[ When the NV flickers on, the image presented is fuzzy at best. But with enough squinting, it becomes clear that the video is showing the interior of a standard apartment room for newcomers. After some rustling of movement from the left, the video is finally raised upward to display the face of a (young?) boy in slightly better quality - ]Fellow

Of the "Mu"--ahahaha...never heard of it.

They didn't tell you that you were in Canada, at least?

[video]

[soldiershin]

[ Barely managing to hear those mumbled words, because they're important. ] . . . Never heard of it? Truly?

And they mentioned the term, but I wasn't too certain of its significance. Is "Canada" the name of this planet?

[video]

[deceptive_lulz]

Sorry. Eheh--you look human...so uh is that some kind of cultural term?

But no. Heehee! [That short squeal of laughter may seem a bit different from her other laughs so far, as it was a genuine sound of amusement.] It's a country. The planet is Earth. I think? I guess I never really asked, eheheh...

[video]

[soldiershin]

[ Pauses for a moment. Then: ]

The Mu are also humans, but we also possess psionic abilities.

But more importantly, Earth? As in, the third planet of the Sol System?

[video]

[deceptive_lulz]

Ah, really? Where I came from, abilities like that were pretty rare. I'm sure the army was interested in you, huh? Heheh?

But ah that sounds right? [Astronomy wasn't her strongest subject.]

I don't really understand this place either.

[video]

[soldiershin]

Um. [ Interested? --How to answer this question. ] Not really. They saw us as deviants from the norm than anything of interest. But you've spoken to others with powers similar to mine?

I see. Thank you for answering my question. Who am I speaking to?

[video]

[deceptive_lulz]

In the world I come from, I knew one, but there were others. Ahaha-- but the military here took more interest in taking advantage of those powers. I don't know if you'd be worse or better off, in your situation.

Huh? [Oh right, she did forget to introduce herself. Again.] Oh, aha--I'm Sarina. Sarina Svenson.

[video]

[soldiershin]

That's horrible. Against the person's will?

[ Shakes his head. ] Ah. . . I'm sorry about the somber subject, Sarina. It's nice to meet you.

[voice forever because I'm a derp and lazy >.>]

[deceptive_lulz]

Sometimes.

[She was glad that the gulp couldn't be heard as she vaguely started to think back on that time--though she had no psychic powers of her own. It was other talents.]

Don't worry about it! Haha! [She forced herself into this particularly cheery nature, to the point of sounding superficial.] It's nice meeting you too, Mr. Shin, is it?

[video forever over here!]

[soldiershin]

You can just call me Jomy.

[ Something about that tone of voice just strikes him as- odd. ] Are you alright?

[deceptive_lulz]

Jomy? Alright, Jomy it is, heehee~

[With a bit of a struggle, she pulled her mind away from her angst.]

I'm fine, ahaha! Why do you ask~? Are you alright?

[soldiershin]

[ ...? ]

I thought I was, but I guess I'm still a little disoriented from arriving here.

[deceptive_lulz]

Oh, it happens to everyone, haha!

I threw up a little when I got here too! [Yeah, she's still working on the whole appropriate conversation thing.]

[soldiershin]

[ He's patient! ]

Ah. . . well, my sickness isn't that bad. Did those symptoms last long?

[deceptive_lulz]

Oh? That's good then, heheh! But no, I don't think it usually lasts very long. But I knew a boy who got sick when he tried to leave the city! So I wouldn't recommend doing that, eheh.

[soldiershin]

. . . Are you certain that it was trying to leave the city that caused his sickness?
