genessia | [Video]

[It had been a couple days since the whole Koishi incident, and Ragyo was once again before Genessia looking rather unamused.]

I feel it is prudent to offer an apology of sorts to the citizens of both Nova and Genessia cities. The recent attacks are partially my fault, I'm afraid. The garment the girl - Koishi I believe - was wearing was made from a material native to my world. In moderation, they can grant strength and durability to humans. Most people can only withstand a garment with up to 30% of the make up being that material. Unfortunately, some of that material was stolen from me during a business trip in Nova City, where it was experimented on and forced onto the girl.

I want to state beyond a shadow of a doubt that Koishi was not acting under her own volition. The garment had complete control of her, and she should not be held responsible for her actions during that time.

[Private to David, Weiss, and Satsuki.]

I have apprehended the culprit that stole the material and caused the attacks, along with evidence linking him to the theft beyond a shadow of a doubt. I would like to meet with you to discuss exactly what happened, at the earliest convenience.

[Rats, so Ragyo doesn't know yet. Satsuki will have to remain patient for now.]

I see. Well then the only advice I can provide at this time is to avoid getting on Weiss Schnee's bad side. She has an impressive amount of influence on Genessia as a whole- arguably the most of all the Guardians.

[There's another pause as she crosses her arms.]

Mother I confess I am uncertain what you are suggesting but if I may; it has been my goal since my arrival to find a way to return home- Beings appear and disappear in the blink of an eye. There are little facts known about the specifics of this place and even fewer people that are capable of gathering intelligence. I agree that, scientifically, it is all fascinating but...

It is of my opinion that the world of Genessia is too volatile to pursue much aside from seeking a means of escape.

Interesting. How did she come to power?

[After all, she was expecting you to be holding the office, Satsuki.]

Humans were a volatile race when Life Fibers first came to Earth, and yet they chose us to bestow their greatness to. This is no different. After all, if we are to spread Life Fibers, wouldn't it be prudent to give those trapped here the joy of being worn by Life Fibers? Simpy denying them is a torture I cannot stomach.

A way to our world will open in time, Satsuki. And when we return, we will have an army clad in the embrace of Life Fibers to truly show the pigs of our world the futility in resisting their majesty.

She won the most votes of Genessia's denizens. Guardianship is an electoral position.

[There might be the faintest trace of jealousy in Satsuki's tone. As for the rest of Ragyo's words, Satsuki can't help but feel a chill up her spine.

It's been three years since she last felt it. And this time she's alone, unable to do anything until they return home.]

I.. Suppose you are correct. I may have been projecting my numerous frustrations during my time here; my apologies.

I am surprised you weren't running for the position. How long are these terms?

[Yeah she may or may not be thinking of running now.]

You are forgiven. I remember what it was like being your age. Patience isn't easy, but it is rewarding. One must simply step back and see the bigger picture.

[Of course Ragyo is so busy looking at her big picture she doesn't even realize Satsuki has been doing this all her life...]

Oh, one more thing. One of Nui's assistants is taking the fall for all this. He will be offering the guardian everything she needs for a full conviction. I will be capitulating to the guardian's 'charges' of illegal bounty hunting so whatever punishment that entails I will submit willingly. Do not try to sway her on my behalf. I want this to be tied up with as neat a bow as possible. Anything to keep her from digging too deep into the matter before it is time to move.

To make a long story short, it was not by choice. The terms are six months long.

[Satsuki is silent for a moment, as she takes in the rest of that information.]

I understand.

Though, if I may, I would like to request to avoid using my employees as test subjects.

[She kind of thought that went without saying.]

[Ragyo jots down a note off to the side before addressing Satsuki again.]

Yes, that was Nui's idea. I will pass along the request but you know how she can be. Half the time I don't know what she's doing until she's done it.

[Not that she particularly cares...]

Is that so. If that is the case I rescind my request; the last thing I need is for her to believe I go 'running to mother' when things get difficult. I will gladly tell her myself.

[It can't be seen but her hands tighten into fists.]

[Just have a shrug. It really didn't bother Ragyo either way.]

Very well, I will leave you girls to sort it out among yourselves.
