Is that what us new arrivals are called? New Feathers?

I like that, it's cute. ♥

That's correct. I'm afraid I don't recall who coined the term; it's been around for a long time now.

Any theories on why we were chosen to be kidnapped to this place? Could it be our beauty? Our cleverness? Our strength? ...Our beauty?

[Oh Nuriko. You and your beauty.] As far as I can tell, it seems random. We have had helpless children brought here, as well as others who are not around for long at all before they disappear again.

I'm sure there have been a fair share of beautiful people in Luceti, though.

...Ah. Thank you for your kind words, milady. [It's a traaaap. A traaaap.] I'm afraid we haven't been properly introduced yet. I am Albert Silverberg.

[Look out!]

Chou Korin. But I go by Nuriko, my Shichiseishi name. ♥

Shichiseishi? I'm afraid the term is unfamiliar one.

In my world, there are four gods that can each be summoned by a special priestess who will appear at some point in history for each country.

When the priestess appears, she's supposed to gather the seven Celestial Warriors--Shichiseishi, whose job it is to protect her and help her summon the god.

So believe it or not, I'm a warrior~. ♥

I see. Celestial warriors... [This is sounding familiar, and not simply because there are other seishi currently in Luceti.] I believe I may have interacted with a 'Shichiseishi,' quite sometime ago. There would be 24 warriors in all?

Four countries with seven warriors each -- that makes 28.

Do you remember who you met? Maybe Uruki?

[And this is why mun FAILS AT MATH.] I see.

Chichiri, I believe his name was. We didn't speak much, I'm afraid.

[STRATEGY =/= MATH]

Chichiri, hm...? I don't know him... We haven't met many of the Suzaku warriors yet, though. Our priestess got sick and we had to send her home to recuperate! That girl is a lot of work to take care of.

What did you do, back on your world?

It sounds like a fair amount of guardians for a single priestess.

I am a war strategist by family trade, though I'm afraid such skills haven't seen much use in Luceti.

Well, each priestess only has seven to herself... You'd be surprised, how hard it is to keep the Priestess of Suzaku alive, though! Three protectors so far and no dedicated enemies, and we nearly lost her at least three times!

...That makes it sound like we aren't very good at what we do, doesn't it?

O-ho, a strategist? That sounds like something Konan could use... Maybe I could get your professional opinion sometime? Our neighbors have been less than welcoming to our last couple of ambassadors...

I suppose it matters how difficult the priestess herself is to protect, too. There are some out there who have an uncanny ability to attract bad situations.

...It sounds like there's a learning curve, at the very least.

The natural question would concern the intentions of your ambassadors, and your kingdom, for that matter.
