[ After the eggs' effect ran out, Sertoria was thankful that she returned to her normal self. However, she considers it to be a humbling experience to be reverted to her human self. It gave her a time to be happier and not so concerned about the way the universe in general was back home. There's a part of her that wishes she could return to that self readily here, but knows that she's better off by being her older self. She has the experience necessary, after all, and the development to deal with whatever may come her way.

Due to being older and therefore, more experienced, her tone isn't as cheerful as it was. There's still warmth in her gaze and a general kindness that she has for everyone here. Her hair's returned to its' blond color and her eyes are their normal blue ones when she addresses the camera. ]

I would like to thank those who offered me assistance when I was younger. It is times like those that make me happy for doing what I do for humanity in general.

[ A pause as she rubs at her chin in thought. ]

Surely there is something I can do for those who aided me...? I will not mind -- it is only right to repay your generosity for helping me.

For those who I did not remember during that time, I would like to apologize. Normally, my memory is not affected in the slightest. [ She remembers everything, after all. ]

I am happy to see that we are all back to normal, though.

[ video | private to chaos ]

I recall that you were working on a machine. I apologize that I was not able to help you out to the fullest due to being younger and not having the knowledge necessary. Would you care to meet again so that I can help you out further?

[ After her video post on the network, Sertoria's immediately back to work. She can be found at the hospital doing her daily routine there by helping patients or catching up on neglected paperwork brought on by being reverted to her younger self. Other than that, she can also be found wandering around the city, again in just that tunic and sandals that she's normally found in. ]

wildcard!

[ Don't see something here that works if you want to get some interactions going with Sertoria? Set up something and I'll work with it! ]

Oh no. We owe apologies for what we did?

[frick.]

A-Ah, no! It is only me who should apologize since I did not remember those I interacted with when I was younger.

[ This is how she generally deals with things -- by profusely apologizing for sometimes nothing at all. ]

The machine I was working on is in its final stages of development. The only real issue was the power supply - I've worked that out for the production models, but the ones I was testing when we met are special; they each have a Vessel of Anima installed in them. If you think you have some insights to offer on the physics and metaphysics involved, I would be happy to hear them.

Oh. Good. [Why does his conscience say he should be apologizing anyway?]

I somehow doubt you actually owe an apology for that. It's not your fault.

[ It's always better to apologize, at least according to Sertoria. She's a little curious as to his behavior, it making her raise a slight brow in response. ] Did you end up doing something that you ordinarily would not?

And while that may be true, I cannot help but think that there were those who could have used my assistance when I was younger.

If you think too much about what you could've done, you're going to go crazy.

[He looks away, guilty.] I might've... threatened something a bit extreme.

[ No, she doesn't know anything about that. What would she know about that? Hahaha, Uai, you're funny. ]

What would that be?

[ Vessel of Anima...? That isn't anything that she's familiar with quite well, but that doesn't mean that she's not going to at least try to understand it. ]

First, do you mind explaining what a Vessel of Anima is?

Ah, just... sorta... threatening to burn the city down and drop everyone into... hell...

[...]

When I say it out loud, I realize I do owe some apoliges.

I... suppose your younger self was quite the extremist...?

[ Somehow, this feels a bit like a confessional to her. ]

I am sure that people will understand if you just apologize outright.

Ah, no. Apologies. Past me was a pushover doormat who would wander into traffic.

I was split in two... Uh? 'Good' me and 'Bad' me? Though they were both...

Ya know what? Let's start over. Hi, I'm Uai. Please don't label me as a psychopath just yet.

[ No judgments here! Instead, the angel simply grins and lightly chuckles in response. ]

Hello, my name is Sertoria. It is a pleasure to meet you, Uai. Do not worry, I will not label you as a psychopath.

Nice to meet you, Ms Sertoria.

That was quite the eventful week that we had, wasn't it? I hope all our months don't start out that way.

It's kind of a long story, but... I'll try to give you the short version.

The Vessels of Anima are containers for power. Each one holds a portion of the power wielded by the universal failsafe, which is designed to reset the entirety of the lower domain to the beginning if its stability threatens the higher domain. Individually, at full strength, each one is capable of destroying entire solar systems, if attached to a suitable weapons system. In the state they're in right now, however... I'm hoping they can be adapted to serve as protective drones for exceptional individuals, in the event of another shield breach.

The production models will have a similar functionality, but on a much reduced scale. The hardest part has been developing the drive systems to a usable state.

[ Sertoria takes the time to consider his words, weighing them carefully before she responds with what she thinks. ]

Would it be possible to design them with another's power?

The pleasure is all mine, Uai.

Genessia tends to keep one on their toes, I have noticed. It is hard to guess when the next event will happen.

Event, huh? So this is Genessia's way of keeping the game interesting?

[He gives his head a little shake.]

Don't get me wrong: I hate being bored. But last week was rather... personal.

I suppose it is. At least it is a pleasant break from back home.

[ There were multitudes of problems that always needed her attention, more or less. ]

No, I totally understand. It was a touch personal for me as well.

[ While she has no issues with her selves, it's rare that the self Genessia was given would carry what she had on her person. ]

Ah, it's a break for you? It's been a pretty inconvenient detour for me.

[No, it's actually good for him. He needs to stop being so devoted to Hana.]

If I'm going to be kept entertained, I'd like it to be less... painful? Emabrrassing..? There's a word. I just can't think of it.

It may be, but I would have to fashion vessels to hold that power. If the power is complementary to what I'm already using, it may even be possible to create... something far more powerful than the sum of parts involved.

Are you offering to let me try using your power for this?

More or less, but I agree with you. I have been away from home for quite some time, but I suppose it could be worse.

[ Then again, she's always used to working -- nonstop at that. Ten billion people depended on her, after all. ]

Demoralizing? I understand, though, since I do not like control being wrested out of my hands.

Yeah, that. Sometimes I forget that this all started from feeling so powerless.

Then again, I wasn't turned into a past version of myself. That must have been really annoying. We do our best to improve ourselves, then someone resets it. Rude.

I am, as long as it would be used solely for good.

[ For some reason, she feels like she can trust chaos. It's weird, but the feeling is there. ]

[ That gives her pause. Has she truly improved from who she used to be? Or is she just simply hiding behind a mask? It's definitely some food for thought. ]

I... suppose it was rude, yes. I did not like feeling so powerless.

Have you been here for very long? Do you know if that sort of thing is a common way to start the month?
