Did I do this right...I think so...Ah! I got it!

Okay! So, I should find a way to keep myself busy that isn't training, right? So I can keep track of my progress and a general diary! It's better than sitting around staring at these geometric ceilings, anyway.

What should I talk about first... Roommates! I haven't met either yet, but hopefully I will soon. I did go crazy cleaning up the kitchen this morning, and tidying up the living room. I hope they're both okay and not people that are like...well, Dad won't approve of anyone probably. I would not be surprised if he wants to move into the same apartment sooner rather than later.

And before I forget: Dad is 606, Mr. Barnaby is 406.

Hm, what else... Oh! Kido is cool. She says her gang helps others with their abilities. [ She stops dictating to laugh at herself for a moment. ] "Hey Dad! I met this girl when I arrived the other day, and her gang can help me with my powers!! Cool, right?" No, more like he will have a heart attack if I mention the word "gang."

Speaking of abilities, I have to tell him I still have my NEXT powers, too. So that and I can generate ice! Which I haven't done yet. I put the boots on, but I was too hesitant to go and do it. [ A huff. ] Today I will! The lady said it would know when I need it, since it's..."sensiencer?" "Sentience?" [ There's a pause as her fingers fly across the keyboard. ] "Sentient." Got it.

Okay, I think that's enough for now.


[ video; ]

[ Anyone scrolling through the network will come across a video feed of this brunette preteen humming to herself as her eyes focus on the right side of the screen. After a moment, she sighs in frustration and rubs her face with both hands before speaking. ]

And I thought my teacher gave me a lot of homework. At least these people don't test us on all of this stuff.

......they don't, right? [ She huffs, muttering to herself. ] They better not. Anyway, is anyone else new to this world like I am?

[ Kaede looks up from the tablet at the new voice, and it takes her a moment to remember that she has roommates. Yes, that's right. This has to be one of them.

She sees the rifle and makes a note of that — hm, does that mean she's normal? Then again, maybe not...

She moves the tablet to the side to stand up, giving her a quick bow. ] Hello, and it looks like it. I'm Kaede, I just arrived here several days ago.

[worldswillburn]

[Kerrigan stares at her for a moment and nods. Seemed polite enough.]

Sarah Kerrigan, and same here.

[She took around the room itself. Livable enough, she figured.]

Is it just you and me?

[copia]

"Sarah Kerrigan" — that is a very pretty name.

No. [ She looks over at one of the doors. ] There is one more person, but I have yet to meet them.

[worldswillburn]

Been a while since I heard anything like that.

[Fortunately, Kerrigan was perfectly willing to spare Kaede the history involved with her name.]

So which room's mine?

[copia]

Should I call you "Ms. Sarah" or "Ms. Kerrigan?"

[ Kaede walks over to the hallway with the bedrooms, walking over to one of them. ] This one would be yours. They kept it simple for all the rooms — I guess they want us to customize it with our monthly allowance, if we so choose.

[worldswillburn]

You can drop the miss altogether. [she definitely wasn't for any of that.] "Kerrigan" will do, most people already call me that.

[And as far as her 'room' is concerned.]

Don't much care for interior decorating.

[copia]

[ A nod. ] "Kerrigan," okay!

The bathroom is here — each apartment shares one. [ She walks over towards it. ] Besides that and the living room and kitchen, that's about it for the apartment.

[worldswillburn]

Small, but it's efficient. [She was always one for practicality.]

So what's your story? [Kerrigan turns to look at here.] We're gonna be sharing this place. Anything I should be aware of?

[copia]

Ah... [ She leans against the wall and crosses her arms, thinking for a moment. ] Well, if you can't ever find me for some reason, my dad is here, so just ask for Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, or Barnaby, his partner. I also can copy someone else's powers, although I haven't seen yet whether or not it applies to people not from my world.

[worldswillburn]

Your dad is here? [And the other part of copying powers didn't make her feel any better all.]

Kid, do yourself a favor and don't make me your first attempt.

[copia]

Yes, he is.

[ Haaaaa yeah, she shakes her head at that. ] I wasn't looking to do so.

[worldswillburn]

Good.

[that was... pretty easy, she had to admit.]

Looks like we understand each other.

[copia]

[ She is very easy to deal with for the most part. ]

Mm! [ She nods. ] Besides this place, apparently the Initiative just lets us do whatever for the most part. It is mandatory that we train on two specific days though.

[worldswillburn]

They're giving their little solders an awful lot of leeway with they do with their time.

Could be a mistake.

[copia]

Mm, it might backfire on them some day.

[worldswillburn]

Could always be sooner than they think.

[especially if she has a hand in it.]

[copia]

[ Something like that makes Kaede raise an eyebrow slightly. ]

Is our situation something you're familiar with?

[worldswillburn]

I'm familiar with expecting the unexpected.

[copia]

That will definitely come in handy in this place. [ A huff. ] I would think they could give us warnings before crazy stuff happens, but I'm not holding my breath.

[worldswillburn]

Lower those expectations, kid, and you should be just fine.

[copia]

Will do. I was about to go head out to the market for some fruit. Is there anything you'd like me to bring back?

[worldswillburn]

[fruit shopping. how... mundane.]

Can't really think of anything myself.

[she wasn't really feeling too hungry just yet.]

[copia]

[ Hey, a growing girl's got to eat! Also, it is a way for her to kill some time and give Kerrigan some space to herself. ]

All right, well, feel free to leave a request in my inbox if you do! [ She grabs her jacket as she looks over. ] I already bought some food, so feel free to help yourself to it.

[worldswillburn]

... Thanks.

[As someone who's had it pretty rough, Kerrigan's not really used to being around someone so... not-terrible.]

[copia]

Not a problem. I'll see you in a bit! [ Umbrella in hand, she lifts her hand and flashes a smile as she leaves the apartment. ]
