1st Arrow [Voice//Action]

[forkimlasca]

[The journal comes on to the sound of a twig snapping under her foot as Natalia picks her way through the forest.] Ouch!

[She has to stop to pick the sharp piece out of her skin.] What is this place? I don't recall Eldrant having any forests.

The others have all disappeared at such a crucial time as well. Where exactly am I supposed to go?

[galddigger]

[It's like they're coming every other day! This should be alarming, her friends all being taken all at once, but. She's just so happy to hear from her again!]

Natalia~! ♥

[forkimlasca]

[!]

Anise? Is that you?

[galddigger]

Yeah! [Glee~!] Yeah, it's me. I can't believe you're here now, too!

[forkimlasca]

I'm just glad you're safe. [She smiles a little. If Anise was here, the others should be too, right?]

Governor Osborne has told me to head for the village. Are you there as well?

[galddigger]

Why wouldn't I be~? ♥

Yup, head for the village! I can come out to meet you, Natalia! [If she can figure out where she's coming from, anyway]

[forkimlasca]

We were in a dangerous situation before we arrived here, right?

I would like that. [Already walking. She'll be coming from the south.]

[galddigger]

Oh! Um, what's the last thing you remember? I've kind of been here for a long while, and it's kind of confusing.

[Well, Anise is out the door! With a spare coat in case Natalia doesn't have her clothes with her.]

Can you see the mountains or a river or anything like that from where you are, Natalia?

[forkimlasca]

We were leaving Eldrant. You were right there with us.

[Oh Anise, you're so sweet.]

There are mountains way in the distance in front of me. I am just finding a river now.

[galddigger]

I - Eldrant? We were on Eldrant already? What happened? [She's from before your time, Natalia. D:] Oh, oh no wait. don't tell me, not right now! It'll just be really confusing.

When you find the river, follow it downstream, okay? You'll see the village in no time at all!

[forkimlasca]

You don't know? [Sooo confused.]

I will, thank you Anise.

[galddigger]

Don't mention it! ♥

[And Anise will be lurking around the edges of town.] When you start seeing buildings, do you think you could tell me what numbers you see on them or something? So I can find you real quick!

[forkimlasca]

I will do that, I think I am almost there.

[There's a pause and some rustling of grass before Natalia speaks again.]

I see... a twenty four and twenty six.

[galddigger]

Okay, that helps! I'll be right there! [And she'll just be dashing off! She covers more ground in less time if she's on Tokunaga, so that's how she'll be traveling!]

[forkimlasca]

[Waiting for Anise on the path. She's looking around curiously in the meantime.]

[galddigger]

[And soon, she'll see a familiar puppet with an even more familiar dark-headed little girl perched on its back!]

Natalia! Over here!

[forkimlasca]

[Looks over, smiling when she sees her.]

Anise! [Walks over, careful where she's stepping thanks to lack of shoes.]
