[For someone who's just been kidnapped and brought to another world, Ikaruga seems to be taking this all in stride. If anything, the pink haired woman almost looks amused by the situation.]

My, my. Kidnapping a lady? How unseemly.

[There is one thing she's pleased about - her sword is in tact.]

Still, I do owe some small token of my gratitude. Debt shall be repaid for a gift as precious as the stars.

[She looks about ready to turn off the communicator before turning to the camera again with a little bow of her head.]

I am called Ikaruga. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Oooh... you're really pretty.

I'm Sophie. It's nice to meet you, Ikaruga.

[elegant_and_proud]

What a nice young lady you are, Sophie. Perchance, could you give me some information about this place?

video

[blossomgale]

Did you learn anything from the letter? I'm still trying to learn a lot about this place too. I know there's gods... like Thor, Freya, Loki. I don't know the others.

[elegant_and_proud]

The letter was not especially informative, but if our duty is to flourish, what else can we do but strive to excel?

video

[blossomgale]

Strive... to excel? [ A slight tilt of her head, like she's unsure what those words mean. ] I heard we're supposed to restore life by interacting with each other.

video

[elegant_and_proud]

That doesn't mean we cannot do our best in everything that we do, yes? I could interact with others simply by talking to them...or I could try to do something more productive with my time while interacting with people.

video

[blossomgale]

What else are you going to do, Ikaruga?

video

[elegant_and_proud]

Hmm...well, I suppose it would be wisest to seek employment first. I might be willing to teach a few select students the art of the sword as well.

video

[blossomgale]

Seek employment? That means... looking for a job. How do you do that? If you get your own money, you don't have to eat the food from the houses anymore.

They're not bad, but I get tired of eating the same thing.

[machinajackass]

The gods obviously don't know how to treat a lady.

[elegant_and_proud]

Most unpleasant of them. Still, one must adapt or be overwhelmed with distress.

[machinajackass]

That's all someone really can do in this situation.

[elegant_and_proud]

Fortunately, I am accustomed to adapting. I find it better to do my best in all endeavours and to accept what I cannot change with grace.

[machinajackass]

Impressive. Not everyone can so easily accept something like that.

[elegant_and_proud]

I am alive and my blade is in tact and in my hands. It's not in my nature to fuss over trifling things.

[machinajackass]

Your blade? So you are a swordswoman?

[elegant_and_proud]

Yes. I am a master of New Moon school, my good sir.

Hmmm~

You remind me of someone, old hag! [he calls every lady that, don't worry. feel free to take offense though.]

video;

[elegant_and_proud]

My, what an ill-mannered boy. Did no one ever tell you it's impolite to comment on a lady's age?

video;

[capriciously]

Does it really matter? Age doesn't count for anything, when you're fighting a war. [shrugs.]

video;

[elegant_and_proud]

Age lends itself well to experience, but not everyone manages to gain wisdom from their experiences.

video;

[capriciously]

Not everyone who gains wisdom survives, though!

video;

[elegant_and_proud]

Not everyone, no. Sometimes one is simply not strong enough, fast enough, or fortunate enough to survive. Fortunately, I have yet to have such trouble.

video;

[capriciously]

Oh~? So that means you're strong, then!

The Death's Head Caucus guild would never suffer a weak leader. Such a thing would be a grave insult.
