As the ship safely stops at the dock of LA, before she can move or do anything, a crewman passes by and tells her she should wait until someone comes to pick her up . And so, she is left in her room with her pets , looking outside the window at how the city is doing . She can see many types of ships around the port and in the sea . Along the coastline, she can see that many refugee camps have been set up for all the people who have been evacuated across the country . She supposes they will be moved to other locations or the city will overflow . Some more minutes pass until the door of her room opens once again , and as she looks towards it, there is Joy, in the same bck military uniform that she has been wearing on the ship, though now she seems more rexed as they have entered the secure zone.
- Hi, Joy, what are you doing here? *Goji asks, sitting straight in her bed.*
- Yes, hello Ms. Goji . As your deal with the U.S. Army has been made, and because I'm one of the only people who aren't utterly afraid of you, I have been designated to be your escort, *Joy says calmly, even though the news is a bit shocking to Goji. *
- Sorry, I shouldn't have heard it right... an escort? That is a guard , no? I'm pretty sure I don't need one, especially in this supposed safe zone.
- You indeed don't need a guard, but after thoroughly reviewing the interview and consulting with professionals in psychology , the U.S. Army has deemed it necessary that someone is with you at all times. *She hands her a phone where an email is dispyed; it's kind of awkward in her hands, being rather small , but she succeeds in reading it.*
- This says ... I'm bad at socializing ... arrogant... prideful ?
- Indeed, Miss Gojira , and for better or worse, your history of being a giant monster can be backed up by your ck of finesse maneuvering with technology or experience doing normal things. *She points her fingers to a corner of the room ; there lies the table with the food that has been given to Goji , completely eaten but... the fork and knife are spotless clean as if they have not been used at all . Then she points to the bed, which is completely disorganized, using the bnkets and pillows to build some sort of nest where Goji has been sleeping. At this evidence, Goji cannot deny the accusation, but she can compin.*
- And what would you be? A babysitter ? A trainer? Isn't that too low a job for an official in the hunter branch? *She asks with a condescending smile, masking her wounded pride for being categorized like a brute.*
- I just comply with orders from the higher-ups . You are a VIP asset in this fight, but we cannot let you run around completely clueless. *Joy continues standing without backing down, maintaining the same efficiency she had in the interrogation room, though this is irritating Goji as she stands up and walks in front of her, looking down at the smaller girl.*
- You know, I could just beat you up , right ? * She threatens Joy, but with astonishingly composed confidence, the girl responds.*
- You wouldn't do it ; you are too proud to lower yourself against those you deem defenseless without a valid reason. *The standoff continues for a few more moments, and Goji finally inspects Joy closely. She is small to her, with an unexpressive face and bck hair wrapped in a bun at the back of her head . She wears gsses, it seems ... After thoroughly looking at her, Goji sighs in defeat as she backs down , taking some steps back.*
- Okay, okay... you win this round . I will comply and learn the human things from you . Happy now?
- Indeed, now follow me, Goji. *Joy smirks at her victory over the queen of the monsters as she leads her out of the room, the pets in line behind Goji . Goji has finally met someone who can defy her with something other than brute force... her complete inexperience with human emotions and feelings.*
Throughout the walk towards the car, she attracts many stares, first because of her height, second because she moves with an air of arrogance, and third because of her tail . Though she curls it a bit so it doesn't stand out too much, it was inevitable, and before long she was being photographed from a distance, all in just the port . How will it be in the city? She can only sigh in irritation, and Joy shares the sentiment . The journey in the car is a silent one as Joy drives through the bustling city, many pces more crowded than normal and with a heavy military presence as the HQ of the west front . Goji, for her part, is observing all the people passing around , all the big buildings and phones, the artifacts , cars, and more - things she was never interested in when she was in her other form . She attempts to make small talk with Joy as she reads about her. She discovers Joy is quite young, 25 years old - nothing compared to her millennia in her original form-but one could say that in this form she has 0 years old, 20- something being the age her body has taken for the...Last of her species title, making her more attractive to others, though it hasn't worked very well, as all the people she has met have been too afraid, taking a respectful stand or outright walking the other way. Now that she thinks about it, Joy and her pets that she rescued in Hawaii are the only ones not putting as much distance as they can... kind of sad, but she is the queen of the monsters, so she is quite accustomed to solitude. In her original form, that is... How will things progress in this new humanoid body with new necessities and problems ?
