[He is not dealing with the draft announcement well. The idea of going is bad enough, but his sister going? Unforgivable. He needs a distraction like a fish needs water and he's going to do it in the only way he knows how.]

Yo, Sooks! And that weird Midguard kid - I didn't get yo' name. Uh...sorry.

But you guys said you wanna learn to skate and I'm in a skatin' mood.

Meet me at the B-Dome in twenty!

And any other dudes who wanna skate or learn ta' skate, you can come, too. B-Dome's got the boards, you just gotta bring yo' own self.

Aight, Beat out.

[Action]
As promised, Beat is at the Battledome about twenty minutes later, punching in the simulation needed for a big skateboard park with its own skateboards and everything. He has his, of course, and his brow is furrowed, not out of concentration, but for trying to not think about something for once. He never thought he'd have this problem.

Well, if you got the heart, you can do it! Jus' gotta be ready for a couple a' bumps an' bruises on the way, yo.

[etudes]

[ she's actually poking her chest - at the spot where her heart should be - as she listens to this.. does she have the heart?! ]

T-they won't be big bumps though, right..?

[skaterbrain]

When you startin' you're gonna need some pads an' a helmet, but I bet we can find 'em at the store.

But if you ain't willing to take a couple bumps, then skatin' might not be your thing, yo. I've crashed so many times I can't count 'em no more. [He laughs, remembering some awful ones.]

[etudes]

.. Hmm.. I think Ikki-kun might get worried if I get too many bumps. I wouldn't want to worry him.. [ Yeah, she's not even scared about the bruises themselves, apparently. ]

[skaterbrain]

Huh? Who's Ikki? Yo' brother?

[etudes]

Ikki-kun's my boyfriend, of course. [ THERE'S NOTHING "OF COURSE" ABOUT THAT, KOTOMI.. ]

[akdf;ja;dk;aj;a]

!!

O-oh. Uh.....yeah aight.

[A W K W A R D]

Uh............................................................................................


Maybe you should ask 'im first then. 'Cause I ain't gonna get punched just 'cause you fell over, cool?

[etudes]

[ Yeah, good idea, Beat.. especially since Ikki is pretty prone to violence to begin with. ]

.. Okay. I'll ask him if it's okay, and.. if it is, then I can go skateboarding with you sometime, right?

[skaterbrain]

Yeah! Jus' gotta get scary boyfriend permission first. [He's laughing at his own non-joke there]
