the general - day zero.

[foxhounds]

THE GENERAL day zero Ivan has told you what you're meant to do in the coming days, and she's also told you that there's an hour before other souls will start washing up on the shores. She has to leave to prepare, but you're all together in the lobby of the mansion. Take it as a chance to meet each other and get to know the people you'll be working with.

[Aah, a noble. Yes, this all seems very familiar. Just goes to show that people are people everywhere.]

[Anyway, Gi-ne nods along in agreement.] Right, right. No buddying around with a commoner for you, huh? Nice to meet you, Clarine. I don't think I've heard of Etruria, sorry, I'm from Vegeta.

[unrulyprincess]

That's right!

[She seems pleased as punch now that Gi-ne is going along with it....Clarine's so easy to play.]

But ah, yes, it does seem as though there are some...strange occurrences happening here, such as our being from such different places...

[....]

But no matter, it should not stop us from what we must do.

[meatery]

[Nods again.]

Yeah. Just focus on the job. No matter how weird you guys are, we have to work together on the battlefield. [Cringes suddenly.] Otherwise...

[unrulyprincess]

There is no "otherwise".

[Hmph. She crosses her arms, shaking her head.]

We shall succeed, so there is no reason to even consider otherwise.

[meatery]

... [Smiles and pats Clarine on the head.] You're getting the hang of this "General" thing already.

[unrulyprincess]

[OH GOD........ WHAT DOES SHE DO WITH THIS SIGN OF AFFECTION.

She freezes in place at the headpat, and for a moment just.

Stops.

Wh

?????]

W-what are you doing...! Don't condescend to me!

[She says, as she blushes fiercely and looks a little pleased.... don't mind her.]

[meatery]

[FINE, NO HEAD PATS and Gi-ne will try really hard not to laugh.]

Right, right! I won't!

[unrulyprincess]

[...a-ahem]

T-thank you. Regardless... that is, um...

[...]

Is there...anything else we should be doing...? [she's not good at this "making friends" thing.]

We still have what feels like so much time...

[meatery]

[Man, she needs to kidnap this kid and have her teach Prince Vegeta some manners... Nah, he'd just kill them both.]

Oh, I dunno. [What should they do?] I suppose we could plan our attack? Should we just jump them as soon as they arrive or did that woman say we were supposed to wait until night?

[unrulyprincess]

[A beat. And she shakes her head.]

Surely we would be at a disadvantage if we attacked all of them at once... I don't even have my magic tomes with me, nor a stave. It would just be asking for trouble.

Besides, we clearly have a very particular role, according to that woman.

[She doesn't like it, but what can they do? Violating that might ruin all of their chances.]

[meatery]

Ah, but we'd all be together too! And we only have to get them down to five to win! I bet we could do it!

[Stuff like this is why Gi-ne isn't usually the one to make the plans.]

It could be over before that woman even notices!

[unrulyprincess]

And then what? She takes us to task for ignoring her carefully constructed rules? I think not.

[She's not that great at tactics and even she can see that's a bad idea.]

We'll do this properly, so as to be certain we may all live.

[meatery]

... [Pouts.] Fine, fine. Secrets and sneaking, I'll play along.

[For Kakarrot and Raditz. If she keeps reminding herself of that, it'll be okay.]

[unrulyprincess]

...Right. With that settled, then...

[She clears her throat, and more properly and lady-like:]

I look forward to working with you.

[meatery]

Same here. Don't worry, it'll be fine.
