Forty Sixth Star

...Riou, damnit...

Sorry to my fellow officers, but Officer Riou is going to be out of commission for awhile. He got busted up something awful by a malice monster. Had he his chip out... No, no use in thinking like that.

The stress just keeps building up. Every time I get a bit of relief, something happens to make it all seem worse again. I'm getting a little sick of the back and fourth. Mentally, emotionally, physically... I'm getting to my breaking point here. After this is all over, I'm just going to fish for a few days. I don't care if I won't catch anything. I need some zen in my life.

Until then, I guess it's back on another patrol. Let's try to have it be one where I don't have to go rescue someone or run into a pack of hungry monsters, eh? Not that I mind these things normally, it's just... too much of anything will kill you.

[Private to Cecil]

We need to talk.

Even if I'd scare them away? You know I can't stay quiet for very long!

Hey, not like we'd catch anything anyways, right?

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Maybe a tiny lakemonster?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Keep it as a pet?

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

You'd just eat it!

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Oh ye of little faith.

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

You ate that blob thing! And it did not look tasty at all.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

But it was still a fish. A lake monster is not necessarily a fish.

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

If it has gills, it's a fish.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

That is so not true.

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

Oh? Why not?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Sometimes they're squids.

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

...

How do you catch a squid?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Carefully.
