[Chie's been thinking about this since she showed up here - how different this place is from Demeleier, how scattered and disorganized the people here are. She doesn't exactly think of herself as a leadership type, but - well, this isn't her first rodeo, and the system they had in place in Demeleier seemed to work. Maybe it's not a bad idea to make a suggestion ... ]

Hey, um ... I know I'm pretty new here, and I know some other people have been talking about this sort of stuff too, but - is there any kind of organization among us? In the place where I was before I got brought here, we had a village Watch and a welcoming committee. The Watch teams patrolled around the village to keep the faeries out, and the welcoming committee kept an eye out for new people when they'd show up and explain where they were and how to stay safe and stuff like that. It seems like we've got a similar kinda situation here, just with monsters and gods instead of faeries. Not everyone knows how to fight off monsters.

[And even those who do know how to fight are sometimes not strong enough to succeed. Chie knows that all too well.]

I just think we all stand a better chance of surviving this place if we work together, I guess.

[That's usually the truth, right? That's been Chie's experience, at least.]

Oh! I guess I forgot to introduce myself before. I'm Chie Satonaka. It's nice to meet you all.

Faeries?

[Z has heard two entirely different takes on faeries: one where they're sweet and friendly, and another where they're actually terrifying. Chie's story makes her think about the latter.]

Yikes. Glad you got out, though uh, not so glad you're still not home. [But! Glad to have met you!]

But see, that means we can get out, somehow. In the meantime, we'll just have to do our best to keep everyone safe.

[heavyheels]

[Deeeefinitely the latter. The fae in Demeleier were as awful as any Shadow Chie and her friends encountered in the TV World - worse even than Izanami, in fact, and she's a legitimate goddess of death.]

Yeah ... I guess you're right. I mean - there were people here before, right? You all didn't build all these houses and stuff in just a couple months. So there must be a way out somehow. We just gotta find it - and like you said, keep everyone safe until we do.

[Yeah, Z doesn't like to think about what could've happened to the people who were here before Fear threw open the Door. It doesn't seem like it was pretty, and she's not keen on the thought that it could happen to them, too.]

Yeah. Well, I guess-- until we have a formal watch set up, I can swing by the colisseum every day after I practice sword fighting and make sure nothing's trying to crawl out of there to attack anyone.
