001 ⋆ volunteering medic.

[ The video turns on to a smiling girl in a kimono. ]

Hello! I'm Chizuru Yukimura. [ The girl bows her upper form entirely, able to do so as her SFC is propped on top of her table. ] I've been in Vatheon for about two weeks. [ A slight pause as she smiles sheepishly. ] I kind of had trouble with this device, but I think I've finally got it figured out!

[ Chizuru's been busy, exploring the city and getting her own home and figuring out things. Really, she's kind of proud of herself. Yes, it was alarming when she first arrived, but.. she's adapted and learned quickly. ]

I'm wondering if there's anywhere I can volunteer as a medic? I have experience with general doctoring and being a battlefield medic. ..I want to learn way more about healing and helping others. I can also run messages and do tasks like that. [ Now that Chizuru's "settled down," she's eager to start helping out. ] I do know self-defense, so I can protect myself if I have to.

Thank you. [ She bows to the device again, and then the feed ends. ]

[Kanaya notes a little confusion there, and prepares herself. She has a lot to explain. Luckily, Chizuru is talking to one of the most precise and thorough trolls. She might go on for a bit, but she'll try to stop for air. She has a friend that has a habit of doing this sort of thing all at once, and she knows better than to bombard someone like that. ]

Well, that's not quite what I was getting at, but by a coincidence, yes. If you die here in Vatheon you will appear god as new in the plaza within five days. Sometimes people have died and been returned to their home world as if nothing happened. Some of those in turn are brought back. It's somewhat complicated.

But I was talking about something different. Twelve members of my race, including myself, were drawn into a game of sorts that was manipulated by a god-like entity. Within this game, we were given powers, and a second chance at life after death. The trolls here are all either a member of the group that entered that game, members of another group of twelve that did the same, or they are tied to us in some way. My point is, the trolls that you see here aren't normal representatives of our race in some respects. Some, like myself, more so than others. I died twice, and the second time I came back was not through the means of the game, but something else entirely.

[Plenty of non-humans in these parts, miss. Aliens, cartoons, anthropomorphic animals, and more than few demons. Even combination non-humans, like Kanaya here, who's basically an alien vampire. You're in good company.]

I see. [ So.. Chizuru thinks for a moment as she absorbs this. ] So death in Vatheon is not permanent, and the trolls here are special. Would you think that most people who come to Vatheon are special in some regard..? [ That would make sense, wouldn't it? Why bring people to your world if there's not something special about them? ]

It certainly seems that way. Also, people from the same world tend to have some sort of connection, with the trolls as an obvious example. There are some people who seem to be normal for their point of origin, but the truth is that people can be brought here from any point in time. Just because they think they're normal now doesn't mean that they aren't going to become significantly special in their own regard later. There's a five year old girl, for example. A normal human by all accounts, but who knows what she would be back on her home planet, given the rest of her life?

A five year old girl? [ Chizuru frowns. Why would they bring someone like that..? ] ..Thank you for all of the information, Mss Maryam. It's. been.. hard to adjust. Anything I can learn, the better.

[ She bows her upper form again. ] I'm going to go check out that clinic now. Don't worry, I'll be careful! I won't forget your warning.

I understand the difficulty. It was a pleasure speaking with you, miss Yukimura.
