[Wriggle sits at the terminal with her chin resting in her hands. She seems rather tired and irritable in her expression and the way she moves but when she speaks it seems almost bored]

So I've been thinking a lot, and then I realised that I'm not very good at thinking. I'm getting kinda sick of this place, I don't remember the last time I was somewhere that wasn't here but I've got important stuff to do.

You guys know the monsters that have been running around, right? The one with the blue mask, which one is that? That girl... Ruana? I was talking to her but she wasn't making any sense something about killing them when they're normal but I don't know what that means.

I know I don't really know a lot of you guys and I really hate to ask for help but do any of you know what we're s'posed to do? I don't wanna just lay low while all this stuff happens, I wanna do something but I don't know what.

I just hate feeling so useless all the time.

[From her, that's actually quite a big thing to admit]

Ryuunosuke Uryuu, at your service! What's yours?

[wrigurun]

Wriggle Nightbug, natural born insect leader!

[kindofademon]

What kinds of insects? All of them?

[wrigurun]

Yup! All of them! And even some non-insects like spiders and centipedes.

[kindofademon]

That's cool. Does it come in handy?

[wrigurun]

All the time! I can send messages over long distances with fireflies and lots of them make noise, so it's fun to sing with them!

[kindofademon]

Ooooh, that sounds like fun!

[People who are scared of insects, definitely not Ryuunosuke.]

[wrigurun]

Isn't it!

We can put on a performance for you sometime if you like!

[kindofademon]

No way, that's too nice for somebody you just met~

[wrigurun]

Do you think so?

Then lets meet some more! Can you sing or play an instrument? You could join in too!

[Don't mind her, she just gets excited when she meets someone who thinks her insect powers are cool rather than gross]

[kindofademon]

I can sing alright, but I'm not super talented or anything. But man, that's definitely something I haven't done before.

[wrigurun]

You should try it!

There's nothing better than hanging by the lake and listening to music.

Although it's harder near the lake here, I don't know why... But they all get out of time and out of tune and just do what they feel like.

[kindofademon]

It could be a power null thing here.

[wrigurun]

Oh yeah...

I've been training to overcome that but I haven't had much success so far.

[kindofademon]

I don't have any powers or I'd be doing the same thing.

[wrigurun]

You know, in a weird way that's actually kind of handy here.

Back home you probably would have been eaten by youkai already but since there are so many things that can stop you using powers here if you know how to take care of yourself without them you kind of have an advantage.

[kindofademon]

I guess so! It didn't save me forever back home, but I lived a pretty good life and was never eaten.

[wrigurun]

That's good! I'd be disappointed if you were.

[kindofademon]

Striving not to disappoint!
