[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.

[sixthdeadliest]

[Six nods mutely. That makes sense. Actually, it's similar to when he worked with Knight back when they were partners in the mercenary business.]

Adapt to what kinds of changes?

[doc_holi]

[Seriously injured? She didn't like that. Holiday nodded, noting that. Her and Six could get into some dog-eat-dog fights sometimes, but they hardly ever stayed that mad at each other for too long. Even though, she still trusted him, but she was going to try to be extra careful here.]

[For all she knew, she could hurt him by just having doubts and she wasn't about to chance it in a place like this... The other topic gets her immediate interest, though.]

You mean after I collected some souls?

[She still hasn't completely decided if she should do that or not.]

[starfruitfrog]

Exactly, Rebecca-dono. A Weapon changes and gains abilities as it collects souls, usually becoming stronger, de arimasu.

Of course, there are also those who choose not to collect souls, de arimasu. [Just in case that was an issue. Keroro had seen enough of those people asking about it on the Network that he knew this could be a problem.]

[nolicenseyet]

Changes seem to be normal from what I've observed. Finding out how your partner's ability has changed and what that means for how you fight is important.

[She was quiet on the subject of souls though. She'd never had much experience with them before coming here, so she'd mostly followed Keroro's lead on this.]

[sixthdeadliest]

How are we supposed to find out what Holiday's ability is in the first place?

[doc_holi]

[She can choose to not collect them? She'll have to ask about that, but not here.]

I didn't even know I would get abilities.

[Yes, a different topic that is still important. Good.]

[starfruitfrog]

I think that the easiest way would be to just use her Weapon form and practice till you can find it, de arimasu.

Everyone's ability is different, and sometimes they're things you wouldn't expect, de arimasu.

[He is all about the different topics. And he just likes sounding smarter than other people.]

[nolicenseyet]

And sometimes the ability is something that's related to what you can do back in your own world.

[Pause.]

What do you turn into?
