[The feed opens to a purple-haired girl obviously observing the area. She doesn't seem have have noticed that her communicator has turned on quite yet.]

Great, this has to be the worst timing..

[Glancing at her communicator, Yuri manages to keep a calm and collected expression.]

I don't recognize any names on the list, so that doesn't help. [soft, almost silent groan] Where the hell am I..?

Not kidnapped, per sa. The time when I died before; I was brought to a after-life world. It has similar traits to this place.

[Video]

[golden_witch]

Is that something like the concept of heaven or hell, then~?

It would be bizarre to know that those places are so similar to the ones we inhabit, now.

[Video]

[battlefrontleader]

It wasn't either; it was a purgatorial world inwhich you made peace with the terrible life you lived.

[Video]

[golden_witch]

What could a girl so young have done so awful to merit being sent to such a place?

[Video]

[battlefrontleader]

No, it was God's stupid way for making up how horrible our lives were.

[Video]

[golden_witch]

Seems a bit half-assed to me.

So, now you're stuck here. My apologies. Perhaps things will be a bit better for you once you're settled in.

[battlefrontleader]

Tch; That's God for you. [Can't you tell her very low opinion of him.]

I'm sure things will be, it'd just take some time.

[It's okay. It's not like a witch would have a high opinion of him, either so she'll just nod.]

Precisely. And it isn't like this place is terrible, either. In a lot of ways it's more like a home than the place I lived.

[Video]

[battlefrontleader]

Hrm? This place is?

[Video]

[golden_witch]

Mhm. Which sounds funny, but it's a matter of moving from one island to the next.

It's bothersome since I had plans there, but it's something I grow more accustomed to daily.

[Video]

[battlefrontleader]

I see; so you like being here?

[Video]

[golden_witch]

Well...I wouldn't say I like it. I simply don't hate it.

The people I've met here ease my boredom relatively well, so I won't complain.

[Video]

[battlefrontleader]

That makes sense.

I assume that would the people here aren't that bad?

[Video]

[golden_witch]

Truly they aren't. They are productive and make use of their short time. There are parties, gatherings, and love affairs that manifest before your eyes.

It's like a well managed storybook.

[Video]

[battlefrontleader]

Love affairs? This is sounding more like a sitcom than a kidnapping.

[Video]

[golden_witch]

That would be an entirely accurate description.

The kidnapped tend to band together. And in doing so, grow a close camaraderie. Certainly being in love is something that can happen in close quarters.

[Video]

[battlefrontleader]

[Wow, what kind of place is this exactly.]

Are you just watching from the sidelines or involved yourself?

[Video]

[golden_witch]

[How best to tackle this...]

It's hard to say, really.

There are people I detest and people I like...and people I like to detest.

[Video]

[battlefrontleader]

Oh, I think I get it.

[A beat.]

I never introduced myself; Nakamura Trying. Also known as Yurippe.

[Video]

[golden_witch]

Do you have a similar situation where you're from~?

Oh, that's right. My name is Beatrice. It's a pleasure to meet you, Yurippe.~ ♥
