[ The last thing Amanda remembers is having fallen asleep in Clarice's cabin, but there's grass underneath her, not a mattress. She wakes slowly, squints against the sunlight as she pushes herself carefully into a sitting position. She's wearing white, a white dress that doesn't look like anything she ever owned, and the space around ( Read more... )

[ Then it's Em who is quiet for a long time, observing the woman rather than saying anything. She isn't a very proactive woman and unless she is actually friends with the other person, she doesn't insist much. She could be wrong, of course, even if the woman is clearly favouring one leg. ]
If you say so. [ Not quite convinced, however. ] Look, you're not the only one that got-- kidnapped, I suppose. In fact, all of the people around here are in the same situation as you are, myself included. I've been here for months, so you probably should try to get yourself somewhere to stay while you're stuck here. There's a building complex a friend of mine-- [ Probably shouldn't say "built from magic dirt". ] --Well, she just overlooks it.
Also, you will notice sooner or later, but I should warn you people come from different times and different places. Don't be surprised if you tell them you're from somewhere well-known and nobody knows what you're talking about.

[ She's listening to Emilia, but none of what she's saying really makes any sense to her right now. That one word kidnapped has gotten stuck in her mind, and the fact that the other woman has been here for months, and... it's too much. This is too much information at once and Amanda feels a little dizzy. Maybe it's good she's leaning against the tree for support. When she speaks, her tone of voice has gone shaky, anxious. Maybe a little angry, too, though that's not directed at Emilia. ]
Who would do that? Take all these people from their homes?

A frown appears on Em's face as Amanda leans against the tree. ] Are you sure you're all right? [ It's not like she goes out of her way to help strangers, but she can related to the situation of being pulled here with no warning. ]
She calls herself the Queen. [ Her tone is rather accusing, as if saying she's crazy, which is fortified by the fact Em is rolling her eyes. ] There are a few others who work for her. And the animals act like we're in a children's film. [ A sigh. ] Nobody really knows what the hell does she want, besides apparently only wanting women in her Gardens. And romance. [ Eyeroll.
She still resents the fact the Queen picked her when she has no interest whatsoever in women. ]
