[ Katina opens up a video feed in front of her finished mech, little more than a statue right now, but at least a pretty one, and one that COULD be made functional if she figures out how. ]

Hey! I know there are guns here, and that some of them even work, but I know I can't rely on just that. I'd just beat the shit out of anything I couldn't shoot, but joint locks aren't gonna work too well on a snake person, so I need a little help. I heard that there's a 'Sephiroth' here who could teach me how to use a sword, but if anyone wants to teach me how to use a spear or an axe or a fuckin' monk's spade, I'm up for it.

[ She huffs and crosses her arms. ]

And what was up with everyone for a while there? I was working like a woman possessed, and Subaru, I know you're not that much of a flirt. Is this kinda BS normal here?

Yeah, it wasn't really fun, but that only happened once.

... Actually, I think it was the first weird thing that happened to us.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Glad I missed that one then.

What else has happened?

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

Well, there was the time that we were trapped with a few other people in a house because of a blizzard that also had monsters going around attacking people who went outside.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Monsters, monsters, monsters. At least it sounds like I'm gonna get more chances to fight.

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

Yeah. You would think that a place like this would be more peaceful than it is.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

I guess the Queen's a real screw-up then.

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

... Pretty much, yeah.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

And we have to clean up her mess. What do we do about severe injuries here? Has anyone been killed yet?

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

... The healer takes care of that. Both of it.

People come back after they die here though... It's still scary to hear about and see though.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

Just... takes care of it? No big deal?

[ ...if that's true...

Katina looks thoughtful. ]

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

Well, as no big deal as dying and waking up again can be, anyway.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

But if you don't stay dead... I mean... shit.

[ So what, she can be even more reckless now? ]

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

Then what?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

I can just... go crazy when I fight, and if I get offed... I come back and get to fight again!

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

... I guess.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

It's not like I'm gonna try to get killed, but... damn! I don't need to have anyone watch my back!

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

... You probably should anyway. I mean, it looked like death didn't really matter all that much, but I haven't seen it happen enough to know for sure.

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

...

[ Well, damn. People are gonna worry about her anyways. ]

Alright, I promise I won't get into any major fights without help.

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

[Well, that makes her feel a little bit better.]

That's good. Be careful, okay?

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

[ Being careful is asking Katina a little too much. ]

I'll try. What I can't promise is that I won't get myself banged up, but it's nothing to worry about.

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

Yeah, I guess. I mean, who knows what it's going to be next time monsters show up...

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

They could be pretty terrible. I'll have to make sure I'm ready.

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm going to do the same...

[grandtheftmecha.livejournal.com]

And if we're all ready, everything should work out pretty well, right?

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

Yeah, definitely!
