[ The video clicks to life to show a girl staring at the camera with a very displeased expression on her face. She's less than happy to be here and the instant the video starts, she begins ranting, without even bothering to introduce herself. ]

WHAT IS THIS?! Where am I? And more importantly, how do I get home?! This place is giving me a headache already and I've only been here five minutes! [ She begins tapping a foot impatiently, as if someone will turn up to ship her home if she does it long enough. When that doesn't happen, she stamps her foot and folds her arms across her chest. ]

This is ridiculous! I don't care what this Queen or whatever says, I don't want to stay here! I don't want to get a job! I want to go home!

[Have a black-haired girl adorn in slender, black armor. No helmet of course.]

Did you just say you 'don't want to get a job'? Goodness, never before have I seen a drifter as kempt as yourself.

How do you do it?

[ohimesama]

E--excuse me?!

[ Miku's not sure if she should be offended or not. ]

I'm not a drifter! I just think it's completely unfair that I should be forced to work in a place I never asked to be sent to!

[never_go_back]

Hmn?

[Kodachi plays dumb, of course, though continues to look amused.]

Oh you are not, that is my error. However no one is forcing you to work, dear. It's simply recommended you do if you wish to avoid having an even more complicated life.

Do take a calm breath, would you?

So what, you're saying I should starve to death on the streets instead, huh? I've barely eaten since I got here because I'm trying to scrape together as much money as I can to save! [ a bit of a white lie, seeing as she's been eating mostly sweets since she got here, but this woman doesn't need to know that. ]

Where am I supposed to get a job, anyway?!

[Video]

[never_go_back]

That is hardly what I suggest, dear.

[Kodachi isn't buying it; despite not having any idea of what this girl's true identity is. Still, there is something about her that makes her seem important, so the Black Rose is curious to know more.]

Well.. I do not regularly do this for girls, but I simply cannot allow you to go hungry, can I? Should you so desire, I can prepare you a meal and assist you a little. [How generous!] By the way, I am Kodachi Kuno; the Black Rose of the Highcrest Knights.

[ f--free food?! wow this lady was more generous than miku had given her credit for. looking a little uncomfortable, given how she'd just acted, miku's not sure if she should continue with her annoyance or switch to being sugary sweet, which would probably be a little suspicious. so she decides to do neither. ]

Th-thanks...! I'll be sure to call in that favor if I need it. [ She gives a little nod, in greeting. ]

I'm Miku Hatsune.

[Kodachi can't help but feel a little victorious once Miku's tune changes. It's just like dealing with them in high school, only with considerably less paralysis powder. But she continues to smile sweetly.]

Very well, but do give me at least five hours prior notice if you would? That said, we are all in the same situation as yourself.

My only advice to you is to adapt to the situation before doing anything rash. Nothing productive will come to fruition before that. Also, avoid Astralfield at night, Miss Hatsune. Might I ask what your occupation was before you were brought here?

[Video]

[ohimesama]

[ WOW helpful lady! she's definitely more helpful than most of the other people miku's spoken to, so Miku gives her a smile in return. ]

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.

[ o--occupation?! miku smiles nervously for a moments. she.... hadn't actually had a job at home. quick, stretch the truth! ]

I--I was a singer.

[ online, anyway. ]

Re: [Video]

[never_go_back]

A.. Singer. Hmn..

[Kodachi raises her hand to her cheek and gives a thoughtful tap.]

I am afraid I have no knowledge of talent agencies here, but I feel a place like this could benefit from a pop idol or two.

[J-pop isn't really her thing, but many people do, to her knowledge.]

Consider making use of your vocal talents for a while. Now then; do you feel a little better?

[She'll consider what she'll get in return from Miku later.]
