*The video turns on to a small, pale thirteen-year-old girl with lightless, dilated eyes. She stares at the screen for a few seconds with no expression whatsoever, until she finally decides to speak.*

...What.

*Apparently, that's enough.*

Hello. Why are you apologizing? My age has nothing to do with you.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Children should not be called to war.

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

I fought before. I can do it again. That's not the problem here.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Then tell me, what sort of wars did you fight in?

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

Not so much war. Well, I suppose it was. It was about worlds. I want to know who expects us to fight here and what we're supposed to be fighting. I won't listen to just anybody tell me what to do.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

You may wish to listen to me, for a start. I have been a soldier for over 200 years, and have survived up until now.

That being said, I won't do much beyond tactical coordination. As far as what we're supposed to be fighting, there are Shadows, strange creatures of sorcery.

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

A long time.

So, monsters somebody created?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Just so. The question is... who?

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

The person who brought us here, or an enemy of that person.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Very logical of you. Have you considered investigating this? Very few people here have tried.

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

I might, if it's important.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

It most certainly is. Knowledge is power.

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

Hm. Maybe.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Without knowledge, we cannot help this world.

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

So you've claimed that as your duty?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

I am Astartes, my entire existence is to protect humanity.

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

So you were created for that?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Is it?

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

I see. Are there any other questions I can assist you with?

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

I'll be fine.

*She's gonna be watching you, though. With the lineface.*

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Good luck to you then. You'll probably have a room at a hotel nearby... or in the student dorms, and likely be enrolled at the school. Consult with Ingrid, myself, or Klaus if you need help getting situated.

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

Tch. All right.

*Not that she's actually going to be going to school without a reason.*
