[video; filtered away from Falcon] I'M LOOKING FOR SOME BALLS...

[icequeen_aran]

[Normally Samus would be inclined to secrecy and mystery through either text or audio-only messages to the school's network; bounty hunter habits were hard to break and usually for good reason. However, this time she deemed it important to showcase her normalcy for what she was about to request, dry and unamused in delivery as usual;]

If I could get a headcount of who has and hasn't been afflicted with the latest outbreak of whatever strange and wonderful circumstance has befallen the school this week, I would be appreciative. I know it's probably been rough for a lot of you so far... but things like this in the past have never been permanent.

[I dearly hope that remains the case.]

Also...

[Samus squirms a little in her chair, uncomfortable. Been rough was putting it lightly... She has purposefully angled the camera so she and her cleavage the floor occupies the majority of the screen, though some of the background is viewable. Most of it is unassuming brick wall with scattered pieces of highly advanced, almost-alien looking technology along the periphery of the video. A sharp eye could determine she was not currently anywhere at the school.

...And that there was, very unknown to her, a golden feather lodged in her hair, easy to miss among her blonde strands.]

I'm-- [ASKING FOR HELP IS SO HARD] I need information on Pokecare. Of a Blaziken, specifically. And how Pokeballs work in the event of an emergency.

Really? Are you?!

[Pixies in the peanut gallery really want to know.]

[icequeen_aran]

[Are you a space pirate? Then yes. She wants to say. She wouldn't put it past a Space Pirate to hire Pixies from the peanut gallery.]

No.

[worldrestored]

That's too bad! I guess we can't ALL be perfect.

[So rude...maybe that guy will get back from the bathroom soon.]

I was hoping there were more demons around here. It's just Hitoshura and the rest of us with him. Granted he's only a half-demon, but he totally counts as one as far as I'm concerned!

[Well at least she's giving out more information than he is.]

[icequeen_aran]

[She'll milk said information for all it's worth.]

So you could count these demons off the top of your hand, huh? That's hardly impressive.

[worldrestored]

[She puffs up a bit, you just hit a nerve! Then in a small, low voice.]

It doesn't matter if there's only a few of us here, that's more than enough to take on all of you! We come from a world where only the strong survive.

[Demons are easily agitated. The door is opening behind her...]

[icequeen_aran]

It's not an uncommon sentiment in any world.

[worldrestored]

[She rolls her eyes, just as Naoki gets the most worried look on his face. Obviously he's expecting the worst of things, and she just continues to babble on, unknowing that he's sneaking up.]

Nuh-uh! Lots of worlds care for the weaker, just like his world! In fact when the world ended and he worked to restore it he picked-

[And with a rather violent push, he stops her before she can say more and slams his hand on the camera to stop the feed, very probably breaking said camerain the process.

The feed is now dead. And then a few seconds later...]

what did she tell u

[icequeen_aran]

[Interesting lad, for what little she is able to gleam from that. Now the hard part; lying or only half lying to him.]

That I look like Lucifer, apparently.

[worldrestored]

[It takes a minute before there is text again.]

From what I saw of u that's pretty true. Only i never saw him take on a female form. Also plz don't tell others whatever else she told you.

[icequeen_aran]

Are you really all demons?

[worldrestored]

Y.

I'm half-demon. Lucifer did this 2 me so I could survive the Vortex World.

[Being turned into a half-something to give a chance to survive and grow GEE where did Samus hear about something like that before.]

[icequeen_aran]

[NOT AT ALL STRIKING A CHORD OF FAMILIARITY...]

An alternate universe not of your own?
