A-ah... hello?
[There's a curious tap of the screen as a blonde-haired young woman stares into the watch, bright green eyes looking at the device curiously.]
Did I...? This isn't...
[She whirls around again, looking at her surroundings in a nervous panic.]
Oh... this isn't good at all! Can anyone hear me?
[An intake of breath, a hand against her ( Read more... )
[Have a very shocked looking Gilbert staring at the communicator. ...Ada's been pulled into this as well?]
What are you-- [No wait, it's a stupid question. So he stops himself from answering it.] Are you all right, Ada?
Reply
[She blinks, looking at the communicator.]
Gil...? Is it... is it really you? What is this place...?
Reply
Mm. It's me. [How to explain this place. He frowns.] Ruby City. That's what it's called. It's... everyone here arrived the same as you did, Ada. We've all been brought here. And we're held against our will.
Where are you?
[A pause and he adds.] Oz will be glad to see you.

...I'm in front of the building they dropped me off at, Gil. And... my big brother is here, as well?
Reply
He is. And Alice as well.
Stay where you are, Ada. I'll come to you. [And here's where Gil is realizing that the parlor? Going to become another bedroom.] I'll bring you back ho-- to where we've been staying.
Reply
[She nods a little, looking around.]
O-okay, Gil. I'll be waiting for you...

[Gilbert is as good as his word, and it's only a few minutes later -- the time of a very brisk walk from his house -- that he's showing up around the train station, looking for the familiar head of blonde hair.] Ada?

Gil...! It really is you... I'm so glad...!
[Um. Feel free to notice her, er, odd choice in wardrobe?]
Reply
Of course it's me, Ada. Everything's going to be fine...
[Pause.] Ah... Ada? Was there a costume party?
Reply
[Oh, whoops. She forgot that she was in that costume of hers when showing Vincent her occult collection. lol]
Erm... I can explain this.
Reply
I think I'd like to hear you do that. [It sounds like a story. But well, he gestures back the way he came.] We can talk and walk at the same time. No sense lingering on the streets while it's getting dark.
Reply
[She nods following alongside of him.]
Well, I was... actually in the middle of showing Vincent something when I was somehow taken here.

[She seems proud of this.]
Reply
[A pause though. And it's totally not because he's a little skeptical of his younger brother.] I didn't know you and Vincent were really acquainted. [News to Gilbert.]
Reply
[A pause, and then a bit of a sigh.]
Yes... we are. He's quite charming, and a gentleman, as well.
