Come on.. I was waiting for it, but.. why isn't anyone speaking up about this?!

[ Congratulations, Asgard, you now have the addition of one fierce redhead newcomer - or rather, a loudmouth, considering how she's practically yelling at the bracelet without seeming to show much shame over doing so. She isn't entirely angry though, even if that's more obvious, but there's something almost.. nervous about the way she speaks too, as if she still can't completely grasp the situation. ]

This is practically nothing more than a kidnapping case, isn't it?! 'You have been chosen', don't make me laugh..! And they can just do that to us, like it's something normal? They can't just get away with something like that, it's wrong! This is the kind of thing you're supposed to call the cops over, or at least do something--

[ The girl halts mid-sentence because.. well, yes, she doesn't know what to do either right now, especially not while she's still caught up in the surprise. At least it seems to calm her down a bit more, even if she still seems dissatisfied. ]

... There's got to be at least someone who can give some more answers, right? Or maybe it's all some weird dream..

[ People from Heimdall are also free to see the newcomer yell at her bracelet in person and all. ]

[ a quiet nod. ]

... Ah, I'm Asahi, by the way. Asahi Yuki. Sorry for not introducing myself earlier, I was pretty upset about this whole deal. Still sort of am about the 'kidnapping' thing, but..

It's nice to meet you, Asahi. [A shallow bow.] My name's Nakarai Mako, but I go by Nakama.

Then.. just calling you Nakama should be alright, huh?

That's fine. [She smiles a little.] You're Japanese, right? You'll find that some people keep honorifics and some just go by the Asgard language, but no one's really offended either way. It's mostly up to you.

Yeah, I sometimes use them, but.. it often feels a little too stiff, you know? I prefer to just use a more direct approach!

And.. it helps it some people here aren't Japanese to start with, I guess.

I like to be polite, but I just found that it was harder and harder to remember them as time went on... I guess you get used to things here, a new language and people from all different worlds, and customs from home don't feel as important.

I don't mean you forget...! Not the really important things. You just start to adapt after awhile.

... Forgetting important things sure would suck.. I mean, I'm not about to put up with being kidnapped, but that would only make it even worse!

But.. no matter how long it takes, I'm not going to stop trying to look for some way out.

You won't be alone. [Seriously, with no hint of mockery.] There are people who don't care, and people who want to stay, but there are a lot who have sworn to leave this place. It's been a long time with no sign of one, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.

.. Exactly. I don't believe there's such a thing as something that's impossible or useless! [ okay, now she's actually cracking a smile. ]

As long as we keep trying, we'll find it somehow.

I hope you do. There really are people who shouldn't be here. I mean, my work was done, but so many people seem to have been taken from the middle of theirs... and really bad situations back home, too. They should be allowed to know that their friends and family will end up safe before they start their work here.

If it's up to me.. I don't think any of us should be here. [ She crosses her arms. ] Kidnapping is just wrong. Even if they had a good reason, they could've just asked if people wanted to help out!

I agree with that. Forcing people into fighting for your cause is never right. [And there's a ferocity about how she says that, not entirely in keeping with her earlier placid responses, which suggests that this isn't her first experience with it.]

But sometimes good can come from bad, and there really are some people who are happier here, or who have nothing to go home to. That's all I was saying.

I know, I know-- it's just.. I can't stand this kind of thing. [ injustice. ]

I wouldn't expect you to adjust to it on your first day. And really, I don't think staying mad is such a bad thing. There's a lot to be mad about here.

I just hope... I mean, for your own sake, that you can find some kind of life here. Fighting all the time, every second of every day, is too hard.
