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?

[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. ]
