A nice butt is not the only thing she has~
Much silence.

20598
Eirika falls into the routine of walking, continuing her silence.
Mio checks out Eirika's....legs. What, did you think I was going to say butt? follows behind Eirika silently.

20599
Mio masters herself again, clearing her throat. She seems far calmer now.
"She can hold her own beliefs, but I will not have her insult the protectors of my world, Alan. I hope you at least understand my aggravation."

(Idou
was talking
to Alria.))
((as. Meaning 'having the same level of anger as'. :|))

20601
((At Idou, I should have added to my last post))
((I meant she was as angry as Idou.))

20602
((Uh... why is Mio angry?))
((Alria basically talked smack about the gods who protect her world and implied they would eventually leave her people to die. That would be bad enough if the gods were intangible, like in ancient Greece, but she's SEEN the gods with her own eyes and seen their protection upon her world; hell, every time she uses Mankai, she's borrowing power from her gods to fight.

She's pretty justifiably pissed off someone's just insulted the entities to which her world owes its continued existence.))
"Then do that. I will trust in my gods, because they protect us and have always done, and I will not ask you to love yours."

20603
"So you believe, and so your world has proven."
Mio seems equally angry, like Idou, but only a tense expression proves it. Her hands are loose and unclenched, and otherwise, she seems to be mastering herself.

20604
"And what if you're wrong, and your gods were simply unworthy of being called gods?"

20605
Mio glares at her suddenly.
"They have protected us for seven hundred years, and they have yet to fail us. If you somehow believe that we did not fight against the destruction of our world, the fact that I exist to speak about it now is testament against that.

For seven hundred years, we have fought against the Vertex, with our gods.

Believe what you will, but do not dare apply your world's problems to mine."

20606
Mio smiles lightly at them.
"I do not think it likely they exist in your worlds, and, if your world has as many....wizards, as you call it, and his as many brave Stand users like him, then perhaps an apocalypse might be averted."

Then, Idou.
"I'm sorry if I shocked you. I should've been less blunt."

20607
"Month?  Day?  I don't know."
"It's not in our records, as far as I know. Perhaps it was lost during the cataclysm, or perhaps we simply wanted to forget it happened."

Idou looks at Mio.
...
A beat passes. Idou speaks. "Well."
Mio sighs and looks away, a little ashamed of herself.
"I am....sorry, if I made things awkward. I was just answering your question....."

20608
"Holy flying skeletal CARP.  Apocalypse Earth, check...D'you have a datestamp on that?"
"What do you mean? I did say the 'year two-thousand fifteen'...."

20609
"...Why?"
Mio turns to Idou, with a serious expression on her face.
"In our world, the year of two-thousand and fifteen was the last year we count as Before Shinju Era.

This is because, in our world, a cataclysm befell us during that very year; creatures called Vertex, almost incomprehensible abominations, turned our world into a literal burning hell. They descended upon our world, and killed almost everything, and everyone, they could find. Had they succeeded, the entire Earth would have been rendered into nothing.

The Shinju I refer to are our gods, who came down in our time of need and formed barriers around certain places around the world, protecting them from the Vertex with their very bodies. It is to them we owe our lives, and to them we pledge our allegiance. This has been the way it has been for seven centuries.

Our gods need help to protect our world from the Vertex, and so the Hero System was created, in order to turn people like myself into Heroes to protect everyone, and help repel them from what little safe havens remain. And we've claimed back parts of our world, but not all of it- so there is work to be done.

But, I think, we'll do it eventually."

20610
"I barely understand it myself, but if one thing can be said, at least the worlds most similar to mine never had to use or invent the Hero System, a thing I'm thankful for."
