There's a teenage boy right outside the base, in army fatigues and with a heavy campers backpack. Oh, and obvious weaponry ( Read more... )

I'm not sure what you mean, but most of the people here are adults...

Good. That means that my hometown's brand of alien hasn't gotten here yet.

I'm willin' to soldier for food - or do scut work if I need to. This a military base?

Uh-huh! At least, I think it was. Now it's just our base. Some of us came from different armies, but we all got lost or somehow ended up here, and now we fight to protect this planet.

Suits me fine. I ain't got a home, not since the Bliss. This place'll do.

At least I can fight back, protect something.

What's your name, kid? [A smile. 'Kid' is practically on par with 'Madam' as an honorific, to him.]

Takamachi Nanoha! You can just call me Nanoha! Don't worry, we all live here, and most of the people are nice, even if a lot of them aren't used to kids being able to fight with them. But you're older than me, so you should be fine!

I guess! What do you do around here - wait, are you a combatant?

[This... bothers Joshua on some level]

How old are you?

...I'd ask if you knew what you're getting into, but somehow I figure you've already sortied.

Uh-huh, a couple times. Most people here don't really like that I fight, since I'm a kid, but everyone needs to pitch in if we're going to help these people. That's what I think.

I'm not about to stop you from doing what you need to do. God knows enough people have tried to stop me for equally shitty reasons. But... well, be careful, okay? Hell, I'm not sure I'M old enough to be doing this, but I gotta try.

Are you with any army back home? Lots of people here are.

Local Resistance group. I'm in it's ANIMa corps. About the only thing that can hurt a Nightmare - kind of alien we have to deal with, and aptly named, unfortunately.

Some of the people and aliens we've been fighting came from our own worlds, but I haven't seen anything like that here.

Pretty sure they'll be along. Nasty fuckers - and far as we can tell, they're the conquistadores and our dimension are the Aztecs.

You mean, they're taking over other worlds? Then they probably would come here...

Dreams are linked to all worlds, I think is how Derek told it. The Collective Unconscious, Freud and Jung crap. It's their ticket in.

If you or anyone else has a particularly vivid lowercase nightmare, you tell me - it might be enough warning to prevent the uppercase Nightmares from getting the jump on us.
