Code:
"She's right, Blue-butt. Mental fatigue and physical fatigue aren't the same thing. Treatin 'em the same isn't gonna get anyone far."
Vicky said to Samus in reference to what Sophia had said.

"Well I can't really think of a way to get her more used to mental fatigue..." Samus admitted. "At least not without stressing her. Perhaps we should focus on something else, like speed or dodging attawait a second what did you call me?" Samus trailed off at the end as what Vicky had nicknamed her processed through her brain.

"She calls me 'Blue' on occasion. Take it with a grain of salt." EMily chuckled.

[color=006d5b]"[small]Well that's gonna get confusing...[/small]"[/color] Matilda muttered, upon hearing that Vicky referred to people by colours. She then asked, at a normal volume, [color=006d5b]"Why do you call them that?"[/color]

Code:
"Have you never exercised before? Causing stress is the entire point."
Victoria explained.
Code:
"Blue-butt."
She repeated.
Code:
"You know, because you were that tight blue suit that shows off your butt."
Code:
"Because people like having nicknames. Right?"
She replied to Matilda.

[color=006d5b]"Normally, but I was more meaning why those particular ones."[/color] Matilda said.

"...is that really such a noticeable thing?" Samus asked, honestly curious. "Anyway, I understand that, but... Sophia's not used to dangerous situations. The best way to toughen her up would be to expose her to those or at least make her feel that fight or flight instinct, but I don't want to put her at risk."

I snickered at the name of Blue butt. Yes it was juvenile but I didn't have many things too laugh at in life. Hadn't laughed in a long time.
"Truly your a great nick namer. I guess your going to call me Mustard coat, or gruff man."

"Yep, I'm afraid it is, Samus."

<color=green>"If we're looking for exercises to test mental stress, maybe there needs to be a challenge oriented around quick decision making."

Code:
"Oh, um, they wear a lot of blue colored clothing."
Vicky explained to Matilda.

Code:
"Yeah... It is."
Victoria replied to Vicky, her tone indicating that she was confused as to whether the question was serious or not.
Code:
"Anyway, I'd offer to help, but I don't really think Boot Camp would be the way to go here."
Code:
"Nah, nothing's hit me for you yet."
She said to Mr. Stone.

"Huh..." Samus said in reply to Emily and Vicky pointing out her attire. She refocused when they critiqued her methods. "We can try that, yes. Thank you Winona."

Winona bowed her head in welcoming Samus.

<color=purple>"Well we have two days wait period until we get the trace metals needed to replicate the metal alloy for Dave's ship. So I'd say if there's a time to exercise and relax, now's the time."

"Hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think that's going to work."
Vicky commented to Winona.

"Oh so that's where you went to this morning, to look at getting some metal for the ship?" Sophia asked Gwen, finally saying something after she'd been listening to the exchange of the group as they had been trying to brain storm as to what to do with her. "One other thing I was wondering was if this is just a sea, or a full blown ocean, it's salty at least but I can't really tell if there's something on the other side."

<color=green>"Oh! And why's that? Did you mean something different by 'mental stress'?" She asked Vicky politely.

<color=purple>"Yes, that's where we were. We're also qualified to help with the smelting operation when the time comes as well."

Sara answered Sophia's question.
<color=brown>Yes it is. You are looking at the Atlantic Ocean. It stretches from the top to the bottom of the globe, and it touches four continents.

"Four?" Sophia repeated as she looked back to the ocean. "Wow, this is the closest I've ever been to one of these before then." Sophia responded, her voice filled with a mismatch of wonder, anxiousness, and curiosity.

Code:
"See, by mental stress, I mean exercising her magical abilities like any other part of the body. Not like logic puzzles or anything like that. Don't even know where you got the idea that would even help."
Victoria explained to Winona.

She looked over at Sophia and asked,
Code:
"What're you even talking about? It's a giant water puddle."

Winona looked a little cross at Vicky's tone.
<color=green>"Well, I didn't even know that 'mental stress' could mean 'magical abilities'. As there's no such thing as fantasy-style magic where I'm from. So my natural guess was in terms of thinking. Also, I'm sure being able to make quick decisions and recalling knowledge would also help. As that's how I and my sisters cast our abilities."

[color=006d5b]"That's how it is for you guys, but not necessarily for other people. For me, it's more like... meditating, I guess. I can't just make quick decisions, I need to think carefully."[/color] Matilda chimed in, idly drawing circles in the sand with the end of her cane as the others spoke.
