Day 338 | Audio // Action | Open
[ Audio ]

Hi again!
I’ve already explored most of the prison and it’s only been two---[pause, give him a second]-three days? It’s not as big as I thought but easy enough to get around. I also managed to find a decent fishing rod thanks to you, Yen, but it doesn’t quite have the same feeling as the one I’m use to. But it’s still better than nothing!


I wanted to ask! If I break something at Athletic Complex or anywhere else...would that count as property damage? That’s one of the reasons I got sent here so I don’t want to get in trouble. [For now anyway. He laughs sheepishly.]
If I punch too hard, I think I'll break the equipment, even if it's made for punching!

Oh!
Harukkaaaaaaaaa! [Because cheerfully yelling someone’s name over open comm makes them more likely to hear you...]
Thanks for the advice. The beach is really nice and the apartment I found is great!


[ Action ]

[ Speaking of the beach, that’s primarily where the young Hunter has been spending his time. Staying too the far right end, Gon had spent most of yesterday evening and this morning on it’s warm sand. The only times he had actually really left the area was to grab food (so much spaghetti~), water or for other necessary bodily needs. He had even took to sleeping there last night instead of bothering to go home to his newly claimed apartment but hey, nothing beat sleeping under the ‘stars’. ]

[A number of sticks of various heights stuck up from the sand. Each one was piercing an apple that was placed atop, symbolizing some sort of target. It was very similar to a practice he had done during the Hunter Exam, only this time it was purely to get a feel for the fishing rod he found. It was more delicate than the one he was use to but it still did what he wanted it to do, for the most part. With a brief moment to aim, he would give a strong swing to quickly to cast the line. The hook and its heavy bobber then collided with the target of choice. A flick of the wrist, sharp pull of the line and the apple was soon in his hands. This continued for a good few hours. Between hitting targets, readjusting and moving targets for more difficult skill shots and just overall pondering on what he wanted to do next...Gon seemed pretty content keeping himself occupied until his question was answered.]

[Ripping the last target off the stick that was a good distance away, he looked over the metal rod thoughtfully as he caught the apple in his right hand]


Not as rusty as I thought....but not amazing either. This rod feels pretty weak compared to mine...I hope I don’t break it. [Sighing a bit, he unhooked the apple and plopped down in the sand.]

Hi Yen! [yes his smile is totally audible.]

Mmmm... [Thoughtful] I've never really came across a wood that strong. It works really good for fishing but not for other stuff.

Lashing several rods together?

Well, certainly! If one cannot handle the job, perhaps their combined strength can!

[Wait. Wait. Yen backs up the conversational truck.]

What "other stuff" would you use a rod for?

That does make sense. I've never really used more then one...-

You can use a rod for a lot of stuff! It's not bad to defend yourself with or grab things from a distance. It's a lot of fun. [Though he'd much rather rely on his fist, but without Nen....the rod was good for now.]

To defend yourself?! [She may not be visible, but she is flinching so hard right now.] Yeow!

Now, grabbing things—there's a use I'd never thought of before!

You'd be surprised, Yen! It may not work as well as your staff but I am good with it. But...I like hand-to-hand better. More fun!

[He chuckles a bit]
Mmn! It just takes a good aim and practice!

[She finds herself rubbing over her scarred eye.]

Brutal! I'll take the hand-to-hand any day.

Yet this convinces me even more! Lash more rods to the rod. Or, I suppose, in a more realistic approach, you could find a way to reinforce what you have. Hmm... have you seen those parasols, with the metal ribbing?

I wouldn't say brutal... How good at fighting are you without your Staff though?

[He pauses thoughtfully for a moment.] I think I know what you're talking about. You really think using one of those would work?

Eh. Not terribly, I admit. Still, a left hook is better than a- left hook! [It's joke, because her left eye is partially-blinded, but it's not one she even bothers explaining.]

It can't hurt to try! They're easy to find, and if it fails, well, no harm done!

That's good... [But her joke..is lost] Huh?

[It takes him a moment to respond. The joke still tumbling in his head. Yeah. Not getting it.]

T-That's true! Good idea, Yen!

Thank you! [She seems pleased and like the joke never happened.]

If that doesn't work... well, we've all sorts of resources at our disposal! You need only get creative!

Why not show me your melee skills, sometime? It would be my pleasure to see!

I'll try it. Definitely!

I'm...not as good as I use to be, but sure! [perks] Anytime you want!
