[Anri's been laying low since her last unintentional broadcast but there's only so long she can avoid having to integrate with what is her new everyday life. And since one of the two people she knows can no longer be found, she figures it won't hurt to have more people to turn to.

Rely on. But she knows what she has to sacrifice to ensure people don't figure that out.

Though this feed is intentional, it's clear from the way she can't quite face the camera that she's still not entirely comfortable in speaking out at all. But given the turmoil the city's in right now, there's only so much she can do alone - even if stray thought has given her a clue that there's a side of her not quite as departed as she first thought]

Ah...I'm sorry to trouble everyone at such a time. I know you all have a lot to focus on but Okabe-san doesn't seem to be around right now and there are some things I need to ask.

First of all...money. I've been doing okay so far but what I get from Shibusen isn't enough when so many places won't take it. And I'm not sure they'd be any more willing to take me on either. Not that I'm sure what I could do, exactly, but if anyone has any ideas, I'll listen.

Secondly, I think I found what I can do...I think I found why I'm a Weapon. But...it's complicated. I understand, but I'm also worried about what it means...if there's anyone I could talk to about this, I'd be grateful. If there's something you want of me to make up for taking your time, I'll find a way.

[Even if it means having to fight. If it's enough to appease her worries about what she's become, it'll be worth it.]

iif iis power had iin your world you almost certaiinly lost iit
though your weapon abiiliity miight be related

need to giive you context before answer

was psychiic battery for spaceshiip
iisnt a volunteer posiitiion

dont feel sorry

weapon form iis paiir of fliight goggles wore then
giiven to self by someone prefer not to thiink about

It's not a power. Not exactly. But that's sort of what I'm afraid of.

That sounds terrible. Could they change your form if you asked?

[Probably not but it's worth the question. But that's the limit of the pity she'll offer. She can understand why he doesn't want it, in a way]

dont thiink shiibusen has anythiing to do wiith what powers end up wiith

but no ones goiing to =make= you use them

But isn't that what we were brought here for?

yes
but have choiice
best friiend chooses not to fiight
as for self took long tiime to make deciisiion

I see. So it's okay if I just want to be left alone?

[Not that she's decided for definite yet but it seems the better option to her. She likes when she's mostly invisible]

yes iis 0k

am very curiious about what you wiished to lose
but wiill understand iif you dont want to talk about iit

No it's okay. It's probably better that people know.

[After all, not telling people didn't turn out too well last time and while she might not want to tell everyone, hearing a little of this person's background leaves her a little more willing]

When I was younger, I came into possession of a demon blade. Or rather, she came into possession of me, but because I cannot feel what she craves, I could control her. When I couldn't hear her once I got here, I thought perhaps she was gone but I don't think it's that simple.

iisnt giiven that your weapon powers are related to her
but iif they are
am sure you wiill stiill be able to control

brew seems to have fondness for iirony
but not to poiint of makiing abiiliitiies iimpossiible to use

You really think so? I guess since I can't hear her normally that would make sense.

[But she's still in no hurry to try]

really thiink so

have forgotten to iintroduce self agaiin
am called psii

Oh! Right! Ah, my name is Anri Sonohara...it's nice to meet you Psii-san.

iits niice to meet you too anrii

why do some people add ''san'' to names??

It's part of Japanese culture. We use honorifics as an indication of our position in relation to the person we're addressing. I only just met you, so you are Psii-san.

[Of course, even with the strange typing and the whole psychic battery for a spaceship thing, she's not quite twigged that he might not know about Earth. When your home city is also home to a Dullahan, weird is relative]

japan iis earth country
correct??

what does iit convey about relatiive posiitiions??

Yes...you're not from Earth?

[That's new even for her, not that she much cares]

Well, "san" is used for people who don't know each other well, assuming they aren't in a position where another term would be used, or who are generally equals. Like...if you were a teacher or another authority figure, you would be Psii-sensei instead.

am a troll
come from planet called alterniia
though has been hundreds of human years siince have seen home

am defiiniitely not authoriity fiigure

should call you anrii-san then??

Oh. Perhaps...if you ever wanted to tell me about it sometime, I'd listen.

[Because it doesn't seem the sort of conversation to have here but she's definitely intrigued]

You don't have to if you don't want to. If you were Japanese then that would be right but don't feel you have to match what I do. You're not from Japan so it's fine.

would be happy to
stiill fiind many thiings about human culture confusiing

Honestly, sometimes so do I. But if I can help with any of that, I'll try.
