@STITCHEDTRAINER I mean... probably nothin' stranger than anythin' I've heard before. listened to lots of strangers stories in my time.
but, if you'd rather not share, I can't force ya. of course, I'm not tellin' ya these things cus they're easy to do. but cus it's what I think.
oh, did I give the impression school was useless? forgive me, forgive me. I was hyper focused on the disciplinary aspect.
school is great for learning, though! like ya said, math and whatnot would be a breeze for an academy to teach ya.
Hoenn's got its fair share of wild children too. All the ninja kids hiding in the trees and the soot fields scare the crap outta me...
It's just a hope. And also kinda...wanna not be stuck knowing basic things. Math is just a buncha numbers to me, and I can barely write. 💧
@STITCHEDTRAINER well, first off... maybe stop thinkin' like that. ya ain't ever gonna be 'normal' or 'fixed' or 'perfect'. no one is, it's an unrealistic ideal to hold.
just, try to learn to be happy with yourself and how you're improving.

She will refrain from “hacking” for
now.. since Rotom wants to keep
the peace!
But yes.. shocking was going to be
apart of it! Good instincts.

hmm.. is that so? I mean, sure. school gives a sort of sense of discipline. usually when kids go through it, it doesn't really stick around for most...
well, I suppose I'm biased cus thugs are more rampant where I'm from...
I...uh...never went to school as a kid, so I signed myself up to get schooling somewhere that still takes adults. Went one year and had to take an extended medical leave.
Now...I'm hoping that everything's settled.
I'm really hoping that just school will sort me out, y'know?
oh, you know someone? well, that's certainly easier. Paldea, huh? I haven't been there in ages...
( stretching her arms up in the air. )
maybe I'll hitch a ride back there sometime, meet some old friends.
Martial arts...?
I guess, uh...yeah, I can do that.
Heard that the gym teacher at Naranja Academy is a black belt, so I guess when I finally move to Paldea, I'll hafta ask for lessons.
ehh.. how the hell am I supposed to try again? ny 'first try' wasn't anything noteworthy, either...
( the rose tint on her cheeks growing slightly darker. )
I'll just make a fool of myself.
hmm... maybe you need some discipline.
it doesn't always work, but.. I knew a few people who used martial arts style discipline to overcome their deepest fears. of course, it's not foolproof, but it's definitely better than just doin' nothin' and praying.
. . . It's been a decade since then. I'm just wondering when it /will/ finally ease off and let me live my life.
Still can't handle the sound of ch...chains rattling . . .
( mmn... usually she'd swat a hand away when it got so close... but for some reason she just couldn't bring herself to it... )
that's.. not really all that surprising... just cus I'm headstrong doesn't mean I don't fumble...
(Chuckling- moving on in… A few fingers, grasping at her chin.)
What, one little obstacle and you stop dead in your tracks?
Didn’t take you for the type.
( her cheeks were puffed out, a tint of red staining them as her eyes narrowed. )
nu uh, the mood is totally passed now. if I tried, you might end up sprawled on the floor... (💧)
mhm, mhm. there's just some things that won't go away.
those are the type of things ya gotta get over the hump. it's rough, and won't happen right away, but I'm sure one day it won't bother ya as much.
hey! y'think I have no subtlety, or somethin'? just 'cus I'm a fighting type doesn't mean I'm a brainless brute!
stupid... your fault... I was trying to get back at you...
no, no. see, you're in your own head too much. thinkin' no one gives a shit.
I'm not really good at listenin' or anything, but it sounds to me like yer worryin' too much about not bein' /ABLE/ to solve yer own problems.
it's not somethin' everyone else is able to do, either.
Got a point there...
Guess everyone has their own issues, so who cares about mine. Think that's what you're tryna say.
Had that said to me more times than I can count...
