[The text that hits the network from Ishimaru's device is surprisingly brief and to-the-point today; no video for now, though it's not because he's a broken mess this time, at least. Just at that weird point where he's exhausted and completely riled at the same time, so his body isn't really sure what it wants to do with itself.]
How do you hope that other people will remember you? Not necessarily after you die or anything, though you can answer for that, too.
It's nothing pressing; just something I've been thinking about today.
Whether you respond or not, I hope that today is a good and productive day, and if not, I hope that tomorrow will be better for you. Keep your head up.
[For those who are in the Dangan House today, Ishimaru can be found there; he's mostly looking after Parker while she's in her update coma, but he's not opposed to company.]

[Maka please don't be a pedantic shit to your friend.]
I don't know, I think I'd rather be remembered as a friend than anything else. People that were here when I was last remember me as that, so that's fine.
What about you?
[text]
[Hey, at least being a pedantic shit is kind of what Ishimaru does, so he doesn't mind.]
As for me, I think I'd rather be remembered as having helped people, and having made a difference for the better somehow.

[But Meisters like her are a dime a dozen and die in battle every day, so it's a fruitless effort to her to wish to be remembered as a person.
...Let's not bring that up, talking about death seems to put people off.]
But I'd remember you as someone like that, even if you left.

Well, back home I wanted to go into politics and eventually be the leader of my country, so I guess that's why I tend to think of it like that - the changes I wanted to make would be visible in that sort of way, if that makes sense.
Either way, going back isn't something I really want to do anytime soon, so hopefully it won't be an issue.
[text]
Actually if Ishimaru has ambitions to be a politician his answer makes much more sense to her. Soldiers are remembered en masse as contributors to peace, politicians are the game changers and road pavers of the future.]
It does.
I think we arrived at the same time, so it's been a year for both of us now. I think it's safe to say that you're not going home any time soon.
[text]
I don't know whether I will or not, since there doesn't seem to be any real pattern to who stays and who goes. But I want to cherish the time I spend here either way. If I go back then I do, and I'm going to have to be prepared for that, but that doesn't mean that I should refuse to live my life here because I'm always thinking about maybe going back there.

And make sure our friends don't try to drown our Pokemon.
[Maka no.]
[text]
What happened? With the attempted drowning.
[text]
I guess my Zoroark pretended to be me while I took a trip and Kirikou wasn't so happy with that.
It's his own fault for being fooled by her.
[text]
Drowning is a bit extreme, though!
[text]
Even then, I think his new Plusle and Minun will distract him.
Hopefully we won't bring anymore Zoroarks into the house, Blair doesn't need a friend in shapeshifting.
