I don't think I'd be able to, but that's not new for me.

[fanstheflames]

Are you not the active type at all, Navi?

[lighttrailblazer]

Well, I didn't exactly do a lot of training or anything before...

[fanstheflames]

Hmmm... well, a little training couldn't hurt...

[ Tsuruno no ]

[lighttrailblazer]

But in combat, the actual important thing is just my psychic abilities.

[fanstheflames]

You don't ever end up in danger yourself? Nothing ever attacks you directly?

[ beyond SEEDS IN YOUR BACK? ]

[lighttrailblazer]

Well, not usually. The Aurorians protect me.

[fanstheflames]

... Darn, so I can't get hired on as an actual bodyguard when I show up...

Though I'm glad you're staying safe.

[lighttrailblazer]

You still could be, you'd just have coworkers.

[fanstheflames]

That's fine! Magical Girls are kind of like that, too.

[lighttrailblazer]

I think you'd probably get along with Vice and Carleen and everyone else.

[fanstheflames]

Vice? Carleen? Tell me about 'em!

[ She just kind of plops down, drawing her legs to her chest.

Cartwheel lessons, what are those ]

[lighttrailblazer]

Vice is the first Aurorian I met! She helped me start Soroz up and we've been working together ever since. She's kind and cheerful and reliable. She tends to fuss a bit, like a big sister, sort of.

Carleen is kind as well, but she's more quiet and formal. She seems stern, but she just has a harder time expressing her emotions than Vice does.

[fanstheflames]

Vice sounds like Iroha-chan! She's sweet and cheerful and reliable and also a big sister, so I think she's used to fussing.

And Carleen sounds like Yachiyo! You're right-- I think I'd really like them!

[lighttrailblazer]

They've helped me out a lot. And just having them around on Soroz makes it a nicer place.

[fanstheflames]

... Is Soroz where you live, too?

[ is Soroz just that amazing?? ]

[lighttrailblazer]

Yeah! Soroz is the name of the Colossus. It's a sentient mobile fortress, although we were stuck for a long time before Vice helped me power it up.

[fanstheflames]

You were saved and raised by a sentient mobile fortress?!

[ god ]

You've really lived a crazy life... you have to be a protagonist.

[lighttrailblazer]

W-well, to be fair! Caelestites had a lot of Colossi when there were more of us.

[fanstheflames]

So when the... Ec... Eclairites...? Eclipsites? When they attacked, did they wipe out the Colossi too?

[ how do you kill a fortress ]

[lighttrailblazer]

Well, a Colossus can't run without a Navigator. And if there's nobody running it, it can be dismantled the same way a machine or building could be.

[fanstheflames]

...

[ Oh. She's drooping. ]

That's... so cruel...

[ Not just his people but their fortress buddies too ]

[lighttrailblazer]

[ oh NO sits down beside her so he can kinda bump shoulders ]

A lot of them can be reconstructed if the parts still exist. But they still wouldn't be able to run without a Caelestite navigating.

[fanstheflames]

And you're the only one left.

[ Well, if he's gonna bump shoulders, she'll lean a little. ]

You're really strong, you know that?

[lighttrailblazer]

I know a lot of strong people, so I copy what they do.
