I2DT: Simulated

[Charles Franklin]

It seemed that after a couple of incidents involving Charles and frightened people that Charles had finally gotten the hint to train indoors where it was far less likely he'd be attacked by crazed teachers wielding cricket bats. He was indecisively looking through the menu of simulations dressed in his one piece shifting uniform.

"Looking for a warm-up?" Carlos said, seeing someone already at the D/R controls.

[Charles Franklin]

"Trying to," Charles said, "Whole lot of programs and they don't really seem that different, eh."

[Carlos Vasquez]

"Yeah, it's all a matter of degrees, really. What are you trying to work on?"

[Charles Franklin]

"I guess you could call it creativity," Charles said, "Trying to find new shapes, or body parts really, to solve problems or maybe how to land properly because that really is the most difficult part of flying."

[Carlos Vasquez]

"Oh, flying, huh? Seems fairly simple enough--you just need something high to jump off of, and something low to land on."

[Charles Franklin]

"Just add wind and angry teachers with cricket bats when you find the wrong low thing to land on," Charles smiled. "You here to use this place to punch things?"

[Carlos Vasquez]

"Mostly. It'll do, in absence of live fire."

[Charles Franklin]

"What? Like with real guns?" Charles asked sounding a bit surprised.

[Carlos Vasquez]

"Well, not normally. I suppose it is only an expression.

But there is no real danger here. Which means it can only go so far to helping you learn."

[Charles Franklin]

"Yeah, I guess," Charles said, "Better than throwing my first punch ever on a mission though, right?"

[Carlos Vasquez]

"Probably. If your first punch is intended to hurt someone, it will be you who ends up being hurt."

[Charles Franklin]

"Then I guess I should be happy that I heal really fast, eh?" Charles smiled.

[Carlos Vasquez]

"That's probably for the best, though that's probably cold comfort in the actual moment you're getting your butt kicked."

[Charles Franklin]

"Sounds like you're pretty experienced with this sort of thing, eh," Charles said.

[Carlos Vasquez]

"I've been training for a little bit, I suppose. I'm not half-bad," he grinned.

[Charles Franklin]

"That's the look of somebody before they take you for all you're worth, eh," Charles smiled.

[Carlos Vasquez]

"Pretty much, pretty much."

[Charles Franklin]

"Best person to learn the game from," Charles said, "Not that you need to or anything just a comment about the whole thing."

[Carlos Vasquez]

"If you want to try something together, I"m more than happy to."

[Charles Franklin]

"Be nice to try something with somebody else," Charles said, "Good practice for doing stuff as a team, right?"

[Carlos Vasquez]

"Absolutely. I'll be more than happy to help."
