Are any of you familiar with the legend of the Dragon's Gate? They say that there exists a huge waterfall running off a great mountain. Fish swim upstream against the harsh current, but most tire out and are swept away. But those who have the courage to persist and make it to the top of the waterfall are transformed into a beautiful, powerful dragon.
It's a good lesson, isn't it?
That's right! Even though this school has countless obstacles and hurdles and dangers looming quite literally right over our heads, if we give up, we too will be pushed back and will make no progress! We must press on through the unforgiving current, and when we make it, we will come out stronger than ever! All right! Let's do our best to reach the top!!
[What brought this up? Is someone trying to keep himself from going nuts at the idea of one last year here... probably.]
On another note... There are many Pokemon and trainers here, so if anybody has any advice on raising a Magikarp, I'm all ears!
[Ah. Ah. That's it.
ACTION TIMES: Kiyotaka can be found bonding with an ugly fish he lets swim in a kiddie pool out in the stadium some days. Most of the time he can be found studying. Livin' on the edge. Although whatever he's doing, he seems to be favouring his left arm a little.]

Do you know what is meant by that?

[ Vivian looks back to Mr. Carp. ]
Goals... And keeping... uhm, an eye on them? Watch them. [ SHE ISN'T SURE HOW TO SAY WHAT SHE WANTS TO SAY god ]
no subject
It means to always know what you're aiming for, so you can ensure every step that you take is in the right direction! Otherwise, you go every which way with nothing in mind, waiting to see where you end up... Wasting time and effort for something you're not even sure you want.
But it... isn't always easy to keep your goals in sight.

[ She sighs, a soft giggle tumbling off her tongue.
She looks a little guilty, like what she is about to say is a confession to a major crime. ]
I don't know what my end is, Taka. But... [ She pauses, seeming to zone out on her words. Hold the phone. Is she actually being... shy? ]
no subject
[He might be bad at reading people in general, but when he's as close to someone as he is in Vivian, he can pick up on subtleties a lot more easily - even if he can't always interpret them. Something is up, he knows that much. It's a look that makes him think of normally well-behaved students caught skipping class.]

Rather suddenly she swiped water at his face from the pool, tightening her lips together with a small whimper. ]
Ah - ! [ She.. uh...
oops. ]
no subject
[OH GREAT a faceful of fish water. He sputters a bit and just kind of stares at her, unimpressed. Whatever she was going to say, it's clearly not going to happen, is it.]
What was that for?
no subject
It... on its own...! [ She looked down at her soaked hand, watching the light reflect off her skin. She curled her fingers into a fist, not too tight but holding onto whatever made her lash out like that. ] I'm sorry. [ She got to her feet. ]
I'll go to my room.
no subject
[That's about as good as a detention. It seems extreme, but really, splashing him so violently like that was uncalled for in the first place. It would be one thing if she was doing it in some kind of playful way, but that was definitely some kind of lashing out.
The question is... is she bothered by something? Going through hormonal changes (it was about that time, or something, right)?
Or was it a bit of her previous programming peeking through?]
no subject
[ She couldn't even look at him as she quickly dashed away. After all, she didn't know how to explain what happened. Just that it did. What she wanted to say?
'I hope you're there when I arrive.'
But why couldn't she say that? ]
