Hopefully this new way of doing things will give you better luck at getting some of the rest of the Team, mun. Or even others that have a mentality like Allenby and I do. It's... pretty hard to keep up the Team Dai-Gurren spirit when it's only me and Boota, to tell the truth. And when this place doesn't seem to operate like things do at home. And when we try to do things our way, our comrades are sent back to the pods. _{Or worse...}

Don't get me wrong - I'm not broken. It's just really weird to find myself in situations wondering what Rossiu would do. Or Leeron, or Leite. Sure, there's smart guys on the ship, but I don't know them from Adam.

I'll stick it out, though. The multiverse isn't gonna save itself.

I hope it won't be just you and Boota soon.

[punchedoutdestiny]

[He nods, and smiles a little.] Same here. And hopefully by then, we'll have taken care of our "benefactors"...

[whatdoesthismean]

[Head tilt, just a bit. She's not sure what you mean, Simon!]

As long as you and Bootan are okay! Maybe I could help you some how?

[justoneletter]

[Holy Night knows how it feels to miss a friend. He peers at Simon for a few moments, debating whether or not he should approach. The shaggy black hair reminds him of the one he lost, but this man doesn't have the same sort of carefree air about him.]

…

[He goes for it, strolling on up to headbutt Simon's leg.]

[yoroshiku]

Man, I hear ya! It's a real pain talking to people who don't even know what cyber formula racing is!

[kingofbattles]

I always thought having a team would get in my way.

[punchedoutdestiny]

We're alright, for now. [He nods again at her offer for help.] There's a lot to do around the ship - there's definitely plenty of places we can use help.

[simonthedigger]

Tell me about it.

[punchedoutdestiny]

[Unfortunately, Simon's got a lot more on his shoulders than Holy Night's artist friend to worry about, so he won't be carefree for a while.

However, he does stoop down upon feeling the headbutt, and reaches out to pet the cat. There's a sad sort of smile as he does so, though.]

Hey, little fella. You lost?

[A curious little brown pigmole pokes his head out from Simon's collar. Caaaaaat. Cat. Cat. Cautiousness is the order of the day.]

[punchedoutdestiny]

Can't say I know what that is, but the idea's the same, yeah.

[punchedoutdestiny]

Thatt's a potential problem, but if the team is like-minded, it can be a great thing to have some people that have your back.

[punchedoutdestiny]

[Well hello there...self. Um.]

...which part?

[justoneletter]

[Somewhat shyly, Holy Night tilts his head into that hand. Being a cat, he pointedly ignores the pigmole, as the bluster of other animals is beneath his feline pride.]

[He is not lost, necessarily, but he is alone, and misses the company of people sometimes. And this man seems to be missing people, too.]

[simonthedigger]

My team's gotten thin, as well.

People have left. People have died.

It sucks. Just have to find ways to push forward.

[yoroshiku]

... Not you too!!

[punchedoutdestiny]

[Boota is not sure about being ignored. On one hand, it's being ignored. That's kinda rude, kitty cat. On the other hand, it means that this one is not going to try and eat him. Hopefully.]

[At least the cat is certain of the fate of the one he misses. There's far too many unaccounted for of the ones Simon misses.

Simon moves to drop down into a sitting position, continuing with the petting. The smile's a little less sad, though.]

[punchedoutdestiny]

[Welp.]

...well, at least I'm able to identify with the frustration?

[punchedoutdestiny]

I don't know who's alive or dead, save for Yoko. She's alive, but... From the past, apparently. Back in the pods, though.

The rest, I dunno. I can't just up and ask the ship for who's alive and dead, unfortunately.

[He nods.] I'll keep pushing, until I'm dead, or stuck back in the pods myself.

[no_compromise]

We could use some of that spirit in the place I'm stuck in. Pity you're not there--you'd love it.

[punchedoutdestiny]

Heh. Unfortunately, both myself and the mun have our hands full where I'm at.

[no_compromise]

Double the pity then. It's like how it was seven years ago where I'm at--right up your alley.

[punchedoutdestiny]

Before or after Teppelin fell?

[no_compromise]

Before. Isn't it your specialty to drill through such confines?

[punchedoutdestiny]

It is, but unfortunately, it seems the place I'm in is rather restrictive. Spiral Power doesn't have the same punch as it does at home

[no_compromise]

tch. Sounds the same as this place then.

...Never thought I'd see this side of the conflict. Makes me appreciate your reasons a little better.

[punchedoutdestiny]

Funny how that works, isn't it?

I've come to appreciate the way Rossiu wanted to do things a bit more myself.

[no_compromise]

That is funny.

...did you ever stop the moon from falling? The mun on this end refuses to tell me.

[punchedoutdestiny]

Of course I did. Just who the hell do you think I am, Viral?

[no_compromise]

You're Simon the Digger, the man that always gets the job done.

...I don't know why I even bothered doubting you.
