[Soft female voice. If she didn’t sound so amused, it’d be easy to tell she is incredibly pissed due to the current circumstances]

Do tell me, are you actually helping this world and its war? I am sure all of you are dying [she loves to use this word when addressing to humans] to go back to your little homes, however, it’s no where in the contract saying you’ll be returned once the war is over and won. It’s a promise, yes, but promises can be broken so easily, can they not?

Are we supposed to believe them? To trust them? [Demona doesn’t laugh, however she hums]

Hm~ tell me more about your war and the Witches.

[a_royal_flush]

Of course I'm helping! It doesn't matter to me if BREW will be able to return us in the end or not. We'll find that out at the end of the war, and if it doesn't, then we can all work together to try and find a way home.

[VOICE]

[travel_sized4u]

Geez, lady. Think ya got enough trust issues.

[Mushu sounds very amused.]

[VOICE]

[pmsgargoyle]

And you are far too naive.

[audio]

[pmsgargoyle]

How optimistic of you.

And do you have this same faith towards the guests that arrive?

[shendefeng]

[You sound... interesting. If only for your sounding obstinate, whomever you are, miss or madam. Temeraire will simply turn on his video feed, and speak in a clear, British accent:]

Actually, there have been a good number of people that have been taken back to their respective worlds, while a good number of us have not. It is not known why BREW decides to do so, but it does so at its own whim.

As for trust, it is better to do so for our collective survival, than to perish in this world in the hands of the witches and the Kishin eggs that seem to love to roam about all creation.

[dissenter]

Whether they intend to make good on their promise or not, it won't matter until after the conflict is solved. That's the way I see it, at least.

[he beams.] But even if our return is delayed, isn't the prospect of seeing a new world like this exciting enough to hold your attention, Miss?

[Audio]

[pmsgargoyle]

[Is that... a dragon? Weird. Demona doesn't sound surprised, though she has never seen one; but in her world, all sort of mystical creatures exist, so it's not amazingly new]

There isn't much control over BREW, is there? To use such an unreliable tool is quite reckless; after all, who knows who might show up? [for example, some crazy ass gargoyle who wants to kill all humans. Something like that would be pretty bad, right~?]

Still, this is a world wide war, correct? I assume all places are under attack, not just America, right?

[ audio ]

[pmsgargoyle]

This world isn't much different from mine.

Besides the weird looking moon and sun, however those aren't exciting at all. [they are actually pretty hideous]

[dissenter]

[i dunno man, they kind of look friendly don't they...?]

Oh? How unfortunate.

Me, I've never seen a world quite like this. [and he's seen many, many worlds.] Perhaps it's a blessing for you then, to be around the familiar -- the less time spent having to acclimate yourself, the more time you can devote to ending the war.

[le scrutiny.] Unless you've already made up your mind not to risk it?

[pmsgargoyle]

[Hideous i say]

It's not something to decide overnight. I've just arrived and the first thing they tell us is to fight a war for them. Only a fool would accept it without a second thought.

[Permavid]

[shendefeng]

One does not simply attempt to control BREW, miss or madam; I think more so because it seems to have a mind of its own. It takes whomever it pleases, and brings them here.

As for who knows whom might appear in this world, I quite agree. I would never have thought that a being such as myself would have been of any use to that contraption, yet here I am.

Yes, this is indeed a war that affects the entire world. The last mission I had was in Europe, as well as other attacks in Central and South America, as well as in Asia.

[He only knows about that because he's seen the mission boards. Otherwise...]

[dissenter]

It is, of course, your prerogative. But I find that my faith in people's goodwill usually pays off. [i mean have you seen their residences? they've got machines for everything! it's great!]

Is it their motives for the war that give you pause? Or just the idea that they might not send us back home after we're through helping?

[permaaudio]

[pmsgargoyle]

That only supports my opinion. Why to use such thing when there is no way to control it?

So there is world-wide cooperation between the countries. [that's unfortunate.] Are there others places like this city?

[shendefeng]

[He gives her a nod]

There are Shibusen facilities in other countries that do work like our own city, only that theirs are for their own respective countries, and we cooperate with them if there is a significant need between one and the other.

They are quite organized in that manner, which is quite a good thing if they mean to win this war.

As for why, who knows? I do not know the exact reason as to why it was used in particular, but it was used. What has happened is done, and we cannot do anything but do our best to survive in this world in which we have been brought.

[snatching]

I dunno if I trust 'em, but I don't think they got much to gain by keepin' all of us around, givin' us free food and board and gadgets. Especially if the war gets done and they ain't gettin' any work out of us.

[VOICE]

[travel_sized4u]

Ha, yeah right sister.

I ain't heard your voice before. BREW pullin' losers in here again?

[voice]

[poisonwords]

Tell me that you are being sarcastic with that ass-backwards logic.

[That voice? Yeah, he thinks that she's an idiot.]

[video]

[tuned_wrong]

Well, well, I don't know~ Some help and some choose not to, just as some wish to return while others would prefer not to. And as you said there is no guarantee that it will ever happen.

[He sounds amused, but his voice carries a serious edge.]

However, wouldn't it be best if you went and made your own picture of what you desire to judge?

[pmsgargoyle]

I have no involvement in this war. Rather than expecting ulterior motives or not trusting them, I do not have a reason to get myself involved with it.

[VOICE]

[pmsgargoyle]

[oh my god. she wants to kill you.

Keep calm, Demona. You can shut him up later on]

It seems to me they were already here to begin with. [talking about you]

[voice]

[pmsgargoyle]

I don't really have to tell you anything.

[voice]

[pmsgargoyle]

I do have to meet the people I will be [planning to kill] living and dealing with, don't I? It's part of making my own picture.

voice;

[pmsgargoyle]

Nothing is for free. They expect us to fight this war for them, feeding and keeping us isn't that strange when you have that objective in mind, I suppose.

[pmsgargoyle]

Do other facilities have this BREW tool as well and if so, are they using it?

[dissenter]

Fair enough! Maybe in time you'll find a reason to fight-- [aaaand a wry smile] --or maybe the rest of us will find a reason to stop. In the event the latter happens, do feel free to tell me you "told me so."

Thankfully, it seems the city has no lack of diversions to keep you otherwise occupied, Miss-- aah, I don't believe I caught your name.
