[The PCD feed clicks on abruptly. A child is crouched down low, holding it in both hands and causing the viewing area to catch largely the face and one shoulder, canted a bit to one side. It's a bit difficult to tell if the child is a boy or a girl. Arya's face is plain, her eyes brown, and her dark hair is shaved nearly to her scalp. Her clothes ( Read more... )

[A lost child. Rachel frowns.]

[Arya peers back at her.]

Hello.

My name is Rachel -- you aren't home anymore, and I would keep a close hold on the device you're using to speak to me with. It's called a PCD.

Do you need any help?

Hello, Rachel.

[Arya shakes her head. PCD must be another name for the communicator. Already she is starting to find out just how useful it can be.]

I don't think so. I just don't know how I arrived here, or what I'm supposed to do now.

You're in another world -- it's called Adstringendum. You were brought here by spirits called the Animus.

Has anyone offered you a place to go?

A boy told me I could go to the school.

[Arya doesn't mention that she has no idea where it is, nor how to get there. Of course, the boy had also said the place was called something different, and that he didn't know how or why they were there. Rachel seems to know more about the city than him already.]

Spirits brought me here? Is this a new test?

No... it isn't a test.

[Rachel looks confused.]

What kind of test would it be?

No, you're right. It's probably not a test.

[Arya considers this. Without knowing exactly what she was to apprentice, and with whom, she knows that she's at a severe disadvantage. Things make less and less sense in that everyone is telling her that this is neither Braavos nor Izembaro. And if this truly were another test given by the old priest, then she couldn't count on anyone being straightforward about that with her. She must discern the truth herself.]

I don't remember how I got here. Why did they take me?

They take everyone here -- I don't think it's really for a reason or a purpose. There are angels here, the Devil -- alchemists and magicians -- and then people like me.

[aka the normal ones. 8|]

[Arya nods slowly. It sounds a little like what some others have been telling her, too.]

What do you do here?

Oh -- I sing.
