[The journal feed opens up to reveal someone rather ungraceful...or at least someone suffering from a moment of clumsiness. The book, propped open on a rock thanks to a fall, reveals a young woman picking herself up from the ground. One shoe is off, and her clothes are dirtied from the fall. While not wearing the new feather dress (she was

[After seeing the events unfold through the video and this strange new girl decide where to go...]

W-wait! Don't go that way!

[Voice]

[bridal_idol]

Not this way? Which one, then?

[She stops moving. Oh, the voice coming...from the book...]

Hello? Are you talking, book?

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

...Well, sorta. The book's not actually talking. I am. The book's just transmitting my voice to you remotely. My name's Adell.

You don't want to go up into the mountains. You might get lost up there. You'll want to head away from them, hopefully towards the village. Look for a stream or river, and follow the water's flow. That'll take you in the direction of town.

[Voice]

[bridal_idol]

Oh, through the book? My, my...

Thank you, Adell-san. [He's going to get her even more lost with those directions. Because she's Azusa.] I'll be sure to do that! I think I saw one earlier.

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

Just be careful. If you see any remarkable landmarks, let me know. I can come out and find you and guide you back.

[He has experience with this. Also, he kind of knows better about letting people get lost.]

[Voice]

[bridal_idol]

I'm sure I'll be able to find it! Thank you so much for your help. Let's see...now I just have to find the stream...

[She looks around. It's time to start walking back into the forest.]

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

Hey, it's no problem at all! Just keep an ear out for the running water, that's the best way to find it. A lot of newcomers end up using the streams to navigate to the village.

Since LJ Log-In isn't working, don't mind my default icon for a while.

[bridal_idol]

That makes a lot of sense! I should have tried that earlier. Flowing water usually leads to good things, I've heard.

[vulcanblazer]

Can't say I've ever heard that one, miss.

[bridal_idol]

Oh, really? Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong proverb, then...

[Congratulations, Adell. Azusa is going to end up very lost thanks to you. But at least she'll be very happy!]

So, how far away is the village? What's it called?

[vulcanblazer]

[He'll find her eventually.]

Not knowing where you are, I couldn't tell you. But this place is called Luceti.

[bridal_idol]

Hmm...Luceti...do you know why I have wings, then, Adell-san?

...Ah, sorry! I didn't even introduce myself. My name is Azusa. It's nice to meet you, even if I don't know what's going on...

[vulcanblazer]

Nice to meet you too, Azusa!

...Believe me, the wing thing is a long story. Will you hear me out and trust me on this?

[bridal_idol]

Why do I get the feeling that I should be sitting down when you say that? Should it wait?

[vulcanblazer]

...Actually, that might be a good idea. Also, might be better to say it in person.

[bridal_idol]

Oh...how do I call you back? Hm...someone's coming. I'm going to ask them for help.
