To Ruth,

You and MC got cornered by bullies once and you had to threaten them with Sol to get them to leave you alone. Since then, did you think of any other backup plans to deal with jerks trying anything funny without having to indirectly depend on your brother? With a bit of training I think you could even learn to take a group of dumb brutes like that down in a straight fight easily. What do you think?

Anon,

You lost me at training. I'm not scared of idiots like Amos, he just got the jump on me because I was distracted talking to someone which isn't happening 9 out of 10 times. I don't need to waste a bunch of time learning how to defend myself when I can just skate away from those idiots or hit them on the back of the head with my skateboard. Don't need to know how to fight to do that.

Besides, Sol actually made himself useful for once so I wouldn't want to waste his shining moment by not making use of it.

P.S. If this is Miss Wavra trying to get me to train so I can join that dumb tournament again, I'll pass. Again.

To Ruth,

You seem to go for a (tom)boyish look, so why keep your long hair? I mean yeah long hair isn't strictly feminine but on you it kinda looks that way, especially on the rare occasions you don't have your cap on. Plus shorter hair would be more practical overall, right?

P.S: Not trying to impose a haircut or anything, just curious.

Anon,

I'm not gonna act like having long hair isn't a pain, having to brush the knots out and all that stupid up keeping junk takes away a lot of my sleep time. But even if I did chop it off, getting haircuts every couple of weeks would be a pain in my butt too. I just got used to doing the bare minimum then putting it all in my hat, not like I style it or anything. Besides, my mom would kill me if I cut it without telling her so there's that.

And I look feminine because I'm a GIRL, genius. Not like I'm going for some tomboy style or anything, I just wear comfortable clothes. That usually means baggy.

To Ruth,

Where'd you learn to skate? Me, I was inspired by Tony Hawk (is he real in your world too? Or maybe you know any other famous skaters in your world?)

Anonymous,

Sol taught me when I was little, before I tripled him in skill.

As for that bird guy...never heard of him. I'm guessing he's some geezer pro from before I was born or something? I don't really pay attention to that stuff, I just skate for myself. There are a couple older kids that are pretty good at the skate park so I'll watch them after a sesh sometimes. No clue who they are though.
