While in Seattle, he occasionally plays with the good folk of the [[Inland Ocean]] where he takes ruthless beatings from vastly superior fighters. He once rode the bus for over two hours to go back, only to remember that they meet on Saturday and not Sunday, but he hasn't forgotten which day they play since.
