... its on.

Wh-huh? Oh! U-um... I-I have no idea what to say...

I already told you. Introduce yourself.

... are you sure this isn't just some odd dream? Maybe I hit my head back there.

Positive! *inaudible grumbling*

U... um... I'm... Haku... Yowane. Haku Yowane. H-hello. I'm... new... here I guess? Uh. I was kind of hoping maybe... some one's seen my siblings? I was with Neru, my sister... a-and my little brother and sister wandered off to explore the coast-

You're not near a coast anymore, in case you failed to notice.

*silence*

... Haku?

... I need a drink...

....

If you ever feel like doing that, you can contact me, okay?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

O-okay. Thank you. Erm. Sorry... its so strange, people already knowing my name when they talk to me... what's your name?

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

Well, you did say your name.

I'm Selene.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

I know. Its just odd. There's.. still a lot to get used to. But its nice to meet you, Selene.

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll manage.

It's nice to meet you too.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

I'm better now than I was, since Sabine found me. She's been taking really good care of me so far. I'm just... really confused and still kind of worried and scared a bit is all.

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

It's understandable. It's scary going to another world, but there are a lot of good people here.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Yes. I've found that out. Its comforting if nothing else. Though... the whole 'war' thing...

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

Well, sometimes it's almost like there isn't a war.

Then a big reminder slaps you in the face...

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Ehh... that doesn't sound too pleasant. I just got here. Anything I should know that might help me be little more... prepared for all this?

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

Hm, a way to be more prepared. Well, I was honestly used to it since random supervillains invade my city at different times.

Maybe if you learned more about the attacks? Exposure sort of thing?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

A-attacks? ... maybe. Should I just... ask around?

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

Probably. I've never been in an attack personally. I got lucky.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is lucky. I can only hope I'll have the same luck.

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

Well, you have your partner at least. He'll help protect you.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Erm... he hasn't been particularly helpful so far. Would he really protect me?

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

Well, he should be able to evolve.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

... I don't know what that is. I-I told you... he's not been very helpful.

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

It doesn't usually happen unless there's danger. Evolution helps us gain more strength to protect our tamers.

We help our partner evolve and they help protect us.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

O-oh.

*long pause, some unheard muttering between the two of them.*

... I don't think he likes me very much. That... probably isn't going to help me in the long run, is it?

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

Why doesn't he like you?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

*sighs* Well aside from calling me 'useless' and 'dumb' on more than one occasion, I get the feeling he was expecting some one... stronger than me.

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

Well, if he likes strength, then he should still help you. It's the tamer that helps the partner get stronger and it's emotionally based from what we figured out.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

All she wants to do is get drunk all the time! This is probably the most sober she's been in her entire existence! And she's completely clueless. What am I supposed to do with that?

Th-that's not true! You just assumed that because I was upset! A-and like you have room to talk! You haven't helped me at all. I had to tie you up with medical tape because you wouldn't stop saying mean things while I was trying to talk to Osamu-kun. And you were asleep when I tripped over you!

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

Well, she was taken to another world by some means most people aren't used to, so the cluelessness is almost EXPECTED.

Though you really shouldn't get drunk all the time, Miss Haku.
