001 ✩ ( audio )

[ The red-head has an extremely displeased expression on her face, but too bad you can't see it. Audio will suffice for everyone. No use getting more familiar than need be, after all. An audible irked tone will be heard by anyone who cares to listen to her. ]

While I'm certain this isn't Kamigusk, or anywhere near the academy, I'm lost as to where exactly I am. I apologize for this ignorance, and can assure you I'll get my bearings once acclimated to the area. A map would be nice, if one can be supplied to me. I refuse to trust any objects in this backpack until it's proven not to be cursed or rigged. Not to mention I have no mother, so this farce that is going on is ludicrous.

This creature that I've been given is also an unexpected burden and I'd much like to get rid of it somewhere. If you'd like to take good care of a floating cat-like animal, please reply with your request, though I refuse to give it to anyone unqualified.

[Kamigusk? But that would mean...

...huh.]

You wouldn't happen to mean the capital, would you?

[ That voice is familiar to her but not so familiar that she'd immediately recollect it. It is strange, though, that he's familiar with her countries capital. ]

Yes. Where I come from, anyway, and I'm assuming where you come from as well.

Indeed I am! To imagine... I was quite sure that no one from my world would end up here as well.

At any rate, the backpack is perfectly safe. If you plan to leave that town, you will need both the items supplied in the bag and the creature that is with you.

So you've been here for some time then. Have you returned home at all?

Thank you; I might go through it's contents in a more secure setting, just to be safe. There's quite a lot of people gathered here. The creature on the other hand. [ Her misdreavus makes an audible noise at the mention of it. ] is another matter entirely.

A few months shy of a year, yes. And I have not been home since, although from what I hear that is not much of an issue.

If that is what you feel would be safest, feel free to do so. It would be good to take an inventory, at the very least. If I am remembering correctly, it is just enough to make the three day journey to the next town. And as for the creature... Well, you will probably find other, aggressive kinds on the road, so I would not be so quick to leave it behind.

[ Traveling isn't a big issue to her. The home thing, though? That is. There's a moderate period of silence as she contemplates the situation before finally speaking again. ]

It is an issue for me.

Oh? And why might that be?

I have a job to do. What kind of assistant abandons her position without notice?

I can understand that. I was on something of a job myself when I wound up here... However, from what I can tell, time is completely stopped in our worlds while we are here. Or at the very least, should anyone return, it is to the exact moment they left at.

Oh? And what proof do you have to back up those words?

[ It comes out a bit brasher than intended. ]

The words of more people who have experienced it than I could count.

[ Consider her still a might skeptical. ]

It's troublesome either way.

A bit, yes. But at the very least, you can rest assured that you will not miss anything while you are gone.

[ 'That's not necessarily true.' is all she can think. ]

It would still be beneficial for me to get home as soon as possible.

Your job must be very important to you.

It is. It's important to others as well.

...I see. Whoever you work for must be lucky to have such a dedicated person with them.

...I do as I'm instructed. There's not too much to compliment me for as I'm just following orders.

And yet there are many who wouldn't, were they in the same position.

I'm not one to break promises that I make.

Promise...?

[ Crap. His familiarity caught her off guard. ]

I apologize. for misspeaking. It's none of your concern.

In that case, I won't pry.

[After all, it would be pretty rude, and obviously it's something quite personal. So instead:]

I don't believe I ever introduced myself. My name is Asuma. It is nice to meet you, miss...?

[ Another long silence graces the network. ]

...You're...Asuma?

[That was... quite the pause indeed. Was this someone he had met, only to forget? There were such an awful lot of people one ran into when traveling...]

That is me, yes.
