Hime, it's Nel. I'm just checking to see how you've been adjusting to Luceti. Did the experiment cause you any problems?

[Public]This might be kind of an odd question, but if anyone cares to answer I'd like to hear it

In my world, the government is really mean. They let the nobles get away with anything they want.

[Her voice gets quieter, weaker:] ...Even kidnapping and murder.

[There's a long pause, followed by the sound of choking.]

W-what could be worse than that!?

[Voice]

[former_third]

I think that's one of those questions that's better left unanswered.

[She nods quietly, she probably wouldn't understand it anyway.]

W-well...I'm sure he's a nice guy to his people, right?

[Voice]

[former_third]

As long as they obey his rules and keep things orderly, yes. He can be very kind.

[It's usually manipulation, but Nel doesn't know/can't accept that.]

[Voice]

[sea_king_bait]

I guess that's understandable.

[Blink.] Oh. I'm Keimi, by the way.

[former_third]

I'm Neliel tu Oderschvank.

But... Just call me Nel.

That's a really pretty name! [Even though she'll probably never be able to pronounce it.]

Have you been here long?

[Voice]

[former_third]

I'm glad you like it. Yours is lovely too. [There's a reason she has the nickname.]

Over two years by now, I believe. How about you?

[Voice]

[sea_king_bait]

[She's gotten over the shock of people being here so long, by now she's just accepted it as fact that she'll be here for a while.]

About two months. I'm still kind of new, but at least I'm getting used to it now.

Well at least you've been through a shift by now. I always worry how people who haven't yet will react.
