[ della has a slightly serious look on her face... but for those who know her, there's definite playfulness in her eyes. ]

This is one of those "I can't believe I have to say this" kind of deals, so buckle up, folks.

Guys? I know I'm really amazing, very cool, and all around unbelievable. I'm so many things, it's hard to list them all. But one thing I'm not?

A deity. Yes, I am in fact, 100%, absolutely and truly not a goddess. And no, I'm not a demi-goddess either. Not a single trace of divinity in me. I won't name names, but this has happened about three or four times now. Just thought I'd mention it in case there's anyone else out there with this assumption.

... Y'know what? It's a new month, and that means we're getting newbies. Maybe now's a good time for everyone to sweep any other misunderstandings under the rug. So, if there's anything you wanna clear up about yourself, your world, your species, whatever, go for it.

((ooc: feel free to use the above as an excuse to tag others in this post!))

I'll be certain to try to warn ahead of time then.

[Unpleasant is bad enough, why inflict it on nominal fellow train allies?]

... I admit given the bare sketch of your natures and how the average person would surely react to such a possibility, I have wondered if in your world, you are considered second class citizens or worse. Do you at least have the ability to choose who you partner with? Or can you, with each other, and skip the human element?

[...Well. Xehanort certainly did hit the nail on the head with that one, if the way Asch glances at Jade before letting out a bitter little chuckle is any indication.]

Only for about the last three years.

[It's an answer to both of the last two questions, really, one that answers the first without really answering it. No, blades didn't have that choice. Yes, that led to some incredibly shitty things.]

[Jade's laugh does not sound bitter, at least not to those who don't know him well. Second class indeed.

His tone is wry, though, humor a method of dislodging the fury that would consume him whole, otherwise.]

Before that, our only options out of the system usually involved someone dying. And/or questionable magical rituals.

[...which certainly is A Way of putting "performing surgery on yourself to cram a human heart in your chest". Perks: leaves Xehanort room to make assumptions, and gets across the vibe without having to go into the specifics.]

That's good to hear. .. Not that your previous options were good, but that you have something more reliable now.

[While he's certainly curious about these rituals or sudden deaths, there were other things to pursue first.

One saves such questions for the second encounter, never the first..!]

I assume then, with three years' experience, you both work well together. In the inevitable deployment of all of us into mayhem on some foreign world, do you two fight best side by side, or do you prefer having a healer and someone wearing heavy armor along with you?

[oncedriven]

We haven't known each other for all of that time, but we do work pretty well together, I think.

[A small glance at Jade - their 'working together' is more based in common priorities than combat experience, but given what they've seen so far on the train, there's plenty of time to fix that.]

And I'm a healer myself - the only one on Blue, actually, as far as I know.

[Not that they always run with Blue - far from it, considering the last mission - but hey, in theory at least Blue has a healer now?]

[crimsonsnow]

[Jade shares the glance, a smile.]

We certainly do. And we can both handle combat on our own, if we must - but the two of us alone are certainly more than sufficient for most things.

[So... no need to waste resources on them that would be better spent elsewhere, in Jade's opinion.]
