[Today, all over the school, there's a girl walking around! She looks a little lost, perhaps, and like she's exploring the area, but she still has a bright smile on her face. She's also trying to initiate conversation with everyone she sees-- at the very least, she's trying to introduce herself to as many people as possible. She's aware that she will probably be spending some time here, so it can't hurt to start getting to know everyone now! Besides, there were probably a lot of interesting people around.

So! In most places of the school, Nia can be found smiling at the people that pass by, making a point to introduce herself to everyone possible. Do you want to be one of those people?]

Hello! My name is Nia.

There is too much to do to rest!

[freewolfmoon.livejournal.com]

[Pause.]

I stand corrected.

[flowerpoint.livejournal.com]

You do?

[freewolfmoon.livejournal.com]

You are no simpleton, but you may be slightly mad.

[flowerpoint.livejournal.com]

But there is nothing to be angry about at this time!

[Whoops definition confusion go.]

[freewolfmoon.livejournal.com]

[He slowly brings one gauntleted hand to his head and covers his eyes.]

[flowerpoint.livejournal.com]

Is something wrong?

[Achievement Unlocked: Make the Broody Elf Facepalm.]

[freewolfmoon.livejournal.com]

[He lowers his hand.]

Tell me, how have you survived nearly to adulthood?

[flowerpoint.livejournal.com]

[Hmm...

Answered completely seriously.]

My father raised me for awhile, and then I was taken in by Team Dai-Gurren!

[freewolfmoon.livejournal.com]

[He's silent for a moment, trying to piece together something that makes sense out of that.]

Fortunate, that you had someone to take you in after your father passed.

[Because that's what those words imply, isn't it?]

[flowerpoint.livejournal.com]

[What, no. IT WASN'T REALLY THAT...]

It was not that, exactly, but yes! I am very fortunate that Team Dai-Gurren was willing to take me in.

[freewolfmoon.livejournal.com]

Then what--

[He catches himself.]

I apologize. It's not my concern. You should seek someone to take you in here, unless you intend to use this place's magic to defend yourself.

[A brief flash of a sneer at the word.]

[flowerpoint.livejournal.com]

I do not think that I will be using the magic here! I have too many things that I want to remember, and I do not want to chance losing them! [She's learned that much, at least.]

You do not have to worry about me, either! I am able to take care of myself.

[freewolfmoon.livejournal.com]

[He catches himself in the middle of another sneer; it smooths away into a look that's mostly surprised and just a little bit impressed.]

You are one of the first I've met here who would not throw their memories away for power.

[flowerpoint.livejournal.com]

I am? [She almost thought there'd be more, but... well, maybe they needed that power to protect the people important to them!]

[freewolfmoon.livejournal.com]

Yes. It seems few can resist magic's call to power, given the choice, no matter what it asks them to sacrifice.

[Wow, there's even more bitterness than before in his voice now.]

[flowerpoint.livejournal.com]

They may have important reasons for doing it! ... Are you okay?

[Do you need a hug, Fenris.]

[freewolfmoon.livejournal.com]

I would not wish to know what they consider important enough to give up what binds them to their past, to their family--

[He stops. What did she just ask him?]

Am I..."okay"?

[He sounds faintly incredulous.]

[flowerpoint.livejournal.com]

Yes! Are you okay? You sound like there might be something that is not okay.

[freewolfmoon.livejournal.com]

[He starts to lift his hand to his head again. The urge to facepalm, it is irresistible around Nia.]

No. I am not okay. Nothing about this is "okay."

[flowerpoint.livejournal.com]

Are you sure about that? There seem to be a lot of good things, even if there are a few things that I am not sure about!

[freewolfmoon.livejournal.com]

Yet those good things will be led to ruin soon enough. Yes. I am certain.

[flowerpoint.livejournal.com]

I believe that I will have to disagree. Good things do not necessarily always lead to that.
