[ None of this whole being in a pod in a strange new place bit is phasing Neptune. It's just another game opener right, the opening credits should roll any second now. ]

[ Video ]

I'm gonna be short and to the point, where can I find pudding, and I guess what's the backstory for this place or is there like a villain that's the big bad that I have to fight or something?

[Uai is trying not to laugh. Her response to the situation has to be the best one he has seen so far.]

Oh, come on. At least fake some enthusiasm.

[nepu]

I would but this isn't the first time I've been dumped in a new place just cause the story needs to go on. Kinda gets boring after awhile you know?

[ubiquitously]

Aw, that sucks. So you're a main character? Maybe you just need to find your successor, or get killed off.

[nepu]

Well duh I'm the main character, also I'm not going to get killed off! Plot armor prevents that.

[ubiquitously]

Sounds convenient. But you never know. If you become boring, they're gonna have to kill you off and replace you. That's just how long term serializations go.

[nepu]

My name is in the title, they can't just replace me. I mean there's been like 12 games already and an anime and stuff.

[ubiquitously]

... Okay, valid point! If you've survived that long.

I concede defeat.

[nepu]

Score one for Neptune.

[ubiquitously]

So then! Either you're forth wall breaking, or you come from a very interesting world. Take pity on this loser and elaborate, please.

[nepu]

Well, it's a little bit of both. I'm the queen of 4th wall breaking and of course I'm also the main character.

[ It's a wonder how Neptune manages to save the world so many times. ]

[ubiquitously]

Sounds like you must lead a very exciting life, then. So what's your name, Ms Title character?

[nepu]

Oh, yeah I haven't formally given my name yet. I'm Neptune!

[ubiquitously]

And I'm Uai! It's wonderful to meet you, Ms Neptune. It isn't every day one meets the Queen of 4th Wallbreaking.

How are you settling in Genessia?

[nepu]

You don't have to be so formal, just Neptune is fine.

Honestly this place isn't terribly different from my home so it's pretty easy to settle in.

[ubiquitously]

So you're a modern day type, huh?

Well, Neptune. Should you need any guidance, I would be happy to assist. I've been here for a few months now.

[nepu]

Guess that's a good way to put it, my nation is always leading the way in technology.

[ She's totally up to date with all the memes and popular things. ]

Well, if you're offering where is a good place to get pudding here?

[fairysoul]

Try Mokona's Magical Cafe. They have the best cakes in Fayren. [See Fai? She advertizes every chance she gets. She should be paid for that. Preferably in cakes.]

The last part is still up for debate. But if you listened to the hologram introduction, you know about as much as we do on the subject.

[nepu]

I kinda just hit fast forward on that, figured I'd wing it without the tutorial.

[fairysoul]

Oh? Well, I guess I could fill you in, then. What would you be more interested in knowing?

[nepu]

Well, do I have to work here? Can I just play video games or does being a goddess not count as a job...

[fairysoul]

A goddess? ...I'm afraid it wouldn't count as a job per se, no.

[A goddess who like playing... video games? That's something you don't see every day.]

Why kind of powers do you have?

[nepu]

Well I transform into this super cool form and have lots of powers then.

[fairysoul]

Could you give me examples?

[nepu]

Well, I can fly and I'm super strong plus I get a real sexy body.

[fairysoul]

Being able to fly and being very strong are very useful abilities. [Not going to comment on the last one, nope.]

What is your name?

[nepu]

I'm Neptune ~

[fairysoul]

Nice to meet you. I'm Mavis.
