Fifth Game
[1] [The Initial Results of Therapy]
[its surprising what a little therapy can do for a person. Admittedly while Leos definitely was flagged for a motherlode of issues, he was getting better after his first two sessions and it showed a little bit. He seemed a little brighter, a little happier than usual. Something about his smile felt... more right. Either way he hummed to himself as he set to work.]
[Among some of the advice given to him by his therapists, was for him to start again on a talent he had left to the side in his blind charge for revenge. As such he seemed to travel between Sakihama, Alhambra and Star Rose quite a bit and always with the tools he needed. Sometimes it was several papers, a sketchbook and several pencils and sticks of charcoal. Other times it was an easel, some canvas and paints. All the time he also carried a pack of pudding, because really... did you expect him NOT to? He sighs softly with... ease? Satisfaction?]
[Whatever the case, Leos work was surprisingly good as he worked his magic on his art. His hands moving in practiced motions as his eyes took in his chosen subject as it came to life on his medium. He paused, regarding his work with a small smile.]
It's feels like its almost been forever since I could just get my mind onto doing this again... its... nice...
[He wiped the bridge of his nose, leaving a small smudge on it.]
[2] [Training]
[On the other hand, while Leos managed to do pretty well in his therapy and get some peace of mind...]
I got it! I got it! I got iiiit-
[His basic training wasn't going as smoothly. Case in point as he was 'shot down' in the training exercise. Either a Mock Battle or a Simulation, he still was taken down pretty roughly. Still, at least it was better than how he turned out in the engagement against the Wulgaru. And a bit better than the first two tries he had earlier in the day]
I don't got it...
[He slumps in his chair with a dazed look on his face.]
[3]
[All the while as the above two moments happen, Leos' handler watches with an unreadable look on her face. But what's odd is that she wasn't alone this time as she judged every moment that passed.]
I suppose this is progress. Somewhat.
Hey, I'd take every little victory we can get and then some. Its kind of an uphill battle here, but at the very least we're breaking some ground right?
Maybe. However if all else fails-
[Her companion have her a slight grimace before shaking his head.]
Lets not touch that subject with a fifty foot pole and leave it where it is Lana. Right now I'm happy with what I'm seeing, and I'll make sure the old coots don't give you and Leos too much trouble.

no subject
For your first question, yes. Keep a clear intention and before you deviate from any plans make sure you at least mention it so others are aware of the issue. Sometimes you can't wait for proper backup but that way someone can still potentially cover you and you won't get as lost in the craziness of combat.
As for the second question, it's the "Eight Minutes of Death", the average life expectancy of a pilot when flying missions against the BETA. I'm actually one of the lucky ones as are most of the other UG pilots because of Seta's special traits that we did not have any losses in our first fight. VG, Tarisa, and Stella aren't so lucky so be a little more discreet about discussing it with them.
no subject
[Leos flinched a little when Seta was brought up, the raven looking tremendously uncomfortable.]
Lieutenant Yuuya sir? You and your friends are a lot braver than I am... I don't know if I'd be able to fight those things again... Even if I do get help its just...
[They scare the living daylights out of him. His nightmares used to be full of Nineball, now they were shared with BETA, or Nineball being huge and made of several BETA along with machinery.]
no subject
Not to mention the hypnotic reinforcement, but don't want to freak the kid out anymore.
As for being braver then you I'm not so sure about that, when you saw what happened you got angry and fought, do you know how many people freeze up or run away? Even I was scared with it being my first actual combat against them that wasn't a simulation. That's where the vets come in like the rest of my flight. We just need to temper that aggression into a more stable and less destructive form.
Just keep working like we have been here and with your therapy and you'll be doing better before you know it. Now are you about ready for the next round Leos, let's see if you can take what happened last time and turn this around.
[Yuuya begins to re-enter the sim pod before stopping to speak once more.]
Oh yeah, you can drop the Lieutenant part as well, I've never been one to stand on rank with other pilots. Uppity maintenance crew is another story though, but I'll tell that story another time.
no subject
[Leos seems to be a bit more pumped up for this, looks like some positive encouragement worked wonders as he leaped back into the sim pod and was ready for another go!]
This time for sure...!
