♫ 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

[No goddamn way.]

Giselle?!

[slightlystunned]

Yes! Hello! Who am I speaking to?

[encryptedlock]

Name's York. Nice to meet you--again.

You--well, you were kind of here before, even if you don't remember it.

[slightlystunned]

It's very nice to meet you, too, York. But, I'm terribly sorry, I don't recall our meeting before.

[encryptedlock]

Naw, that's all right. People don't remember being here before, even if they were.

You made some great cookies and shared them with all of us. Makes you a nice person in my book.

[slightlystunned]

[a laugh] That certainly sounds like something that I would do. I'm very glad you enjoyed them, then! What kind were they? I can make them again if you'd like.

[encryptedlock]

Let's see...Chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin.

Grif really liked the oatmeal raisin, as I recall.

[slightlystunned]

Grif is friend of yours? I would very much like to meet him. And I will certainly make batches of cookies for you and your friend.

[she looks around her room]

Of course, I will need to find the kitchen, first.

[encryptedlock]

What? Nobody's told you where the kitchen is yet? Crazy.

...It's on the first floor. Good to have you back, Giselle.

[slightlystunned]

Wonderful. I'll be sure to make some cookies before my stay is over. And thank you for the warm welcome, York.

[encryptedlock]

You're welcome, Giselle. And if you got any question, just ask, okay?

[slightlystunned]

Oh! I do have one! Have you seen Robert? He's my true love. He has a beautiful little girl, her name is Morgan. I'm wondering if they are here as well. Yuuho said that they might be.

[encryptedlock]

Hmm. Can't say as I've met anyone named Robert or Morgan, but you never know. Lots of times, even when someone thinks they're the only one they know here? Someone else from home shows up soon.

[slightlystunned]

Who knows? He may come to rescue me. He's seen how it's done, I'm sure he will. Yes! I'll just wait here for him.

[encryptedlock]

[He chuckles a bit. So enthusiastic, Giselle.]

Least you got a comfortable place to wait for him?

[slightlystunned]

Yes, this is a very lovely castle. I can't wait to explore the rest of it!
