The first night at Montfort Park was going smoothly for everyone but Nasu was struggling to get on with the others, she only knew Sylvia and Emily and is at least acquainted with Reika but everyone else was either hostile or scared of the Japanese girl.
Sylvia suggested speaking to Alice, easily the smartest person here and did wonders for Hellcat's mental health.
Alice was having a moment finishing off her BBQ meal when Nasu approached her for help.
"What does the mighty Warhammer want with me?" Alice spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
"I heard you give good advice, I was wondering if you could help me out" Nasu spoke.
Alice sighed and took off her glasses, "I'm no therapist and what I say may hurt, hope you are ready?"
Nasu agreed but was still nervous.
"You want an identity that doesn't come from your mother" Alice kept it short but Nasu wasn't impressed to get so little from the explanation.
"You came to Bayside hoping to prove a point to your mother and while you got the Emperor rank and top honours as a gamer, it didn't give you the life you desired, you want acceptance as Nasu Hijiri and not as Subaru Hijiri's daughter" Alice elaborated but Nasu still wasn't clicking.
"Told you I wasn't a therapist" Alice put her glasses back on and scanned over Nasu's body.
"5ft 6in, formal masculine dress sense, little dated, stoic face, ribbon is the only feminine feature, obvious A-Cup angst" Alice gave a devil may care attitude.
"Hey! That was uncalled for!" Nasu flustered by Alice's A-Cup comment.
"Oh? I touched a nerve? Looks like you ain't so stoic after all, just relax and stop beating yourself up already, if you want friends start with Popuri, she gets on with everyone. I'm not going to be as harsh with you as I was with Hellcat, you have the manners and formalities of someone who grew up in a royal household, you live a healthy lifestyle, you just lack social skills, to be honest Emily and Sylvia are already cracking the barrier" Monologued Alice.
Nasu bowed but Alice put her hand out.
"This isn't Japan, Bayside is a weird fusion of Canada and America dotted with the United Nations for good measure, your samurai like formality will be lost on the public" Alice pointed out.
Nasu nodded and attempted a smile feeling more at ease with the situation.
As Nasu exited the cabin an excited Sylvia dragged Nasu away to the lake.
Alice looked on as she was texted by Dawn who was with Giro and Luke.
Alice giving a stern look.
