Reisen was certainly glad she had the floor now!

"This might sound absurd, but I'm a moon rabbit. I fled to Earth during this legendary Lunar War, and my master, Eirin, along with her master, Kaguya, took me in after fleeing themselves. I live with them, and serve them in exchange for the hospitality. When I came along, your planet also seemed to be making strides in interstellar travel as well. I kept myself updated..

<Is... Do you disagree with this?>


Mm... When I am in doubt about such things, I generally just ask.

When I was a little girl, I was pretty much by myself. My parents were the richest people in the world. They were arms manufacturers. They had more money than they knew what to do with, and they tried their best to use it well. They dumped ungodly amounts of it all over the place. Not just in our home country. They gave it to my country's enemies, too. They didn't care for political rivalry or anything.

They got greedy before I was born. They wanted to give out more and more, so they had to get more and more to feed their little pet project. They were a bit blindsided when they found out my mother was pregnant with me, but they took it in stride. They went through with it and tried to balance their corporate lives with their family life. It didn't work out too well for them. When I was... about five, they couldn't do it anymore. They left the house and they went back to doing their corporate stuff all the time. They didn't raise me anymore, so they more or less drew a name out of a hat and hired a nanny for me.

She was a poor girl. She'd just turned nineteen. She didn't have anywhere to go at all. She had no prospects at all, then out of nowhere, the two richest people in the whole world give them a dream job. Shower her in money and all, too. That girl, Juillegar was her name, took the offer and came to my house and she raised me.

And it was only her that did it. My parents were protective, and when they were the ones raising me, they kept me in the house. I didn't go to school, I didn't play with other rich kids. I stayed right at home with them. It wasn't any different with Juillegar, my parents insisted on it. And so the two of us had our big mansion all to ourselves for years and years. God, she was... well, she was just perfect. She was kind, she was beautiful, she was smart, she was caring. It was wonderful. I was a scared, sheltered kid, but as the years dragged on, she brought me out of my shell. I got confident in myself and I became who I am now.

And after a bunch of... well, horrible things, it all ended. The world was wracked with war, and our home was invaded. Juillegar kept me safe throughout it all. We went from a massive, palatial tower to the underbelly of the city. We lived in the sewers for months, and we rode out the war together. By then, I was nineteen myself, and she was in her thirties. Things were strained between us, especially in the middle of it all. But we stuck by each other.

After it was over, my home was gone. Everyone was dead. The city was ruined. When we crawled out of the sewers, we saw these people come down from the sky. They might as well have been angels. They took care of the rest of the invaders, then looked for survivors. We were the first ones they found. And after a lot of long, awkward deliberation, the leader of those angels decided to give me the "gift" of godhood. That guy, well, he told me that gods don't consort with mortals, so Juillegar had to go.

The person I was closest to, the person I loved, the person who meant the world to me. She had to leave. And he wouldn't do it. He made me do it. He made me kick her away, and I was scared, so I did it. I kicked her out.

-Runs a hand through her hair-

I felt really terrible about it a few years after that. I went looking for something to fill the hole I'd made. And while I did that, I did some horrible, awful things. I did things that I can't... that I don't think I'll ever be able to say. I made myself a pariah. I had no one but the people I made stick around. It felt fake, because it was.

And I'm still looking now. I'm still looking right now, right this second, because I haven't found it. I haven't found someone to love me again. I haven't found that perfect place where someone'll sweep me off my feet and make me feel wanted again. Make me feel I'm fucking worth something, anything.

I've used a lot of stupid things to try and get that. None of them have gotten me anywhere, not entirely, but some of them looked promising. And I got confident and excited. I thought I'd made it.

Then one of them walked out on me, and I leaned on the other one I had. She wasn't ready for it, and she panicked, and I yelled at her and made her scared. I told her that I knew she was a liar, and now she doesn't want to be around me.

I've fucked it all up. Really, I have. It's all my fault, and I fucking know it. I dug this hole for myself, and look where it's gotten me. I'll break anything that looks promising because I'm scared.

-Isn't even close to crying; she just rattled that whole thing off utterly calmly-

It'd be kinda funny if it wasn't such a disaster.

-Adjusts her hat-

I'm not sure that's... a very good idea.

If you're certain about this, then it's fairly apparent that either you did do something hurtful or that she is being irrational about something minor.

(Nonchalantly eases himself into a chair.)

<That's—... That is some pointed language, I would say. It's not necessarily cowardice to be pragmatic about one's own safety and exercise prudence in all dealings.>

I'm gonna get going for the night. I'll see you all later!

"In fact.. I'll be right back." Scurrying out of the house, she searched for a way back to her place- maybe this was an illusion. If it was, she could just easily head back and forth between this place! But, for the time that she was here, she enjoyed the company of this Kris fellow.. she hoped to see him again.

-Kris watches Reisen leave, only realizing he forgot to mention something after she does so.-

"...I probably should have told her this place doesn't really connect to anywhere in the traditional sense. Fuck... Maybe she'll realize it while walking about? Um..."
