@ketximq; video; Day 164

[mightyratslayer]

Hey, man. I heard some shit went down in the aquarium the other day. You alright?

Charlie! Hi!

[Excuse how out of breath he sounds. He and Davesprite did quite a bit of running.]

The aqua--Oh. Yeah, I'm okay, I promise. Things got really tense but thankfully no one got hurt.

[mightyratslayer]

[Phew. Okay. He trusts Sora's word. Maybe more than he trusts anyone else's account of what happened. He likes Sora, and Sora has no reason to lie.]

Good, good. Glad to hear everyone's all right. Sorry you had to get involved in all that.

[The whole stupid thing could've been avoided if Charlie had just kept his mouth shut. He did specifically tell Charles not to go after Bucky, though. He did his part. But still.]

[seekthelight]

[He wouldn't lie about something like what happened. Maybe..leave out a few details had it gotten really bad but he wouldn't lie.]

It's alright. It's no one's fault. I'm glad I was there just in case things did get out of hand.

[And then he can't help but sigh.]

Even if everyone thinks I'm just some weak kid.

[mightyratslayer]

What? Who thinks that? [Charlie frowns.] As far as I'm concerned, nobody around here is weak, man. Hell, you've been stuck here longer than me. You're plenty tough, I bet.

[Sora is kind of a scrawny kid, as far as he remembers, but... Charlie means what he's saying regardless.]

[seekthelight]

A lot of people and I get it--I understand why they would think that. I just wish they wouldn't assume that I hadn't..that I don't know what I'm doing.

[Sure he makes mistakes but he always figures it out in the end!

Usually.]

[mightyratslayer]

Yeah, yeah. I get what you're saying. [And he can relate. A lot of people think Charlie doesn't know what he's doing, either.] You just gotta like, prove them wrong, I figure.

[He's not sure how exactly Sora should do that, but, well. One step at a time.]

[seekthelight]

That's what I've been trying to do. I just want to help--I want people to let me help instead of telling me to back off and play it safe.

[mightyratslayer]

Yeah, yeah, I get that. Seems like there's a lotta people around here like that, huh? People that think they're the only ones who are capable of stuff.

[seekthelight]

Yeah there's a lot of people like that...and I guess I can be like that too but I...I just wish we could all work together. It'd make things a lot easier.

[mightyratslayer]

Totally, dude. Totally. [Sora knows what's up, which is exactly why people should give him more credit.]

Like, if it was every man for himself, we'd all be pretty fucked, right? Me and my gang back home, we had this like, system, I guess you could call it, where all of us had a set, like, role, y'know? Mac's the brains, Dennis is the looks, Frank is the muscle, and uhh... Can't remember what Dee was... A girl? Whatever. Point is, maybe we just need one of those systems for here, too. That way everyone can have their own thing and nobody gets to be in charge of the whole operation.

[seekthelight]

We had that sort of thing too! I mean, designated roles! Goofy was defense, Donald was magic, and I was the attacker! That's how we handled fights and it always worked out for us!

[Most of the time. Donald was...a pain.]

If we could set up some sort of system where some people were supply collectors, some people worked on the exploration part--stuff like that, we could get a lot more stuff done I bet!

[mightyratslayer]

Whoa, seriously? [Magic??? Awesome, but Charlie hadn't pegged Sora as an attacker. Maybe this is what he meant by people falsely assuming that he's weak. Whoops. He won't question it, though.] Sweet, dude. That sounds like a pretty solid three-man system.

[It also makes it sound like Sora was the leader, which is double neat, and makes even more sense once Sora makes his suggestion. Not bad, kid.]

Huh. Hey, I think you're onto something there. That's a good idea. 'Cause that's been a little bit of a problem, right? Getting supplies into those new places?

[seekthelight]

Yeah! It worked really well! And sometimes, when we were visiting different worlds, different people we met there would join our party as well to help out!

[He'd seen a lot of cool battle styles because of it.]

It seems like it. I know a lot of people were trying to get supplies to the tunnels especially. But if we had people that specifically did that sort of thing, we could make sure they never ran into any issues!
