GENKI SILENT PROTAG. She'll probably strong-arm you into doing something ridiculous, and do so with the cutest smile on earth. She might also poke you with a naginata if you're a punk.
THE SASSY PROTAG. a phantom thief with a heart of gold. lives rebelliously and without regrets, though spends most of his time feigning a very unassuming persona. #nailedit
A true sunshine protagonist. Country bumpkin, slow on the uptake. Wants to be everyone's friend. Swordian Master of fire, incredibly hot-blooded. A GOOD BEAN. Please love him. He's my favorite and I am biased.
The original fabulous Tales science lady. Probably wants to dissect you pretty shamelessly. Loves and adores cute things. Inventor of the Swordians. Definitely the definition of Mad Scientist.
Right, right! And worrying about everything all the time makes humans die faster anyway, I think.
[BLUNTLY but also not exactly untrue... He's seen plenty of people torn to pieces by war and left completely unable to build themselves back up, and those are the ones who never last long. It's tragic, certainly - and exactly why he'd rather see people like Harold around, who know when to buckle down and get to work but aren't afraid to live a little, too.]
You've got that right. It's a lot better to just enjoy life in the ways you can!
[it's not untrue, and she knows it. but she's long since turned off most of her feelings—her brother is her only weak point, and even that, she'd be hard-pressed to really admit.]
Life's too finite to worry about everything all the time. ♪
I know a lot of people who worry all the time exactly 'cause of that, too...
[There's an unspoken 'humans are weird' sentiment here, but Kashuu refocuses his attention on his nails a second later instead of addressing it more directly.]
You should come visit sometime! There are tooons of swords in my army that don't understand how important it is to look cute. Maybe you could get it through their thick skulls instead of me.
[As if that wouldn't threaten to tear reality apart at the seams IT'S FINE. All's fair in love, war, and time/space travel.]
[He'll take it as a success okay, any form of being liked is a Good One to this idiot.]
It's a rare find, y'know? Ahh, I guess it wasn't a totally bad thing that our device messed up and sent me somewhere weird! Even if explaining it to HQ is gonna be a real pain.
Eh, really? That wouldn't be a problem? I mean, I don't wanna, like... [He moves his free hand to wave it through the air.] --I guess I already interrupted, but I don't wanna interrupt more.
[Though who knows! With how dang smart she seems to be, maybe fixing up another reality's time machine will just be a blip in her day.]
It shouldn't be! Something like that should be a breeze!
[harold, pls.]
My IXI Fossler is already equipped with the ability to jump through time, provided it's given the right power source. At worst, we'd have to take a trip to my lab for supplies, but I don't think it'll be necessary!
[WELL, DANG... If she's really that confident, he's sure he could finagle something with the Generic Time Government so he doesn't get completely blasted for bringing unrelated people onto the base.]
I mean, I totally won't say no if you think you can do it that easy and it's not really making you go outta your way or anything. Government resources are kinda, mm... thin? So repairs sometimes take a while, where I'm from.
[Because the human population is apparently in such a decline that they needed to turn to sword warriors for an army in the first place...]
Well, that's the difference between a genius like me and all other people! ♥
[she gets what he's saying.
but she's also pretty goddamn confident in her own abilities and really has no qualms with pointing out that she is smart and capable of doing what other couldn't.]

[she says, living in the middle of a military base in a warzone.]
It's not all fun and games in war, but you have to have at least a few bright spots!

You're really good at this.

It'll help boost morale, too! I mean, not that it's low or anything, but you totally feel invincible with a good manicure.

[she's joking, probably. though more importantly:]
I could take a look at whatever you've got and try to come up a fix so it doesn't happen again—I'm sure we can sort it out pretty quickly!

I'll settle for that! I'm always looking for ways to improve on my cuteness though, so any tips always help, y'know?

[SO HE SAYS and yet despite claiming that "cute" is his aesthetic, it definitely leans 100% more toward sleek and stylish...]

Hmm... But you can pretty much make anything work if you pretend you have the confidence for it, right?
