Ah, I can't help feeling that things are a little quiet around here right, now. I know I should probably feel glad considering the alternative, but I guess I find it all too easy to become bored.

I've heard the news that there may be a serial killer in our midst, but it's hard to feel concern for something when it's at a remove from you, right? It's a big city after all, and it's easy to put your mind to rest and think that such a thing will never happen to you. Only, perhaps the people who were killed used to think exactly the same thing? I wonder.

Anyway! Perhaps it's better to concentrate on something a little less morbid. And since I said I was bored...maybe some of you can tell me what you like to do for fun around here? Is there anything you particularly like about Death City? Or even things you really dislike? Give me some ideas ☆

Someone, somewhere, may be in need of an accountant. Don't be so disheartened! I'm sure something will turn up.

That is probably the best thing to assume. How was yours like?

I don't doubt it. Yet at the same time I'm certain there are many people native to here who are quite capable accountants. They hardly needed to drag me here from an alternate universe for that. I suppose all I mean is, I don't see how my own skill set would be valuable in the war.

Hard to explain, I suppose. A lot less exotic than many of the places people here seem to have some from. The vast majority of humans had no special powers to speak of, and intelligent life outside of humanity was a rarity at best. All fairly dull, I guess.

[Which isn't entirely true, not what he really believes, but most of what he says isn't entirely truthful even at the best of times]

Perhaps not in the war, hm. But I've never heard of cities having too many accountants. If anything, I'm quite sure you will find use to your skills in other places--such as perhaps in businesses?

You mean there are people here who have special powers? As in those comics boys like to read so much?

I'm sure I'll find a use for them. Though it does leave me to wonder why BREW decided to bring me here in the first place.

Based on what I've heard, yes, some people are claiming they had skills like those before arriving here.

Then most likely there is something only you can accomplish. With a little bit of patience the opportunity might turn up sooner or later, for you to prove your worth. [she believes this]

Though... it makes sense to feel a bit worthless with people like those here as well.

Uhm, you wouldn't mind me asking your name? Mine is Mitsuba.

I suppose I'll have to keep looking, then. Perhaps BREW's purpose in bringing me here will be made clear eventually.

It's a pleasure to speak with you, Mitsuba-kun. You can call me K-chan.

[tabasco]

That's the spirit, K-chan! I believe optimism goes a long way, specially in a place like this one.

Ah, then I suppose it's just as well I have optimism in abundance. I've always considered myself to be a positive person.
