accidental video/action;

[beyourarmy]

[A loud thud is the first thing recorded. Setsuna is sprawled on the ground. He sits up. Blood seeps from his wing, his hand over the wound.]

What the hell was that for? You're such idiots! [He yells to people off screen.]

Now you have a problem with our powers? There's nothing wrong with them. I'm not hurting anyone by flying! This is how I help people! How I do my job! [The wound is already healing. Hopefully they won't protest to that power, seeing as he can't control it.] You'll shoot me out of the sky for that?

Really? If anything, I think that makes me look more plain! Heh heh.

How long have you been here, Setsuna-kun?

[beyourarmy]

Maybe, but you'll still stand out.

A little over a year. You still kinda new?

[paving]

Oh, yeah. I just arrived a few days ago.

[He's pretty calm for a new arrival, and pretty accepting that he's one of the few with no powers, yep.]

[beyourarmy]

[Setsuna can be oblivious, but he wasn't the only one pissy when he found himself trapped here.] ... You don't mind being brought to a place like this?

[paving]

I do mind, but there's nothing we can do about it except to keep on moving forward, right? We can't lose hope over something like this.

Besides, where I came from wasn't any better, really.

[beyourarmy]

Yeah, but you can still keep hope and be pissed off about it.

What kind of place did you come from?

[paving]

That's right. Righteous anger can keep hope burning. I guess I'm just not that kind of guy, though.

Well, are you sure you're okay with hearing it? It's a pretty weird story . . .

[beyourarmy]

Not everyone is.... I'm just not used to people being so calm about the whole thing.

I wouldn't ask if I wasn't okay with it. I'm actually really curious, now.

1/2

[paving]

Well, I came from Jabberwock Island. We were taken there on the first day of school on a field trip. At first, we were supposed to make friends and gather "hope shards", but that quickly went wrong . . .

2/2

[paving]

Our headmaster arrived and told us that it was a "field trip of mutual killing", and we were stranded on that island. The only way to get out is to murder someone and not get caught.

[beyourarmy]

That...doesn't sound normal at all.

What kind of school did you go to for that to be considered an appropriate field trip?

[paving]

It isn't. It wasn't appropriate at all, and everyone was upset.

Well, I was bothered too, but I decided that there's no point in being crippled by fear and despair, so I decided to just keep on moving to find a way out.

Now here I am.

[beyourarmy]

At least you're bothered by something, I guess. You didn't get attacked while you were looking?

[paving]

I did, but I survived.

[But of course, his survival meant that there was a price to be paid.]

[beyourarmy]

[Not so normal after all. Even if he is human.]

You did, huh? So I guess you took down a person or two? You might be pretty dangerous for someone without powers.

[paving]

No, I didn't. I just got lucky.

[He's not telling the whole story, but you're right, Setsuna.]

[beyourarmy]

[Is that a look of doubt for a second? Yeah, yeah it is.]

Lucky, huh? That must be some luck....

Think your luck will help you out here in the City?

[paving]

I hope so! It's lousy compared to everyone else's exceptional talent, but I do have good luck on my side.

[beyourarmy]

I don't know about that.

Sometimes luck can really change things around.

[paving]

Oh, yeah. I totally agree on that one.

[beyourarmy]

Then I hope your good luck sticks with you here. Some people need it.

[paving]

Thanks, Setsuna-kun. I wish you good luck too.

[beyourarmy]

Thanks. But I hope I won't need it.
