Day 207 [Video] Early Evening

[The feed opens up with a close up of Helix's face and he's looking past the camera to someone else, who's holding the device.]

Okay, back up. [They comply and the view reveals that the teen is sitting at a piano.]

How's this?

[Some of you might recognize the soft, southern drawl as Aidan behind the communicator.

Helix nods and breaths deep before settling down on the bench, fingers hovering over the keys. He should probably address everyone and tell them what he's doing, but he thinks it's pretty obvious. So instead, he just starts playing this beautiful piece.

A certain Noah broke his wrist the other day but it seems to be working perfectly now. And when he's finished he closes his eyes, breathes out once more as if coming out of a meditative trance and turns to retrieve his communicator from Aidan.]

That's it. Punishment fulfilled. Carry on.

[And the feed is shut off.]

	[Small smile.] Thanks. I uh, I fought an Armored Aardvark in Sector 6. [Yeah he's one of those guys.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...Seriously? What's with that? You can't possibly be that bored in a place with a movie theater and an ice rink and flying kiss-bots. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[A look goes here.]

Considering all of that, aside from the movie theater--which doesn't play anything I know, have heard of or am really interested in, half the time--yeah, I get bored easy.

I used to fight in underground rings back home. I like it and I miss it, and I don't exactly have any buddies here that are interested in arranging a fight club or something.

	I... [wow. Okay. She did not see this guy as that sort of badass. But she'll just tweak her worldview as needed.] Do you know my friend Derek? He's a Judo instructor. Maybe not your ball of wax, but hey, beggars and choosers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Definitely that sort of badass for a teenage punk. He can't help but to chuckle a little when she mentions Derek.] I'm pretty sure that guy doesn't like or trust me enough. Course if he did step up to the challenge at least I know I might get a good fight out of him. That's the trouble with people that care, they hold back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah well, you can't build trust by never talking to someone. Or... fighting them I guess, if that's your chosen method of male bonding. [The last statement as her frowning, just a little.] You say that like it's a flaw. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is if you're trying to get stronger or improve yourself. There's no room for going easy on someone in a spar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm no expert, but I think you can not go easy and also avoid hurting someone. There's ways to be safe without totally pulling your punches -- or at least I've never seen Derek really hurt anyone and he's always training Academy newbies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, yeah? But if you pull your punches too much your body doesn't really get a chance to condition itself to take the blows either. Or, on the flip-side, you're too busy trying not to hurt your friend that when it comes to the real deal your punch doesn't pack the power it needs cause you're so used to holding back.

Look. I'm used to fighting for my life, so I gotta spar someone who can handle it. That's all. And the challenge is more exciting.

[JUUUuuuust a bit of a masochist okay.]

	Fair enough. But I still think if you confuse caring for weakness you're underestimating people, and that could get you hurt too. I'm just sayin'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Caring is a weakness. [And there it is.] Honestly, you can never know what people are capable of until you're in the thick of it. But I know what I can handle and I know how to handle myself. [Though he does underestimate people at times, just as they underestimate him and he uses it against them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well if caring is a weakness, then I'm just a big ball o' weak. And honestly, that's okay with me. I'd rather be weak and care about people. I'm glad you can handle things though. This is a scary place for a weakling like me. [grin] (Reply to this) (Parent)
