fifth purification. [backdated to Grell's announcement.]

[ After Grell's latest announcement, Hikaru has decided to make a statement of her own since she was given the position of Guardian of Everglade along with Seth. She hasn't really said anything about the whole matter up until now and she figured it'd be a good time to break the silence. She's decided to dress in her dress uniform since her standard uniform wouldn't have been appropriate for this broadcast. Her hair's done up in its' usual ponytail, mainly to keep her hair away from her eyes. ]

Hello. For those who don't know me, my name is Hikaru Takeda, your new co-Guardian of Everglade. [ She's so used to saying Deputy Guardian of Everglade after her name, but bygones are bygones at this point. ] Back home, I'm the Superintendent General of the PIPE, a military organization that's tasked to defend the Earth from intergalactic threats. I've been in my position for twenty-two years now and have done a lot during that time to defend those who cannot fight for themselves back home, implement programs that have proven to work and continue to do so years after, among other things. I hope to apply some of the successful systems that have worked back home into the Guardian office, too, so that you all have a sense of calm while we're going forward with this sudden change.

Going forward, I would like to say that I'm interested in opening the lines of communication for Everglade as a whole more than what they have been. Should anyone have an issue with how we're running things or if anyone would like to offer constructive criticism, my direct line is always open. I'll be working with Guardian Rim on ideas that we can work on to make Everglade a lot better than it has been recently.

Also, I would like to personally thank everyone who pitched in to help Everglade out when chaos broke out during the arson.

[ private text to Tony ]

I'll be spending more time than I do already in the office. You gonna be all right, Tony?

[So one of the new Guardians of Everglade, eh? She's looking professional so far. Now that the matter of Grell's disappearance is resolved, Qubine will get back to his one mission that he hasn't had any luck with yet.]

Greetings. I am Qubine, a Deputy Guardian in Fayren. I will look forward to having closer relations with the Guardians of Everglade.

First I'd like to ask, how familiar are you with the spirits beyond the barrier?

[She must know something about them, assuming that she's been here for some length of time. He doubts she would've become Guardian if she hadn't...]

Nice to formally meet you co-Guardian Takeda Hikaru. I'm K2SO, one of Attleton's deputies.

Twenty-two year is a noteworthy length of experience. [He's impressed and slightly confused. She seems fairly young after all.] I hope that from now on our two cities can work together more seamlessly if a crisis strikes

I had little desire to see Everglade go up in flames. I would have fought those fires whether I was a deputy guardian or not.

Hey, don't worry about me. You go kick ass and take names and do whatever you gotta, alright?

Congratulations, Co-Guardian Takeda. Like I told your Co-Guardian Rim already, I hope for good relations between Everglade and Attleton, as they used to be. I wish you good luck in your new position.

Lord a the Sea, if that was chaos I'm a shittin' goldfish.

Anyway, good luck sweetheart.

Well met Guardian Hikaru, my name is All Might, a hero from another land. In times like these, I would like to offer my assistance to your cause. Not as a permanent position mind you, but if you've noticed I have been performing charitable acts around all the cities.

I ask for your permission, as well as all others in performing my duties as a certified Hero.
