♕ First Experiment ♕ video . // Inside the Mansion

[shittyglasses]

Hello~!? Is there any one- woah.

[There was a new face in Wonderland and at the moment she was covered in dirt. After spending the night inside a dirt hole (thanks for that, Illumi) she was finally making her way about the mansion. She had just walked into the dinner room and pulled her glasses up in awe.]

This is fancy. What did I stumble upon, some sort of palace?

[She reached a table and picked up a glass flicking at it just to make sure she wasn't dreaming all of this up. Luxuries like these were rare if not non-existent in her world. She took a seat bouncing on the cushioned chair just for the hell of it. This definitely was a new standard for her. She picked up a glass and examined it, tapping it with her nail curiously.]

Too bad this place seems to be abandoned, I could really use a glass of wate-

[Just like that, the glass began to fill forcing the girl out of the chair and the glass out of her hand. It landed on the floor with a loud crash.]

Did that thing just...

[She moved to the table picking up another glass. Again, it filled up with water. She didn't drop it this time and instead brought it slowly to her nose. It smelled like water. She peered through the glass at that clear liquid. It looked like water. She slowly brought it to her lips and took a sip.]

It is water. [What the hell is going on here.] Where is it coming from?!

[Guess who is going to get all the glasses in the room filled with water at this rate...]

Comments

[Video] Sorry this is so late! <3

[For her credit, she does listen. Her expression is even, for the most part, moderate - not angry, not curious but certainly not happy. Emotions are still rather empty for her. It's amazing she is showing any frustration at Hange. Then again, it's a cup of water.]

The cup isn't that informative. [Though she gets what she is saying.] The walls are our closets. Why can we wish for inconsequential things but not our friends and family?

[Video] No worries

[shittyglasses]

I wouldn't know but I could guess. An individual needs water to survive. Perhaps it is all based on necessity.

[Video]

[lux_ex_tenebris]

And they get to decide what is essential? [Presumptive deities. What's new about that?]

[Video]

[shittyglasses]

Although I agree that emotional stability is necessary to live, I don't think it's necessary to survive which is a possible reason. But that would take some time to experiment over, figure out what is truly passable in this world.

[Video]

[lux_ex_tenebris]

Sounds like you need to get started. [All she feels like doing is hitting walls with her sword.] Where can I help?

[Because she will. This is a good cause.]

[Video]

[shittyglasses]

[Well, what a change. First she was almost giving her a lecture and now she wanted to help? She leaned into the screen.]

You can start by telling me your name.

[She was pretty. Even when she was angry. It was rare to see pretty girls actually having some form of initiative.]

[Video]

[lux_ex_tenebris]

[She blinks, confused. No one has asked her name in five hundred years. She was either sleeping or being called "the Savior".

But no, that isn't her name.]

Lightning. [It sounds stilted.] Lightning Farron.

[Video]

[shittyglasses]

That's a very unique name! [Pretty bad-ass. You're called lightning.] I'm Hange Zoe. What do you do in your world, Lightning? How can you help me?

[Video]

[lux_ex_tenebris]

The current world is ending. [She isn't sad or panicked. It's just a thing that is happening.] The god Bhunivelze has charged me with the duty of guiding souls to the new world he will create when time runs out.

I am a warrior. [And a guardian.]

[Video]

[shittyglasses]

That sounds morbidly depressing.

[Although Hange knew nothing about Gods and such and souls, she knew what it was to be at the brink of extinction. This makes things a bit more serious.]

Now when you mean 'guarding souls', are you talking about moving people from one place to the other or are you referring to the actual sense. [Lightning, are you killing people and sending them off to wherever dead people go off too?]

[Video]

[lux_ex_tenebris]

Presently, yes. It won't stay that way.

[She has to focus on that; she has to believe. Without a new path to follow and a brighter future, what use is she?]

I do what I must. [The monsters harvest many souls, but there are those who do not die easily. Lightning does not let them suffer.]

[Video]

[shittyglasses]

Let's hope things are not that serious as to need your home skills.

[But hey, no point in the depressing. She gave her a weak smile.]

I'm sure we will find answers soon!

[Video]

[lux_ex_tenebris]

I wouldn't rule that out. [If possibilities are endless, everything is possible. Lightning crosses her arms over her chest.] Keep working on the defenses and we will get closer.

[Video]

[shittyglasses]

I'll do my best.

[Video]

[lux_ex_tenebris]

... [She blinks at the enthusiasm, surprised.] I can't ask for more.

[Video]

[shittyglasses]

[Get used to it she is a ball of optimism.] You could always help. Maybe if we get to know each other you won't be angry with me at times?

[Video]

[lux_ex_tenebris]

You want to know me? [Those words are foreign to her. The supreme soldier looks downright innocent for a split second, blue eyes wide. Then she gets control of herself.] We have time.

[Video]

[shittyglasses]

[She noticed that.] You're not used to people are you? [Don't worry. She was used to this sort of company.] I don't bite. Unless you want me to.

[Video]

[lux_ex_tenebris]

Not anymore. [She snorts.] I don't find any pleasure in pain. I'd rather alleviate it.

[Video]

[shittyglasses]

Then a few drinks and some warm hugs should do the trick. Maybe. I have become a little out of touch with the social norms myself.

[Video]

[lux_ex_tenebris]

The drinks won't work on me and I don't hug strangers. [It's strange. She isn't even sure she can feel the emotion needed to want to hug someone anymore.] But it's not a bad start.

Save violence for our captors.

[Video]

[shittyglasses]

What? [Whoa, what? Did she hear her right?]

What do you mean drinks won't work? Does alcohol make you sick?

[Video]

[lux_ex_tenebris]

It doesn't effect me. [Being half a deity has a downside.] I told you I'm not quite human anymore.

[Video]

[shittyglasses]

Right. I'm not quite used to people being extraordinary. It's a real shame you can't enjoy a drink. I'll make sure to drink twice as much in your honor.

[Video]

[lux_ex_tenebris]

[Whoa. Is this a smile? Yes, it is.]

Don't make yourself sick. I'll survive without alcohol.

[This woman reminds her a little of a certain woman from Oerba (Gran Pulse). It's painful and nice.]
