[the video opens on an awkward looking teenage girl, sitting cross-legged on a bed, wearing a tank top and a pair of shorts. she's holding a sheathed sword in her lap.

finally, she speaks]

Okay. I'm looking for someone to teach me how to fight. Fist-fighting, martial arts, swordfighting, guns, I don't care. I'm just sick of everyone else fighting my battles for me.

I guess that's about it. Just--lemme know if you can help. Thanks.

....no?

Doesn't that make you sad? Who cares if it doesn't work out.

action

[toiletseat_girl]

I care if it doesn't work out.

action

[knifecollecting]

So you never take risks, or try new things, or anything?

action

[toiletseat_girl]

...I tried the Clinic? That was new.

action

[knifecollecting]

And...? [Jo draws it out, giving George an expectant look.]

action

[toiletseat_girl]

And it seems to be going well so far?

action

[knifecollecting]

So that doesn't make you want to try something else new?

action

[toiletseat_girl]

I dunno. What else is there to try around here?

action

[knifecollecting]

Making friends. Having fun.

action

[toiletseat_girl]

I've made friends. I haven't been living like a total hermit.

action

[knifecollecting]

Okay. [Jo thinks she could do a little more, maybe.]

action

[toiletseat_girl]

And it's not like I can find a good book and stick my nose in that all day.

[SHE WISHES IT WAS AN OPTION, THE LACK OF BOOKS IS KILLING HER]

action

[knifecollecting]

I know. [Jo laughs.]

I guess if you wanted, you could write your own.

action

[toiletseat_girl]

I dunno. I've tried writing. It all sounds great in my head and like crap on the page.

action

[knifecollecting]

[Oh, gosh.]

You can't think about it too hard.

action

[toiletseat_girl]

[that's like telling water to not be wet]

I don't mean to do it, it just. Happens.

action

[knifecollecting]

Not everyone's cut out to be a writer.

action

[toiletseat_girl]

That "not everyone" would be me.

action

[knifecollecting]

Do you keep a journal or anything?

action

[toiletseat_girl]

No. Journaling what I do here? I wake up, have breakfast, go to the Clinic for eight hours, go to the Speakeasy for an hour or two, then go home and have something to eat. That's boring. I'm bored just talking about it.

action

[knifecollecting]

I mean about other things. People you meet. That kind of thing. For practice.

action

[toiletseat_girl]

Practice writing?

action

[knifecollecting]

Yeah. If you want.

action

[toiletseat_girl]

I guess I could try that. I mean, it's not like they're doing any good just sitting there.
