genessia | 001 - A new challenger appears; video/action

Video; Genessia City, close to the Bay

[The video starts with a blonde teenage girl close to the screen. In the beginning, only her face is present, but she pulls it back once she realizes it's working. It was surprisingly easy, even if it looks nothing like her own phone.]

Do you really think you can kidnap someone like me?! Papa is going to be looking, and when he finds me, anybody who helped is going to punished!

[She tries to make herself commanding, strong, but her voice wavers and moisture collects at the corner of her eyes. Sena's afraid, horribly so, and she's not really sure what to do. Who had taken her? Some pervert? Someone after money? Did they think what little they had given her would keep her quiet?! No, she was Kashiwazaki Sena, and she was going to...

...do something.]

I might be generous, but even someone like me has limits. If you help me get home now, I'll make sure the punishment isn't as bad.

[The video ends just as the haughty words do, the last syllable punctuated by what sounds like a real sob.]

Action; Genessia City

[Those who see Sena early on sees the weakest, most vulnerable part as she works to deal with being away from everything she knows. Despite her reputation in school, she's never had any real responsibility, any need for independence. It was almost time for her to go to University, it would have happened anyway, but not like this, not without resources or any familiar faces.

She's not prepared. It's hard to move very far from the Bay, to enter the new city all alone. For the first few hours, that's where she waits, sitting, holding the device to her chest as she hopes for help.If she moved, she worried she would be impossible to find in such a larger city.

As the day progresses so does her thinking. Instead of broken, she becomes a bit proactive. Maybe, with so many people around her, someone will rescue her if she just asks. So, Sena will approach, she'll do her best to keep her pride, but ultimately she wants some form of direction.

When that plan fails, when she's still in Genessia come nightfall, the walking is more directionless. Despite it only being a day, and not yet a full one, desperation has set in. Despite what the pamphlet said, Sena doesn't want to live in the city, she doesn't want to be part of this place. She has her own home, family, school, fr-- a club.]

[when she decided to bring up money ludger suddenly felt even worse. he would escort someone back to their place for money, he wasn't above those sorts of jobs, but he knew he wouldn't be able to help her at all in this case.

ludger only shook his head.]

That's not the issue.... you just can't go back. None of us can. I've been here for three months already. [he sighed a little.] ...My home is called Elympios, it's probably really different from the place you know.

[Her head shakes, slowly, but not in thought. She knows she's never heard of the place.] It doesn't sound like a real place, like it's some kind of place in a game or something. [Which is something she would say about any name she doesn't recognize, if only because unfamiliarity makes it fantastical, and fantastical ties in with the things she plays.]

I'm from Tooya, Japan. Papa's there, my school's there. [No friends.] How am I really supposed to just stay here? This isn't enough money for three months...

[she does seem to be extremely troubled. when he arrived he also came with his friends... even though they didn't remember him at all. this girl was all alone, and he felt sorry for her.]

No, it's not enough money. We're expected to get jobs and move in somewhere in order to sustain ourselves.

It's hard to accept being in another world- but it's real, all of this is.

[Her shoulders rise and fall, as does her chest as she all but audible 'humphs'.]

It really is weird. Why kidnap a cute girl and just make her work? I'm not even out of school. They really are an idiot... [But there's a real problem there. What is a high school student supposed to do?] It's a good thing I'm so smart.

...Even if it I'm not going to believe this is a different world. That's too weird.

[ludger just laughs nervously. cute girl? she really knows how to compliment herself-... oh well. confidence is good.]

What sorts of things can you do? You said you're smart so you must have a lot of skills.

Hmm... I know it's hard, but it's true. I only accepted this place because I was already dealing with separate dimensions because in my world.

[Her cuteness wasn't ego. It would have to be just an opinion to be ego, and her good looks were a fact. Sena herself would tell him so.]

Huh? I mean everything. I was in high school, but I was always the top of my class in all the subjects. I'm really good in sports too.

[ludger started listing off skills, counting them on his hand as he went.]

Can you cook? Clean? Mend armor and weapons? How about serving?

No, Stella does all of those things. I'm really good at a maid cafe. [Cooking and cleaning? How rude, she's rich.

Was rich.] But I learn how to do everything really fast.

Maybe I can teach you some things, to help you out a little if you need it.

[just so she isn't totally useless :'D]
