Whoa, this thing is weird, but I guess I'll give it a shot.

[Rin brushes back some of her hair in an attempt to look presentable to those who could see her. Although, she was unsure about the trinket in her hand, she tries her best to attempt to communicate to those who were here. Maybe she would see the people that she met along the way? Either way, right now, she's settled nicely in one of the inn rooms, with her usual, friendly smile.]

Hi all! My name is Rin. I'll keep this short -- but if you guys are interested in a sparring partner, let me know! I probably shouldn't spill my secrets so openly, but I work for a rebel group back home and used to train people during the war. I have experience with training, so if you need that, I'm open to it! As for sparring; I use my katana. There's some lightning magic that I use with my katana, but to keep the fight fair, I can, you know, not use that.

If anyone is interested, please get back to me!

[There's a pause, and a friendly hum.]

Oh yeah, if you want a meal, feel free to stop by my room at the inn.

Hmm... So no monsters in your world, huh? Must be the people then.

[Pretty similar to her world, actually.]

It's, ah... Some woman, actually. She wants more power, so she's been killing our species in order to gain more power. I think I figured out a way to stop her, but it needs to be tinkered a bit.

[meiren]

[ He can't help but give a dryly amused snort at that. ]

Everyone always wants more power. I don't know why. Sounds like a lot of work.

[maiestas]

I agree! I'm not entirely sure what her deal is -- especially with killing everyone! I can't relate to what she wants, to be honest with you, but she has to be stopped.

[She isn't much of a hero, nor does she want to be, but god forbid this woman keeps on with her conquest.]

Buuttt that's for me when I go home! If I ever get to go home, anyway... Who knows how long I'll be here for. Actually, my charge is related to this woman.

[meiren]

[ Killing everyone sounds like a bad plan if you're planning on having anyone left to rule, but far be it from Zhou Zishu to critique the machinations of a ruler. Not one he doesn't know, at least.

Besides, the last bit is much more interesting. ]

Oh?

[ It's a gentle sort of invitation to continue, even if Zhou Zishu thinks he can see the shape of where this is going. Never hurts to have clarification. ]

[maiestas]

[Listen, she doesn't get it either. It just doesn't make sense to her, and she doesn't want to make sense of it, to be completely honest.]

High treason against (1) Demetria "Nyx" Xydis. I've never heard of such nonsense, to be completely honest with you. She's the one killing people, while we're out here defending the civilians from her.

It's weird that these people agree with her, but what can you do, you know?

[She wants to tear up the parchment paper, but it's indestructible.]

[meiren]

Acting against a ruler is treason whether they deserve it or not.

[ He sounds very sure of himself. A second later, he offers why: ] I may have something similar.

[ Gotta offer some information sometimes. Honestly he doesn't even need to keep it secret, it's just second nature to never give too much away. ]

[maiestas]

They're not a ruler, which is a funny thing. She just acts like she is, and everyone accepts it! Oh well, there's not much I can do about it now.

[Oh good... Solidarity. She feels better about that to be honest.]

Oh? Good to know I'm not alone with the treason charge. What kind of ruler did you get stuck with at home?

[meiren]

[ There's a brief pause and then an amused-sounding hum. ]

He'll be a decent enough emperor someday. But he needed to be reminded that his ambitions have consequences.
