SRW Z protagonist for SRWU the game

[1]
[Setsuko is not having a pleasant conversation. Maybe she's talking to you, maybe to someone else, but one thing remains constant in that the treatment she gets is NOT one she deserves. Maybe she's being chewed out very harshly for a minor mistake. Or maybe it's just bullying.]

Y... yes.

I understand.

[Figurative tail between the legs, she's taking it without standing up to the other person and just hoping it's over soon.]


[2]
Ahh!

[What does it take to cheer up the usually timid and unhappy test pilot? Why, a parfait of course. Which she eats at the moment and looks like the happiest person alive.]

It's so delicious!

[3, action/combat prompt]

[Your enemy is a very fast, black Edgy McEdge unit. You can tell the foe is powerful and if you're not careful, you're a goner.

How does Setsuko react?]


Asakim Dowen!

[Virgola charges forward recklessly. That's how.]

PREPARE YOURSELF!


[4]
... No...

[Something really bad just happened. Maybe someone close to you died, or maybe you are in distress or mortal danger. Or even more likely, the one who is in distress or danger is Setsuko herself.]

Not... not again...

[The very space around you starts to twist and turn, like if a dimensional rift was being formed. If the girl doesn't calm down immediately, something really bad is about to happen.]

Selena, universal boundaries are-

I don't need you telling me that to know it, Elma!

[Okay. Kindred spirits time.]

Setsuko, you need to calm down here. I know things are bad, but we can work through them. You and I can get through them! But first you need to understand that and calm down.

If you don't, things are going to only get worse, and I know you don't want them to!

[star_of_sad]

No...

Stay away... stay away!

Please!

[PTSD? Or is Setsuko trying to tell you to get out while you still can?]

[prismphantom]

[She's staying put, neither running nor rushing in. Invading someone's personal space when they're distraught never works well.]

And leave you alone like this? I've lost some of the people who were closest to me; I don't mind risking my life to help one of the ones I have left.

[star_of_sad]

I don't want to lose anyone else... it's too much.

[Hey, the distortion is decreasing a little.]

Just... too much...

[prismphantom]

And I don't want to lose anyone else either. That's... why I'll break off from fighting Spectra if it means just saving one person's life.

[Well, that and it pisses Spectra off royally. But Selena can do that any number of ways.]

And that's why I'm staying here. I won't sacrifice the last Star just so the last Jelba can live.

[star_of_sad]

[The anomaly falls down to levels that shouldn't be a problem anymore. Well, that's good.]

Miss Selena...

Thank you...

[But the situation is still far from perfect.]

[prismphantom]

Any time, Setsuko. I've been in these kinds of situations myself... but at least then I had Elma.

[And now's the time she goes over to the sad little girl.]

Now. How about we see about having Elma cook us up something when we get back to base? He'll make anything you want.

But Selena, I do need practice with new-

ANYTHING you want.

[And she's gonna kick the Suppobot for that.]

[star_of_sad]

Then... I suppose...

[Look, she's trying to gather herself back into something resembling a human shape.]

Would a chocolate cake be alright?

[prismphantom]

Chocolate cake's perfectly doable. Right, Elma?

Of course! I've got lots of experience with those!

Ever since he was built, Elma's always made birthday cakes for me, so he knows a good recipe for one. We'll just be sure to include extra chocolate.
