I - [728 Anderson - morning]
[GUESS WHO GOT A PACKAGE?! Yup. It's still sitting out on the front step, because it's huge as hell and Kotomi can't seem to actually get it inside. She tries pulling it, pushing it, even tying a rope around it and trying to tug it along, but it's just too damn heavy.]

II - [action, hair stylist's]
[If you happen to be in the area, you might spot Kotomi walking out of the hair stylist's building. With her hair cut short, emulating the style she wore as a child. To anyone who's only recently met her, or is just meeting her now, it probably doesn't seem too out of the ordinary. But to those of you who know her, it probably seems very odd, seeing as her hair once fell down to her thighs--and she made sure to take immaculate care of it.]

III - [phone, evening]
[filtered AWAY FROM: Nadeko Sengoku, Madoka Kaname, Minato Arisato, RED Engineer, & Touma Kamijou]

[It took her long enough to figure out how to make a filter as specific as that. Tech wasn't exactly her game. But once she did, she breathed a sigh of relief. At least no one she really cared about would be hearing this.]

I'd like for someone to teach me how to fight. Or even just defend myself.

I can't do magic. I don't have superhuman strength or speed. But...I'm a quick learner. If that helps.

Thank you to anyone who can help me with this.

Learn to defend yourself? What kind of defending do you want to do?

Physical defense. As in, if I am ever attacked I may have a chance to get out.

Oh, something like that? Well... I might be able to help a bit with something like that! I'm Vivio, by the way!

You don't need any of those things to become a warrior!

Perhaps not a 'warrior' exactly...

You could still learn a few things from someone who is one! All you need is yourself if you wish to learn to fight.

[Guess who's walking down the street? Engie's woken up to find that the sapper on his back has disappeared, so at least he's not likely to collapse on the pathway anymore. The metal wings stubbornly refuse to go, but Engie's pretty optimistic, so he's actually got a small smile on his face. When he sees Kotomi, he'll stop and wave.]

Mornin' Miss Kotomi. How're ya doin'?

[She stops, gazing down at her hands for a moment. As if seeing him will somehow trigger them to go missing again. When she confirms that yes, they are still there, she waves back.]

Better.

You doin' ok? I see ya got yer hair cut.

You don't need superhuman strength or speed or even magic to learn how to fight or defend yourself.

That is...what I hope is true. That is why I am asking.

[PRIME TROLLING OPPORTUNITY]

What if I gave you something that could fill in the difference between your abilities and theirs?

[Nooooo.....]

What might that be?

Whatever you want it to be.

Self-defense? I think I can handle that.

Ahh, really? Thank you, Tir-san...

It's no problem, ha ha. Maybe you can start showing up for the morning workouts Tatsuki and I do?

I could help you. However, I am afraid I might be too harsh of a trainer.

[Though she used magic to augment her skills, her style could potentially be learned by a non-magic user.]

[She audibly gulps.]

I-I...might very well have to deal with harshness if I want to succeed.

Alright, I understand.

[She would not hold back then.]

What is your name?

[ Just a normal day, the whole being droned thing was sort of unsettling but let's forget about that, just taking a walk and-- ... wait, there's.. something about that girl.. ... what. ]

A-ah..! Um, hi! [ Quickly pattering up to Kotomi SUP BIFFLE. ] What happened to your hair..?!

Ahhh...I got it cut. [Welcome to Kotomi Logic.]

[ Her body was not ready. ]

A-ah, yes, that's true, but.. out of nowhere? I r-really liked your longer hair..

Well I've done some martial arts before. I could probably give you some pointers.

Oh? Really?
