for doing things this way through SAI... when in reality, I put my heart and soul into this place everyday to make sure we can do the best we can for spirits and anyone with powers or abilities.
Re: Event
You really saved it, by stepping in when you did and bringing it into the Spirit Foundation. And you helped a lot of people when you did that.
...
[Despite the serious manner of the conversation, a little smile comes to Isabel.]
It took a lot of work, but, you eventually did it. Divine believed that humans and psychics were different species and couldn't coexist peacefully. But every day that SAI still stands, you're proving him wrong.
I think that's something to be pretty proud of.
Re: Event
*A grateful smile appears on Juudai's face as she compliments his work. It seems her words have cheered him up a little.*
Thank you, Isabel.
I'll admit that at one point, I started wondering if I was really doing enough. I found myself second guessing a little on what I was doing, but, your words just now, they mean a whole lot to me and have reassured me that this is, and always has been, the right path to take.
*With that, he pulls her into a gentle hug.*
Thank you.
Re: Event
...any time.
[She lets go and pats him on the chest with the back of her hand.]
I can't tell you how to deal with this situation. But I can tell you...you're a pretty smart guy. You know what you're capable of and you've always had good instincts for this kinda thing.
Trust those instincts. I don't think they'll steer you wrong.
Re: Event
Yeah. I definitely will! I'll make sure of it.
Re: Event
[...she lets out a breath.]
...so besides that, how're things?
Re: Event
Things have been okay.
Other than the stuff with Heartland. A lot of social media and news outlets picked up on that and used it to spread false accusations that the city was attacked by Duel Spirits, so negativity towards spirits outside of Domino City increased quite a bit with that.
Re: Event
[Sigh.]
I really gotta look into that. Whatever type of force can attack a city that size and then just disappear without a trace... ...is incredibly dangerous.
I may go there myself, soon to get a closer look.
Re: Event
It bothers me that we don't know who they were, why they attacked or even HOW they were able to do damage like that.
And if it happened to Heartland, it can happen anywhere, even here.
Maybe getting a closer look would give us some clues.
Re: Event
...
I'm gonna head there soon and look into what I can. After I get back, I'll see if I can help you guys with the Numbers.
