[Eighth] - I'm Alive, I'm Alive

[Kallen is hanging out circa the mailbox of 722 Bunker. She's scrutinizing her new regain, holding the top of her Ashford Academy uniform out in front of her.]

This sucks. At least I could have gotten my Black Knight uniform back, but what am I supposed to do with this? It's not like I'm ever going to wear it.

Dammit, if I could just get the

[fuelefficient]

...that is a nice uniform.

[No, don't mind him.]

[radiant_will]

[Glances over.]

Really? Why's that?

[fuelefficient]

It, ah...just is.

[radiant_will]

If you say so.

[She drops the top back down by the other pieces of the uniform.]

Hey, though, um… I'm glad you didn't end up trapped in Westport with us. Things weren't too hectic on your end, were they?

[sacred_thunder]

Guren?

[radiant_will]

It's the mech I used to pilot before I got here.

[sacred_thunder]

I'm sorry, but what is a "mech?"

[radiant_will]

Let's see… how can I explain it?

It's a powerful machine built in a humanoid shape that someone operates from the inside. The ones in my world are called Knightmare Frames and are about five meters tall. Every army that's large and modernized uses them.

Here, have a character unintentionally based on Suzaku!

... Black Knight?

How unexpectedly delightful!

[radiant_will]

That's… uh.

Well, the Order of the Black Knights is the name of the fighting force I was a member of back home.

Re: How unexpectedly delightful!

[fail_dragon]

... I see.

What sort of force, might I ask?

[radiant_will]

That's… pretty complicated. We started out as a small group of freedom fighters, and ended up as the entire military strength of the United Federation of Nations.

[passes_out]

Kallen, you were there too? I...had no idea.

[Even though he didn't stay for Westport, he did go there before the road closed and left with samples that showed nothing really of any importance.]

[radiant_will]

Yeah, I was.

I'm not going to say it wasn't hard, but I lived through it. That's all, really.

[passes_out]

Well, it is good to hear from you again. I'm sorry that circumstances were so poor.

[radiant_will]

Same here. It must have been hard for you guys, too, not really knowing what was going on.

[hourai_branch]

You're a knight?

[radiant_will]

Sure. Our leader called us knights for justice.

[hourai_branch]

And do you fight monsters?

[radiant_will]

No, more like an evil empire.
