Huh

[shimmer_on]

I guess... this makes sense on some level.

Don't have to like it but...

This this the reason why online battles exist in simulators for no other good reason.

I don't like to be mean though, it reminds me of bad memories.

...Because drugs?

[shimmer_on]

No just being mean.

I... well, I wasn't always kind. I was mean, egotistical. I was getting a swelled head because I'm a high class Gunpla Builder and Fighter.

It reminds me that I used to be a real jerk.

[yes_im_kawaii]

But you changed? Most people just stay jerks forever.

[shimmer_on]

It came at a price.

Changing... robbed me of my ability to build, and play Gunpla Battle for a while.

I was defeated by a girl, who beat my best Gunpla with something right off the shelf. A straight build. No tricks, no gimmicks.

She said, "Gunpla Battle isn't about winning." Before taking me out.

[yes_im_kawaii]

That sounds like something off TV. So you quit for a while because you were scared and you didn't know what to do?

[shimmer_on]

Kind of, yeah. I had to quit my Gunpla 4-man team, so that I could transfer from Crystal Prep to CHS. And yet, I feel kind of off still?

[yes_im_kawaii]

Off how come? 'Cause everything's all different and stuff?

[shimmer_on]

I dunno, I just don't feel like I still enjoy it. I can battle and build but there's no enjoyment in it right now.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Weird. ...Did you try building other things? Maybe stuff you don't need to be good at. Build something out of K'nex. Or make a tower of books. Or give your roomba a sword.

[shimmer_on]

... even though the roomba with a sword sounds impractical but kind of awesome, I figure you're right. I need to expand a little outside of Gunpla then.

K'nex you said?

[yes_im_kawaii]

Yeah! We have, like, fifty sets. I build stuff out of it all the time at the EMC, so they're all mixed up, though.

[shimmer_on]

Well if you were going freeform then mixing up the sets is probably the best idea then.

[yes_im_kawaii]

You should try making something big. I saw someone build a Skee-Ball machine out of it on the internet once.

[shimmer_on]

Huh. Well if I can get the space for it, I will definitely do so.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Okay! Or something for whatever important holiday is coming up. There's probably tons.

[shimmer_on]

It's still early school but right now it's really good weather.

[yes_im_kawaii]

There's lots of holidays all the time. I'll look one up. September 30 is, uh... Vegan Baking Day. So you can. Bake stuff. With no eggs and milk and butter? That's a dumb day.

[shimmer_on]

Well, I already go light on the meat at any rate, so maybe yeah. It's going to be a challenge though.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Do this Sunday instead. October 4 is Improve Your Office Day. You can build anything for that.

[shimmer_on]

That would actually work come to think about it. Yeah I'll make something for that.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Okay! Not one of those mini golf things, though, everyone has one of those.

[shimmer_on]

Yeah, we probably don't need one of those at least.
