*sigh* Why does this feel so familiar?

Um, h-hello, everyone. My name's 2nd Lieute...er...Agen...um...Kusuha Mizuha! It looks like I'll be working here for a little while, so please take care of me. I might not look it, but I have some experience with this sort of thing, so I'll do my best!

Oh, and if you have any questions about my world, you can ask me or Lieu--Enforcer Katina.

[Filtered to Katina]

Lieutenant, you found your room okay, right? I almost got lost in one of the gardens...

Oh, you must be Lachesis. It's nice to meet you!

Um, but please, call me Kusuha.

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

As you wish, Lady Kusuha. It's good to meet you as well.

. . . It appears as if most here hail from a time period far to the future of my own -- If I may inquire, what sort of world do you call home?

[soylent-genki.livejournal.com]

The future...?

Well, I'm not really sure how to descibe it to someone from somewhere else, but I think it's pretty normal...most people grow up, go to school, get a job somewhere...there's the Earth Federation and the space colonies, as far as government goes, um...there's occasionally some aliens that are interested in Earth for some reason and show up with their army...

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

Ah. Space colonies. And aliens? How. Peculiar.

[soylent-genki.livejournal.com]

Well, the aliens are fairly new...there's just a lot of them.

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

. . . I see. Well. I am . . . sorry? I hope your people will be successful in driving them away.

Out of idle curiosity, what do these aliens look like?

[soylent-genki.livejournal.com]

Most of them are human, actually. It's a little confusing. Then there's the Einst which are kind of like...plants? I guess?

Um, but it's pretty safe there now! The war's over...again. So everything should be back to being peaceful, at least for a while.

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

Plant. Aliens? Like the stories of the ghostly trees, then? I never believed them myself, but . . .

That is good to hear. Peace, however brief it may be, is always welcome.

[soylent-genki.livejournal.com]

Yeah. And if it doesn't last, there are plenty of good people willing to fight for it. President Graein notwithstanding.

So what's your world like?

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

My world? . . . Jugdral is a land ruled by kings and noblemen, where battles are conducted on horseback, pegasi, and dragons. Presently, we are engaged in a war spanning the entire continent.

[soylent-genki.livejournal.com]

Oh, it sounds just like a fairy t...er, well, a little violent for a fairy tale, but a fantasy story, at least.

And there's a war going on there too...

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

Fantasy? As much as I may wish it to be, I can assure you, it is no fantasy. Lives are lost daily. Fear runs rampant; any peace we may have lasts but a fleeting moment. After the battles raging throughout Nodion, my own people can hardly hope to last through the winter, let alone the entirety of Agustria.

. . .

Ah. . . . I apologize for the outburst. My temper has been getting the best of me lately . . . My affairs are hardly any of your concern.

[soylent-genki.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, it's my fault! I only meant...

I'm sorry. And it is my concern. I-if people are suffering that badly, someone needs to help them!

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

It is not something you would be allowed to interfere with, I'm afraid. The war must run its course naturally. I only hope that Lord Sigurd will be successful in the end . . .

[soylent-genki.livejournal.com]

R-right. That's not what we're supposed to be doing here...

Well, if Lord Sigurd and his knights (knights, right?) are anything like my friends, he'll definitely win!

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

. . . Blind optimism, I'm afraid, is not an attitude I can adopt at this point. But thank you, nonetheless.
