Anyone else getting a massive wave of culture shock? It's totally kicking my ass right now. I got a nice little gig set up here above a bar, but the catch is I gotta work. But yeah, people are coming and going like crazy around here. Weird outfits, weird hairstyles. Seeing everyone go crazy about freedom is pretty freakin' cool. Nobody needs some stuffy old dude sittin' in a golden high chair sucking his royal thumb and giving out orders all the time.

Not gonna lie, I've seen some pretty big palaces before, but I totally wanna raid the hell out of Versailles.

So anyway, is it like this all the time when you guys get a new mission? I've never been to Paris before, but I kinda know what it looks like from pictures back in my own time? Universe? Good luck getting your head around that shit, it's way too deep for me. I was all excited to see the Eiffel Tower, but apparently it's not gonna exist for like... a hundred years.

@KRUGER All but one of 'em. But it's cool, we wanted to fail it anyway. Casinos are kinda gaudy as all hell, yo.

What do you do to stay focused and on the right track?

[trample]

@ENTERTHEDRAGON Focus is something that either comes naturally to people, or doesn't.
@ENTERTHEDRAGON If you're asking me for help, then you're probably one of the latter.
@ENTERTHEDRAGON In that case, I'd probably tell you to find a good drill sergeant and ready yourself for hell, if you hadn't already.

[ryuji]

@KRUGER It's not really my strong suit, I gotta admit.

But, hell, I ain't looking for someone to start yelling down my face to get me in shape.

[trample]

@ENTERTHEDRAGON That's how you fix any slacker.
@ENTERTHEDRAGON Don't knock it 'til you try it.
@ENTERTHEDRAGON It'll be a learning experience.

[ryuji]

@KRUGER I didn't choose the slacker life, it chose me.

[trample]

@ENTERTHEDRAGON Sounds like excuses, to me.

[ryuji]

@JAGR What? I ain't makin' any excuses.

[trample]

@ENTERTHEDRAGON That's just an excuse for excuses.
@ENTERTHEDRAGON Read carefully, Dragon man.
@ENTERTHEDRAGON If I need to be the one shouting at you to focus, I can and will.
@ENTERTHEDRAGON It's about all I can do now.

@JAGR Dude, I don't know you from Adam, but saying that the only thing you can do is yell at a person can't be the extent of what you got.

But if it makes you feel like you got purpose, then go for it.

[trample]

@ENTERTHEDRAGON What is Adam?
@ENTERTHEDRAGON And believe me, I wish I was wrong more that you do.
@ENTERTHEDRAGON But I've got a bum leg. Can't fight. Can't sneak. Can't do much of anything, really, which makes me wonder why I got picked out from every other soldier around.

[ Can't even run. ]

[ryuji]

@JAGR It's an expression... just meaning that I don't know you very well.

[But holy shit does he understand Eren.]

I do too. I used to be a star track runner until someone broke mine. Now I got a bit of a limp and I can't really run as much as I could before. But you make up for it in other ways.

But dude. It's when you ain't got shit to lose are you free to be whatever you want.

[trample]

@ENTERTHEDRAGON They broke your leg?
@ENTERTHEDRAGON Did you at least break theirs?
@ENTERTHEDRAGON Either way, if there's anything I'm free to lose at the moment, it's time.
@ENTERTHEDRAGON When you've got some to spare, let me know. I'll be ready to show you every tried and true method to finishing off slackers.

[ Is it possible to social link with someone whose name you don't even know? Answer me, Atlus. Anyway, assuming you could, that's totally what just happened between these two. Insert Justice tarot card somewhere around here, big speech about confidants and infinite power there...yada yada. You know the drill. ]

[ryuji]

[I AM THOU... THOU ART I]

@KRUGER No... I punched the dude and he broke my leg. Everything after that is kinda blurry. I woke up in a hospital bed. But it's fine. I eventually got my revenge.

It's a long story.

Alright! Let's both train really hard then.
