Here we go again.

Mio adjusts the camera angle as she films herself. She clears her throat and introduces herself:

"Hi, I'm Mio Amakura. I'm new here, they just showed me the presentation and interviewed me. They said that there are many 'fellow New Hires' I can speak to, anyone care to show me around? Thanks in advance."

She ponders on whether to say something else or not, stays silent for a bit choosing the latter. Right when she's about to turn off the device, though, a question comes to her.

"I wanted to ask, is this a different plane of reality? Like some sort of dream?"

Last thing she knew she was in the Manor Of Sleep searching for Mayu, actively being cursed and all. If this is an evolution of that dream, then the thing took quite the turn.

"Also, are curses a thing here? Asking for a friend."

She doesn't realize that her tattoo is visible to everyone in this universe, but she is aware that there can be some kind of alteration whether this is a dream or not. For what she knows, this might be the third curse in a row. She's not happy about it, but she'll do what she has to.

"There's physical training everyday to keep us in good shape! You're kind of lucky you got here now and not earlier, there was this unbearable guy that loved to make us suffer. Movie sergeant increased to the max! But he's...not around anymore"

Shelley decided not to outright say he's dead because she wants to give a good impression to the new girl, really.

"Other than that we're left to our own devices. That's not as great as it sounds because Jorgmund cut all sorts of corners when it's about entertainment and stuff to do. But if you get to be on good terms with the kitchen crews they'll let you cook stuff yourself, so it's not all bad!"

Good food makes everything better!

"That's good to hear. If anything, I can help with chores. My combat abilities are all gone without my weapon."

Mio hates having to handle the Camera Obscura, it's an unlucky device because not only it exorcises ghosts, it attracts them, but she knows when it's needed...And a weapon that only works against a specific enemy is better than no weapon.

"Although I can still sense ghosts and presences on my own, so that's something at least."
