I have no words

I'm really disappointed and angry right now. That promotion; I didn't get it. Though of the applicants, I was probably the best choice, it was given to someone else. I was taken into the Superintendent's office and he explained it to me.

It all boils down to one thing.

I'm Okinawan. I'm Okinawan and the other applicants were Tokyo born.

He told me that no one would take me seriously because of that one thing.

It doesn't matter that I have JSDF service and a great arrest record. It doesn't matter that I do my job well and that I can lead a team. Because of my island roots, no one will respect me or listen to me if I were promoted at this time. Maybe next time, after I've proved myself more.

So that's how it is. I have to prove myself? Fine with me. I'll show that closed minded idiot what an islander can do. Next time, I won't get passed over.

You've already proved yourself!

I know. But it's going to be the same no matter where I go. I'm picking my fight, Genichirou, and it's not this one. Let the moron he picked fuck up royally and watch me sweep in the make things right. That is how I win.

I don't want to work for such a close-minded man.

You know. Sometimes I forget how different you are from normal mainlanders. Then you go and remind me.

Do what you think is right. I'll be behind you, watching your back.

I'm going to make him wish he was never so bigoted.

I would love to see this. But I think it's safer if I just stay at the dojo with the bags for a while.

I'll either be coming home fired or promoted.

[captain-kite.livejournal.com]

I see. Then should I head home and wait?

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]

...No, go to the dojo. I'll meet you there.

Warn me when you arrive. I don't want you in my crossfire.

[kobanemperor.livejournal.com]
