[It's been just about two weeks since Yuri's return to Luceti. He mostly kept to himself during this time, wanting to make certain he had most - if not all - of his memories of Luceti back before he made it clear that he was around again. ... And of course, before taking control of Brave Vesperia again. Seeing his guildmates and having no clue who half of them were wouldn't exactly win him any points with them, after all.

But now, he was sure he remembered most things. ... Little details weren't around, but he didn't see the details as being nearly as important as faces and names. Regardless, he decided that he'd done enough waiting around and flipped open his journal.]

[ voice ]

I guess I've put this off long enough. [... Geez, what does he even say? "Hey guys, I'm back, in case someone didn't know!" Wow, that's kind of lame. Uhm.] So ... for those who know me, I'm back again - and I remember most things, as far as I can tell. For those who've got no clue who I am ... I wouldn't worry about it. I'm just one of those guys who keeps winding up here for whatever reason. You know, one of the "lucky" ones. [You could practically hear the quotes around 'lucky'.]

Anyway, I'll be taking charge of Brave Vesperia again over the next few days. So, if you've got any business with the guild and need to contact the guy in charge, send a message out to Yuri Lowell. I'll get back to you when I can. Also, if any guild members have anything they feel should be brought to my attention or anything like that, just let me know.

[Hm ... Yeah, that should be good enough. Although, there is one last thing ...]

... Aside from all that, I've got a question. Does anyone know just who was in charge of that training school thing from a while back? I've got a few things to ask them, if they're still around.

[Aside from that bit of business he had to take care of, Yuri's also at the battle dome, trying to get used to using the control panel for it again. ... Sure, he's only got it to do basic things (send out monsters in a typical grassy field), but it's something. He'll figure the rest of it out later.

So yes, feel free to run into him while he tries to figure out how to do more than just super basic things with the battle dome, or even catch him while he's training there.]

Indeed. It's a lot to keep in mind, even if we can't exactly prepare ourselves, not knowing when that time will be.

That's true, but it's definitely better than nothing. Even if we can't prepare ourselves just yet, we can at least keep in mind that these things have a very obvious weakness.

[If they're being run on ... that sort of thing, Yuri figures destroying the heads would take care of them immediately. Gruesome as the final product of doing that may look.]

I don't know... when would be a good time for you?

["Lazy" is Jack's middle name, Yuri. This is a fact you need to learn if you're going to let him in Brave Vesperia. Not that he can't work hard, he just... prefers not to.]

Eh? You'd really make me do that? I wouldn't be any good for that at all; I'm far too skinny. They'd probably just crush me and then you'd have to find someone else anyway, so why even ask me?

I guess mornings would be best, on whatever days you're not busy. That's when I usually go out to train anyway, so it technically wouldn't be conflicting with anything on my end.

Then you better start doing some push-ups, or you're gonna have a hard time in the next few months.

... yes. That is very true. Hopefully we won't be seeing them for a very long time, if at all. All the more reason to keep training, I suppose.

What about the weekends? That way we won't have to worry about changing the days when school starts up again.

Yeah ...

[... Oh. Speaking of--]

Actually, that reminds me. You didn't stop training after I left, did you?

[Surely Raine found someone else to go on those weekend battle dome adventures after he disappeared, right ...?]

Weekends, huh ...

[That's when most of his spars are ... well, if this is in the mornings, then it shouldn't conflict. He can handle all this! It's just extra training, that's all !!]

Yeah, that's probably our best option. It'd be kind of annoying to have to change days and times around later on, anyway.

-- Oh. [She blinks for a moment, but there's a flash of looking guiltily caught off guard.] I suppose I haven't really kept up with it as much as I should have.

[Oh wow, he caught her off-guard. That's a rarity.

... So of course this means he has to take the time to be a teasing jerk while there's still an opening. Obviously.]

Heh ... Couldn't bear to keep things up without me around, huh? I guess I could understand that.

Yeah, and I help out in the Welcome Center and Sheena's tea shop too, so my afternoons are usually pretty busy after school.

[He likes having things to do, okay. Maybe too many things.]

But I'm a craftsman, not a laborer.

Well, if I don't see what I asked for within the next two months, you're gonna be both.

[... Wow wait what.]

... Don't you think you're spreading yourself a little thin, doing all that?

[Building projects, Welcome Center stuff, helping out in a tea shop, and then he'll be going back to school soon ... Wow, that's a lot.]

What can I say, it's just not the same without a partner. [Saving face. Really, there are a number of reasons why her training fell through. Something that just happens over time, especially when someone isn't knocking on your door to invite you along at odd hours.]

[Raine that doesn't help when the guy you're saying that to was trying to use non-serious flirt-tease tactics on you. You just opened pandora's box with a line like that and Yuri is very unsure if he can keep his mouth shut right now.]

Yeah, a lot of things in life just aren't the same without one, I'd say.

[... He's not sorry.]

Don't worry, I don't do them all on the same days. I mostly help out with the Welcome Center during New Feather cycles, and I don't have that many classes anymore since I've already taken most of them. Besides, I like having things to do. It makes me feel like I'm being useful.

In that case, I'll just have to make sure to announce it to everyone before then!

That's better. I'll be keeping an eye on the calendar, though, so don't think I'm gonna forget about this by then.

If you say so. It still sounds a little much to me, but whatever keeps you busy, I guess.

It's a lot better than sitting around and doing nothing, at least.

Of course not-- I wouldn't expect you to forget something like this.

[Jack might forget, though.]

Good. Then I won't expect you to forget, either.

[better buy some post-it notes, jack .....]
