I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take

Who: Shido Masayoshi & Y'all Fine Folks
What: Catch-all for the month pre-expedition
When: 6/12 - 6/30 IC (7/1 - 7/19 OOC) except 6/22 (7/11)
Where: Various places throughout the station (as well as a smol network post)
Warnings: nada

[Shido can be found around the Station, particularly in the kitchen where he's attempting to make a meal of some sort (key word: attempting)— he's been practicing on seafood in particular since they have so much of it. You might also find him once again in the library, though to those who saw him the first time, he looks overall better now— more alert, well-rested and taken care of... and he's definitely gotten more mastery over his lightning element magic.

Also, if you decide to go sparring outside ala Fight Club? Shido will offer to heal you. "Or try, at least." Apparently he's taken up practicing healing, too, if you feel like being a guinea pig. At the least, he can't make the injury worse... probably? Though, he actually finds merely watching to be interesting, though it's clear he sometimes has trouble with keeping up with such rapid movements...

From the sixteenth of June and on, you may see a lion outside, generally not too far from the Station, either snoozing in the sun, trotting around or sometimes outright running— the cooler it is, the more active he's likely to be.

Finally, on 6/15 he puts up a simple network post:]


Greetings. I was wondering if anyone here who is experienced in using weapons like spears would be willing to tutor a novice in battle. I have been practicing a bit since I arrived here in general movement, but nothing with a weapon like this.

I can help you with that, if you'd like.

Library, 6/17

[When Shido visits the library the afternoon after the card game, he'll find Goro already sitting there, with a small stack of books next to him and one open in his hands. There's a stack of paper on his other side, which he occasionally pauses to scratch something out on, before going back to his book. Whatever he's working on, he seems to be enjoying himself.

It takes him a moment to notice movement, but when he does, he looks up at Shido and sets his pencil down. He doesn't get up right away, though...almost like he's waiting for something.]

We can begin now, if you're up for it. I'm already down on the beach.

[Robin doesn't seem to be bothered by the weather, at the least as he waves Shido over, a spear in his left hand. He tilts his head at the question, then huffs quietly.]

Because you asked. I've been offering lessons to people in use of different weapons anyway. Besides, when it comes to these Fissures... it never hurts to be able to defend yourself.
foolishjustice: (Shall I explain?)

[If that was what he wanted...he gives no indication either way, though he does set his pencil down to mark his page in his book.]

I found a math book that's the same level as what I was studying for class. Finals were coming up last time I was home, so I don't want to risk forgetting everything if Charm-san is right about the Fissures being able to send us back to when we left.
foolishjustice: (Aww...)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-07-08 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks up at Shido and tilts his head slightly.]

Shido...? Is something wrong?
foolishjustice: (Can it wait?)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-07-08 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
By which you mean, it's obviously something, but you don't want to admit to it.

[Just, leaning back and crossing his arms.]

I'm considering either law or political sciences. Something that I can use to help people who have been hurt by the corruption in our government and legal system.

Go right ahead. Is it really that bad out here?

[It's been maybe a little uncomfortable, but like.

He's fought in an active volcano. This ain't shit.]

I'm always willing to accept new partners, if your search is still on.

Although I have to say, I've not much experience with polearms myself.

[...There's obviously something bothering him, but he seems pretty defensive about it right now. Maybe it would be best to back off for a little, then ask again when he's not so on edge? It's not like they've been good at opening up to each other in general.]

It is an appealing idea. Part of why I became a detective was...seeing the way people got away with treating others however they wanted infuriated me. I wanted to make a difference, to punish the people who had hurt me, and everyone like them.

But working in the justice system...did you know that 99% of defendants are convicted in our legal system? And many officers and prosecutors will make arrests or file charges without being sure, just to bring a case to an end. It didn't fully hit until I worked with the Phantom Thieves, but justice isn't just about punishing criminals...it's also about helping their victims. So, when I leave the police force, I want it to be moving to the other side of things...doing something where I can be of help to people who have suffered unfairly.
foolishjustice: (This is my justice-!)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-07-09 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Well...isn't that sort of what the Phantom Thieves are about? Changing the way people view corrupt authority as impossible to challenge, and inspiring ordinary people to stand up to change their own lives. We might not be able to change the way the system works, but we can encourage people to not just lower their heads and accept injustice.

I don't mind a bit of instruction either, then.

My mother used a trident. It's not entirely like that harpoon, but I remember she was very thorough in her demands that I at least learn its ins and outs.

[ Fight Club is what he was doing, and he miiiight have let himself get a bit roughed up? He's gently brushing a hand over a lightly bruised cheek as he approaches Shido. ]

Healing, huh...?
