Everybody should have something they're really good at. I'm the best at lightning attacks.
Maybe we should compete then! But I warn you, I won't lose.
You know, one of these days I'll have to find you figures of someone other than my teammates. To say nothing of the fact that, well, this is totally reasonable.
[Marine swooping in to catch her teammate in outstretched arms? Perfectly valid... 'if I don't get there first, at least,' Itsuki felt she had to amend.]

Huh. Am I really that popular?
[There's a pause as Itsuki realizes the ramifications of that statement, and she shivers.]
Yayoi... the way you say that scares me just a little. I don't need you, of all people, being in my head. Nothing against you personally, but I've got enough problems in here alone.

W-well, when you put it like that... I guess it makes sense? It's still hard to believe I'm popular like that, though. I don't do this for the fame or anything. I do it because it needs to be done, and because there are people that are important to me that I can protect. [She pauses again.] Maybe that's part of it, too.
Genre-savvy is one thing, but... you're scarily perceptive sometimes. I pray you're never against us, or we might be in real trouble.

[Itsuki puts a hand over her heart, smiling.] With the examples we've got here, I can see why. But in any event, if there are people rooting for me, I can hardly let them down, right?
What little I've seen of the fandom already scares me. [She shudders a little.] I'll leave the research to you, and stay well on this side. You gather the information, I'll work out what to do with it.

I hope so... having the school depending on me is one thing. Having the world depending on me is another entirely. But... like I said, there are things I have to protect. And if I have to stand between them and the end of the world, I'll do it. [She grimaces.] Although, if it comes to that, I might need a little help.
In this case? Knowing might be a little more than half the battle. Knowing how to keep out of the things you don't want to see is critical. And to be honest, I'm not great with a computer, anyway. I can get around the community, and I can manage my schoolwork and student council things, but beyond that I leave it to people that know what they're doing.
