... 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...

... *Sighs.*

Do you know where you are?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Mm? Oh... I'm at DATS now whatever the heck that is... I still don't know.... Sabine was kind enough to come get me while I was still... um... having issues earlier. I-I think I'm okay now... but thank you for your concern.

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

Oh? Well, that's good then! I was worried you might be wandering around in that state.

... *laughs a bit, sounding embarassed*

She curled up on the sidewalk and refused to move is what she did. Full on nervous break down, this one.

... I will get the tape again if you don't stop saying bad things about me.

*gulp* Please don't. That hurt last time.

[luminarydream.livejournal.com]

....

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?
