[A young woman appears on the screen rather distraught. The girl has a golden tiara on her head, and the feed quickly moves to show blue, purple and black wings on her hips as she’s trying her best to maneuver the device. She kind of got a decent grasp of it, but there are still some difficulties since she’s not familiar with this level of technology.

It seems there’s a left over from your curse! Seeing that the crowds of the streets had greatly lessened in numbers, she thought she would be leaving soon as well, but instead has found herself still here. Being polite, she asks the device:]

Would anyone ever so kindly tell me why I have not been returned to my home world? Could it be that the effects are lasting a bit longer on myself and that I should be returning to my realm soon? If not, then it may very well be that this realm is one King Odin can freely enter and leave, much like the Netherworld.

[A true definition of exile, though she should be grateful she wasn’t placed in the Netherworld.]

[Sometimes she speaks that way, sometimes she doesn't. It goes in and out depending on her mood.]

While I thank you for your offer, I believe I shall be fine on my own.

[And no, she doesn't have a place to stay, but she doesn't want to be indebted to a man. Maybe he is kind, however she is still is playing it safe for now.]

[ But Sheena wants to be certain that she's certain. ]

Are you sure? I've been here for a long time. If there's anything you wanna know, I can help.

If you could tell me where the living quarters are, I... would appreciate that.

[Okay, she can't be rude and simply ignore someone who's willing to help. It kind of pains her to ask, but this is something as simple as asking for directions. No need for anything more.]

[ Right! Nothing wrong with that at all. ]

You seen the tall buildings, right? The ones that surround the carousel - those are some. But as far as I know, you've got to pay for any of those.

[ Which isn't a lie. If there was any a place with free lodging, Sheena hadn't heard of it...

But then, he remembers something, though he doesn't think it'll apply to her- ] Oh yeah, but if you're so young, I hear they'll sort that out for ya.

To pay? So in order to live in this realm I must find a way to support myself financially. Do you know if anyone is looking for a soldier for hire, or a facility that needs someone to fight for them?

[Because sitting around all day doing nothing will bother her. She needs to fight, needs to keep her skills up because who knows when she will need to be on the battlefield once more.]

As for my age, I believe that will not be a problem. It is something I can take care of myself.

Someone to fight? [ Uhh, that was a question. ] Not in this place. Other than crazy days with the curses, there's not much need to fight around here.

[ Which Sheena prefers himself. ] So you don't need to worry. You can relax here, 'slong as you keep an ear on the device.

I...

[She doesn't know how to relax. Sitting some place, lazing around idly is a sign that her pride and honor are gone!]

Is there not an arena here? Simply a place so I can keep myself busy?

You really like fighting that much?

[ Well, it wouldn't be exactly new to Sheena, but she looks more cute than compared to Valeria... but, well, there's Kasumi, too, but even then... ]

I would not say that I like it, rather that it is my very lifestyle. I cannot comprehend a life in which my skills as a Valkyrie are no longer needed.

[Basically, once she's deemed useless as a Valkyrie, she's stripped of her wings, spear, shield, pride and honor. It's the worst possible fate, or so she thinks. In a way, she'd rather die.]

Y-yeah? [ He doesn't really get it, buut- ] I dunno about an arena, but there's some guys here who like to practice, I guess... I think I heard about a dojo.

As long as they would be willing to let me practice with them, that should be enough.

[Maybe she will have to ask someone else on this matter. This is getting her nowhere.]
