♪02 (BBS) / oh god i'm so sorry for tl;dr

[After taking Luka's advice, Rin has written a short essay and then... posted it. With the translators help, of course. Forgive how it's badly written, for the English class is clearly not finished and she doesn't understand run on sentences and the like. At 16:30 anyone is free to see Rin hovering over her translator's shoulder in the Library, half-whispering the words so that it'll be written just right.]

TITLE: Discrimination of the Junior Cadets in this Garden.

I do believe, fellow Cadets, that there is a serious problem at hand! Those of us considered under age are also seen as unable to complete duties that the older Cadets are handed so easily. This, I believe, is unfair! So I have written an essay. An essay about equality between all students, young or old! About giving us the chances that the others are given and we are not. Like flying the Garden! And other things. Don't let us forget the Disciplinary Committee and its leader. That guy. You know the one I'm talking about. Tall, blond, rude, smells bad.

So we'll start easy. Clubs and Committees. Older students have not been given a second look when joining any of these, and are handed the responsibilities without question. If a younger student were to ask for the same privileges, would they be given the chance? I think not! They would be judged, and all immediately assume that because we're young and/or small, we can't do the job! But this is absolutely incorrect! I know I could do just what the older students do, and I bet twice as better because I'm smaller and lighter. The more difficult things like going in high places or small spaces, could the older students do this? No, but I could! Ask the younger students to help! You don't know what we're capable of without letting us try!

Imagine trying to hang up special lights for the Garden Festival, but you choose an older student to climb up the ladder. Then they fall! They fall, they break a leg, and they blame you. This would be terrible. But what if you chose me, or another young student? Why, we would have it done as quick as butter, and if we got hurt we would heal quickly because we're kids, and that's just what we do. That Disciplinary Committee can't be taken seriously with all sour faced adults! Nobody will trust them without a cute face around to look at. Take this into consideration!

So rethink your choice when choosing one of the other simply because of age.

However, when it comes to piloting the Garden, I understand that you need someone with experience. What if I told you I have spent a lot of time playing video games in which I pilot a plane? That's experience! And who ever learns it right off the bat? I think, if you start a piloting class, you could have plenty of pilots available in order to give the others rest. One person doing the flying all the time has to be tiring, and without anybody to take up the slack it's just troublesome and it'll definitely get old. Not to mention, I personally would love to be given at least one day to fly the Garden. And it's for a good cause, I promise! It may fly, but I've driven the Road Roller for years and years, and I know how to flatten people just right! I could do it with this Garden, and it would be twice as effective.

Haven't you ever thought, "gosh, that person is so annoying, I wish I could just flatten them without getting in trouble"? Well you can! I'll do the damage, and you won't get your hands dirty. The other Gardens will be jealous that you have the gusto to use this Garden in such a way. If this idea is not approved of, than I only ask that I get one day to command the controls. You see, when the day comes, there is one particular person that must be punished. Punished because I know, we all know, that he will arrive in greed, alone and without the rest of our family! So, this must be done.

Don't you see? The young have amazing ideas! Don't just leave us on the side until we get old and boring like everybody else! Let us do our best!

RIN.

To anyone reading this far:

Unfortunately, I can actually attest to the fact that Rin is an excellent driver, etc, and could probably do an unnaturally good job of piloting the Garden. I, however, can understand why the majority of people would like to keep her as far from the controls as possible. Additionally, when she speaks of flattening people, she's very much talking about robots; she does not have homicidal urges.

Rin:

That certain someone is already here. Alone, as predicted.

[That took an awfully long time for Rinoa to think about. It was hard to know just what to say after all.]

I think they're just used to relying on people who've had formal training. I know it doesn't seem fair, but the best way to prove you're up to it is to work and train hard isn't it?

I don't think we want to flatten people though. Aren't there better ways to solve our problems than turning to violence? It's better to find other ways to than to always turn to force.

I think, for now, it's best to leave the man piloting to his job. Unless it's changed, he's been flying the Garden for a long time and is really good at it! I'm sure there's plenty of things for you to do though, you just have to find the right people to ask!

While the passion you have for this subject is most admirable, there are certain aspects to your argument which are detrimental to the professional image of Balamb Garden and SeeD.

First of all, your offer to "flatten" people is unnecessary. While teaching combat is inevitable as the purpose of Garden is to hone potential mercenaries, Garden does not breed soldiers for needless violence. Using Garden as a weapon for personal vendettas is completely out of line, and such thoughts are unbecoming of a potential SeeD candidate.

Second, your argument that younger cadets may be useful for matters such as decorating the Garden Festival leaves out the potential harm that the junior cadets may face when dealing with the more hazardous tasks. Realistically, SeeDs come in various sizes and there are bound to be petite senior cadets who can help complete the more tricky tasks which you've mentioned. Also, SeeDs have been trained in curative para-magics and injuries would be treated accordingly should they happen.

SeeD is an elite mercenary force, and even junior cadets reflect the professional nature of the organization. Even though you are still training for your SeeD exam, you must realize that you're also a direct reflection of the instructors and senior cadets of the school, and therefore you should act accordingly. It would be best if you directed the obvious compassion you're capable of towards your studies, where through your school work and field training you can work towards becoming a SeeD.
