[Just an average afternoon in Asgard, and the feed video is tilted at an awkward angle to reveal a certain someone's room. That certain someone is Kuroneko, dressed in her usual black Lolita dress, her headband adorned by roses. You only see her back as she stares out the window, petting what seems to be a black furball.]

Soon, they will know of my--A-Alice, what are you--

[The black furball is indeed a cat, and it manages to scramble out of her arms and back to her bed. The cat that Yozora had left on her doorstep still never listened to her. Perhaps the cat didn't respond to what Kuroneko renamed her, but no matter. Kuroneko keeps going with her...game. She spreads her arms out wide, still facing out the window like a queen on a balcony.]

Huhuhu. Go forth, my minion, and gather your kin. All according to my plan. Once this first step is done, Asgard will kneel to our forces of despair!

Beep, beep. Beep, beep. Click.

[She grabs her cell phone from her pocket and speaks into it, even if there's no one on the other end.]

Yes? Is that so...My my, what a conundrum. We all knew the gods had wished to conspire against our plans in the first place. No matter, I'll take care of it. I have a most cunning plan, after all--[GASP] No way! They've recruited Shikkoku into their ranks? Well, well. This may turn out to be more interesting than I thought it would be. Our victory shall be all the more sweeter.

[She raises her free hand up, almost posing.]

Especially as I, Kuroneko, the Fallen Saint of Senyou, will use this bracelet to--

[Wait..she doesn't have the bracelet. Kuroneko starts to search frantically around the room, looking for that goddamn bracelet. Eventually, you see her surprised face close to the screen.]

A-ah...I...

...

D-don't you dare pay any attention to this!

[As quickly as she blurts that out, the feed suddenly clicks off.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I've been here for a few months. [Not that it matters, since she's just a quirky otaku.]

You might as well have put others to sleep with that meager online handle. It should be an extension of your personality. A chance to take on a name that is much more interesting than the one you were given.

Ah. I was just wondering being magic from other worlds doesn't work here is all. Hopefully that doesn't interfere with your plans too much?

I see what you mean. The unfortunate truth of it is, even when I had a computer, I was never a terribly exciting person. I'd usually just log in to chat to friends about homework or television shows and whatnot. I guess I lack your creativity.

I have new powers here, so I will find a way to work it out to my own benefit. [She was almost about to type "I actually have powers here", but that would give everything away!]

[And well, creativity flows in abundance when one is an otaku with no real social life outside of a few select friends.] Ah, usage of the internet limited to rolling lazily like a pig in the mud. I see what kind of person you are now.

So, what house are you and what power do you have?

[You know, normally he'd take that as an insult and end the conversation. But this poor girl seems so wrapped up in her strangeness, he could almost swear it wasn't actually as harsh as it sounded. Maybe he was wrong, but he'd soldier on and see.]

Well, I wouldn't put it quite like that. I didn't use it much so didn't get too engrossed in it. I spent more time playing soccer or at the arcade with friends. Why? What did you use the internet for?

Hel, with Shadow Control. Nothing too drastically different.

[Well, looks like he does have a life. That makes her feel bad. Just a little bit.] Watching anime. Playing games. Talking to my friends. Posting my stories and art as well as reviewing the works of others.

Oh - that's interesting. I haven't actually met anyone with that ability yet. How are you finding it compared to what you used to have?

I see. I've never been too into anime, and I can't draw to save myself, but I do enjoy reading. If you have any of your stories, I wouldn't mind seeing them. I can even show you the one I've written since coming here and joining the Nightlight fan club.

It's a bit more inconvenient since it is at a level far below what mine was. I have to get used to a completely new source of power, and a weak one at that.

I have been working on some here. [Since she has nothing else better to do.] I have attempted to join the Nightlight fanclub before, however. [And ended up not going to the meeting out of her shyness.]

Well, your power grows based on your interactions with others, so, make sure to talk to a lot of people and it should get better for you. I recently gained level two in my own ability, but my friend Hanako has been level three for a while.

You attempted to? I don't recall seeing you at the meeting. Was there a problem getting there?

[Oh yeah, huh? Hisao had managed to remind Kuroneko of that fact...having to socialize with other people was so nerve-wracking and frustrating.]

It's rather unfortunate.

And as for the meeting, I had other things to attend to. [The...lights in her dorm were out and...her bracelet was being weird? Well, it works, right? Yeah. Something like that.]

It can be a little bit tricky, but rewarding too. There are people from so many worlds here, it's got to be impossible to find none of them interesting. Especially for someone of a magical sounding persuasion such as yourself.

That's a shame! I hope you can make the next one. If not, maybe we could meet some time to trade stories? I'd like to read your work, and I would enjoy a critique of my own.

However, the amount of idiots here can much outweigh the benefits.

[Hmm, this could be interesting. Hopefully Hisao is a good writer, or else he'll end up getting the most scathing critique ever.] I wouldn't be opposed to that. If you can handle my stories, that is. Huhuhu~

Interesting - I've actually found the opposite. There aren't that many idiots here, and most people are fairly nice if you give them a chance and can get past the oddness that comes from being from another world.

I'm fairly well read so I'm sure I can Handle anything you've got to offer. I am a novice writer myself though, so, you might find my own effort a bit elementary. Still, I'd like to get better.

You must have better luck than I do then. Either that you're one of them and don't realize it.

Fine with me. Is there an attachment option on this bracelet?

I'd like to think it was option A.

I'm not sure about attachments - I don't think so. But you can link to documents. Like this.

Well, we'll find out about that in due time.

Interesting. If only this network was as sophisticated as the internet back home, but apparently it would be asking too much of the "gods" who brought us here. I'll get to reading your work soon, as well as transferring mine.

I actually find the bracelet itself to be pretty cool - better than an iPhone or whatever. But the inability to access websites or anything like them is a pain. You're right. But anyway, take your time and I'll talk to you soon I guess.
