First Oversoul.

[illuminatings]

[ Hello, Digital World! It's been a while since you've seen this mop of blond hair with a serene looking smile on her face. In fact, there's two ghosts floating around her with one on her shoulder. She's in a red kimono with her hair done up in a very nice way with two swords strapped to her back. ]

--if I press this button, I should be okay?

Yup. It ain't physics, dork.

Well, I'll be.

Er, right. Please excuse that previous conversation. My partner was explaining this strange device to me and I'm not that great at technology just yet.

Anyway!

My name is Hikari-Asakura Hoshi, and it's a pleasure to meet every single one of you. If anyone from home is here, I'd be more than happy to meet up with you.

Now--

[ There's a big gust of wind picking up with Hoshi giving off a little shiver. ]

... well, then. If someone could come and get me out of this arctic area, that would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Well we've already established there's a lot you don't remember by now haven't we?

[illuminatings]

Exactly, but I think I'd remember my sister having another child around -- and no, that does not mean you get to mess with my memories, miss.

[badluckbabe]

You'd think wouldn't you? Then again I would have thought you'd have put all the pieces together. Instead you're just assuming that what I'm saying is untrue with no proof one way or the other.

You've been transported to a mysterious world full of amazing creatures and people who remember a version of you. Some people who had deep intimate relationships with that version. Then she left. Poof. Gone.

Now you come along, don't remember any of it, deny what information is being offered to you, and have the nerve to act offended by it?

[illuminatings]

I think you have it all wrong, miss. I'm not simply throwing these problems away because I don't want to deal with them. Instead, I'm trying my best here to understand what this version of myself has done previously, and therefore, piecing the parts together so that I know how to act around them. Misinformation in these regards will only complicate matters further, and I don't wish to cause more grief to those who clearly do not deserve it.

I do apologize if my actions are upsetting you and I wish to correct them, but please do know that I am trying and that's all I can do right now is try to understand where people are coming from, apologize where it's needed and promise that I will try my best to emulate this person they knew before.

Do you understand now?

[badluckbabe]

Ugh...you've gone from not understanding your D-comm into a robot.

[illuminatings]

... er, not exactly? This is just how I normally try to deal with situations like this -- words, not fists.

[badluckbabe]

A well spoken Hoshi. Hell must be frozen over.

[illuminatings]

Aha... I guess I was reckless here too, huh?

But, really! After fighting for something so long, you're going to want to relax after it.

[badluckbabe]

Or in the case of you and me, give up entirely and try to live with crappy hand you've been dealt.

Just be careful, whatever power you had at home it's weaker here. It's basically like starting over again. And if you get hurt because you're too weak it'll upset Hana.

[illuminatings]

One of the things I've learned over the course of the tournament was to never stop trying, even when it seems fruitless.

[ A pause as she nods, making sure to keep that in mind. ]

I have no intention of hurting my nephew here, I assure you. However, what would you say could bolster my powers?

[badluckbabe]

Bubbles, if I didn't give up then I'd STILL be trying to get you to love me which let's face it, you don't want. And these days? Nether do I.

The same thing as every world. Training. Practice. Experience.

[illuminatings]

There is a line between not doing anything and just being complacent, you realize...

That much I can do.

[badluckbabe]

I've been on both sides of the line with the you that isn't you. Trust me I am painfully aware.

I figured as much. But I don't trust for a minute you're not going to stay out of trouble. Older and more robotic you may be you're still Hoshi...sort of.

[illuminatings]

--oh, come on. The last time I did anything reckless was ages ago. I'm a changed woman!

Besides, I know what will comes after being so reckless anyway.

[badluckbabe]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[illuminatings]

Then I'll have to prove my worth.
