[While Six was looking around in interest, she was looking around like a deer in headlights. It was not everyday that Holiday had no idea what the hell she was doing, but that was happening today.]

... What do we do?

[sixthdeadliest]

I have no idea.

[No point in trying to make something up.]

Find one of the instructors, I suppose.

[doc_holi]

[Holiday looked around for someone before looking to the schedule and seeing who should be there. Spirt, Eve, and Keroro...]

Spirit Albarn is that Deathscythe you told me about right? And I think I've met Keroro... He's either the green frog or the red frog. I met the red one.

[She's already getting them mixed up.]

[sixthdeadliest]

Keroro's the green one. Giroro's the red one.

And, yes, Mr. Albarn's the head Deathscythe.

[doc_holi]

[Oh goody. She can meet the green one now. What joy. Though, Giroro did seem pretty interesting.]

I would like to learn more about Deathscythe's in general, but we should probably just ask for help from the first assistant we see for today.

[sixthdeadliest]

[Trust him, Holiday. They're like night and day.]

I've been doing some reading up on them but not much jumps out aside from them being the Weapons the reigning Shinigami uses along with being his advisors and assistants. More responsibility to go with the extra power.

[doc_holi]

[That's it? Well, that makes sense.]

... Is it true about the... eating souls thing?

[sixthdeadliest]

Strangely enough, yes.

[He thinks back to that last mission with Zero. How to describe them?]

They look like weird Jell-o molds.

[doc_holi]

[Jell-o molds. Right. Well, that doesn't help her conscience any.]

... I don't know if I can do that.

[sixthdeadliest]

It's the only way to increase your strength and become a Deathscythe. Though I have to admit it does look a bit off-putting.

[doc_holi]

It's someone's soul.

[Just a little off-putting.]

They did explain that it was the main way that souls are carried over into the next life or... something about cleansing kishin eggs or...

The guy that told me I was a Weapon was actually kind of scary, so I'm not sure what to think, really.

[starfruitfrog]

[And the frog finally notices he was supposed to help.]

Ah, good morning, de arimasu!

[He recognizes Six, but tilts his head as he regards the person with him.]

[nolicenseyet]

[And Eve was trotting behind her partner like a quiet shadow...if a two feet tall alien frog's shadow could look like a thirteen year old girl, at any rate.]

[sixthdeadliest]

Hello, Keroro, Eve.

[He motions to the woman beside him.]

This is Dr. Rebecca Holiday. We worked together back on my world.

[doc_holi]

[... Yep. It's the green frog, alright.]

[She smiles to the pair, momentarily pushing away her other worries.] It's a pleasure to meet you two.

[starfruitfrog]

Rebecca-dono, is it? The pleasure's all mine, de arimasu!

[Have an early morning salute.]

[nolicenseyet]

Hello. [She returns Six's greeting simply before copying Keroro's salute a second after Keroro does his.

She tilted her head, studying Doctor Holiday curiously. A doctor...? She wasn't like the doctors Eve had met before. Which was not entirely a bad thing, she mused, given that one of them had tried to dissect her. She stared while she thought, long enough that it might have unnerved some before speaking.]

Are you two partners?

[sixthdeadliest]

[Six nods.] She arrived from my world in the last bunch, but we need work on several different areas.

[Like how to work together effectively. He's largely been working with experienced Weapons who know what they're doing.]

[doc_holi]

[... She stared blankly at the frog for a second...] Um... Yeah. Yeah, that works. [Because she doesn't even know what that means, but okay.]

[She just stands there and smiles to the two of them.]

[starfruitfrog]

[Keroro ignores what looks to him like confusion from Six's partner and soldiers ahead with what he is meant to be doing.]

Great, de arimasu! Now, what is it specifically you need to work on, de arimasu? Or do you just want a practical crash course on being partners, de arimasu?

[nolicenseyet]

[A little girl and a two feet tall alien frog. Theirs was an odd looking combination, certainly.

She'll let Keroro do the talking for now. It wasn't like there was anything to say on her part until they'd answered his questions.]

[sixthdeadliest]

Basically, we need a crash course in everything. [Not ashamed to admit in this case that they need help.]

[doc_holi]

[She nods alongside, Six. Other than finally figuring out her Weapon form, she has no idea on anything that includes partners. Including that weird feeling she gets sometimes when they touch.]

[starfruitfrog]

I see...then I guess we better get started, de arimasu. Firstly, we'll start with some basics of partnering up, de arimasu.

The first thing, is that you always have to remember that a partnership is two-sided, de arimasu. No matter what, trust in each other and do your job, or your partner could be seriously injured, de arimasu.

[He got a lecture on this from Azusa once, and he still remembers it.]

[nolicenseyet]

[She nodded along.]

A Meister's job is to adapt to the situation and to whatever changes his or her Weapon undergoes when they get stronger.
