I have a dream that I want to fulfill with you...

[tsugomori]

[ Well, that was an extraordinary trial to have... it was certainly filled with many things that wouldn't be lost to the memory of most, even for weeks to come. Although, the return to "normalcy" could be something that wouldn't seem like it was wanted, it was better than the alternative to returning to anything at all.

With ease, Mikazuki find himself setting up the usual party in the usual place-- that would be the library of course. Notes have been slipped underneath the doors of others, or hung up on the walls to alert them of this post-trial "celebration" -- which was more like a get-together of some sorts now than a real party. ]


Please join us in the library again. Of course, food and drink will be provided.

- Mikazuki, Orihime, Hanyuu, & Estelle

[ The food and drink has been set out, what with there being tea, vichyssoise, cream puffs, and fish for everyone to enjoy. ]

[...Lusamine pauses a bit, look going...just about everywhere but Judy's face before she settles a bit.]

Talk with me for a moment, please? If I keep thinking about this for much longer...I'm likely going to have a headache in the morning.

[officerhops]

Of course. I'm not going anywhere.

[Judy looks over to where Clefable and Lilligant are, then steps a bit closer to them.]

Just make sure you take care of yourself. That's important, too.

[elepe]

Of course...

[She's said it, week after week. "I won't let anyone kill me. I'm not going to die here. I'm not worried."

...Oh, how the tables have turned. She shakes her head quickly, she doesn't want to think about it.]

Of course. I'll be careful. I always have been.

[...and yet...]

...Today has been a reality check, if nothing else.

[officerhops]

I know you would sooner take your attacker down with you than go down without a fight. I'm not worried about you, Lusamine.

I guess I know what it feels like to have to always be ready to fight back, though.

[elepe]

[Damn Judy, you must think she's hardcore or something. ...That's actually really complimenting.]

...I would have done everything to take Kira out with me, if he had decided to go after me. I promise you that.

[...Would she? She was perfectly willing to let the man give her a manicure, if she'd needed it...

She doesn't want to focus on that.]

...You mentioned that you...faced problems, before. Due to your stature, right? With the other...beings from your world.

[officerhops]

[Lusamine she watched you be fully prepared to bean Kira with one of your heels earlier. You ARE hardcore.]

Yeah...it happens, sometimes. People just don't really think before they act. And sometimes they underestimate the little guy. It's nothing I'm not used to.

[elepe]

[...that was for the sake of one of her children but you know what, excellent point.]

I'd be more afraid of you, really. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall", after all. They underestimate you, and that is a strength in and of itself.

[Have you seen a buneary punch a boulder with it's ears? ...Okay maybe not the best comparison but. YOU DO NOT HAVE A HIGH BAR TO SET, JUDY.]

[officerhops]

[Judy actually laughs at that.]

Would you believe me if I told you I've knocked out a Rhino before?

[elepe]

Really?

[That doesn't sound disbelieving at all--that sounds excited as hell!]

I don't suppose you would be willing to share the story?

[officerhops]

[The officer nods, smiling.]

It was actually while I was training in the academy. We all had to take a class where we would box with animals twice our size, or strength. They'd be playing the role of "dangerous criminal" and we'd have to apprehend them.

They decided to put me up against a Rhinoceros.

And I won.

[elepe]

[...yo. That is amazing? Lusamine looks absolutely amazed by the thought of this.]

And they still try to underestimate you? My, my. I certainly would be more afraid of you in the long run than anything else...

[Good thing she's an officer of the law.]

[officerhops]

To be fair, I didn't beat him right away. It took some training, but they still didn't think I could do it. Now I'm Zootopia's very first rabbit officer.

[And she's damn proud of that, thanks.]

[elepe]

Oh, I can only imagine! Never the less...it is a truly impressive feat to manage, Judy. You're setting the standard, in your own way!

[You go, kickass bunny. You go and do your best.]

[officerhops]

[You bet your butt she will.]

Thank you, Lusamine. Guess it's nothing compared to what a Pokemon can do though, right?

[elepe]

Comparing yourself to a Pokemon is simply an unfair comparison.

[That seems obvious to her, and...she's confused as hell.]

Pokemon are powerful creatures, but it's an entirely different form of power than what most of us have. It would be akin to comparing two completely different vegetables.

[officerhops]

[Oh, well then.]

So what happened to make them as strong as they are, then?
