Entry 54 (Rivar)

Dear Diary

I met an amazing man today. His name is Rivar Vail, and he's a dewott. I'll start from the beginning so I don't get too off track gushing over him. When I met him, I didn't make a very good impression... I was getting over the sceptile incident, and I was hiding in the closet when Zar'roc brought him to my room to meet me. I was crying to myself and scared of him...but he was patient with me and waited for Zar'roc to calm me down a bit and lay beside me. I always feel safer when Zar'roc is with me. I mean, I asked some odd questions as well...I asked him if he felt safe. He said he never felt safe, and he expected the unexpected these days, and then he asked me me if I felt safe. I do...with daddy, but he's not always there for me, and I sometimes I fail when he counts on me. He asked me my age, I said I was 12, and then he told me a little about himself. He's 22, and been through three years of intensive training, and kids shouldn't be put in life-threatening situations. I protested a bit, but then he asked me if I wanted to be a hero. I was surprised, but I said yes. Then he asked me what being a hero means. I told him a hero is someone brave and strong who can stand up to anything. They fight to protect other people. People like them...even if they don't win. He agreed...but his definition was different. I remember every word of it. "That is what I would say in my term...but in another way, a hero is someone who is ready to give their life if it is what it takes to protect others and never back down from it. No matter if they are afraid or not.  But you are at a young age Kaza...you aren't ready for such a thing." Then he patted me on the head. Then I asked if he was a hero. He didn't answer for a while...and he said he didn't think so. He was ready to give his life for others, but he didn't think other people liked him very much. Now that just couldn't be true! It couldn't!  I told him he was a hero! He didn't seem to agree, and said I should focus on myself if I wanted to be a hero. Then daddy started talking with him and said he could be a role model for me. Rivar didn't agree, but after some talking, he said that Zar'roc won and he wouldn't argue the point. Daddy was always great at talking. Then we went over to visit Rivar's house. I rode on Daddy's back. Apparently he had a lot of friends there. Then a guy flew in, a Thomas flew in. I don't really remember his species off the top of my head. A small red and blue bird...needless to say, I was a little intimidated by this stranger. Oh! Rivar knows how to make pancakes also. He made some for me and Zar'roc. Still, Zar'roc teased me a little about wanting to go to Rivar's room...it was nothing like that. Rivar didn't catch on right away, but he did...still, I'm happy he didn't tease me either. I asked him what he does in his spare time, and he says he likes to meditate. I...never tried it before, so he explained it to me. It sounded nice. Thinking about things and calming your mind. It takes a lot of practice to actually do it. After I tried, I asked him if he could teach me. I was happy, but asked why he came to Andalusst. He said it was a bit complicated, and he just wanted a fresh start. We talked some more, and then he started asking about me. Nothing much to report. Zar'roc found me under a tree three years ago, and nowhere near the fog. Nobody in any of the nearby villages had reported a missing child, or had ever seen me. After that, we talked some more, we hugged...he really seems to like me, and I like him too...I don't remember falling asleep, but I must have, because next thing I knew, the sun was a lot lower in the sky, and daddy looked amused. Rivar had put me in his bed. Oh gosh...I didn't wanna inconvenience him...oh well. I'll have to say sorry when we meet again.

Entry 53 (Nikolai 2)

Dear Diary I've been spending more time with Nikolai lately, and I'm starting to think that he likes me. Well, I mean sometimes he smiles, and I can feel some more emotion in his voice. He's growing more comfortable with me, and I'm already fond of him. I already learned some things from him...sometimes when I'm having trouble, he's hold my hands and guide me through it. I suppose he sees me as a kid instead of one of the household masters...and I'm okay with that! I'm starting to see him like a mother, really. He's got...I mean, he doesn't have the gender, but he's got the qualities. I mean, the cleaning, the polite speech, the expert cooking skills...I mean, he knows so many fancy recipes! I suppose that just goes to show you what a castle servant is capable of, or trained to do. I think Nikolai is like a mother....hehehe, well, I won't tell him though. I mean, that just sounds weird. I know what I mean though...motherly. Maybe it's just the training, but I don't know if you can train that sort of touch or feeling...maybe your can, perhaps I'm ignorant. That’s probably really true...oh well. I may ask him to train me like he was trained. I hope he says yes.

Entry 52 (Main task 1)

Dear Diary Oh god, I made such a mess out of everything. I cried, I broke down and cried in the middle of the street! I couldn't help it. I tried my best, I really did, I just couldn't...I couldn't...there were so many people all around...and I was all alone. I was so scared...it worked though, so I guess I did one thing right. Ugh, hold on, I think I'll start...give me a moment. Alright. I'm back again. I'll start from the beginning. Me and Zar'roc were asked to hunt down one of the Ninjas. Zar'roc decided we'd go after the one I wanted to see the very least. The Sceptile. He was the one that watched me perform. He was the fake...the one that lied to everyone and attacked the real Ambassador. Still...we had to take him down. It just makes me so sad...but still, we at least had to find him and try. We talked about it, and I had to think of something. He was strong and fast, and we had information on his fighting style. It was a big help. He knew we'd most likely find him near berry vendors. We went to Market street to see if we could find him, and there we found the girls I had been hoping to see. Makira dna Renira, the riolu and charmander team that had helped us when the great statue attacked. They were looking for the Sceptile also. I was so happy to have them with us. With them, I knew we would be alright. I made a plan, they would go into an alley after we saw him, with space between them. Then I would sneak over to him, teleport him to the alley, and they'd all him at the same time. They'd take him out before he even knew what happened. We found him, and went to an alley...but I was stupid for thinking of this plan, because I forgot one big important detail. I'm a giant coward. I tried my best to get to him, I tried to block out everything as I walked over to him, but it just...couldn't work. I couldn't hold myself together, and I broke down, two feet away from him. He turned around, ready to strike, right before I started sobbing. I don't think he knew who I was though. I grabbed him and cried louder when he tried to get me to stop crying though. He he was, right in front of me, I was holding him in my hands...and I couldn't do anything. It was hopeless, I was hopeless, everything was a giant mess. I don't quite remember how I did it, but I clapped my hands together and took us to the alley. Zar'roc, Makira, and Renira got him. They took the Sceptile to the prison, and I just stayed there with Zar'roc, crying and crying until I finally calmed down. Zar'roc didn't say anything, he just hugged me softly into his chest. Thats all I needed. I love my daddy....goodnight Diary. My eyes are getting wattery again.

Entry 51 (Explorer Task 3)

Dear Diary Today was a day we were asked to dig. Well, I guess I should explain a little first. There's a cave-system under Andalusst, but it's pretty delicate, but we still need to clear out the dirt to make a path to the new dungeon we found, so we needed rock smashers and people who are good at digging. However, we have to be real careful down there for two big reasons. The water in the caves is where Andalusst gets it's fresh water, it's really important that we don't get it dirty! Second off is the Bustershoots. If they are disturbed, they explode. End of story. It's easy to see them though, their red and pointy, and they stick out of the ground. Really sensitive, so never even dig near them, don't even walk close to them. Anyway, Zar'roc and I were paired with a Charmander named Candle or Candlestick. I don't think it was her real name but I didn't really wanna ask. Anyway, it went pretty well, I used Flash to light up the caves and Zar'roc and Candle did the smashing and digging. She's super strong! They found out where they had to dig pretty quickly, it was real impressive. We knew for sure that we'd found the right place when we found a GIANT PAIR of double doors. They were made of metal also. We went back after a little more digging to make sure there was enough space to build an outpost. Cassidy gave us each a bottle of water. Probably not really much of a reward...but the bottle's nice.

Entry 50 (Explorer Task 2)

Dear Diary Today we were asked to help build the Explorers Outpost in the forest at the stump we found. Zar'roc, Pharion, and I went to there and found Luke waiting. He told us that we forgot to pick up the supplies from the forest, like hammers and paint and wood. He didn't want us to use wood from the forest, because it was other pokemon's home, and it wouldn't be nice to just tear it down to make another home, no matter how important it was. Zar'roc and Pharion said they'd get the stuff, but Zar'roc started talking to Luke and told him to rest, because working without the tools would be a waste of energy, and he'd need to be in top form to build the place. This is just a summery of what he said, he is really good at convincing people to do things his way, and eventually Luke agreed. He settled down, and I was left to keep an eye on something. Zar'roc quietly told me that I should play the Ocarina that Gavina taught me how to make. It would help him relax. So when they left, I played a little. It was a very nice sound, very soothing and peaceful. It make me a little sleepy just playing it honestly, but then I looked and Luke and found out he was fast asleep also! I mean...he was super tuckered out. So...I just sat there and watched for a bit, but I was still sleepy also, and there was dangerous things in the forest, so I scooted closer, cause they wouldn't wanna wake him up. But I was still a little worried, so I kept scooting closer and closer until I was right next to him. He was...warm. Warm and softer than I really thought he'd be for such a big strong guy. He didn't have Zar'roc soft fur, but he was...comfortable. I felt around with my hands just to be sure...and then I laid my head down on his stomach. I know I must not have been thinking straight at all by that point, because...oh dear, that could have gone really badly! I mean, thank goodness I woke up before he did. I mean, the moment I put my head down and closed my eyes, I fell right asleep. I don't know how long I was asleep, but when I woke up, Luke was still asleep, and Zar'roc and Pharion had gathered all the wood and supplied from Andalusst, and were watching me and Luke sleep. I was so embarrassed, but they promised not to tell if I slept napped on Pharion's belly also. I said I would...and gave it a little feel also. It was big, warm, soft and fluffy...it's a good belly also. I wouldn't mind taking a nap on it. I guess being a fire type must make him really warm all the time. Next winter, I'll definitely cuddle with him. WAIT NO, that sounded a little strange...oh well, nobody reads this anyway. I guess I'll stop here. Goodnight diary.

Entry 49 (Explorer Task 1)

Dear Diary Today Miss Gavina asked us and another team to go into the Subseed Forest and find the entrance to the dungeon, with our only clue being a hollow stump. It....really wasn't a lot to go on, but I guess the only way to have found it would be to try try again. She did give us a few warnings though. She send us in when all the bug type pokemon were asleep, so that was awful nice of her. She also told us not to go around waking them up, but that was rather obvious. After that she also told us not to go around destroying the forest. I don't see why we would, but I suppose there are some...destructive members in the guild. One last warning was a band of Phantumps were in the forest playing tricks on people that came in. Well...we found it, but there was some trouble. I mean, first I should talk about the nice people that helped us. Suzaku was....really...timid, like me. He was also faster than me though, and neither of us to really...carry out a conversation. Or look at eachother. Murugu was protective and strong, like Zar'roc, only...well, a girl. We did find the Phantumps though, and Zar'roc and Murugu put an end to their games, but then they started attacking! Me and Suzaku ran away, but there were pratfalls in our way. We managed to stay clear of them, or at least not get hurt. There was one Phantump that followed us though, it scared me so bad I almost teared up. Suzaku ran away in an instant though. It said it would help if I answered a trick question. I don't quite remember what it was, or what I answered with, but it must have been strange, because he looked...really confused. He took it and showed us where the stump was, but he just seemed so confused.

Entry 48 (Digi 2)

Dear Diary Ahhhh, I had an unusual day, to say the least! Digi wanted to play with me, but I really didn't know what he wanted to play, so I just said yes and followed him. Turned out to not really be a good idea since he wanted to play 'Adventure' or something like that. Well, turns out it was an actual adventure, we went into the forest outside Andalusst! We didn't find treasure or ruins like he'd hoped for, but it was plenty exciting for my tastes, if a bit much running. We did find a berry bush and a secret spot in the forest though. Maybe we'll go back to it someday. He could....erm....make it a base? No, that sounds silly, and we'd have to get building materials there. Where would we even get them? It's take such a long time...okay, I'm going to stop thinking about a secret base now. Stopping now. Stopping. Not thinking about it anymore. Nope. Not a single thought.

Entry 47 (Errand 5)

Dear Diary Today was another errand for the guild, but I wasn't too...helpful this time. It was everyone working together again, and by everyone I mean me, Zar'roc, Fay, Bian, Digi, and Maran. We had to transport glass. We had an order on how we did it, and Maran and Digi went to go get sand. I mean, it was a heck of a thing really. We....well, we didn't do anything wrong, but there were a lot of clumsy civilians, and despite Bian getting in their way and warning them, almost bumped into the glass and made up drop it. Thank goodness it didn't happen though, and I mean thank goodness!We wouldn't want to cause extra expense by breaking those giant sheets of glass.

Entry 46 (Bian 2)

Dear Diary Well, I asked Bian a few more things, this time I asked about his history. He really doesn't seem to know a lot though, his earliest memories are occasionally clearing up, but he can't make sense of it. Well, most of them anyway, but he's got a lot more questions than answers. I can relate to know knowing your past. He said the earliest clear memory he can recall is when 'woke up' when Fay was shaking him. Apparently, Fay had told him he had found him half-buried in the ground. What a way to meet your partner...still, I'm glad Fay found him, I wonder what would have happened if he hadn't found him. Would he have eventually woken up, unable to free himself? Ugh! I'm getting chills thinking about being in a situation like that.... Anyway, onto the experiments! Yesterday, I asked Bian if I could do a few experiments, to which he agreed. So, firstly, I wanted to test his memory. I read him a paragraph, saying the words at different voice levels. I came back an hour later and asked him to repeat everything he remembered, and he was spot-on, even on the volume. His memory is perfect! It's super impressive. The next experiment was how patient he was, I dunno why I wanted to know how much he could tolerate, but I make a circle in the attic, and had him lay down inside the circle. I came back today and...he had a little dust on him. He had not moved from that spot in hours. It was pretty impressive! I felt a little bad that I was taking advantage of him like this thought just to satisfy my curiosity, but he really didn't seem to mind. Ah yes, he also told me he started tell me a bit about his past, the bits that he remembered anyway. Apparently he was a sage, he was named as well! He dimly recalls people coming to him and asking for advice. He doesn't remember where he was during that time though, or what they asked. He promised to tell me if he remembered anything else though. I'll go back to the library tomorrow and look up anything I can about well-known sages or sage-type figures.

Entry 45 (Errand 4)

Dear Diary Today we were asked to perform, and let me tell you…while practicing for the show was kind of scary and tiring also; it was all worth it in the end. I dunno what I woulda done if Digi hadn’t been there with me though. When he was on stage, he was nothing but silly, but he was really confident in himself also, and then he started hyping up the crowd, and soon they were yelling back and excited to see what he was building up for, and I have to admit, it was affecting me also. It was like his willpower was rubbing off on me, and when he pointed to me and told me to do it, I could! I really didn’t mind that everyone was looking at me, I was gonna do it, and I sure did! It all went great! It wasn’t anything special, it was really just a lot of juggling with balls of light, but the audience liked it, and I threw them into the crowd when I started to get tired. There was one guy at the front that seemed really into it though, a Sceptile that talked funny. I mean, he didn’t talk during the performance, but before the show he talked a little, something about a surprise. Also he was wearing a strange robe thing. I didn’t pay enough attention to him to really notice if there was anything else. After I was done, Digi took me off the stage and everyone seemed really happy with me and Digi. Everyone else did their parts after me, Zar’roc and Fay did a fight on stage, and I don’t think they were following the script, cause Zar’roc ended the fight before Fay could give me the signal to throw him a sword by head-butting him really hard in the chest. Maran said nothing was broken, but it looked like it hurt. Maybe it was to get back at him for using Iron Tail on his chest. I was both disappointed and glad at the same time. After that was Maran and Bian. I never knew Bian could play music before, but it seems that he can! Also Maran sings super well! It was lovely…I don’t think anything I can write can do it justice, so I’ll just say that anyone who wasn’t there really missed out.

Entry 44 (Cooking 3)

Dear Diary It really is quite something having a lot of people here! I mean, all of a sudden, I go from just cooking for myself and Zar'roc, and occasionally cooking for the guests that he brought over, to suddenly cooking for more than ten people, and one is an Arcanine! I mean, I am enjoying it, because some of them have more refined pallets, so I get to try some of the more intricate recipes, but it's also quite difficult! They all have different tastiest after all. I would have forgotten for sure if Bian wasn't really good at remembering things and reminding me when I forget something. I have a good memory, but some of the details get a little....jumbled. Still though, everyone likes bread, and it's definitely a very filling food! Ah, I should probably mention that Nikolai is always there to help me in the kitchen. I would definitely not have been able to have very much free time if it wasn't for him. He's a really good cook and he good at making tea as well!  I have to admit, I am a little jealous, but he's a lot more trained than I am. He can even balance the trays and plates on his head, it's so cool!  Still though, maybe he could teach me things? I sure hope so. I should learn the proper....ah, I'm getting off topic. Anyway, people have preferences, but I don't really know what people don't like, or haven't found out yet. I am a little nervous to try a few things...I mean, none of the stronger recipe, but nobody had really asked for a specific recipes. I suppose maybe one day if I'm feeling adventurous, I'll ask what they'd like, individually. Still, they are quite easy to please, or maybe they’re just being polite. Most likely being polite…but I like to imagine I’m a good cook! I even make deserts. Home-made ice cream is a bit hard to make though, so that’s more of a….treat. Berry tarts are very much enjoyed though, so I’m sure they like those! Hehe, I should probably stop rambling. Good night.

Entry 43 (Errand 3)

Dear Diary Today was quite…strange. I mean, it was as strange as I should have expected really, but still…those potions were really weird! Miss Chelle probably expected that and that’s why she wanted us to be the ones to test them, but wow! Everyone came back from potion testing weird. I didn’t get to see the others, but they all said their potion experiences wouldn’t be one to ever forget. I wish I coulda seen. Anyway though, I’ll just get to what happened for us. Well, Zar’roc took the first potion, and then he turned red! Well, not all of him…actually, technically it was more his ‘shiny’ pallet. It seemed harmless, and he kinda liked it also. I suppose they are rare, so being one is pretty cool. Then I took my potion, and it was…uncomfortable. REALLY uncomfortable. It was like my skin wasn’t mine anymore, and I felt a lot heavier, and three times heavier, or maybe it was five. Turns out I was now metal, so I guess it made me a Psychic/Steel type…like a Metang or something. It wasn’t a very…bad change though. I bet I would be super hard to hurt now, but Zar’roc probably wouldn’t want to carry me around anymore. Zar’roc took the next potion, and this one turned him…well...he was a girl now. I don’t think he minded too much, but I was super surprised! I…uhh…took my next potion to try not to think about having a mommy already, and then gems started growing on my tail. It was just getting stranger and stranger! Zar’roc’s third potion was surprisingly one we were familiar with, Zar’roc made it at home with Enigma berries. He acted funny, but he was really happy and smiled a lot, but Miss Chelle didn’t seem happy one bit. My third potion wasn’t too special either, it just turned my eyes pink. After all that, Miss Chelle got some researchers to make some potions to turn us all back to normal. The rest of the day seemed normal, if kinda…quiet.

Entry 42 (Arson 6)

Dear Diary I....erm....well, what do I say? Erm....well, nobody's reading...reading my diary would be extremely rude, but...uhhh..well, I should probably say that this isn't night time, I just needed to write this moment. Right away! So, I was having a dream with me and my big brother Arson, we were having a lot of fun, playing together, looking through the forest...and...ack. I'm getting ahead of myself. Okay, yesterday big bro found out about my secret ability with protect, the ones I have labeled as 'Theory'. Anyway, he was really nice and supportive, and said that I would be able to cut things properly if I focused on strengthening myself. He asked me to cut him to tense what I could do, so I slashed him across the chest. It couldn't make so much as a scratch on his ribs, as expected, but it did get through his fur and skin. It wasn't very good, but he heals really fast! Anyway, we'd spent the rest of the rest of the day exercising and training. I got worn out though, so we had to take a lot of breaks, and I went to bed early. Anyway, I was having a good dream where my brother and I were having fun and playing with each other, and then I woke up…or, was woken up. I was still half asleep though. Anyway, I was a little…friendly, and the person that was trying to wake me up seemed confused, cause I thought they were Arson…well, I brought their face closer to mine and asked for a good morning kiss….turns out it was Nikolai though. He was a little too surprised to react though, or at least his reaction was very much delayed. I held that kiss for a good minute as well…so when I woke up and found out that I was kissing him, I naturally…panicked and apologized very quickly! It…errr…well, turns out Arson had seen the whole scene, and only then decided to make himself known! Nikolai excused himself, and it was just me and him….well….I-I dunno how much more I should write, oh gosh I’m getting all flustered, but needless to say, I got that kiss alright.

Entry 41 (Errand 2)

Dear Diary Today Sundance held the egg festival, and asked everyone to help! I was happy to help, both to earn a star coin and to help with a festival. I wanted to paint eggs and make an egg dish to take there. Zar’roc said it was a bit much but I did it anyway, but then he said I might have to watch the stand…that one did scare me a little, cause he’d be out there enjoying the egg festival, and I would be all alone in a stand with so many strangers going by…ugh! I’m getting shivers just thinking about it! Turns out I probably don’t have to, we’d just leave the plate on a stand and anyone that passes by can have some if they wanted to. Oh, I almost forgot, I was making Crustless Cheddar and sun-dried tomato mini Quiches. It’s a mouthful to say…and to eat also! Hehe~

[an-abra-diary-blog]

Entry 40 (Annabell)

Dear Diary I think it’s time I talked about our resident knight, Annabell. Annabell is a Glaceon, but I don’t really…actually, I don’t think I’ve ever had a conversation with her. Weird…well, she’s always really serious! Not that that’s a bad thing, but it’s a little intimidating, if I have to be honest. Still, she’s a good person from what I’ve seen. She’s polite and she always seems to be looking out for us. She doesn’t have her own room though, she sleeps on the couch. I guess she’s alright with it though. Sometimes she takes long trips…I don’t know where she goes. Oh, come to think of it, there was that one time where she smelled kind of funny, and kicked Esy out of her room. Then Esy went to Zar’roc, and Zar'roc then went into Esy’s room. I think I heard her growling or…making some kind of noise. I guess she wasn’t very happy to see him. Still though, he came out half an hour later, and she seemed alright, so I guess they sorted it out or something. He smelled kind of funny….well actually, he kinda smelled just like she did. Weird.

Entry 39 (Nikolai)

Dear Diary It's about time I wrote about Nikolai! I really like Nikolai, but there's a lot of mystery about him. According to Esy, he died, but that can't be right....I mean, he's alive and well. He doesn't remember dying either. Oh yea, he's a shiny Luxio by the way, and it's cool! Ah, I'm not focusing much. Nikolai is a very nice guy, and he's really talented. I think he's had a lot of training. From what I've gathered, I think he's been a servant all his life. Well, maybe not all his life...maybe he started when he was a kid. Regardless, he's good at everything! Well, everything that counts anyway. He's good at cooking, he's good at cleaning, he can make great tea, he can easily tend to the berry gardens, he's good at talking with people, he has good manners...I'm kinda jealous, really. There is no bad thing about him...wait, that sounds bad. I don't mean I want to write bad things about him, but he just seems so perfect. Well, almost...I wish he thought better of himself. Sometimes he even seems a little sad. Don't worry though, There was one day where Esy left Zar'roc in charge of him, and the two left the house for a long time. When they came back though, I think Nikolai was smiling. Zar'roc said he took Nikolai to a small flower field, and Nikolai enjoyed himself very much there. I'm glad daddy managed to cheer him up. Nikolai won't be himself around others, but he does seem a little more relaxed around Zar'roc.

[an-abra-diary-blog]

Entry 38 (Bian)

Dear Diary I really dunno why I never wrote about mister Bian before. He's been to our house before with Esy's boyfriends, before the house was upgraded, and even before Nikolai came over! He's a really strange...I mean, I don't have any experience with Shedinjas, and texts about them are sparse at best. The most well-known piece of information about them is that they are completely hollow, and looking into the hole on their back will make you lose your soul. Now...well, the being hollow fact is true, and the losing your soul part is false, at least for mister Bian it is. He's very okay with anything you ask him, really. I looked in the hole in his back, used Flash, and looked around, and he is very empty. Nothing really going on in there. I have to admit, it's both comforting and a little disappointing, knowing that there is nothing dark or spirit-like inside him, powering his empty body. Must just be the ghost aspect. Apart from now losing the mystery of Shedinjas....well, actually I don't know if it's just Bian or if it applies for all Shedinja. I suppose if I meet others, I can ask. Until then, perhaps he's just different. He actually told me he was different, come to think of it. I wouldn't be surprised either. Unlike some of the things I hear, Bian has no moveable limbs, or a mouth. Also, sometimes I hear...strange sounds coming from him when he's thinking. I don't think he notices them though, so I don't bring them up. I don't want to be rude. Apart from that though, I think he's a really good guy, really! He's easy to talk to, and he's always awake. He's really good at giving an outside opinion also, even if he asks a lot of questions before giving his opinion, but every question has a good reason behind it, and he can really just talk about anything for a while, or listen, he's a really good listener. He's really good at being logical, and he's smarter than me! I think I might actually try and do a few little experiments to see what more he's capable of.
