[ Daegal picks up the phone and calls Yamasaki-sensei. He likely has to put in an area code with this, but that's okay. After two rings, someone picks up; it's Mr. Yamasaki. "Hello. Yamasaki martial arts academy, how may I help you?" ] 'ey Sensei. [ "Ah, Daegal, hello! Where have you been? I have not seen you in many days?" ] Yeah, sorry about that... meant to call sooner, but I got caught up in stuff. Long story short... I ran into a girl my age while I was trashin' some mook. Turns out she has powers too... She told me about a school she was goin' to where they taught people to use their powers'n stuff, so I figured I'd give it a look. [ "Ah, I see. A wise decision, Daegal. What is this school?" ] s'a place where kids like me can figure out how the hell we can start glowing, and figure out how to use the powers to help people. They're trainin' me to be a freakin' superhero. I got to meet Spiderman a few days ago! [ "Fascinating! I assume this is all to your liking?" ] s'interesting, yeah. Gotten my nose broken twice already. You were right about me needin' to stop wearin' white shirts. [ "*chuckle* Twice? Have you been making trouble?" ] Trouble? Me? Nah... once was during trainin'. They have this really cool holographic training room... got my ass kicked, but won. Then some psycho with a mullet attacked the school, but me'n the other kids opened up a can of whupass on him. [ "Ah, I see. Well, I am glad that you are not starting any fights, at least." ] * Daegal chuckles. "C'mon, sensei. You know I don't just beat on people for no reason... only the bad guys. And mimes. And Jehovah's Witnesses. And Amway salespeople..." [ *Sigh*"Daegal, Daegal. I have told you many times, fight only to defend." ] ... I know, Sensei. I know. Just... I dunno. You know how my temper is. 'sides, fighting's all I know. s'what I do. [ "Yes, your temper. Perhaps they can help you with that, too? Or at least teach you something other than fighting. But nevermind; it is good that you seek to learn about your powers, and I hope this new school can help you." ] Maybe, maybe not. Can you imagine me as a calm guy? It'd be downright freaky. Never been able to do that meditation stuff. [ "Perhaps. Although Riku has better imagination than I do; perhaps she can." He chuckles. ] Hey, speakin' of Riku, how's the kid doin'? [ "She is doing well, although she has been worried about you, as well. When she is back home, I shall tell her you are well. Perhaps she could call you?" ] Yeah, 'course. *gives him the number* [ "Very good. It is good to hear from you, Daegal. I hope this new school treats you well." ] If they don't, I'll use the ol' Testicular Claw on 'em. [ *chuckle*"You are kidding, of course?" ] * Daegal whistles. o/~ [ "Right. I will trust you not to misuse the master technique of our school." ] 'course not, Sensei. *clears throat* The power of the Testicular Claw should only be unleashed in the most dire of circumstances. [ "Exactly," says Yamasaki-Sensei, missing any sarcasm that may have been there. ] I'll save it for when I meet the Red Skull. Sound good? [ "...I suppose." ] Coo'. Good talkin' to ya, Sensei. I'll try ta get back to Red Hook sometime soon... let the cops know I'm not dead or anythin', 'kay? [ "I will. I am sure it will be a relief. Take care of yourself, Daegal." ] Will do, Sensei. And gimme a call if anything comes up at the guys can't handle on their own. [ "I shall." ] Night Sensei. [ "Good night, Daegal." *click* ] * Daegal puts down the phone. "... geez. The hell'm I gettin' into?" *sighs; shakes head* [ Minisession End. ^_^ ]
