A Numb Feeling Inside... [Open]

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

If there was anyway of telling that someone was having a very bad week, it was easy to see it with Sasami. Coming off from her injuries after the battle with the Ohm, she ended up snapping and attacking Evangeline over a massive misunderstanding concerning Negi. Then, when it came to the elections, she tossed her metaphorical hat into the metaphorical ring and it completely backfired on her: meeting one of her opponents, he'd tried to convince her to step down and reading some of the messages on the omnicomms, it seemed like her opponents were trying to tell her to back off as well.

You're too young. You're biting off more than you can chew. Why don't you shadow...?

"Why aren't they giving me a chance?" Sasami muttered to herself. "Why won't they? Is it because I'm a kid? O-Or..." she shook her head as she wandered aimlessly into the Media Library. She half-heartedly waved off a working Vivio as she took a seat and curled herself into a ball.

"...m-maybe I should give up..." Sasami muttered, trying not to cry. As she did, Vivio just stared at the poor girl, both mage and Device uncertain on how to cheer her up.

(OoC: Kinda doubling up here. You can speak to either Vivio or Sasami here if need be. Oh, heck, go for both! Don't matter at all!)

"Mou, that's stupid," pouted Rein. "Nanoha-chan was 9 when she started capturing Jewel Seeds, 10 when she fought Vita-chan and the others, adopted Vivio-chan at 19... Caro and Lu and Erio are what, 12, 13 at the most Vivio-chan?"

"In any case, it's not about age, it's about being who you want to be," said Rein with an empathic nod.

"Well, they're 15 in my time..." Vivio said, grinning sheepishly.

"...so... you think I should keep going?" Sasami asked, looking at Rein.

"Of course! There's nothing kids can't do if they put their mind to it!" exclaimed Rein, pumping tiny fists into the air. "I should know, Hayate-chan still treats me like a kid at times."

Sasami let a small smile form on her face as she heard Reinforce say that. "Maybe... maybe you're right..." She wiped away a few stray tears as she continued. "...I guess I got too worked up over everything..."

"Sometimes kids are stronger mentally than adults. We're still growing, becoming flexible, becoming people who we know will be great in the end," said Rein as she clasped her hands and spun around. "That's why you CAN'T give up! And I'll tell Matt-kun to man-up and give you his support fully."
