[Is it possibly for a mental voice to sound giddy? Because there's a distinct giddy tinge to By's thoughts, for all that his words come out with his normal, lazy, lightly Russian-accented drawl.]

Byerly Vorrutyer here. We're on Earth, pre-spaceflight, although someone who isn't me will need to get a better read on the actual date and location. Linguistically, it's a hodgepodge. I can hear archaic Russian, a whole host of Asiatic and Romance languages, and something else I can't quite place.

If you can "hear" this, check in. We need to know who we've got to work with.

Oh yeah, I didn't think of that.

[He sounds so relieved.]

I can stand seeing Souji looking all weak and meek.

It is also possible she's underestimating him. But at the very least, I don't think you'll find Yua on the other end of that engagement.

[wantedittobeagame]

I dunno; from the way that she's talking, I'm half expecting seeing him unable to lift a sword.

But that's good.

[leftbehindagain]

From what you've said, it sounds like she doesn't even want to be here. That might have some bearing on how she's seeing things.

[wantedittobeagame]

Probably.

...I kinda accidentally called her a bitch to her face. But it's kind of fitting.

[leftbehindagain]

[That may or may not be a snort. Whatever she did in response to that, Adachi-san, you probably deserved it.]

Whiny child side in full swing, then. She's going to hate herself after this, isn't she?

[wantedittobeagame]

I'm more worried that it will be less hating herself and more we'll have another secret hideout to slog through.

[leftbehindagain]

...Yeesh. Good point.

Well, if we do, we do. That's at least one thing all of us have dealt with before, except possibly Dojima-san. [Seriously, it's kind of uncanny how little Naoto changes across timelines. They all more or less know her.]

[wantedittobeagame]

Of course.

In the meantime, I'll try and keep her down to a dull roar. At least try to keep her from being too humiliated.

[leftbehindagain]

Good luck. It sounds like you're going to need it.

If there's something I can do, I will. Otherwise I'm going to see what else I can find out.

[wantedittobeagame]

You'll hear me yelling. Probably literally.

Good luck yourself.
