[Newcomer video! Is that an elaborate life-sized doll? No, it's just a really pale girl.]

Hello.

[Ah, the wonders of Outside World technology. This is actually quite convenient.]

I've just moved into Pisces, so I thought I ought to introduce myself. My name is Alice Margatroid. I specialize in dolls, magic, and doll-related magic.

These apartments are certainly convenient and well-furnished, but they're not very homey, are they? I suppose it's inevitable when you put this many people in the same place.

In any case, my regards.

I don't know. I haven't seen anything like it in use. The closest is Persona, but they look more like powers than magic.

[independent_dollmaker]

If such powers exist, then why not magic?

[second_destiny]

Yeah, that makes sense. I just come from a place where magic is flat out denied. It's something people outgrow when they turn ten or so.

[independent_dollmaker]

But even then, you can't be absolutely sure it doesn't exist, can you?

[second_destiny]

If it did, I would think someone would have been able to prove it by now.

[independent_dollmaker]

But if it could be proven, would it really be magic?

[second_destiny]

But if it still defies the laws of physics, what else could someone call it?

[independent_dollmaker]

I feel like this conversation has gotten off track.

[second_destiny]

...Oops. I...I guess it has.

[Asem scratches his cheek in a slightly embarrassed fashion.]

But I should introduce myself. I'm Captain Asem Asuno, and I live in the Pisces apartments, too.

[independent_dollmaker]

Captain?

[second_destiny]

I'm in the military back home. Special Forces.

[independent_dollmaker]

I see... congratulations?

[What do you say to that? Alice has no idea.]

[second_destiny]

Um..."congratulations?"

[Yeah, he's not sure what to make of that reply.]

[independent_dollmaker]

...becoming special forces is an impressive accomplishment, isn't it?

[second_destiny]

...Oh. Yeah.

[Cue embarrassed look.]

I was transferred about six months ago, so I don't think of it as a recent thing. I think that's why I got confused.

[independent_dollmaker]

I see. I've never been part of anything that organized, myself.

[second_destiny]

You haven't, huh? What is it you do?

[independent_dollmaker]

Keep to myself, mostly, I suppose. Most Magicians lead solitary lives.

[second_destiny]

So, what, you isolate yourself and do research? Or maybe practice?
