➷ Rise to the Challenge [Video]
Have any of you ever fought a dragon before?
[Rebecca’s face graces the network for the first time, eyes bright even if she looks a little uncertain. Starting off like that...it’s bound to get SOMEONE’s attention, isn’t it?]
Ah—I’m Rebecca, by the way. I’ve never...what’s the word...video'd myself for anyone before. But I’ve been thinking about it, and I was wondering if anyone here had. You see, before I came here, my company and I were headed to a place called Dragon’s Gate. A wicked man is attempting to summon dragons to our world, and I really don't feel like I need to get started on why that would be horrible.
[She closes her eyes for a second—takes a deep breath, calms down before smiling again.]
So I was thinking...if I returned home...maybe there’d be some knowledge from here I can bring back to them, right? I can’t say we’ll face a dragon for certain, and we have the legendary weapons...but any knowledge would be helpful, I think! Just please keep in mind that where I come from...Elibe...the world isn’t anything like this one at all. We don't have 'electricity' and we bathe with water warmed with fire. Most of us live in villages or hamlets, and our biggest buildings are castles, not skyscrapers.
[Did she accidentally describe that she’s obviously from a JRPG? No, of course not.]
So...does anyone have any advice? It’d mean a lot to me, really! And I'd like to speak to more of you as well, I really shouldn't have put this off.

[Nah. "The ex" is worse.]
Man, I'm kinda stuck. Like, I wanna learn stuff here and all, and I'm going to school, but I'm also gonna have to go right back to school when I get home. Pretty much everything I'm learning here would be science fiction.

[That's deep, though, but if she had an ex she'd be able to handle him. She's 16, though, she'd rather get a nice boyfriend than worry about losing one.]
I've never thought about it like that. There has to be some sort of skill you can learn here that you can take back with you, right? Maybe...vegetarian cooking? Or writing?
no subject
[If she was already used to being called it... Wait, she did have one, didn't she?]
I don't even know. I know two of my friends who'd be better at figuring that sort of stuff out than me, I just hit stuff really hard. Which, y'know. Useful here, not so useful elsewhere.
