That which cuts

1. [The previous mission had ended relatively well. And so, one may find Seta actively using her phone without minding her surroundings...even as she walks or eats. It seems like she's gotten a lesson on how to finally use the device from someone, for better or worse.

If a person actually manages to peek at the screen though (it's not hard at all), they'll see many out-of-focus pictures of what looks like white scales. There are more blurred images like these, including one that seems to depict a wolf-like creature tackling a serpent-thing, and a random shot of many long, black limbs...and a wine glass.

Whoever took these obviously didn't wait for the auto-focus to kick in and snapped them straight away, making it difficult to tell exactly what they are...even so...]

So, this is what it does...

On top of making calls, as well...what else is it capable of...?

...Aah...this technology...is incredible...!

2. [On a more serious note: like in Alhambra a while ago, Seta now stands facing a group of dummies out on an empty square that is located somewhere in the uninhabited parts of Sakihama City.

This time, attached to the left side of her waist by red ribbons, are a pair of curved swords. Together, a set like this is known as a daisho, and in this case, said set is comprised of a long katana and a shorter wakizashi.]

...

[The strange part of this is that she's been doing nothing but staring at the dummies. Her right hand rests on the longer blade's handle - there's a firm grip, but she never draws it.

Minutes and hours go by...and still, nothing happens...until she lowers her head in defeat.]



...I do not understand...I was able to draw it before. What made it so different back then...?

You'll figure it out now that you know all it can do. It's basically a handheld computer that makes calls without specialized software.

[There's another, longer pause. How is something like that even possible?]

I'm sorry. I'm just used to people having phones from when they were kids.

You aren't either? Most of the people I've met here haven't been human...

But I shouldn't really be shocked after what happened yesterday.

You were there as well? Or is that us as in Unity Group as a whole?

And, yeah, after that you get a bit more accepting of things outside the norm. I've got enough to think about as it is.

Oh, so that was you...Thank you for dealing with those rock things. Not sure the woman with all the swords could have survived on her own and if they hadn't been dealt with, who knows how much damage they would have done while people focused on Asag.

Yes, that battle could have gone horribly wrong...

And, right, my name is Alexandra de Witt.

I will for a few days, but I'm not sure about after that. It's one of the things I've been thinking about. It's not a situation I ever expected to be in, so I never really prepared for it.

Thanks. Why did you ask?

[personal profile] itbelongsinamuseum 2014-09-03 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I would imagine they didn't.

And nobody has tried to pressure me into anything so far, but thanks for thinking about it. I'll figure out what to do and tell everyone when I'm ready.

And no matter what I choose, I hope you guys will stay safe despite the dangers. So if I return home, I'll be cheering you on, I guess.
