[Written] It's been awhile...

[unlikelyfarmhand]

 I've been here awhile. Do you think people at home miss you?

I mean, I wonder if my friends miss me.

My dad said that

I know I didn't know them very long but I was glad to have them. They were so nice and welcoming. I miss school and having things to study. I miss my friends...even my stupid brother. I guess I'm feeling a little homesick. I mean, it's been awhile since animals have tried to chew on me. Who knew I'd miss that?

This place is really dangerous for someone like me. We had a fight with the Navy and I was completely useless. I was scared then. I've been scared here a lot. What am I supposed to do in a situation like that?

Ah, I'm sorry for disturbing everyone by writing out my thoughts.

That makes sense. It's a lot like how we treat animals at school.

[The kids are seen as slaves to the animals, pretty much]

I don't really have any experience in fighting much, but I am pretty strong now physically. I can run and I have a lot of endurance after the last few months at school. Can you recommend something that would be suited to me?

[Guh this takes a lot of thinking.]

[Marco hasn't ever even met someone who hasn't had to grow up fighting five times a day just to survive and get to where he is. To get to a martial arts level would take decades and there just isn't that time. Even swordfighting is impractical. And Marco knows shit-all about guns because he lets Curiel and Izou handle it, but that gives him an idea.]

Cannons?

There's a of strength involved, especially in the blowback, and depending on the size, you have to be strong just to aim it properly. There are even some fancier handheld cannons that are a bitch to aim, but they can do a fuckton of damage in combat.

That might be something I can do. I'll talk to my Captain about it.

Thank you very much for your help!
