Trying not to spoil things for an OC testrun is hard - @SRW U

[caressthedarkness]

1. [There's a newcomer on the video channels today: a very formal looking, bespectacled young woman.]

I apologize for the interruption. You must all be busy, so I'll keep this short as I possibly can.

My name is Seta Albreich. Codename: Winter.

Effective immediately, I'll be joining the Unity Group as a representative of the Gloster Foundation. For those of you not in the know: we are a small organization specializing in the extermination of certain supernatural threats.

I might not be able to answer all your questions at this point in time, but I hope we'll be able to get along.



2. [A while after she's done with 1, Seta is in the lounge, where she's shakily treating herself to some coffee, or tea. You stumble upon her as she's talking to herself...]

That was the worst. I told them I was no good with people...I did!

But this is what happens all the time. Maybe they want me dead from embarrassment. Ha...haha...that must be it...I should pretend that I never noticed...

[There is something else she's not noticing, and that would be that the mug she's placed on the table is...yeah, it's upside down. As a result, she's actually pouring boiling hot drink all over the counter...]



3. [And if the above wasn't enough to shatter her professional, cool lady image, you're now facing another kind of problem while trying to play a game or some kind of sport with her. It's something that should be general knowledge, yet...]

Please explain that last bit again.

[This has been going on for the past half hour.]



4. [Time for a round of battle. Up until a while ago, you've been facing small threats like infantry, but now you're being forced to split up to deal with an intensifying fight. Someone has to remain behind...]

If that's how things are, I'll stay.

It might be difficult to believe, but I can at least buy you some time.

[Says the person with no mecha of her own. It's true that she's been doing fine on foot so far by playing it smart, but the scale of this battle is about to increase significantly...]

I am making sure that I fully understand, all of it...

"If you can't get it right the first time, then you shouldn't do it at all."

...Is what Madame would say. It's how I was taught.

[cloningblues]

What.

What kind of strange logic is this?

[caressthedarkness]

Is that...not how the world works?

[cloningblues]

You almost never succeed on the first try. If I only did things I got right the first time, I'd never accomplish anything.

[caressthedarkness]

Hmmm.

This is new to me...acclimation will be more difficult than I expected.

Who is your mistress anyway? And why is she a "mistress"?

[cloningblues]

Wait... Don't tell me that...!

[What's going on in your mind, Asagi?]

[caressthedarkness]

[Seta is obviously clueless here.]

What should I not be telling you?

[cloningblues]

Er...

Nevermind. Just answer my first question, please.

Madame is my tutor in everything to do with life. She told me to address her this way.

She's mostly responsible for my combat training. And the kind of person she is would be...

[Seta takes a moment to think, and then makes an expression that is very unlike her. The easiest way to explain is via an impression, it seems.]


"If you can't deal with this level of trash, don't even look at me anymore. I don't understand why it's even a fucking problem in the first place. If you don't think I'm helping, I'll show you what it means when I REALLY don't give you a hand. Do I make myself clear?"

[caressthedarkness]

Or something like that.

[cloningblues]

And here I thought I had a scary teacher...

[caressthedarkness]

[Despite how bad this seems, she can still afford to smile.]

She might not be honest with herself about it, but...she isn't a terrible person.

I learned many things from her.
