[Have your first look at Tear Grants.]

[The video's upside down and way too close to her face. Her brows are furrowed and there's the reflection of her bracelet in her blue eyes. But it rights itself as Tear pulls back and corrects the video, giving a much nicer view of a stern-faced girl with long brown hair. She clears her throat.]

This is Sergeant Tear Grants speaking. I've been given a rundown of the situation thus far. ....It seems for the moment there's no alternative. 

I've been told this device is a means of communication. If possible, I'd like to know who is here, and see what can be done.

[A curt nod, and click off.]

Yep... she's my boss at the moment. [ a sigh as he stretches his arms a bit. ] I run off to a place like this, and she still manages to follow me.

Oh well... keeps things interesting.

..at least there's somebody from your home with you. That must be some source of comfort.

[She crosses her arms.] What are your plans from here?

Re: Video;

[satisfies]

You're stuck on your own? Ah... that is kinda sad. It must get pretty lonely.

Well... I'll keep doing my job, keeping her out of trouble. And see what happens along the way. That was how I spent my days back home too, so no reason to change a good thing.

[She looks up, poker face back.] I'm fine on my own.

That's quite some loyalty to your boss, if you will continue to work despite being sent to another world. ..though I suppose stability is best now.

[satisfies]

What can I say? I do what I know... and what I know is doing my job.

If your superiors showed up here, wouldn't you do the same?

[She blinks, a bit thrown by the question, and pauses to consider. Once upon a time, the answer would have been an immediate 'yes', but..after Mohs...]

..that would depend on all the circumstances at hand.

[ huh. someone in the military willing to think for herself? ]

Not following orders could get you into trouble. It's gotten me into a jam plenty of times.

Blind, unquestioning obedience leads to horrible problems of it's own. I've learned it's best to believe in the orders you're following, rather than shutting off your brain.

[But perhaps it does make her a bad soldier. Being the model knight isn't as important to her as it once was.]

[satisfies]

Plus just following orders all the time isn't any fun. Life's more interesting when you do your own thing occasionally... even if it gets you into a bit of trouble.

[ he doesn't really care much either way... ]

I'm proud to be a soldier, so there's no use complaining about being given orders. Though it is nice to have some freedom...even if it was forced upon us.

Your boss. How is she doing, being here too?

[Video]

[satisfies]

Being a soldier's the only thing I know how to do, one way or the other. So I really have no choice.

Hm... I think she's a bit worried, but she hides it. There's a chance something good might happen for her though... so I've got my fingers crossed it will.

[Video]

[fortunes-arc.livejournal.com]

It's the only thing I've ever been. [Perhaps she's said too much. She shakes her head.]

Perhaps it will. Stranger things have happened.

[Video]

[satisfies]

Same here. Cheers for that. [ and he just tips his hat somewhat. ]

What about you? Are you hoping for any miracles?

[Video]

[fortunes-arc.livejournal.com]

But you're not anymore, you said?

Not particularly. Just some answers.

[Video]

[satisfies]

Hm... well, I've switched lines of work, but you never really stop being a soldier. [ a slight smile. ]

At the rate things are going, getting those might be a miracle too.

[Video]

[fortunes-arc.livejournal.com]

Hm. True. [She gives a little smile in return.]

I can't disagree with that. So we'll have to find them instead of waiting.

[satisfies]

So where do we start? You have any ideas?
