[The feed turns on to a serious young man as he examined the tablet in front of him, though that scrutinizing look quickly disappeared when he noticed that the video feed has turned on, in fact looking quite impressed at the device's speed before speaking.]

I don't know if this could be seen by everyone, but it's worth a shot.

[There's a short pause before the male continued.]

How many of you here received a weapon that's out of the norm upon your arrival, and can someone point me out to someone who is experienced with that type of training?

[Before he introduced himself, as per the usual protocols.]

My name is Athrun Zala, it appears I'm as much help as a beginner when it comes to information right now, so any more in addition to the Initiative's words would be welcome.

Athrun, be serious! [Chastising to hide her embarrassment? You bet!]

[The smile still hangs as he dropped the jokes, but at the very least she can tell he's back to his serious front as he continued to speak while the feed was set to be filtered.]

I've talked with the others, and I've found that there are some that's not really supporting of who we're working with.

[feisty]

Eh? What do you mean? [She looks confused now, as well as slightly concerned.]

[selfdestructed]

...They're not getting along with each other, at least, that's the gist of it for now.

[And that's putting it mildly.]

[feisty]

What do you expect with this? Their dumb machine doesn't control who it brings in, right?

video/private;

[selfdestructed]

Not really, but if the relationship continues to be this rocky, there might be a chance for a civil war to erupt between all of us.

[Keyword being 'might'.]

[feisty]

I think you're reaching right now. We're all stuck here, right? I'm pretty sure no one's going to be stupid enough to aggravate the situation.

[a_million_blossoms]

Zanpakutou are sentient weapons to start with.

[galactically]

Ah, well...

[Sheryl lets out a soft chuckle from her lips, looking a bit serene.]

My songs have affected the Vajra before, though I don't think I've seen any around here.

[ She passes the first room with its door closed - hers - and instead toes the door of the second room; it's clean and empty of any personal belongings. Kinda like a hotel. ]

Think this one's yours.

[chargethesebatteries]

[She looks a bit surprised.]

Actually, that sounds a lot like my cruiser. It doesn't really have much firepower, mostly because my marines and I prefer to keep our guns on us rather than our transportation, but if you want, I can take a look at it. Maybe I can give you a few pointers.

[She did pick up on that tone in his voice, but she's not the nosy type, really. If he wants to elaborate she'll allow it, but she's not going to pester.]

"More like strappin a rocket to your back, never seen one of them actually hover. Crash sure, but hover no."

[kindking]

No, I'm sorry.

I wish there was something more I could do to help.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of weapon did you receive earlier?

video/private;

[selfdestructed]

[There's just a stare for him at that.]

Hopefully that's the case. But there's nothing wrong with being prepared too, is there?

video/private;

[feisty]

No, but that's still extreme. We should be working together, not fighting against each other.

video/private;

[selfdestructed]

I know.

[Which makes it all the harder for him, to be honest.]

voice

[selfdestructed]

Hm? It's a remote weapon platform, to put it simply.

[Complicated version: It's a mini version of his mech's flight pack.]

[feisty]

[She's silent for a moment before trying to lighten the conversation.]

Hey, have you met your roommates?

[selfdestructed]

...Sentient weapons...

[...There's a small silence from him as he pondered upon this.]

I have to admit that's still a new concept to me.

[video]

[selfdestructed]

['Vajra', an unfamiliar term to him, but she's probably referring to something of an inhuman origin; well, judging from the context.]

I'm guessing they don't traverse the worlds?

action;

[selfdestructed]

Thanks.

[Well, at the very least it looked as inhabitable as your usual military beds.

Which is a plus, he guesses.]

Anything else I need to know about our living arrangements?

[video]

[selfdestructed]

...That would be appreciated.

[There's a nod from him, and a hint of gratefulness as well; At the very least he's polite about these kind of things.]

[selfdestructed]

"I see."

While that does sound like something that might've come from his world, there's nothing that sounded that risky back home when it comes to movement tools.

"Must be a pretty rough build, I'd say."

video/private;

[selfdestructed]

One of them, at the very least.

[And at least she didn't point a weapon at his general direction.]

You?

voice

[kindking]

Even if you say that it doesn't sound simple at all.

[Shu gives out a long suffering sigh.]
