[unfortunately, this isn't a promising answer.]

Chance mostly. And then we beat the guys doing the controlling. There were eight of us and all of our partners so we just had to work together.

[he's leaving out a huge chunk of the story, but hey, it works.]

[ercnerd]

There are more of us this time around. Our chances are looking pretty good, don't you think?

[goalsides]

I'd hope so. They'd be even better if we could guarantee the numbers stay the same. That's why I'm trying to tell people everything we're learning as we're learning it.

[ercnerd]

Mm. It doesn't help to be secretive here. You never know what will happen to you.

[goalsides]

...kind of terrifying to think about when you put it that way, Sieghart.

[ercnerd]

That's the reality of the situation. If you're lucky, you'll get out of whatever happens with just a bad leg.

[goalsides]

If only we could all be so fortunate. [though...] Try to take it easy anyway.

[ercnerd]

I already am!

You should take it easy when you can, too; otherwise, all that running around is going to wear you out.

[goalsides]

I'm used to running, remember? I don't know if sitting still is right for me anyway.

[ercnerd]

You kids don't know how to stay still and relax.

Well, it's fine as long as you don't run yourself ragged.

[goalsides]

Someone's gotta do it if other people won't, right? It's not so bad.

[he will drop dead someday and still believe that.]

But I won't.

[ercnerd]

Then have a little something before you go.

[He grabs an apple off of his plate and holds it out to Taichi.]

Here.

[goalsides]

[...hah. he will take the apple.]

Thanks, man. [he does appreciate it, so don't mind him taking a bite of it.] I should get going though. I'll catch up with you later?

[ercnerd]

[He nods as he turns his attention back to his plate.]

Yeah, sure. I'll see you then. Be on your way and let me eat in peace, now.
