[001] Video + Action for Freya District

[pastahair]

[A timid woman appears on the feed and to some... she may look familiar, but there's something different about her.]

H-Hello? Everyone can hear me, right? [She gives the bracelet a curious look.] My name is Beatrice Castiglioni, I have only been here a few days and... Could someone explain to me these recent contests I have been seeing? Some of them looked quite fun.

[She puts on a nervous, but warm smile.] By the way, does anyone happen to know a man by the name of Kinzo Ushiromiya? If so, please let him know that I am here.

Battler Ushiromiya, Ange Ushiromiya, and Rudolf Ushiromiya.

I am a...friend of the family's. [Her tone is mocking, almost daring someone like Ange or Battler to come and call her out on it. ]

[pastahair]

Are they all his children?

[She can sense that, but being in an unfamiliar place surrounded by unfamiliar people, not to mention the fact that she's just recovered from the massacre at Rokkenjima... she will play along for now.]

Would you care to tell me your name? Or at least a nickname so I can call you by something?

[wittlich]

Rudolf is his son. Battler and Ange are Rudolf's children.

My name? Why are you interested in such a boring thing like that? [har har har. lesse how long she stays calm for.]

[pastahair]

What? [Kinzo already had grandchildren?]

Why are you hiding? [Her patience is thinning.]

[wittlich]

Did you not hear me? Or is the fact that he has grandchildren at this point in time so shocking?

[snrk]

Hiding is such a cowardly thing to do. I'm merely not wasting your time with unimportant details.

[pastahair]

Well... It's just that... He never mentioned them.

A name is not unimportant. It gives us a way to be recognized as an individual.

[wittlich]

Most likely because of temporal distortion on your part.

And yet some do not have names at all. They are only letters strung together because most cannot recognize from a presence alone.

[pastahair]

What exactly do you mean by 'temporal distortion'?

That's why I feel so sad for people who have to live such lives, going around nameless, or with only a title that labels them as property rather than an a human being. Life is gray to them. [She would know the latter well.]

[wittlich]

Time. Much time has passed.

How compassionate of you.

[pastahair]

Do you mean they are... from the future?

[wittlich]

He would be too young to have grandchildren otherwise, would he not?

[pastahair]

Well, yes... How is it possible for me to be meeting them now if so much time has passed, though?
