[locked from Oriko]

Hey... is it weird not to want focus on duty all the time? I just don't see the point of focusing on your job and ignoring the rest of my life, y'know? Dunno.

Maybe I just need a break or something.

Even Super Sentai require downtime. It's not uncommon to want some.

Just focusing on that is boring and stressful if you ask me, not good!

[justforyou]

Then why would someone just ignore everything else?

[justforyou]

Exactly! Why...would Oriko want to focus on that and ignore stuff? I don't get it.

And if your life is your work? There are plenty of people who should focus on their job the whole time.

[justforyou]

People are more than just jobs.

[AKA my crush is more focused on saving the world and I don't get it]

voice;

[desertification]

That depends on the job.

[aka my job is making myself look decent and make money while secretly plotting a coup in order to establish a great military power of a nation and I am happy to devote all my time to this]

[justforyou]

Feelings exist, too.

[desertification]

That doesn't make them important.

Re: voice;

[justforyou]

Of course they are!

[desertification]

How?

It's "feelings" that make people continue to do something long after they should have given up, to get themselves or others killed in situations they could have easily avoided, or hesitate in going after what they want. They just get in the way and stop people from doing something.

Sounds like your friend has a massive complex about it. There's a few Super Sentai in history who focus on nothing but the battle, like Takeru Shiba of Shinkenger. Although he gradually warmed up to his friends after all.

Oriko doesn't exactly like the fighting. She's just interested in the end result. I really don't get it. We have a goal but that doesn't mean we shouldn't only focus on that.

[grandest_delusion]

If you focus exclusively on one thing, then it becomes detrimental. Like the Witch Bandora was so focused on her revenge on the dinosaurs, that she couldn't plan straight. Her mind was crooked and her plans askew, all in order to hate children and dinosaurs. In the end she learned how to love children again. But she lost so much because of her narrow focus.

That reasoning is only born from a lack of the most precious resource: love.

Love...love is the thing that everyone needs but something that almost everyone underestimates or misunderstands. Why? Love is the ultimate resource the worlds can give us! Greater than gold or oil, it creates passion. Passion is the drive that pushes people to do things. Without love there is no passion and without passion there's nothing to life.

People without love.. they're just wasting their lives.

Are you working yourself too hard there, Kure-san?

[Have a concerned looking Sasayan pop up on the feed.] ...maybe you need to take a break from what you're doing right now, y'know? It helps out.

[justforyou]

No...I'm fine, coach.

[she sighs a little bit, running her hands through her hair.] It's just Oriko. I really don't get her. She's really important to me but--I keep feeling that she's just deciding to focus more on the magical girl thing than she she should.

[justforyou]

Wait...what? What do dinosaurs have to do with anything?

[grandest_delusion]

A dinosaur stepped on her son and she swore vengeance against them for millennia.

If you focus on it all the time, then you don't get to experience what it is you're continuing on for in the first place and you lose sight of it. There's no problem with wanting to focus on work or duties, but everyone has to take a break sometimes.

If the person really loves their job just because they love their job you can look at it this way too: If they don't experience anything else, then that feeling will dull. Like eating your favorite food every day. It's really delicious, but after a while you get sick of it and start to forget why you loved it. If you have other things, you can go back to it and say "this is the stuff!"

[justforyou]

Yeah...! I get it. Well, I don't get why this person only focuses on it, though. We've got a job to do and I get it. It's important. But they can't shove everything else out of the way and say "well, nothing changes". That's not healthy!

[justforyou]

Aren't...dinosaurs kinda extinct?

[grandest_delusion]

They were. In Sentai at least, there's at least three tribes of dinosaurs who managed to live in pocket dimensions.

[tenminutes]

So prove it to them.

[hasdoneit]

...she's...focusing more on the magical girl things...?

[He's raising a brow a little bit in suspicion of that. Why would Oriko just focus on that...? Ah well, he supposes questions will come later.] ...so, she's running you dry, too, is what you're saying?
