[r8] talking head: leslie

[loveauthority]

[ Leslie is led to a quiet room within the resort with a pair of hammocks to suit the scene, and upon one of them is where the overseer sits. She beams, shuffling her cards in hand (she will not use these), and motions for Leslie to take a seat already!!!

This is the Talking Heads room, and there are cameras. Prepare to loosen those lips! ]

[ they're both obnoxious and inconsiderate of others that's anna's take.

she sighs, plopping her cheeks into her hands as she swings. ]

Tsukasa-kun really got it easy... In the first week alone we had fights, declarations, and drama born from the match ceremony on top of a successful Truth Booth to bolster our confidence -- but he also had to deal with some unpleasant personalities, so I guess it evens out.

[ probably. does anything even out having to deal with asa and akechi. ]

It's not so bad though. I'm using this as a way to practice for my future, too. Definitely important to be able to lead a conversation in your favor where I'm going.

[hozoned]

[That is also a valid take. As she said after the ceremony, Napoleon's ways, no matter how inspiring and heroic on the surface, feel selfish to her while Aligula sees the world and the people in it through very specific lenses. But those are just Leslie's opinions.

Anna's season as a contestant must have featured teenagers, so it sounds about right that all of that would've happened on the first week alone. It's a hormonal time! Compared to that, Leslie thinks everyone here must be guarded to some degree.]

Where are you headed?

[makeine]

To a surprising amount of racial based politics.

[ simplest way to put it. ]

Will's gotten to be a pretty important person, so since he can't live in my world... after I graduate, I'm moving to his. They're the type of society that holds public debates on the street and stuff!

[ she's gotta hold her own........ ]

And like, not that I'm super interested in all of that myself... it's important to him, you know? So I'm not slacking.

[hozoned]

[It always comes down to race, doesn't it?]

Will is lucky to have such a supportive partner. ♡ That's a lot to take on at once, though. Will he be taking care of you once you move in?

[makeine]

Uh huh! I've been visiting on my breaks so it's not a total culture shock or anything, and he's been visiting me too when he has the time. Our worlds are pretty opposite... but we'd like to have a "home" in both.

[ some things are the same though at least... heheh. ]

What's your world like, Leslie-san?

[hozoned]

[How wholesome! Really. It's the sort of ideal romance most people dream of when they're younger.]

My world . . . I'd say it's a little behind this one in terms of technology. In terms of the political climate, there have been a few wars lately, but they've all ended recently.

[makeine]

[ and someone recently gave her the "will he still be serious in twenty years" scare too. or tried. but anna already gave herself that panic attack so it's fine. ]

Oh, just like his! They're pretty much cleaning up any unrest and stuff right now, helping the people and smoothing where they can. [ which she wants to help with too. ] There's always a war going on in mine, but it's usually on the other side of the world so I don't really pay attention to it.

[ or the superheroes take care of it. and sometimes they're the reason for it. the veil is thin. ]

Do you have magic too? Or is it like, straigtforward?

[hozoned]

[She must live in an incredibly big world if she can just ignore that . . . Anna is young, though, so maybe it's a matter of perspective.]

Yes, we do. Do other worlds not have magic?

[makeine]

Well, mine...

[ ............ ]

Sort of... does...? But you have to use something to extract it. It's not normally used, but Will gave me something that helps -- I can grab it if you're curious. Otherwise, nope! That's a pretty big split between them.

[hozoned]

Huh. Thanks for the offer, but you don't have to get up on my account. Magic in my world also requires a tool to use, so it's not totally unfamiliar to me.

[makeine]

[ oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

Is it jewelry?

[hozoned]

It's an orb! We set it with different types of gems to access various elements.
