[Introduction] [Video]

[dives_through_rock]

[Okay, so, Sein. You've gotten pulled into a sitaution. And it's kind of a weird one. You're on another world, there's a weird necklace that marks you as 'real', and there's a person talking by hologram who has explained a few things. Still, you've got a couple basics, your inherent skill still seems to work on a partial test, and you can still do good things! Maybe.

First, though, there was the matter of announcing one's presence. And so, it was time to post using this communication device. Kind of made her think of Storage Devices from back home...]

Er, hello! I'm Sein, and... I guess I'm here now?

This is definitely an odd situation, to say the least. But perhaps I can figure out something. Someplace to stay, for one. I can... Well, do work, I guess? What church duties would be useful here, anyhow?

So. Hi.

[... Nailed it.]

[ Hee. Have a friendly blonde being among the first to greet the newcomer! ]

Hello, Sein. You're in the Bay, right? If you need a place to stay, you can rent a room in one of the apartments. The packet you were left with should have enough money for you to manage a month, but after that, you'll have to get a job.

[dives_through_rock]

... So this place kidnaps us and can't even cover the food and shelter for free? Even Jail wasn't that mean...

[celestial_wizard]

We don't know what is responsible for bringing us here. Having to work and buy your own food is really not that big of a deal - and the people here have livelihoods as well. It'd be unreasonable to expect the natives here to give out free food to everyone that winds up getting pulled here.

[dives_through_rock]

I guess. I just... Well, I've worked for the Saint Church for the last several years, and... Uh, someone else before that, so I'm... Less than used to having to live on my own...

[celestial_wizard]

It's not as scary as it seems. If you have any friends here, you could see if they were interested in rooming with you.

[dives_through_rock]

I sure hope so. The Saint Church was good to me, so it's going to be a bit of a shock... I'll probably forget a few things over time.

bringing action here because otherwise she'd try to talk first...|;

[starlight_breaker]

[ Do you have any idea how fast Nanoha recognizes you, Sein? Maybe. Maybe not. That's not the important part here. More importantly she should recognize the part of her not being from the same time as she knows her but she doesn't. Call it worst luck maybe.

Well, they seem to bring just about anyone here. Normally she'd ask questions, say something first. In the case of some people like the Numbers? She's not going to even try that. Anyone can call it an overprotective mode or whatever.

So. Here's more unexpected things to this day for her. There's Nanoha somewhere near Sein with a serious look on her face, holding Raising Heart and that sure is her magical girl uniform, that she's wearing.]

My firing lock is cancelled.

Let's try to do this with minimal damage to her surroundings. [Meaning Sein is about to get the most of it and yes, the location is her only reason for holding back. Maybe it is Sein's lucky day?]

Alright. Load cartridge.

Re: bringing action here because otherwise she'd try to talk first...|;

[dives_through_rock]

[Those were two words Sein never, ever wanted to hear aimed in her direction, to say the least. Least of all from Takamachi Nanoha, The Ace Of Aces, the White Devil, the leader of Riot Force 6, the OHMYGODWHYISSHEAIMINGATPOORSEIN?!?!??! She'd reformed, and Nanoha had forgiven her for that incident at the hot springs, she thought! The possibility that Nanoha came from a different timeframe was not something Sein had considered. She'd be a bit more understanding if she knew what Nanoha was thinking right now, given what Sein had done before, but of course, she doesn't, so...] Uh. Hi. Why are you... [Sein kind of raises a hand - one not in the bodysuit of the Numbers, but actually bare, per the norm for Saint Church sisters... It's too late to run, so time to try and... Something, before-]

[starlight_breaker]

[Let the device load her cartridge before she aims her at Sein. She notices the hand, but it... could be just a trick to get somewhere. Sorry, Nanoha is really not thinking much right now.]

Why do you need to ask? [It should be obvious? And that's -- all she's going to listen.]

Buster set. [... This... looks like it might hurt? Maybe if you can count all those circles here while Raising Heart is loading the attack.]

Divine Buster! [SHOOTING THAT PINK BEAM!]

[Welcome to Genessia, Sein, it's actually mostly safe! Except when it's not... And Nanoha would have used something worse if this happened in a different place, really!]

[dives_through_rock]

Well, because I- [And then the circles pop up.] I'm not- [Boom. And what a boom it is, as concentrated on Sein as it is, launching her directly at the walls of the cave around her with enough force to slam her into it and knock her unconscious almost immediately. Oh, mighty Number, how you have fallen. In this case, literally, as she bounces off the wall and falls into the water. Nanoha, it might be nice to roll her over so she doesn't drown...]

[starlight_breaker]

[She just watches that buster and Sein go. And that, ladied and gentlemen, is why she doesn't use anything stronger on this area.

Nanoha flies after her though, knowing there is water. She's still not going to let anyone drown or die on her attacks, thank you very much.

So yeah, she rolls her over and ...waits for her to wake up.]

Don't worry.

I'm not worried about her.

I wasn't talking about her.

[ ... Well then Nanoha can't really say that she isn't worried at all.]

[dives_through_rock]

... Ow... [Sein... Slowly stirs. But looks really, really pained. And afraid.] ... Ow... But...

[ Here Sein, have a very confused Vivio on the screen right now. Because wow, you sure had much better timing than she did. ]

Sein? When did you get here?

Some Time Later, Text

[dives_through_rock]

plz hlp explain to nanoha that jial's in jail [So much shorthand, it's almost hard to read...]

[thesacredheart]

[ ... Oh crap. ]

Sein!? Where are you two right now?

[ This would probably be better to explain to Nanoha-mama in person, wouldn't it? ]

Hello, I'm Yui Kusanagi. It's nice to meet you.

[ She looks thoughtful for a moment, considering.. ]

What sort of church did you work for?

Re: video;

[dives_through_rock]

I'm a sister of the Saint Church, followers of the principles of the ancient Belkan Saint King. ... I don't exactly have the standard prosthelyzing memorized, though. Hopefully this bag has a couple of the basic books handy.

[graduations]

Ah, that's alright. I'm not really interested in converting, I'm actually from a family who owns a shrine.. and I work at the shrine here. But um, in the past year or so I've come to learn that most religions are all correct anyway. There are all sorts of gods out there.. There are a couple actually here, too, like Loki-san and Anubis-san. The Japanese god of the ocean and the Greek god of fertility were here for a while too.. [ And Izanami, too, but she won't mention her since she doesn't think Izanami wants a lot of inquiries about that. ] I'd love to hear about the Belkan Saint King, too, if you want to tell me about him.

Re: video;

[dives_through_rock]

I can see that to some extent. The Saint Church isn't precisely traditionally theistic, anyways, what with our deific figure being someone who lived and has known history, rather than a deific force 'behind' them or such. ... Though, actual gods here is... Different...

video;

[graduations]

Plenty of the gods have interacted with history.. [ Most people haven't gone and spent nearly a year with them and learned about them that way, Yui. ] Ah, but I think I understand what you mean.

They're nice once you get to know them. I knew them before I arrived here, so I can confirm that they actually are them..

[itsudemoissho]

Well, there's an inn at Genessia that gives discount for people who have just arrived. You should look for it, if you have nothing else offered yet.

Re: video

[dives_through_rock]

Yeah, that'll be a start at least. Beyond that could get trickier, though...

video

[itsudemoissho]

As far as I see it, there are people who'd be willing to help you get to the start.

Re: video

[dives_through_rock]

True. Just.... It's really unknown to me. I've literally never led an independent lifestyle ever, so...
