[ how neat— a formal type letter message! shoyo, not really sure how but completely up to trying to reciprocate summons the aid of his omen to help him. the result isn't exactly any better than what he would've done by himself, but the crow works out voice to text: ]

Make sure you're getting all of this, Picanha! And autocorrect for me with all the formatting, I don't remember that stuff. Hi, Paul! Or, no. Start like this. Dear Paul! Next line.

Thanks for all of this! Do you know these languages fluently? I had an idea. We're already teaching each other the WAY OF THE SPEAR, capitalize that because it's important, and lower body plyos for strong calves and a crazy vertical jump. Next line!

After our loads start to shrink, why don't we teach each other a new language? Vai ser legal, prometo! At the end. Sincerely, Shoyo. Send that.

Shōyō, Thank you, Picanha. I know several languages fluently. Midoriya, another friend of mine, is going to help me learn Japanese when there's more time. I wouldn't mind practicing it with you too. Galach would be the easiest to learn, I think. I've been making sure to practice moving in the sand like you showed me. I think my ankles are stronger. Paul

[ picanha is also getting better at this! caw! ]

Go ahead, you can go first. THANK YOU PAUL. To Paul, next line. I can totally practice with you! And if you’re ever up for it, Portuguese is on my table, too. You’re totally, what’s it called when you know seven languages? Sevenlingual? That’s amazing that you already know so much! I only know uhhhhhhoauy three. And I think English is my worst. I forgot to skip a line. Next!

I have a good trick once you have the sand kind of down, I say kind of because sand can be really mean to everyone, but, we’re getting you do a drum roll! Ratatatatatatatatatatata weights! And a body harness!

Your body type looks like it can handle some crossfit. Let me know how that sounds. Do the flexing emoji. Your friend, Shōyō!

The word for a person who speaks multiple languages is polyglot. Three languages more than counts, don't say 'only'. I don't know any English at all, or Portuguese, so you're ahead of me there, too. I trust your judgment, but: what does any of that mean? 💪 Like that?

[ no header or footer thingies? give the omni controls back, picanha! he has an emoji to write! ]

like that!! you remembered!!
💪 💪 💪
sorry i was having my omen do dictation, i’m a little rusty on formal letter format
thanks for that, too. the language stuff.

okay, so first off: if you mean crossfit, that’s a type of exercise. high intensity functional movement.

I apologize, I didn't realize. You don't have to answer my messages the way I write them.

[Figuring out capitalization was a minor ordeal. Paul can relate to difficulty matching communication modes across cultures.]

I like the sound of that. I'd also like to extend you an offer: I'm teaching another student some techniques for getting more out of your body, and I've been thinking that you might benefit from some of them as well. They're like meditation techniques, but a little more involved. Would you be interested?

of course i would!!! it’s like taking my morning meditation to the next level!! that sounds super neat!

is it like an out of body experience?

It can be, but only with the right drugs. I'll talk to my other student and see how he feels about you joining us for classes. He's a private person. If he's not interested, I'll work with you one on one. I think it will be fun.

…………ok
thanks

[ he’s an athlete drugs are a big no for performance but paul how could he just blow paul off like that!! ]

what kind of drugs
will my brain fry and/or lower my physical performance
will i be caught in doping exams

Hallucinogens and stimulants, possibly relaxants if needed. There is a mild risk of triggering mental instabilities if used improperly, and overuse can create physical issues, but those shouldn't happen to you. What is a doping exam?

so like…… some athletes do drugs or take stuff to get stronger and swollen up quick like steroids
that’s like cheating, AND illegal
before a game or just randomly so you don’t know it’s coming the fivb (fédération internationale de volleyball) has you do an anti-doping exam
an officer goes with you to the bathroom and you pee into this cup so they could test it for any of those stuff
if you’re doing it, it’s going to be in your pee
and you can get banned from activities if it’s positive!!

That's a ridiculous way to try to prevent cheating. Some people must be able to beat the system, and then you've guaranteed an uneven playing field, with the honest competitors at a disadvantage. Is anyone making you do this now?

here in trench? not right now! we don’t even have official teams or anything, so……… no pee
and no volleyball 😭

before i heard that people would use other peoples pee to get by that but now they just send officers WITH you to the bathroom so you have to do it like
right in front of them
that and blood samples, i almost forgot
there’s no escape

Then all you have to do is bribe the officers or the testers. It depends on the test and the drug what might show up, but if you're concerned about detection, they're not strictly necessary. (If anyone tries to make you do that here, don't trust them. The entire thing seems suspicious to me.)

i’d like to think they aren’t bribable, but………… maybe i’ll just do my part anyway

[ one thing he sees a lot on the news in brazil: corruption. ]

i’m in
do you think your guy is gonna let me in?

I'm not saying that you should. But you didn't design the system. I shouldn't put you on the spot to explain it. I think so. I'll let you know if he says yes. I should let you know: he might seem strange sometimes, but he isn't. He just thinks about things differently than other people.

oh, that sounds alright!

and either way, being different is fun, i know a few people like that.

I appreciate you not specifying that I'm one of them. I'll talk to you soon, mano.

!!!
that’s because you’re a different kind of weird, you tower

[ so young……… and yet so much larger than him. unfair! but it sounds more like a compliment than anything, who doesn’t want to be a tower??? ]

até mais amigão 🤝
