first truth | video

[endofdaydream]

[ The camera clicks on and a red-haired girl appears on the screen with a clear frown on her face. Her glare is piercing the camera. She's holding a gun in her hand, but it's more casually than actually threatening, as if even she doesn't particularly care that it is there. She just stares like that for a few moments before speaking up. ]Whose joke

[myhrta]

Miss? Please do not be alarmed. I am speaking to you through this small communicator.

[ Video ]

[endofdaydream]

[ ... Welp, that sounded a lot more nicer than any voice she would have expected to hear. She directs her attention even more to the device. ]

So there is someone out there. So, do you work for the Sumadera family?

[myhrta]

[Myhrta turns her own video function on, smiling gently at the camera. She may look a bit alarming to a human, but she speaks calmly and reassuringly.]

No. I am most likely not from any world touching yours.

My name is Myhrta Starshower, from Azeroth.

May I have your name?

[ For a moment she honestly looks taken aback, but she quickly forces it back into her regular expression. She has seen a lot in her world - witches, demons - but hearing something unusual speaking to her so calmly, as if nothing's happening..

Was this one of the witches' most recent whims? Giving her name couldn't hurt either way. ]

... Ange. I'm Ushiromiya Ange. Though I suppose I could introduce myself in two different ways.

[renovative]

Hey, chill out.

[ Video ]

[endofdaydream]

I think not getting killed might need priority over that.

[ Video ] 1/2

[renovative]

Yeah, I get that, but...

[ Video ] 2/3

[renovative]

Alright! I'll help ya out! Jus' like Senpai would! Hell yeah, you ready for this?!

[the_aurailia]

Woah woah, smile ey? [A strange accented voice comes through the complicator] You will no get anywhere with sour face like that si?

[ Video ]

[endofdaydream]

[ What is.. that accent, oh god. ]

Should I care?

[ Video ]

[the_aurailia]

Si, you should. [There is a slight huff] No one will fall in love with your smile if you never do it, ey?

[ Video ]

[endofdaydream]

[ There's the slightest moment that a blush flashes over her face before it goes away again, although the frown isn't quite the same. ]

Why would I even--

[mem_more_rakke]

Forgive me for interrupting your diatribe miss, however, you are in need of information and I take it upon myself to provide it. [The man on the video screen is tall dark and handsome, to say the least. There is a foreboding air about him even over video and he has a serious expression to boot.]

Firstly, welcome to Demeleier. That is the name of this place. Secondly, My name is Thanatos, and I am at your service.

[endofdaydream]

[ ... Huh. This man somehow reminds her of all the various magical persons and creatures she has met through Battler and Beatrice's game, if not just for that air he gives off. Somehow it seems much more likely to be a trick of Beatrice's. At least information is good and it manages to make her a bit less frowny. ]

Demeleier? That doesn't sound very Japanese. ... Don't tell me I got dragged off somewhere strange.

[ Video ]

[mem_more_rakke]

So your origin is Japan. I see, in that case I must inform you that you are a long way from home and have indeed been "dragged off" somewhere strange. I am aware this may come as a shock to you, however you must try to remain calm when I tell you this.

You have been spirited away to this place, just like the other residents here. You are trapped here.

[endofdaydream]

[ Her expression turns a bit contemplative and for a moment she's silent. ]

... Thanatos-san. Who is the person behind all of this?
