<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/4a/Iris_Heart_-_Hyperdimension_Neptunia_-_2x3_portrait_-_mischeivous.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Natsuki Akuzawa<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Hallway<br/><strong>With:</strong>Tatsuo, Sarah<br/><br/><strong>“Yeah,”</strong>Natsuki chuckled, self-consciously tugging at her blazer.<strong>“You look really good in it, though,”</strong>she commented, casually.<strong>“It’s really working for you. Me?”</strong>she chuckled with embarrassment and spread her hands.<strong>“I just look silly. I <em>feel</em> silly. But these are the only clothes I got. I didn’t get a chance to get anything else yet. I basically got shipped straight from the dungeon to my dorm here. My Mom didn’t wanna….”</strong><br/><br/>Natsuki scowled, then quickly changed the subject.<br/><br/><strong>“Theatre, huh?”</strong>she mused. It wasn’t something that had ever occurred to her. To be in a show? What a wild idea. More likely, though, she’d end up working backstage. Still….<br/><br/><strong>“Yeah, I know what you’re saying,”</strong>Natsuki nodded.<strong>“I was L-3, but the asylum they had me at, on certain days when the wind was right, you could smell the ocean. It drove me <em>nuts</em>. Some days, all I could think about was just… floating. You know? Just… laying on my back, floating in the water. Just floating there, nothing but the sky above me, endless, open ocean all around. It kept me sane, I think.”</strong>She sighed happily at the memory of her daydreams.<br/><br/><strong>“By the way,”</strong>she added in a low, conspiratorial voice. She made a “come here” gesture with her finger to signal Sarah to get closer.<strong>“I’m not sure it’s a good idea to be flashing that around,”</strong>she said, quietly, nodding at the red card in Sarah’s hand.<strong>“Or plannin’ to use your talent on <em>stage</em>. The laws may have changed; doesn’t mean the people have. Maybe keep a low profile… at least until getting a better feel for things here.”</strong>
