Enter Astara

[Very shortly after the previous battle there seems to be another silver-haired girl wandering around Alhambra Base. In her hand is a small map with what seems to be directions to the base. The expression on her face seems to indicate that she's annoyed with something.]

First those darned guards wouldn't let me in, and now I can't even find her anywhere!

...Maybe I should have told her I was coming first.

[A bit later the same girl can be found in front of a vending machine with her fist shaking in anger. One of the bottles seems to have gotten jammed. ]

Why you...

[She seems to resign in defeat for a moment before glancing around carefully. Once she assumes that no one else is around she lifts the large machine over her head like it was a toy and starts shaking the machine wildly. Eventually the bottle of tea finally emerges from the machine and she sets the machine back down calmly.]

Haha victory is mine!



[3] [Locked to ???]

[A long day of wandering later, the girl has collapsed outside Alhambra in failure.]

Wheeerrrrrreeee are yooooouuuuuuuuuuuu!?

[She sounds utterly defeated.]

Hmm... I just thought it was normal. I mean the dragon did seem to recognize something when Seta took her craft form and all that was going on. After she was eaten, turned into a mouthed tentacle and ate a bunch of BETA before turning "human" again I just kinda stopped questioning things.

That's actually happened a lot recently now that I think about it.

What normally happens to a fallen Kijin when you guys are done with it?

[embracetheflame]

Nothing, they should just die normally and their souls should linger for a few days before they're scattered to the winds.

Something like that happening...that's new to me also.

[ugyuuya]

Well given the general craziness and everything else maybe I just made certain assumptions that may or may not be accurate. It seemed that General Hetepheres was convinced of that though and I typically trust her judgement as sound.

Anyways that's pretty much what I know of this and while I get along well with Seta we're not entirely open about everything since pasts are a private issue best left buried if it's not immediately pertinent to a situation.

[embracetheflame]

I see, well...thanks anyways for telling me about this.

[She offers a hand.]

Astara Kellin.

[ugyuuya]

[Taking the hand firmly]

Yuuya Bridges. Now did you need any further assistance or are you going back to your own special brand of stealth there shadow?

[Looks like someone may have caught a nickname.]

[embracetheflame]

Nah I'll be fine, I mean it can't be that hard to find Seta.
