First Distortion Cut: Enter 00

[orewagundamda]

There isn't so much a new face in the Docks district as there is a rather large new robot floating around, searching for... something. You may notice that your radio's get jammed as the robot's green, particle-like exhaust comes out of the strange thrusters placed on the machine's shoulders. If you hail him the face of a rather serious looking young man will stare back at you.

"My name is Setsuna F. Seiei. I have come here in order to aid in the defense of Midgard." He... doesn't say anything else. Outwardly, he doesn't say anything. Internally, he's embarassed because he doesn't know where he can park his machine, and someone with strong mental powers may be able to pick up on that, even if they aren't talking to him. He likely isn't aware that he's broadcasting his feelings, so you'll have to point it out to him.

You would assume correctly. The closest to any such device I saw before my Prince's mausoleum moved to Gensokyo was a strange metal bird.

[orewagundamda]

A metal bird... ['Could she be talking about an airplane?'] You have a prince?

[departed_child_of_gods]

Prince Shoutoku, yes. A truly inspirational and remarkable person. She has ascended the cycle of rebirth to become an immortal shikaisen. She would have been a great asset to this fight, so I do not know why the valkyries chose me over her.

[orewagundamda]

['Wouldn't it be more correct to call her a princess then? Though a royal who fights is something rare in our day and age...'] It could be that the Valkyries felt you would have been more able to represent your liege in battle.

[departed_child_of_gods]

Hmmph. I suppose it is all well and good the task should fall to me. It still feels as though they have underestimated HER power, however. I suppose better us than those damned Buddhists.

[orewagundamda]

[What? Why would anyone hate buddhists?]

Is there... a reason why you wouldn't prefer the buddhists to be present here?

[departed_child_of_gods]

Because the damned Buddhists are the reason Prince Shoutoku couldn't awaken into immortality as early as she wanted! Persistent and sneaky, the lot of them!

[orewagundamda]

[There is a story to this, and while he would try and argue that there's no point to needless antagonism, he's just going to let it go, as it's likely something way over his head, considering he's talking with a ghost of all things.]

What is your name? [so he knows who to look for in the event this 'prince' of hers shows up]

*She calms down a bit. Which is good, because the air around her was getting a little electric.*

Soga no Tojiko. Charmed, I'm sure.
