[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.

[ action ]

[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.]

This may be a surprising revelation for you, but I happen to be a very sarcastic person.

You don't say.

Yes. It's kind of a me thing.

No kidding. Are there any other startling confessions you have for me?

Now that you mention it, yes. I feel like I should be consulted about future Brave Vesperia decisions. This fighting school thing came out of nowhere. I feel very out of the loop.

Actually, I wasn't gonna even mention it to everyone until I had more details, so ... You're more in the loop than most of the guild right now.

Well. Right. Good then. That's a good start.

Yeah, right - if you say so. Don't think I'm going to start hunting you down and asking for your input every time I get an idea, though.

Too hard to get to the journals, huh?

That's right. You wouldn't believe how hard it is just to motivate myself to open this thing some days. Sometimes, I even have to open a drawer, first. Takes a while to psyche myself up for that.

Old age, huh. It's a good thing you keep being sent home. Otherwise you might get too brittle to ever move.

Well, I've still got my mental age to worry about here. No matter how many times they send me back and forth, that won't get any better.

Maturity. Just always out of grasp.

I sure hope you're not talking about me when you say that. I'm plenty mature.

[What with all the pranks he pulls on 12 year olds and circle-teasing naive people. That's Maturity 101, you see.]

Right. Right. Of course you are. [Sokka says it very reassuringly too. For Yuri's sake.]

[Noooooot sure how he feels about that.]

... Right. Thanks for the reassurance, I think.

No problem. I'm sure you'll do fine with the training school too! Good luck!

[Encouraging Yuri as a trolling tactic? Possibly super effective. Sokka will remember this.]

[....... Yeaaaaaah, not liking how this is sounding.]

You're sure being nice all of a sudden ...

Hey. Leading Brave Vesperia is no picnic. I can only give you a hard time for so long.

So you're telling me you just now decided to stop giving me a hard time. Is that it?

I know. Sometimes I care too much. It's a weakness.

It's definitely something, but I'm not sure if "weakness" is the right word for it.

A gift, perhaps. Sometimes I wish I could care for everyone in the world. But I can't.

Mmhmm. Anyway, I'll leave you to tend to your bleeding heart. I've got some things to sort out with this training school thing.

[A convenient excuse to get away from a situation he's not completely prepared to combat? Noooooooo.]

Sure. Seeya around.

[He's pretty sure he won this round.]
