SRW Z protagonist for SRWU the game

[star_of_sad]

[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.]

Comments

[star_of_sad]

[Oh great, now some asshole is teasing her. Setsuko tries to back away.]

It was a mistake. During field testing.

[stupiddisciple]

You are a terrible liar, you know. Almost as bad as they are at interrogations.

[Nope spooky lady's gonna stay all up in yo grill]

Did nobody ever teach you to stand up for yourself?

[star_of_sad]

...

There's no need.

Military is about following orders, not standing up to your superiors.

[stupiddisciple]

Yes. But there are other ways to tell your masters things they do not want to hear than a direct confrontation.

Come, we can talk about it in the...cafeteria, it was called? It will be my treat, as you say-you can even get that jumbo parfait, if you so desire.

[star_of_sad]

Other ways, you say...

Wait! How do you know I like parfaits?

[stupiddisciple]

Well, a bookseller must always know the habits and preferences of potential customers.

[star_of_sad]

You are a bookseller?

[Setsuko doesn't look like she's buying it. Get it? Ha ha pun.]

[stupiddisciple]

Yes. I run a shop on Star Rose. You are welcome to stop by anytime, of course.

...I have been told before that I look like a holy woman, but my dress is quite normal where I come from. For a woman of my status, at least.

[And the two arrive at the cafeteria. Fruit tarts are on sale!]

Order what you wish.

[star_of_sad]

So you come from that kind of place? I see.

[Setsuko browses through the list of sweets with visibly growing anticipation. It's hard to make a decision!]

Consider being Alfred or Jeeves

[stupiddisciple]

Yes. My home is a very different land from this one...we do not have nearly so much food as you do.

[Well Jacquier's just getting a small bit of tiramisu.]

I was in the military myself, though my masters could be a great deal more cruel than yours. So...a dutiful servant learns things. How to tell them they are wrong without directly opposing them. How to guide them away from a self-destructive course of action. That sort of thing.

[star_of_sad]

[A large number of sweets materialized in front of Setsuko when you weren't looking. Don't underestimate a person with a serious sweet tooth.]

You talk of masters and servants. That almost sounds like something from the past, like medieval times.

Your country really must have been a lot different than how things are done here.

1/2

[stupiddisciple]

...Yes, yes it was...

[That's...quite a few sweets...Still, she did say 'order what you wish'...]

2/2

[stupiddisciple]

...ah, I must apologize. Not just my country, my whole world is...like that. It is a much harsher and crueler land than this, but...I still miss it.

This world is still so odd...you have so much food, so much technology, but no Nobles and nothing that can walk the shadows...you even have mob rule for your governments. It is a miracle you have not all perished.
