[Action]

Setsuna knew something was wrong as soon as she realized she wasn't in her room, the unfamiliar ceiling of the Bay staring her in the face. The unfamiliar weight over her stomach drew her attention, the young girl sitting up to sort through the box. She didn't seem to be in any immediate danger, indeed she still had her nodachi with her as she rifled through the boxes contents.

A part of her had wondered if she had somehow ended back up in Mundus Magicus, but the pamphlet quickly quelled that thought. Slipping the pendant around her neck, she made her way out of the Bay, bridging the long span of water in a single leap as she inspected the area around her, as well as the hologram awaiting her.

[Coming into view as the camera snaps on is a young girl with black hair pulled into a ponytail with a sword handle sticking up out of her shoulder. She's dressed in a school uniform as she looks into the camera.]

Ah, hello. I have read the pamphlet about this place and have seen the hologram. I have to wonder if anyone has seen any of my companions from my world here?

I suppose it would be best if I introduced myself. I am Setsuna. My companions are from a place called Mahora Academy where we were students once. I suppose the name Ala Alba or White Wings would also work since that was a name of our group.

It is nice to meet all of you.

They do have bounties listed out for cities. They require a bit of finesse though, because competition is pretty strong.

[ She watches as it seems Yuunagi is surprisingly cool with Setsuna. Normally they're a lot more nonchalant. ]

Oh, she really likes you!

[gladiara_alata]

Is that right? Then perhaps that could be something for me to do.

[It would certainly let her use her skills and not be merely some convenience store worker. ...She really should learn some other skills that weren't related to magic and fighting.

The swordswoman does pet Yuunagi as the umbreon comes closer, running her fingers over the pokemon's ears.]

Mm...I'm glad for that. They're definitely cute.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ Yuunagi makes a pleasant trilling noise, reminiscent of a fox. ]

Good luck on the bounties. On the off days, you could help me with my store!

[gladiara_alata]

[Setsuna doesn't stop petting Yuunagi even as she looks up at Konoka quizzically.]

Oh? And what kind of store do you run?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Oh, I run a charms store! I basically lend out protective eastern magic charms to people. Useful for Everglade! I still do a lot of healing, but I don't charge for that and it's on an as-needed basis.

[gladiara_alata]

Oh? Maybe I could help you out there then?

[She's got her own charm knowledge after all and makes them too. It's how Chibi-Setsuna came to be after all.]

Hm...I don't...really have much other marketable skills.

[Swordfighting, magic use, ki, charms....There's not really much else she's good at out of the blue.]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Oh, you'd be a definite help! In a way, this is a lot better than chasing bounties alone. Plus you can help people in ways battle alone doesn't!

[ Konoka seems downright excited at the prospect of Setsuna helping out at her store. ]

[gladiara_alata]

Then I'll be happy to be working with you, Oujou-sama.

[It'd give her time to recover from bounty hunting too. She's not naïve enough to think she's strong enough for every bounty to go easily.]

Mayhaps I could even room with you. Share rent expenses as well.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Oh, that's wonderful!

[ Konoka looks like she won the lottery. Again. ]

I can help you find whatever you need! You can sleep in the bed with me!

[gladiara_alata]

Well I'll be happy to share your apartment with yo-

[Wait...did she say share the..bed?]

Ojou-sama! I can't share a bed with you. That'd be improper!

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ Konoka was this close into puffing her cheeks in anger (and frustration) but that lapse was gone a moment later; this was Setsuna she was dealing with, time away had made her almost forget what that was like.

And Konoka wouldn't be a good girlfriend if she couldn't remember all the things that made Setsuna... well, Setsuna, right? ]

C'mon, Secchan, the bed's big enough for both of us and it'd save on money! Plus Eva-chan's got the couch and she tends to be a little territorial so...

[ She shook that thought away. ]

And besides, it's easier to protect me when you're close, right~?

[gladiara_alata]

[Saving money was a good idea. After all she knew she had to be frugal with what she got so far until she figured out how much she actually had and a way to make more.]

Well...if you put it that way.

[Plus she didn't want to bother Evangeline like that either. She liked not being toyed with by the Shinso.]
