It's okay. I'm sorry you never met him.

[fossils]

FROM: rogers.steve@cdc.org

Thanks. I think I turned out okay.

[ A delay between messages: ]

FROM: rogers.steve@cdc.org

How're you getting along with your cell?

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

Well enough. I knew most of them already.

_{[Which had been a blessing.]}

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

Actually...I was wondering if I could ask for some advice?

[fossils]

FROM: rogers.steve@cdc.org

Sure. What's up?

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

When Armada promoted me to Cell Point I asked him how I can better myself to help others. He told me to:

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

"Learn to fight something much larger than yourself. Learn how to use your size."

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

"Learn to out maneuver your enemy with yourself and your cell."

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

And to "Use your Juggernaut to your advantage."

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

But...I don't know where to start. With any of it.

[fossils]

FROM: rogers.steve@cdc.org

You maybe could start by getting everyone together, see what their strengths and weaknesses are. How you each can complement each other in the field.

FROM: rogers.steve@cdc.org

You all have the same Juggernaut type, have you been using it much?

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

That would be a good idea. We could all get to know each other a bit better too that way.

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org


Ah...I haven't really. Not that much.

[fossils]

FROM: rogers.steve@cdc.org

Not a bad place to start either. You could try asking Mikasa or Tony.

[ Both had expressed interest in teaching last time. ]

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

...Would Stark-san get mad if I screw up?

[fossils]

FROM: rogers.steve@cdc.org

No. He's actually pretty good with this sort of thing.

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

I'll ask him then.

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

...Rogers-san how do people become brave?

[forevalone]

_{[There's a small nod as Shinji moves to swipe out of the previous menu, this time scrolling through titles of songs that Ciel would have no hope of reading, all of their titles written in Japanese.]}

This is a song using traditional Japanese instruments.

_{[Which Ciel will probably find less offensive than the Spice Girls. He selects one and lets it play out for the other boy to hear. The instruments will certainly sound foreign as will the scale patterns. Whether or not he'll find it unpleasant is yet to be seen.]}

[alittlemaster]

[Oh. Well. Actually.

This is marginally better than the Spice Girls (in his opinion), but he still isn't hugely familiar with the style of music. It reminds him, almost, in a way, of the instrument Soma sometimes attempted to play for him. The sound is different, of course, yet perhaps in the same family.

If it's Japanese, as Shinji says, then there's no surprise it would sound like something from India; the two regions are relatively close... kinda.

After a moment:] This is better.

How're Tsuna and Guy?

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

Cecil-san said he's okay. I haven't heard back from Sawada-kun yet. _{[Or Terra for that matter...]}

[2leftfeet]

FROM: shepard.lydia@cdc.org

Have you pinged Tsuna's ID tracker?

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

No...but I'm going to go over to medical soon to check if he's there.

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

That's where most people seem to be ending up.

[2leftfeet]

FROM: shepard.lydia@cdc.org

Good. Let me know his status when you find out.

FROM: shepard.lydia@cdc.org

Have you talked to Branford?

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

I will.

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

I'm still waiting to hear from Terra-san too.

[2leftfeet]

FROM: shepard.lydia@cdc.org

She's fine. But you should still talk to her personally

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

I'm glad she's okay.

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

Well I did send her a message...I just don't think she's seen it.

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

Unless you meant face to face?

[2leftfeet]

FROM: shepard.lydia@cdc.org

Face to face never hurts. People tell you more in person

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

If she'll see me, I'll talk to her.

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

...How are you, Shepard-san?

[2leftfeet]

FROM: shepard.lydia@cdc.org

Better than anyone on that list

FROM: shepard.lydia@cdc.org

Do you need anything?

[forevalone]

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

A heart transplant. I feel like mine is going to give out.

FROM: ikari.shinji@cdc.org

No, I'm okay. I'm just worried.
