 [The video begins with Aya looking up at the sun a moment, briefly unaware that she's being recorded already. She makes a small 'tch' sound.] I've seen worse.

[And now she's staring RIGHT. AT. YOU.] I don't know who wants to be stuck in Nevada, but it sure as hell isn't me. I'm not joining your group, and I'm not fighting for any cause but getting

[ Another Cloud-looking babe? This looks like a job forrr . . . ! ]

Is there a problem? Aside from the obvious, of course.

[intuitivecop]

[Tseng knows how to soothe the ladies.

Aya stares down at her device trying to figure out why there's only voice and no vid-- oh. Now she just looks suspicious.]

Who are you?

[ voice ]

[bravoalphamike]

[ He has that Addams Family-brand proficiency with it. ]

A concerned party, you might say. Or were you searching for a name?

[video]

[intuitivecop]

[Oh, you took that course too?]

A name. [He sounds somewhat competent, but she isn't getting his angle here. Aside from the fact she's a smokin' babe.] Why would you want to help me?

[requiem_no_ame]

[Dryly]

And of course you're the first one to say something of the sort.

[Video]

[intuitivecop]

[Get a hair-cut, hippie.]

... [She stares with slight impatience.] Have anything useful to divulge or am I wasting my time?

[Video]

[requiem_no_ame]

[You just say that because you're jealous of his awesome hair.]

Well, you're entertaining me, which I'd say is the highest pursuit in life...

[yeah_i_can_fly]

If it hasn't occurred to you already, that might be the only reason some people are fighting for their little war: to get back home as quick as possible.

[intuitivecop]

[For the love of-- another mysterious voice. She's starting to get annoyed.]

Fighting a battle for someone else's problem? Tch. [...But he does have a point.] I'm not too fond of joining a cause that seems to make us expendable.

[Video]

[yeah_i_can_fly]

[Don't worry, he doesn't actually mind showing his face.]

Neither am I. [Okay, that's a lie; he basically did that back home, didn't?] I was just pointing out the logic. Not that I've taken it to heart yet myself... [That, however, is not a lie. He hasn't started taking lessons yet and still doesn't believe anything at face value. Yet.]

[Video]

[intuitivecop]

[Not a half bad looking face either. Winkwink nudgenudge.]

I guess there isn't much room for rebellion, even if we're skeptics. [She frowns.] Are you... going along with all of this?

Voice.

[closedmarket]

I think there is only six here who wish to be here, and they do not know any better.

However, then you have your cause to fight for, aru.

[Video]

[intuitivecop]

Maybe their homes are crappier than this place.

[She thinks on it.] Another guy said something along those lines, but that doesn't have me eager to throw myself on the line for a cause that wasn't supposed to concern me. [She tilts her head and crosses her arms.] I take it you're on board though, huh?

[Voice forever.]

[closedmarket]

Or their homes have come here.

Only to get home, and to protect my own. I am on nothing else for this place. If you are worried about dying here, aru, there are ways to aid without fighting.

[intuitivecop]

[She might understand that, if Eve were here.]

Dying... [Aya almost laughs, but it's a small snort.] You're one hell of a campaigner.

[Her expression softens a little; this woman seems... genuine, and for once since she's arrived, Aya let's herself appear worried.]

My sister. [She hesitates, warning herself not to be too hopeful.] Have you seen her? She's small-- blonde, blue eyed. She's only about 10 years old, there's no way she can take care of herself on her own. [Aya glances away to bite her lower lip in guilt and embarrassment.]
