♫ first song

[slightlystunned]

[The cheeriest tune is being hummed when it stops suddenly, and there's a gasp.]

Oh my...

Where am I? This certainly isn't home, nor is it anywhere I've ever seen. [thinks!] I don't recall falling down a well, and I certainly haven't crawled through a hole in the ground.

[The sound of a door opening]Oh dear, is this a castle? I'm not looking for

There's a bunch of us here, don't worry.

[slightlystunned]

My goodness! You mean there are more of you trapped inside this book?

[simpledoes]

Well--... Not in the book. The book's just how we talk to each other and stuff.

[slightlystunned]

Oh, I see. [she's trying to, really!] Then, it's like a telephone? Robert has one, and when he uses it, he can speak to anyone he wishes.

[simpledoes]

[Telephones, telephones.... He thinks he knows what those are. Maybe.] Yeah, like that! We've all got one, so you can talk to anybody in the castle if you want to.

[slightlystunned]

Really! And all I do is just speak into the pages? [She brings it closer to her face and raises the volume of her voice.] LIKE THIS?

Y-... You don't have to be any louder or anything! I mean, you can hear me fine, right?

[slightlystunned]

(ooc: slkfjsldf I was cleaning out my inbox and noticed this neglected tag. WE CAN FINISH IT UP?)

Oh. [She pulls the book away from her just slightly.] I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout. And yes, I can hear you just fine.

Thank you very much for telling me how this works. What is your name?

[simpledoes]

((YOU BETCHA. No problemo fff ♥))

I'm Lloyd. And don't worry about it, it kinda confused me when I first showed up, too.

[slightlystunned]

My name is Giselle. And it's very nice to meet you, Lloyd. That's a very fine name. It could be the name of a prince!

[simpledoes]

... Heh, you think so? I dunno, I don't think I'm really cut out for that kind of stuff.
