❝first yell❞ | video | just before nightfall on oct3

[hatestoswim]

[There is a video out broadcasting to the world right now. It appears that the PORTAL device is face down in a pile of .. underwear? In any case, you can hear shuffling in the background as though someone is pacing rapidly and breathing rather hard. Which Taiga totally is, because she's kind of freaking out. She'd gone to sleep in her apartment,

[meitori]

Believe me, you're not the only one who has been kidnapped.

[:| <--- THIS FACE FOREVER AT THE YELLING.]

[hatestoswim]

[ALL THE YELLING. ALL OF IT.]

Y-Yeah?! Are you the one who did it?!

[meitori]

[NO. MAKE IT STOOOOOP.]

No! Why the hell would I kidnap myself?!

[hatestoswim]

[Never~]

You were kidnapped too?! BY WHO?

[meitori]

Hell if I know! We're trying to figure that out!

[hatestoswim]

.. So basically you know nothing. [Sulk.]

[meitori]

Well, we've been trying.

From the looks of it, the King and Queen aren't the card holders here. There's something else beyond them at work.

[Yeah. It sucks.]

[hatestoswim]

Trying what?

[meitori]

Get answers of course!

What, did you think we just sat around all day? Many of us have tried to communicate to the King or Queen, the guards, see if we could find anything about the history of this place, or the person who has been rumored to be working on a book of legends that come from here! I apologize if this process isn't quick!

[/end rant; forgive him, he's been away from home too long]

[hatestoswim]

[Tch, have you met Taiga? It's going to take much more than that to get her to backdown.]

I just got here and you expect me to know all of these things?! I don't expect it to be quick but it sounds like you don't know anything!

And I -- .. I want to go home..

[Oddly, at the end of her rant, she sounds more .. sad than anything else.]

[meitori]

[He's quiet for a little while.]

I'm sorry I spoke like that. We do have more questions than answers, but we're not giving up. We're all working towards getting home.

[hatestoswim]

.. It must be frustrating, I guess. [You are forgiven.] Have you been here a long time?

[meitori]

[Thank you. He appreciates it.]

I think I have been here for a few months. Time kind of passes by too easily.

[hatestoswim]

.. A few months. Do you know people who have been here longer?

[meitori]

Off the top of my head, no, but there is bound to be someone if you ask.

Oh, Dawn. She could probably help you out.

[hatestoswim]

Dawn. How do I find this person?
