...Vacations are funny, aren't they? If they last long enough, they can start to get kinda boring.

[The commentary filtered through the pages of the journal system around midday, as if it was just a part of a conversation between two individuals instead of a public address. Cliff's tone was as relaxed and casual as always, for those who knew him. There was a faint hum in the otherwise quiet background.]

I mean, the downtime is nice, but I'm kinda tired of it-- which should answer any questions about 'why' and what not, so don't bother askin'.

The name's Cliff Fittir, if any of you here don't know, and I figured I'd offer my services. If any of you want a sparring partner, trainer, teacher or whatever, I'm available. Just say something if you're interested.

And if you're not...then could ya tell me what this cool thing is?

[He flipped the video on at this point, revealing a small circular device methodically rolling across the carpet.]

I've got an idea already, which brings me to Question Two: Is there a way to get good tech supplies without needing to go outside?

[He ends the feed at that, but will be prompt with replies.]

[Action]

[Cliff set off about town, looking for the aforementioned tech supplies so he could properly play with his new toy, though he would be keeping his eyes and ears alert for any of his friends and students to check up on. After a several week absence followed by a Shift that had made him appear as a young woman, there hadn't been much chance to see his people without having to answer more questions than he wanted. Furthermore, there were people that he met during that Shift that he wanted to clear things up with, one way or another.

However, he had plans for that evening...]

[Action: Private for Fayt Leingod]

Yo. You better have some free time tonight.

[He had questions...but, more importantly, he had plans for both of them.]

...

Right. I don't think you're ever gonna make a sprinter outta me.

Voice;

[ahappylie]

Ohhhh, you'll be surprised at how fast a person can move when properly motivated.

Voice;

[aerialassault]

Oh? What sorta motivation did you have in mind?

Voice;

[ahappylie]

What sort of motivation gets you moving the fastest?

Voice;

[aerialassault]

Do ya even need to ask that?

[He was sure that you could think of something.]

Voice;

[ahappylie]

Good, then when I tie a little dagger to Saizou's back and let him at you, you'll be quick as anything, yes?

Voice;

[aerialassault]

Aw, gee-- you really know how to wreck a guy's fun, don't you?!

Voice;

[ahappylie]

Were you hoping for something a little more fun? I thought we were talking about training. [Because he is always a tease, and he can't help himself.]

Voice;

[aerialassault]

You were the only one really talking about training!

[Cliff was willing to play with Saizou, but training with Saizou was another matter. He didn't want the little pig learning more of his moves.]

Voice;

[ahappylie]

Then what were you talking about?

Voice;

[aerialassault]

[Cliff just laughed.]

I'm sure you can figure it out.

Voice;

[ahappylie]

You'd have to catch me first.

Thus - training.

Voice;

[aerialassault]

'Training' just makes it sound so boring, though. Don't you agree?

Voice;

[ahappylie]

Training is important though - otherwise how are you going to catch me?

Voice;

[aerialassault]

Does it matter? I'm gonna catch you anyway.

Voice;

[ahappylie]

Don't sound so confident, you've never had to chase me through the village before, so how do you know?

Voice;

[aerialassault]

I don't need to know-- I always win.

[LIES.]

Voice;

[ahappylie]

Only because we've never sparred. I wager I could outrun you for a day.

Voice;

[aerialassault]

[He was just being a cocky jackass...]

You do, huh? I'll take you on that-- what's the wager?

Voice;

[ahappylie]

Whatever you'd like it to be. I'm game for a run.

Voice;

[aerialassault]

Then let's decide that when we set a date. It'll be more interesting that way.

[Obviously, he was now looking forward to a possible sleepover after this teasing...hence the wait. He didn't want to be too obvious.]

Re: Voice;

[ahappylie]

Alright, but first - training. And Saizou needs to meet Voomy.

Otherwise, it isn't very sporting of me.

Voice;

[aerialassault]

Alright. We can do it like that.

[Since, odds were that he was going to lose this wager anyway, the sporting approach was appreciated.]

...what do you want if you win?

Voice;

[ahappylie]

Oh~ we can decide on prizes once we find out who the winner is. Isn't that more fun?

Voice;

[aerialassault]

Uh...yeah. It makes it more interesting, alright!

[Souji was going to make him wear a dress, or something equally obnoxious. He had a hunch that this was going to be his doom.]
