2. Trialcreek

He is something, this guy. I had meant to strongarm him, dump him in the water and let the fishies eat him if he refused, but he went along with it.

Coming on to our beach and all, who would have known if he had just disappeared. Being on the island at this time, a guy like that will cause more trouble than you know.

But something strange about him, you know? He carries this huge sword with him, but he's got this perfect soft face. A couple times in the creek I thought that soft face would start crying to get out of there, but he's got spirit, more than any of those other bozos in the village. Most of them when they go through their village trial barely get through the first bend without going off.

When he was talking to me about winning, you know I never thought of that? I've spent my whole life with the passion to play the big time at Luca, and who knows, even further, but the village folk are so soft, and without a team to win, who's going to look at me?

They say I'm at fault, you know? For being hot-headed, being too hard on them, being too soft on them. Not like the folk really care one way or the other - blitzball got nothing on their lives, they'd rather fish and trade and have babies. I got dreams.
