[Zack is swimming in District Aquae and it is fabulous to relax after that rescue!]

[Natalia is practicing her archery in District Silvae to get her mind off of things. She may also be visiting Tear to make sure she's all right. Whichever works.]

[Have a fellow archer]

Not bad, darlin'. Not bad at all.

Oh, thank you!

[Putting her bow down, Natalia turned to the new person]

I find that archery helps me settle my mind, and after what happened, it's been a bit stressful.

[Raven nods]

I feel ya on that, darlin'. Especially after all that's happened, y'know?

It seems that we've all come from such wondrous journeys.

How about you, sir?

[Raven nods]

Yeah, adventure just seems to find me, y'know?

What the Hell is this?

[Urd has found herself at the Cetus Dock, and is a newcomer. The concept is nothing new; back in her world, she had her Other Self: World of Elegance. Being assigned an Arcana instead of a Rune is new, though. Conjuring herself up new clothes and settling in, she's walking the streets to figure out exactly who else is running around.]

[ There was a young woman who happened to be moving along with her days, bringing some small things from the store to make food for the evening. It was a strange living style here, even though it had not been that long.

She wasn't constantly fighting everything as she did in Auldrant, though the last fight left her mind in exhaustion. She acquired something she had not really understood yet. Yulia was its name, shaped like the 7th Fonist that had made a pact with Lorelei. ]

Hmm? You have an angel, too?

[Or, wait, what did they call them here?]

A Persona?

An angel--?

[ Tear seemed confused at the first comment but the second one made much more sense. ]

Yes, I have been given a Persona as well, if that is what you're referring to. Do you require some assistance?

[ She somewhat heard the person speaking a moment before. ]

Well...

[Urd crosses her arms, a bit perplexed]

I'm new here. This whole "Persona" thing on the elevator seemed self-inclusive enough, given I already sort of have one.

[Concentrating, behind her, Urd's Angel, World of Elegance materialized.]

This is my Angel, World of Elegance.

[ Tear wasn't particularly knowledgeable with them either, but she knew a few details from what she had dug up after her rescue mission. ]

I see, so it seems like you've obtained it easily. From what I am aware, a Persona is a personification of your other self. You are fortunate to receive it rather then subdue it.

[ She offers a faint smile. ] A pleasure to meet you.

[ She greeted. Tear had no reason to materialize her being unless she was asked to. It wasn't something she was comfortable with yet. ]

[World of Elegance disappeared.]

Well, in my world they work slightly differently, but the basic idea is the same. My Angel is a reflection of my soul, a mirror to my self. So I have that down at least.

[It wasn't easy accepting her Other Self, that was for sure, but that was a story for another time]

I just realized I introduced my Angel before myself.

[chuckle]

I am Urd, Goddess Second Class, Administrative License, Restricted. It's a pleasure to meet you as well.

[ she admitted it was a strangely beautiful thing to see, these other beings that they called 'Persona.' It would require some time to sit down and researched them if she could. At the moment, she seemed quite for a moment until the woman spoke again. ]

I see, from the world I came from, a being like this is quite foreign.

[ That's true, everyone had internal struggles, and some appear more obvious than others. ]

It's fine,you do no need to apologize.

[ Tear nodded in her greeting. ]

In my world, I am Locrian Sergeant Tear Grants of the Oracle Knights Intelligence Division.

[whistles]

Sounds like you're quite the soldier.

[heh, Titles were important, weren't they? That much didn't change.]

Is it particularly dangerous here, or is there anything I should look out for?

I suppose so.

[ A mouthful but she was used to using her name in that manner. ]

There are unknown entities that we do no know about. One of which had taken me captive, Shadows is what I believe they were called. I suppose you don't have to be concerned with it much.

Well, if these Shadows try to harm anyone else, I'll be around to help fight them.

[It was a goddess' duty to help those in need... right?]

Thank you.

[ Tear replied giving her a warm look for that statement. She was a lively person. She sort of reminded her of a certain teen. ]

Anyway, I'd better go and get a better feel for this place.

[Free flight was not an option, given that Urd wasn't too used to the energy that permeated this place yet, but she was only going to give it time.]

I'll catch you later, all right?

I will not hold you up, then.

[ She nodded her head. ]

Yes, please be careful on your way as well.

[ After the whole fiasco, Tear's been trying to recover from the mental strain the whole ordeal had brought onto her. She's spending some quiet time in her apartment, cleaning her weapon, while looking the window. There's a quiet amount of singing as she continues to repeat the lyrics of Yulia's Hymns. ]

[knock at the door]

Tear?

[ Tear's singing was cut short when she heard a knock, and Natalia's voice. ]

Yes, give me a moment.

[ She mused lightly, before putting the weapon down and walking over to the door unlocking it and greeting Natalia. ]

I know you're resting, but I just thought I'd check up on you. Do you need some food or anything? I could go out and get some for you.

I'm alright Natalia, there is no need to worry.

[ she replied stepping aside to give Natalia some room. ]

Shall we go shop for food together?

[ Since it was easier to have more hands on carrying food and all. ]

That sounds like fun!

[Natalia and Tear had already found out the hard way that nobody was allowed in one's quarters except that person alone; the first few hours after the rescue Natalia had to make do with nursing Tear in the lobby until she felt well enough to go back into her own room.]

I just can't begin to tell you how glad I am that we were able to rescue you in time.

Then shall we get going?

[ She replied giving her companion a gentle smile. Natalia had been a big help to her since they got back and it was unfortunate that the living quarters were being difficult when it was a crucial situation. ]

Yes, and thank you.

[ She replied with a sincere tone. ] I am still uncertain how I found myself there.

That's not important right now, Tear.

[Well, it kinda was, but there was no point in pushing Tear to remember something she may never know.]

That Tower is dangerous, but it seems like within it hides the answers we need to get out of here.

I suppose it isn't.

[ She replied with an understanding nod for what Natalia had said to her. Tear didn't mind it much. Compared to the tragedies that she had seen in her life, this was only a small matter. ]

I agree and we should investigate it when the time comes, regardless of how dangerous seems.

[ Of course in a careful manner. ]

[...]

Say, Tear.

Could you tell me a bit about your brother?

[Natalia only knew Van as the Commandant who tried to destroy the world in order to create a new one. Tear's Shadow Dungeon showed something different.]

[ Tear turned to Natalia briefly as the blond spoke to her. ]

...About...Van?

[ She wasn't sure she wanted to talk about it. Tear became quiet for a moment before she spoke to Natalia again with her usual tone. ]

Van...my brother was a parent and a brother to me. He treated me well, and I became an Oracle Knight to assist him. Unfortunately, I have long known his hate for Auldrant...

I see.

[...]

I was just wondering. I never knew Van the way that you did, after all.

I never had anybody like that in my life.

Yes, he was always a proud person. My brother would not stop at anything to get what he wants.

I've always admired his strength, but I cannot accept his ways of achieving it.

I suppose not, but I am certain there will be someone that you will be able to view in such ways just as I have for my brother.

[ Mikagami's been a little irritated with all the new things that he had to deal with. Eventually, he just found himself somewhere remote enough to swing his sword around. It didn't feel like the Madogu that he had, but it was useful enough.

He could use this as an advantage to learn new techniques with that newly acquired thing of his. ]

[Having endured the rescue of Tear, Hubert is looking forward to a little quiet reading. He can be found at a library, sitting in a chair, trying to look as inconspicuous as a dude with electric blue hair can...]

[Quiet reading? Pfft. Not after their kind of chat after she appeared here! Pascal had started to walk around, wandering really, poking her head into places. And it's doing that that she sees Hubert in the library.

Quiet? What is 'quiet' when it comes to a library and Pascal?]

Little Bro! LITTTTTTTTTLLLLLLLE BRRRRRROOOOOOOO! [TACKLEJUMP]

[Oh, Pascal. You can tackle jump him any day. Not that he'll say that of course...]

[He is indeed tacklejumped and gives her an annoyed glare]

This is a library.

Pfft, library-smibrary! I can come over and say hi, can't I?

Yes, yes you can.
However, you should do it quietly.

[A tiny smile]

How have you been?

Quietly? That's no fun. Gosh, you're too by the rules. Live a little sometimes! Defy the rules! Say no to the man!

[Because it's fun. Really fun.]

Eh, you know. I've been all right. I'm still tryin' to figure this place out. Only been here a few hours.

Rules are in place for a reason. It would behoove you to follow them.

[A sigh. He knows that's a losing argument right there]

I've been here awhile and I'm still trying to figure this place out.

[He closes the book and holds it on his lap]

That's like askin' Fourier to stop trying to get me to take a bath, Little Bro.

[Which will never happen. Maybe if she could smell like food or something after a bath, but who makes food-flavoured bath soap? WELP, there's a goal right there.]

That bad here, huh? Not even you can figure it out?

[A sigh. He knows it's a pleasant, yet pointless battle]

[Adjusting his glasses and looks at her. Was that a backhanded compliment? Well, then, his day just became a little brighter]

There are many things that are foreign to me, and that poor girl being held hostage did not help the matter.

Woah wait, someone was held hostage? Does that place do that?

Yes, a woman named Tear. She has since been freed, but I don't know if it was this place or someone in particular that was the cause.

[He frowns]

There are many things about this place we need to study further.
