[there's a young woman in what seems to be like one of the back alleys of the City, dressed in a worn, but somewhat clean sack of a dress under a light jacket that's seen less threadbare days, supported on three legs- if you count her right leg and her two crutches as three

Eh... what is this...

voice;

[lackingbeauty]

Where's that voice comin' from-

voice;

[ourdenouement]

Ah- over here. The little device- it's how you talk with people.

voice;

[lackingbeauty]

How I...

[slooowly and cautiously hobbling closer back, until the view is just her one worn shoe, the frayed hem of a dress- and the crutch she's poking it with]

[ourdenouement]

Hello? Hellooooo? Hello?

voice;

[lackingbeauty]

[she'd jump back- as it was, she stumbled, instead, eyes wide]

H-

Hello... ?

voice;

[ourdenouement]

Hello, miss. Ah, I'm sorry if I scared you.

voice;

[lackingbeauty]

[she still seems rather scared of it- but she's trying desperately to hide it, put on a tough face]

Look 'ere, gent- Less you know where- Where the estate a Baron Gelwin is... or 'is London workhouse- Or where I can find some food- Leave me be-

voice;

[ourdenouement]

I don't know where those places are~ but you can go anywhere for food~

voice;

[lackingbeauty]

You can not!

voice;

[ourdenouement]

You can...here~?

[She's caaautiously edging toward the device again, keeping a crutch between her and the... thing]

Don' mess with me-

voice;

[ourdenouement]

But it's true. You're not where you think you are, you know~

voice;

[lackingbeauty]

[poooking it with a crutch again]

S- So?

voice;

[ourdenouement]

Here, you can find food more easily than... other places, I guess~

voice;

[lackingbeauty]

There's no place like that-
