[Sometime in the morning, there will be a blonde making a video call. It takes her a first try--this is far ahead of her own technology, but she's into computers, so it's not too difficult, really. More intriguing than anything else.]

I suppose before I go on, it would be wise to at least offer an introduction of myself, wouldn't it? After all, one would think it would be best to get to know the people that will be surrounding you for as long as you might stay here.

My name is Fuu Hououji. I'm fifteen years old, a Sagittarius, blood type A. I'm not entirely sure how injuries work here, but if I am ever in need of a blood transfusion, and unable to communicate this properly, it would be imperative that someone knew. I normally reside in Tokyo, Japan, though I suppose that has changed, now.

[Fuu pauses to think. There's plenty of other things she could say. But she won't say any of them.]

I appreciate the warm welcome to the city, and I'm sure it will be a pleasure to meet all of you. However, I would appreciate an explanation of the exact details of what is going on, and if possible, why I have been summoned. I hope that, at least, would not be too much trouble.

Unfortunately I can not completely live up to your expectations, fair lady. I have only been here for a little while so far.

I have quite some experience from combat back home all the same, though.

Even a few days is better than being here a few hours. And combat experience can be useful in many situations.

You can call me by my name, if you'd like.

If you insist.. Fuu, then.

And I am glad and grateful for your confidence in my qualities. I will do my best to not disappoint you in the future, in that case.

Please don't be concerned about that.

It is only natural for a warrior to make sure people know they can rely on them, is it not?

Certainly, but I doubt I will be disappointed in any way.

[Everyone is making it hard for her to be polite ._.]

I will trust your instincts then.

[ he almost smiles. almost. since this guy is nice, but too pokerfaced to actually be called 'friendly'.. ]

[Everyone is friendly in Fuu's eyes! 8D]

Along with combat, is there anything else expected of us, do you mind if I ask?

Not at all. Although you may want to get a job if you want to earn some income.

Is that all right with education, as well?

I do not know the full details of the way education works in this place, so I think you might have to ask someone more familiar with it.

That's unfortunate. I hope my studies don't have to suffer.

I am sure you will do fine as long as you will keep studying well enough.

I suppose. It would just be difficult to do so without a proper teacher or curriculum.

[ he bows his head a little. ]

I do not doubt you will do fine all the same. After all, it is not hard to acquire books in this place either.

Oh, books are fine, but there's so much to learn from other people--it's really impossible to properly learn without them both.

Yes, I suppose I see your point.. There is no use in merely learning from theory, is there? Practice is required as well, you are right.

It's that way with everything, isn't it, Archer-san?

It is. I learned combat through practice rather than theory as well, and I can not say that impacted my fighting capabilities negatively in any way.

Well, once someone puts a weapon in your hands, books and things aren't of much help. I could read all I wanted about broadswords, I couldn't use one until you put it in my hands.

I have experienced some people do excel in learning from just what is told to them. After all, as long as you have read up enough on how to use a sword, you might feel more confident once you actually hold one in your own hands.

That is true, though I do find a great deal changes when you can feel the weight [oooor lack thereof] in your hands.
