My name is Miyu Yoshida, and I am currently a resident of the Chanai Biodome Project. I have recently passed my advanced flight training and now wish to join the ranks of our noble militant academy. Since birth I have been brought up to beleive that every human is equal and thus deserves equal treatment. I believe we will overcome the divides of sex in our nation and establish a fair and rightiouss governance to watch over our children.
I've been awarded the highest merit by the Chanai Flight Academy and hope to imropove and devote my talents to the Golden Chysanthemums for life in death.
I trust the sisterhood will look upon my application with reason.
Welcome to the sisterhood Shikomi Miyu Yoshida.
Just as a small reminder, the SKYPE security protocolls can be very helpful sometimes, it might be wise to hand us your identification or a name with which we can find you within the said security systems.
In a brilliant tactical movement, i charged backwards.
Kikuko walks into the bar on Ainu, idly looking around for something
'Xcuse me, any officials in here? Oh well... Without any response, she lands at the nearest empty table, fetches pen and piece of paper from her jacket and starts to hastily scribble something
"Konnichi wa, GC no minna-san" - fiddlesticks, can't believe this is my native language - "This is Kikuko Kusano, asking for permission to join your noble cause."
Alright, what's next? Ah, background... "I'm some kind of an orphaned walking melting pot. Born to a Kusarian woman, who tragically died soon after I was born, and a Rheinlander, who left us right away, I was raised by aunt and uncle in New London, waitress and maintenance worker at the embassy respectively. After the war broke out, we moved to Liberty. Long story short, after reaching 18 I started searching for info about my mother and found her in an old KSP executed criminals report. She was one of you, Aya Kusano if it rings some bells. Some time later, I gained enough money to buy a decent ship and set out here, expecting to see some hard-boiled she-pirates gang. Serves me right. Now, after running some errands and earning an ID, for what it's worth, I feel ready to join your ranks. Please inform me of your decision via this establishment's bartender.
-Inspired wannabe, Kusano Kikuko"
Well, so much for storytelling... But should do the trick. Girl slowly stands up and passes the paper to the robotic bartender Give this to anyone in authority here, 'kay?
Now, for some rest... Slowly walks away, whistling some catchy tune
Konnichiwa to all of you desperate women out there, we are still looking for people willed to fight together with us.
To fight for a better future, to fight for a new Kusari.
*after a few moments of flickering, Chi's face appears on the video screen. There's a rather nervous look on her face*
*she takes a deep breath, collecting her thoughts* K-...Konbanwa, honoured Elders of the Chrysanthemums, my name is Chi, Chi Shimizu. I've...read about the Chrysanthemums in many books, and also such things before I finally decided to apply for your group. Ehm...anyway, since you need to know about me and my past, I will tell you about me. It isn't really easy...for me to talk about my past...it's a dark, terrible one, I can tell you that. I usually never talk about it, it hurts...to think about all those things that has happened, but it's necessary.
I was born on Planet Junyo, at the November 13th, 800 A.S. My childhood, well, I never had a real, or normal childhood. Since I...*she stops talking for a moment and looks away from the viewer of the camera. She takes another breath and continues* Honoured Elders, I am not what you may call "human"...I am...well...you can call it mutant, or just different...I prefer different. I may look normal on the first view but look...*she moves her head a bit lower, showing the cat-ear like horns on her head* That's where I am different from the visual aspect...There are also other things which you can read in this file...Hold on, onegai...
*she pushes a few buttons, uploading a file*
...Uploading file...
...Decrypting file...
...Upload complete...
...Opening File: Research on subject Shimizu...
There, that is pretty much everything I know about my species right now...It's a file recorded by one of the researchers who examined me, that's where I will continue now. Well, my parents, as I was born, saw that I'm not normal...They didn't want a child with "horns" on the head, so they gave me away, right after I was born. They gave me to those researchers, from that moment on, I was more like a prisoner, than a normal child. They kept me in those facilities all the time, I didn't have any spare time, nor I could just go out and play like all the other kids. At the age of 5, they sent me to school, just to see how I react in an "social environment". Well...*she takes a breath again, looking down for a moment then continues* It was terrible...All the kids...bullying, beating, exposing me...For all those years...calling me freak...monster...I don't know if you can imagine how I felt, but I can't describe it either. I wanted to die, to be honest...I couldn't stand that anymore. One day, at the age of 14, they went too far...beating me up again and laughing at me while I was laying on the floor, bleeding and crying...And...and I used those abilities I have discovered on that day, against them...Killed them all...They gave me no choice.....
*there is silence for a few moments from there on, she's looking down, collecting herself again*
Well, after that, the kusarian researchers wanted to ship me to the Kepler system, to the Ames Research Facility. The people there should actually examine me further, but it never came that far. On the day I was shipped, some Xeno's attacked the transport I was in, capturing me and the goods. They brought me to their base...I could hear them talking..."Kill her, she is Kusarian, a foreigner" ... And all those things...I was scared, and almost sure they would kill me, but they didn't. One of them decided to keep me, to raise me. So I became one of them...Though, I've never been like them...Not even close. That's why I got expelled from them again, that wasn't long ago actually...But well, I never had the same goals like them, so it just didn't work.
Currently, I am freelancing, trying to find my place in this world...And well, a few days ago, I accidently tried Cardamine, for the first time in my life. I took it again, and again...And now, I need it. I have an Outcast as a good friend, her name is Salina...Salina-chan. She gave me a bit of her cardamine, so I don't suffer from the withdrawl. And well, I know the most of your people are also addicted, that's why I thought I may belong here...Back in Kusari...
I am willing to pursue your goals, Chrysanthemums, ready to fight, if I must. I wish nothing more than becoming a part of this group...to find a home, a place to be, and stay, friends, and work aswell. *she bows fully* I want to become a Chrysanthemum, a sister...Onegai...
That is all from my part now, I am awaiting your reply, Sayonara.
*the video screen begins to flicker lightly again, a few moments later Chi's face disappears, also the audio connection*
*the screen flickers again, and Chi's face appears on it once more*
*she smiles and bows deeply before she starts talking* Konbanwa , Rika-sama. Arigato that you could reply that fast, I really appreciate that.
And I also understand your worries, I can't, and won't blame you for that. And for the point that some sisters might won't tolerate me, well, I can live with that aswell. You must know I never really were tolerated in this world, so I pretty much got used to that.
Again, arigato for taking you time for me, and my application. *she bows deeply once more* I am very grateful that you give me this chance, and one thing is for sure Rika-sama, I will use this chance, I give you my word.
Sayonara for now, I hope we will meet soon enough.
*she bows again and the screen begins to flicker again, and turns off eventually*
