Hime, it's Nel. I'm just checking to see how you've been adjusting to Luceti. Did the experiment cause you any problems?

This might be kind of an odd question, but if anyone cares to answer I'd like to hear it.

Back where you come from, who was the highest authority? Did you trust them? Or were you against them? Or maybe something in between?

[...] The trusted authority in my world was odd.

[Voice]

[former-third.livejournal.com]

Odd? How do you mean?

[Voice]

[heroicarturia.livejournal.com]

The country was divided. One part liked his leadership and the other was against him.

There were two high authorities. They fought against one another, though they were friends at one time.

I trusted the Creator more than I ever trusted Clu.

But they both failed us.

[written]

[former-third.livejournal.com]

So they separated, and their followers split between groups that followed each of them?

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

Well. For me, the highest authority back home was technically the Overlord.

And I was definitely against him considering he cursed the whole world.

[Voice]

[former-third.livejournal.com]

That certainly sounds like an abuse of power. Did you plan to dethrone him and put someone else up?

[voice]

[generalflirt]

There's a lot of high authorities to consider when you talk about where I come from, actually. "Officially," that might be Ishihara-san?

[voice]

[former-third.livejournal.com]

A lot of authorities? Are they rivals?

[voice]

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

In my world, the government is really mean. They let the nobles get away with anything they want.

[Her voice gets quieter, weaker:]

[former-third.livejournal.com]

... I'm sorry to hear that.

[[Nel gets a surprise hug! ]]

What were you asking about, dear?

[former-third.livejournal.com]

Ah, Val. A friend of mine from home came here a few weeks ago, and that got me thinking of things back there.

... Who was in charge back home for you?

[voice]

[stringless-doll.livejournal.com]

The Jade Emperor. He's a lazy windbag.

[voice]

[former-third.livejournal.com]

He doesn't sound all that useful.

Authority?

[A beat.]

That's an easy one! My Master's the one in charge back home, but I was never against him. He's always looked out for me and my friends, and he's a great teacher, too.

[voice]

[former-third.livejournal.com]

What exactly is he in charge of?

[Voice]

[blessedbyfarore]

Um... when I was a kid, it was the King of Hyrule, but I never met him. Then Ganondorf killed him and took over, and I had to beat him, and now it'll be Princess Zelda. And I was really against Ganondorf, but I think Princess Zelda will be a really good ruler!

[Hi, Link likes his princess.]

[Voice]

[former-third.livejournal.com]

So the princess is the king's daughter, correct? How did she escape when this Ganondorf took over?

[Because if Aizen had done it nobody would have escaped.]

[floralprophecy.livejournal.com]

Well, in my world, the King and the Pope are the highest authorities and equal in status. I am a Bishop so the Pope is my highest authority.

However... due to recent events... I don't know if I can trust in him anymore.

[former-third.livejournal.com]

[Now this is the sort of answer she's been looking for.]

I see. What did he do to betray your trust, if you don't mind me asking?

[voice]

[zehahaha.livejournal.com]

I guess the government would be the authority guys, but they're a buncha jackasses, each an' every one o' 'em! Bastards were stupid enough ta blow one o' their own islands an' everyone on it ta bits, just ta get at one pirate crew!

[voice]

[former-third.livejournal.com]

Just one crew? That's insane!

... Wait. Speaking of pirates... you don't happen to know Luffy, do you?

[voice]

[justicereigns]

World Government. I'm a marine, so I'm a soldier of their force. This doesn't mean I trust them.

[voice]

[former-third.livejournal.com]

You serve them, but you don't trust them?
