dualpinkpistols | [Video] Vatheon, meet Positive Thinking.

Hey, Vatheon! Maya here~ I know some others have probably said it, but the more I hear, the more I've been wanting to speak up, too!

[ The camera turns on to show a bright and bubbly woman, probably in her early twenties, with pink eyes and black hair. Obviously, she's managed to put together her old outfit. Well, because she likes it a lot. Under her ear is a pencil at the moment, and there's a bunch of recording equipment nearby, and a small notepad in her hand, which she is scribbling on with a different pencil.

She holds the notepad up to the camera of the SFC: ]

I might be new, but I think sitting around and being sad won't get us anywhere. No one can take away your smile unless you let them, you know? Alcohol is a depressant, and it's not a solution. All of you guys drowning your sorrows ought to give them the happiness they'd want from you, you know...? Would they want all of you to be so sad? I don't think so~!

[ The camera shifts off from the smiley face to Maya again. ] Now, then! Since that's the case, I'm going to start an edition of Coolest, my magazine from Sumaru city here in Vatheon. I'm a reporter for the editorial division back home, so I think it would be fun if I took a moment to get to know all of you, where you come from, and what your worlds and realities are like! ♥

If anyone knows who I should talk to about getting this started, or would like to help me out, just ring me! I'll be here waiting to listen to your stories too, or just lend an ear, if you want! Ciao everyone!

[ And the feed cuts. ]

(( Still technically on hiatus so I reserve the right at any time to disappear/tag extremely slowly, but yeah. I couldn't wait to post this anymore kajhsldkfjhg. <33 CHEER UP VATHEON. IC, AND OOC. ♥))

[ ... Dead. She smiles a bit at that. ]

Haha... that seems to be the case for some of us. There's nothing to go back to.

[ But the topic is dismissed quickly, and she moves on. ]

But... what would rioting solve, besides making people angry? Wouldn't it be better to try a civil approach? If the riot got out of hand and someone got hurt, that wouldn't end too well, you know...?

Listen... I've only been here since late December. But there are people who've been here longer. Way longer. I don't think whatever they're doing is making much of an impact.

Before I came here, there wasn't even a Guard or anything. Or... _{What'd he call it...} A militia. There was nothing to protect the normal people, who couldn't do magic or fight or whatever.

And it's not just nice people who get dragged here. _{[Lea's expression turns dark.]} There are a lot of psychos. People who hurt other people just for fun. But no one thought to do anything until I suggested it to this colonel guy.

Kind of pathetic, you know. I'm still just a kid- compared to a lot of other people, anyway. I shouldn't be suggesting these sort of things, because they should already be done.

[ ... More of that, huh? Maya's expression falls a bit. She mumbles a little to herself. ]

Out of the frying pan and into the fire, huh?

... Well there's a difference between rioting and trying to do something constructive. If that's the case, then I'll do what I can to help organize something.

A defense force or a militia would be a really good idea. Obviously it holds that both kinds of people would end up here, but that doesn't mean we should automatically assume EVERYONE is bad, right?

For all we know, the people who took us might need us to help them. And if that's the case, then I'm not about to let anyone cause needless violence if I can avoid it.

Colonel Mustang was trying to set something up, but he's one of the people who disappeared. I think his lieutenant is still here, 'tho, so she's probably trying to set something up. Probably wouldn't let me do much worse anyway...

If they really want our help, then they need to actually tell us something instead of just jerking us around. Even when the ship crashed into the barrier and the ghosts were a lot less fun, we got the bare minimum of information.

[ She rubs the bridge of her nose. ]

Well, what's another few mysteries to solve? I've got my entire afterlife ahead of me to help you guys out, so I'll talk to his lieutenant if I can. Did you get her name? I can help protect people myself, since I'm a good shot and I have my Persona, but I do think setting up a system would be a great idea.

[ There's a small, determined nod. ]

She'll probably listen to me. I can speak for you guys, if you want? Usually, adults just want the best for younger kids, you know? We wouldn't want you guys in danger. But the kids I know can defend themselves, so it's a real paradox...

Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye. _{[Lea is in the knooooow.]}

Kids here can defend themselves too. So instead of tryin' to parent us, how about you work with us?

[ Maya pauses. And... laughs. ]

Hey, hey! I never said anything about that. I'm more of a big sister, not a mother!

[ YOU ARE SO AMUSING, LEA. ] And anyway, I'm just saying that's why she might not have listened to you. I never said I wouldn't! If you didn't hear me before, the only thing I'd like to do is work with everyone here, no matter who they are, what they are, or how old they are, and make things more positive!

[ She gives him a bright, almost contagious smile of reassurance. ] So... think you're up to helping me do that?

...If you're serious, I guess I am too.

Of course I'm serious! Why wouldn't I be?

...People can be weird.
