[ 001 ]
[ After waiting a moment to make sure no one else is going to chime in and interrupt her, Cornelia takes a step forward and holds down the button of her small radio. ]

That's enough fooling around.

[ It seems as though most of them have only just arrived. But listening in on the radio has told her enough: she's stuck here with a bunch of lost children. There are a few adults, and not everyone has spoken up obviously... but an organizer. They need someone to efficiently manage them and direct their efforts towards returning home. ]

My name is Cornelia li Britannia of the Holy Britannian Empire; Chief General of the Imperial Army and Viceroy of Area Eleven. If you would like to survive with ease in this barren place and efficiently find a way home, you'll follow my orders and my command. If you would like to forage like a rat in the filth, go straight ahead.

We're meeting in town square. If you don't know where that is, there should be a map inside a building near your current location. It's along main street; connects with Beck, Baker, Indigo, Parkview and Hawk.

The majority of you are children, so I'll say this much: being brave and alone in a place where virtually any threat could exist is stupidity. Remember it.

[ Beeeep goes the radio before static. ]

[[ ooc; I'll be putting up a log for the town square meeting tomorrow morning, assuming characters are interested. ]]

That's a lot of titles. Hope you've got the skills to back them up. [ it's not a confrontational comment, Light is honestly interested and her tone is dry. This is just her way of showing it. Besides, she's learned to give people a bit more of a chance. ]

Lightning. Don't remember if I have any titles, but I was a soldier.

Lightning, then. [ She raises a brow at her not being able to remember but does not comment. It's up to her to expand on that. ] As a soldier you should know what is expected of you should you decide to join me.

Yeah, I've got an idea. [ wow there's an uptight general in every world. She's not sure if that's a good or bad thing. ]

If you're trying to get these guys organised, you're gonna need help. I'm in.

I'll look forward to meeting you soon; it seems I'll met at least one person with a sensible head on their shoulders.

[Suzaku had mainly been ignoring the crackling of the radio but Cornelia's voice made him start.] Cornelia? [Wait... Holy Britannian Empire? Imperial Army? Viceroy of Area Eleven? What was she thinking? Was she just trying to impress people or...]

What are you planning?

How dare you.

[ She thinks of Euphie, murdered by the person this one pretends to be. The only reason she cannot tell it's Suzaku speaking is because his voice is distorted by the radio. Her own voice darkens but she is aware anyone may be listening, so she controls herself. Keeps her voice level. ]

You are not that man.

[There is a long moment of silence while Suzaku tries to work out what was going on.]

Yes I am. [He didn't really know what else to answer, Cornelia didn't know who he really was and could never know.]

[ She's not even going to dignify that with a response. Why anyone would pretend to be her dear sister's murderer is beyond her. ]

[He is just going to assume the silence is acceptance and continue] What are you planning by giving your old titles? Is it just to make you seem more authoritive in the eyes of the others here?

[His tone is formal but not accusative. A good half a year of being Zero and being witness to all the peace negotiations that went on means that he is a little better at understanding politics]

Empress Nunnally? You are Zero? Do you take me for a fool?!

[ Her voice lowers, and it's nearly a hiss. ]

You're toying with me! There's no other explanation for this. Why else would you pretend to be the murderer of two of my dear siblings.

Now Suzaku was really confused, Cornelia really must have forgotten but he did not know how that was possible.] Cornelia were you injured when you arrived here? [Because maybe she hit her head] What is the last thing you can remember?

You uh... kind of lost me somewhere around "Britannian Empire" there. Well, I mean, I got the part about the meeting but that's still kind of... a mouthful. [This is the best coping mechanism.]

I'll use smaller words, then.

[ How in the hell anyone doesn't know what she's talking about when she says Britannia eludes her, but she'll shrug it off for now. The child did mention something about worlds. And this is definitely not home. ]

I am and have been a part of the military since I was young. I know what I am doing when I organize people. It is best to work in a group, so I am asking for everyone to come together. Do you follow?

Wh-- of course I follow that! Geez, I just didn't get the military title... things. [He sighs a little. Not the start he really wanted to get off to.] It would be pretty dumb for everyone not to try and stick together at this point.

[ If he doesn't get it he doesn't get it. Cornelia doesn't feel like explaining ranks and positions to him. ]

Right. You're not a slow kid if you think that way. Your name?

[Probably for the best.]

Yosuke - Yosuke Hanamura. An-and I'm definitely not slow -- but I mean, that stuff's just common sense anyways, isn't it?

[ Going off of that name, he is unmistakably an Eleven. She thinks of Suzaku and tries to remind herself that he is an example of a good one; so surely there are others. ]

You'd be surprised how many people lack what you call common sense. Should I expect you?

Yeah, definitely. I kind of want to get an idea of how many other people are actually around, too. Kinda just... for the record, you know?

That's partly the purpose of this: a head count.

[ She also plans on finding them all a place to sleep and live, but that's not something she's saying on the radio. ]

It can't hurt to have more than one though, right? I mean, in case someone doesn't hear this one or something.

[Or because they are terrified of the firm military lady. Because he kind of it.]

[she hasn't heard of the Britannian empire or Area 11 before, but she recognizes a tone of authority when she hears one.]

When will the meeting begin, General? Unless you prefer to be called Viceroy...?

If you would make your way over to the town square we can assemble; the meeting will begin once I'm sure everyone has arrived.

I will make sure to arrive as quickly as possible then. Oh, forgive me, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Ouka.

Take care in traveling.

[ She's not sure what that last name is-- Number or Britannian. ]

Ouka, I see. I'll keep my eyes open for you.

I'm very glad to hear that someone is taking charge. Though, haven't you considered that there's already a structure in place?

[info]womanofwar
2011-10-18 02:04 am UTC (link)
[ The voice is familiar, but she has no idea where to place it. It's too hard to do considering the radio static. ]

That's why I waited and didn't do this immediately. If there is an existing structure it can't be a very good one, if it allows newcomers to wander as they please.

[ The majority of that didn't even begin to connect to his drug-addled brain. All he knows is that she's got a demanding voice, so maybe he should listen to her. She sounds like a leader. But not as much shouting as he would think. ] Yo, chica. Sounds like you got a lotta words. I didn't really catch whatcha said there, though. Where's this motherfucker supposed to go and when?
