She'd never even been in a fight before, unless you counted the one time she decked a dude who called her a towelhead. And even then, that was only the one time. How was she gonna defend herself in some... weird fantasy world, with monsters and shit? And for that matter - and here she glanced at the sobbing Eun-ha - how was she gonna defend [i]others?[/i]

Esther let out a quiet [color=8882be]"Hmph."[/color] and began pacing back and forth in front of the bed she had woken up in, muttering to herself. [color=8882be]"Okay, what was I doing before this? I was... asleep, I think. I had just made some more progress on that song, and it was really late, so I decided to call it a day and go to bed, since I had class tomorrow and I needed to go to bed at a semi-decent time. And then..."[/color] She looked up suddenly, at the room, its inhabitants, and the picture above the fireplace. [color=8882be]"And then I woke up here."[/color] Esther paused for a few seconds. [color=8882be]"...Fuck, I have class tomorrow."[/color] She resumed her pacing, grumbling invectives under her breath. [color=8882be]"If this shit makes me lose my scholarship I am gonna have [i]words[/i] with whoever fuckin' brought us here, I swear to God. Gonna beat the piss outta them and sell their organs on the black market or something..."[/color] She continued in that vein for a while, channeling her anxiety into anger, oblivious to the others in the room.
