North Blue. Damn it! If they'd been from anywhere else, she might have taken the gamble. There's not much in the way of cultural interchange between the Blues, separated as they are, and if they'd been from South or East, or even from West, they might well have never heard of Germa Kingdom. But North Blue?
North Blue remembers.
She doesn't let her reaction to the name show -- holds back, holds herself to the emotionless smoothness she has shown she world her whole life. So much for this afterlife being a chance to start over! Two members of the family that just tried to kill her, and now two natives of North Blue, one a Marine and the other a Warlord. There really is no escape from Vinsmoke, is there?
"I've been traveling nearly my whole life," she says, "but... most recently, I was in the New World." It isn't a lie. Germa Kingdom is not an island, has no fixed location. She does not want her family name or ties to follow her to this place, but she will also not lie to the only people from her own world. That would be too easily shattered once they return to the surface. Even so, she can hope to avoid the unpleasant truth for a little while longer.
