† Ninth Blade | Audio/Video

[The device switches on when it hits the ground, and now one can hear the sound of footsteps approaching and a confused boy picking it up.]

What's this thing? Why did Mother put a tracking device on me?

[He moves different switches, first video, then back to audio. He turns the device off for a moment, and after playing with it for a bit, he

That isn’t a tracking-thing! That is a Network Device!

Silly kid…
Don’t you know anything?

[Nevermind that she… also is a kid. This is a normal state of being for Aska though! ]

[ratherhavefun]

But I don't need a Network-whatever, so why was it in my pocket?

[laughswithfan]

Everyone here has one! So you can talk to the other people in the city through it!

[ratherhavefun]

Really? Wait but then it is kind of a tracking device, 'cause Mother will be able to find me!

[laughswithfan]

Only if you want her to find you…

And why are you running away from your mommy anyway? Did you do something bad?

[ratherhavefun]

But I don't want her to! That's the game!

Well, Mother says I have to go to lessons, but they're so boring! So I'm hiding!

[laughswithfan]

Elder says the same thing… but we don’t have to hide. We are a Princess and we do what we want to!

[ratherhavefun]

Maybe if I was a princess, I wouldn't have to hide, either. I could eat ice cream with my best friend all day and everything!

[laughswithfan]

Aren't you a boy though? Boy's can't be princesses that have to be princes!

[ratherhavefun]

My friend's already kind of like a prince, though. And there can only be one prince!

[laughswithfan]

No, there can be more than one Prince. You could be brothers or from different royal families!

Who is your friend anyway? We didn’t know there were any Princes here at all.

[ratherhavefun]

We are kind of like brothers! But he acts more like a prince than I do, so that's why I can't be one.

His name is Eyes, and I'm going to go visit him right now! [Even though he's lost and doesn't know that this isn't home.]

[laughswithfan]

His name is… Eyes? We haven’t met anyone named that before.

Are they nice?

[Pause]

Hey... what is your name? We are Lady Aska the First Crown Princess of Fahren!

[ratherhavefun]

Eyes is really quiet, but he plays the piano well! He's my best friend!

My name is Kanone Hilbert! So you're a real princess?

[laughswithfan]

We would like to hear him play sometime! Does he like to give concerts?!

[nod nod]

We are a real Princess. We aren’t cursed today at all!

[ratherhavefun]

Sometimes he has recitals! Maybe you can come and see him play, sometime. I'm sure that if you tell him you're a princess, he'd let you.
