Okay, you guys, you can come out now! This so totally isn't even funny! No, seriously, it's about as funny as the time you put me on the porch. I get it, I'm a heavy sleeper, but if you want me to wake up, then like, just wake me up!

Ugh, geez, what I even wearing? Seriously, this is- Oooh, this is actually kind of cute. Oh, oooh, my clothes! They're right here!

...Oh, no way! They cut holes in the back?! This is my favorite shirt, too! And they didn't even leave me a coat. It's like, totally FREEZING! It's SNOWING! THEY DUMPED ME OUT IN THE SNOW!

_{[She lets out an exasperated sigh.]}

Geez, where am I anyway? It wasn't even snowing earlier, was it? Is there even a forest anywhere near our neighborhood!? Ow! Ow, OW! My back...! What did those guys do?!

_{[She's silent for a few moments.]}

Omigosh. Omigosh are these wings? Why do I have wings? I have wings!

I have wings.

Omigosh, I'M DEAD! WHY AM I DEAD!?

_{[Anyone who is around the area may see a teenage girl tromping about in the snow, talking to herself and completely flipping her lid.]}

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Pfffft. Yeah, right! They're probably glued on with that funky costume junk, right? They'll come off, like, super easy!

_{[She reaches back the best she can and give one of the wings a hard tug.]}

OW! What the...

_{[She tries it again, just to make sure.]}

OUCH! Ouch owwww...! Wh-

Omigosh. They're real. They're...THEY'RE REALLY REAL?!

Oh, no!! P-Please don't pull on them like that! They're very delicate - losing even a single feather will cause harm.

[There's a sort of awkward sigh as Nodoka moves to make sure Pilouette doesn't try tugging on the wings again.]

Yes, they're very real. Uhm, don't try flying with them or anything like that, okay?

_{[Upon being told how fragile they are, Pilouette is quick to let go of them, not at all eager to see just what kind of harm could come from damaging them.]}

I don't think I could fly with them even if I wanted to.

But still...wings!

_{[She's still pretty baffled by the whole thing.]}

Ah, well yes, the wings are very beautiful really, even if it is a little awkward getting used to sleeping with them, o-or fitting them under your clothing,

[She turns a little to show how she has her own wings kept underneath the white clothing she's wearing.]

Now what... [Thinking to herself now. How do most people handle meeting new feathers? Hmm.] Would you like me to show you to the welcome center, miss? Or perhaps I can tell you a little more about this place? I-I'll be happy to answer any questions you have.

Sure, um, I guess? I mean, if there's anything else I really need to know, I'd like to hear it.

Alright then... Uhm, sorry if I'm not being very welcoming. This is my first time greeting a New Feather you see.

[Now where to start?] Well you, me and everyone else who lives in the village are trapped here, by the Malnosso I believe. All of us are forced to take part in experiments and are drafted to fight against the Third Party, th-though I've only read about them and haven't been drafted myself yet.

Oh, um, no! If it's your first time doing something like this, like, don't worry abo-

...I'm sorry, did you say "forced the take part in experiments?"

And...And drafted?!

_{[She's just going to stare, horrified for a minute.]}

Sadly, y-yes. And the experiments can range from harmless to... Life threatening. [...] Ah, but even if they're dangerous the Malnosso would never let us die! The moon fell on the village last month and we're all still here. ...N-Not that we can die properly anyway.

[Nodding slowly. Oooh, why can't she give a little good news?] From what I've read, drafts are even more dangerous than experiments... But, uhm, I can't really tell you much more about them having not experienced a draft myself. Sorry...

L...Life threatening...

_{[She turns just a little paler.]}

I guess if you've never experienced a draft then it can't be helped...M-Maybe if I'm lucky, I won't either, so it won't matter! I mean, me, fighting? Like, as if, right?!

_{[She forces a laugh because oh, geez, she can barely deal with this as it is. Thinking about having to participate in any kind of combat? She can barely survive gym class.]}

Oh! I-I guess I should say thanks for all your help so far, um...oh, golly, I don't think I caught your name. I'm Pilouette.

Oh yes, I'm sure you'll definitely be lucky and avoid ever being drafted like that! I-I don't see how some of the people here would cope with such a thing. Aah...

[Giving a nervous laugh of her own. Hahaha, mentioning stuff like this is such a great way to meet new people. Ahaah... Haah.]

No thanks necessary, I'm just glad to be of help. It's very nice to meet you Pilouette-san. I'm Nodoka. [Bowing a little in greeting.]

_{[She does her best to give a little smile.]}

I'm at least glad I met someone nice here!

I guess I'll just have to get used to this place if I'm stuck here, huh...?

Oh, hehe, I'm sure you'll meet many more nice people here. A-After all, I myself have met lots of kind and generous people.

[Nodoka will smile back, bringing a hand up to slightly rub the back of her head.]

I guess so. Even though you're stuck here it shouldn't take long to adjust. E-Everything is free, so if you need anything to eat or new furniture, feel free to take it.

Good to know.

...Everything is free? ...Really? Like, I'm not going to be hunted down by goons later and have my knees busted because I can't pay up, right?

_{[Someone watches too many movies.]}
