"It's Pride Month, Dion. You know what that means."
"Huh? What?"
"Do... Do you want me to splat gay squids? What??"
"Hehe~"
"Cut the 'Hehe~' crap! The hell do you mean?!"

"Sooooo... What Splatfest teams are you all choosing?"
"Wisdom."
"Courage, duh!"
"...Wisdom."
"So, I'm alone on Power, huh?"
"Uh... I picked Power too..."
"........."
"Seriously? Awesome!"
"Whaaaat? That doesn't seem like you, Cerrin."
"I thought you'd be more of a Courage type, to be honest..."
"Really? I mean, I don't think it's that out of charact--"
"You picked it because you think that Ganondorf character is attractive, didn't you."
".........Maybe."
"What?! You only picked Power because you're thirsty?!"
"So? Ursula did the same thing."
"Excuse you, it isn't my fault they made Zelda perfect."
"You have to be joking..."

[Cerrin falls silent for a short while, debating on how much about his past he should tell...]
"Well, I don't remember much about my childhood. Y'know, the whole amnesia thing..."
"Yeah, I remember your sister mentioning something about that..."
"I mean, I do remember bits and pieces, like abusive parents and being a soldier."
"That alone is messed up..."
"I think the worst of it, though, was everything that happened in the Deepsea Metro. The amnesia, a psycho A.I., all those test chambers... All I can remember is the anxiety, getting my ass handed to me by a bunch of -- Cod, I don't even know what to call them... Zombie soldiers? -- and the ink tank that exploded on me every time I failed..."
"Wait, zombies? A psycho A.I.?? And you exploded?? More than once??"
"Yup. Got a pretty gnarly scar on my back from it and everything, haha..."
"Oh my cod..."
"It's... in the past."
"Dude, that's terrible. So much worse than anything I've--"
[Cerrin puts his hand on Dion's shoulder.]
"Please don't say that. Trauma is trauma, no matter the size or severity."
"Y-Yeah..."
"...For what it's worth, I think your parents are terrible for treating you the way they do."
"........."
[Cerrin laughs a little.]
"And, if you ever need a new phone... I'll see what Ruby can do."
[Dion chuckles as well, and shakes his head.]
"Haha... Thanks."

a fun thing about dion is that if someone gives him positive attention or shows interest in him -- especially romantic interest -- he doesn't know how to react. he's so used to his attempts at getting that attention going ignored or garnering eyerolls from those around him, that when he actually gets what he wants it genuinely surprises him. of course, he'll bounce back and put on is usual bravado after a few moments, and that usually ends with those same eyerolls.

[It's the next day. Dion and Cerrin have been avoiding each other, and the tension at the base is palpable. Ruby and Koa are chatting...]
"So that's the situation, huh?"
"Yeah. I think he needs someone to talk to, but..."
"........."
[Koa stands up and walks away.]
"Captain...?"

[Dion is sitting on the edge of the Site 2 island, tossing the artifical snow near him into the water below. He doesn't even hear that someone's approaching...]
"Hey."
[Dion jumps a little, before he realizes who had addressed him.]
"Let me guess, Four sent you."
"Pretty much."
[Koa its down next to him.]
"How much did she tell you?"
"Enough."
[Insert an awkward pause here.]
"Y'know, I might not know what exactly Eight went through back then, but... I can at least tell you my side of she story."
"...Yeah."
[Koa proceeds to tell Dion most of what happened five years ago -- How she and Cerrin had fallen into the Deepsea Metro, the psycho A.I. that had used some kind of strange ink to mind-control her, the fight between her and Cerrin... And the scars it left behind on her.]
"Holy shit..."
"I might not know everything he's been through, or anything you've been through, but I do know that whatever he said to you was said in anger, not any sort of hatred. And, knowing him, he probably didn't mean to make light of your experiences."
"Sure sounded like he meant it..."
"Anger can do that. What's important now is how you move forward with this little issue."
"Right..."

"Come on, you have to tell me what's up with the Captain!"
"You've been nagging me about this for hours. My answer is still no."
"Well, how do you expect me to understand anything if you don't tell me?"
"Three, you really shouldn't--"
"Would you just drop it already?! It's none of your business, and it's hard enough to live with this shit without having someone asking about it constantly!"
"Really? I'm sure whatever it is it can't be that--"
[Cerrin punches Dion square in the jaw.]
"What the hell would you know about any kind of trauma?!"
"What would I--Like hell I don't know anything! I've been through shit too, you know!"
"Uh, guys...?"
"Give me a fucking break! You're just some spoiled little rich boy who's never had to work or suffer a day in his life!"
"I... That's not..."
"Not what, Three? True? Because I doubt--"
"At least you have people who care about you!!"
"--!"
[Dion storms off.]
"That was... really harsh, Cerrin."
"...Y-Yeah..."

[At the Alterna base...]
"Man, what's with the Captain? Every time I asked about her birthday she got needlessly defensive, and then she punched me over it!"
"I mean. She went through some crazy shit around her birthday a while back..."
"Yeah, I remember that... Must have been about five years ago, now."
"What? You know something?? You have to tell me!"
"It's not my story to tell."
"But you were there, right?"
"Well, yeah, but it feels like too personal of a thing to just talk about without her permission... Not to mention what I went through back then was a lot different than--"
"Oh, come on!"

"Hey, Captain! Happy birthday! We're gonna do something to celebrate, ri--"
"Don't."
"Aw, c'mon! Your birthday only comes once a year, you gotta--"
"If you don't drop it I'll shove my Inkbrush down your throat."
[Koa leaves.]
"Geez, what's her problem??"
"She's just. Not the biggest fan of making a deal out of her birthday."
"What? But it's one day a year!"
"She's never been a fan of being the center of attention. At least, not as long as I've known her..."
"That's so stupid! There's only a handful of us, why wouldn't she want to at least celebrate a little?"
"Uh, Three..."
"You really don't get it, do you...?"

"Y'know, for your first Splatfest, you did really well, Ursula. You even got the Ruler title!"
"It was fun. Though, I'm curious if that's as high as the titles go..."
"Of course it's not! There's Ruler +1, Ruler +2, and so on..."
"Is there a point to going for those other ones, though?"
"Not really. It's not like they get you any extra prizes or anything. They're really just for tryhards with nothing better to do..."
"...Or people who're gonna splat you if you keep running your mouth."
"...107 to 3."
"107 to 3?"
"The number of times my brother splatted you, and the number of times you splatted him."
"You kept track?! Who even does that?!"
"...That many, huh?"

"Would you idiots stop bringing Azumarill to every coddamn 7-star raid?! It's not some fucking miracle Pokรฉmon that's good for everything! It was barely even good for one of them!! "
[Koa continues ranting, while the others listen...]
"What is she talking about?"
"Just Pokรฉmon. This happens every time there's an event raid..."
"Wait, you guys still play Pokรฉmon?"
"Uh, duh! It's fun!"
"Isn't it for kids though?"
"It's for anyone who wants to play it. And, there's actually a lot of strategy behind it, especially in the harder raids. You can't just bring any Pokรฉmon and expect to win."
"Strategy? How so?"
"Well, each Pokรฉmon has an element or two assigned to it, and each element has its strengths and weaknesses to other elements in battle. They each also have their own stats and abilities that effect how they fight..."
"To be honest, I don't really get most of the matchups and battle stuff... I just look for the rare-colored ones and leave it at that."
"Oh, but that sounds fun. Maybe I should try..."
"Sounds like it's changed a lot since I last played... When I was twelvโ"
"FUCK YOU AND YOUR AZUMARILL! YOU CAN'T WIN THIS WITH YOUR CODDAMN WATER RAT! FUCKING IDIOTS!!"
[Insert an awkward pause here, as Koa continues ranting.]
"Uh... Is she alright?"
"...I think?"
