[ She's standing right in front of the mansion, clad in simple and practical clothes reminiscent to those she wore in Alternia. She waves at the recording device for a moment before turning it away from her and forward.]

Let's see what's inside, then...

[ When she steps in, there's a short pause. Aradia is quiet, broadcasting her surroundings but ( Read more... )

...Aradia?

[Naoki tilts his head at the feed.] What is it? Is there something in there--?

[ With the way the device fell, Aradia is only visible from an odd angle at the very corner of the feed. Naoki's voice doesn't go by unnoticed, but she doesn't pick up the device right away. She does respond, though: ]

Naoki! It's Sollux. He's here but he--

[ A voice across from her interrupts her right then. It sounds tired, upset.

Why didn't you help uth? ]

What? No- no, I did...!

[ Aradia herself sounds outright confused, more so than scared. In fact she looks confused when kneels down to pick up the device, looking from the figure to Naoki and back at the figure. ]

Naoki, I think something is wrong.

[Naoki frowns as he hears that voice. Sollux? A friend of hers?

He looks at Aradia when she gets the communicator in hand, frowning all the more deeply. More than a little worriedly.]

Something?

Yes, I--

[ The voice cutes her off again -- AA aren't you paying attention? Why won't you help uth? -- and she looks over her shoulder briefly. ]

He isn't... He's dead. But that can't be... [ Deep breaths, Aradia, or you'll be more confused. ] I'm in this old mansion, but I'm not sure where to turn now.

[Naoki's eyes widen slightly. Someone dead...? His hand lifts, rubbing along the side of his neck, giving away his sudden anxiousness for her.]

Old mansion? Where?

[Oh yes. He fully intends to go.]

[ She frowns, seemingly ignoring the voice that keeps talking to her. He- Sollux is just there, he hasn't moved yet, just like Aradia herself. ]

By the outskirts of town, I think.. You don't have to search too hard to find it, it will guide you. [ What a strange thing to say, but it's what happened to her. The voices brought her here. ]

I think... I should find a way out, yes?

[Naoki pauses in the midst of standing at that, blinks at her. Strange, indeed, but he doesn't question it.]

I think you should--just in case it's dangerous.

I don't think it's dangerous as much as... Unsettling? [ She arches an eyebrow, looking over at the figure-- it's gone, but she can still hear him.

She stands up and begins moving back, the same way she had come from in the first place. ]

Is it... Ok if I visit you?

Ah... [Well. Naoki would take unsettling above dangerous, at least.]

Visit? Of course.

[ Unsettling is generally better than outright dangerous, isn't it?
It's going to take Aradia a while to get out of this place, so don't mind it if she sort of keeps talking. ]

... Thank you. [ She smiles. ] Looking back, I think I wasn't as prepared to explore this place as I thought.

[Naoki doesn't mind at all, gives her a faint smile in return.]

I've...yet to go in there.

[ She's walking now, so the image is a bit shaky. At least she's looking for a way out though. ]

Do you intend to? If it's not too much to ask.

[Naoki frowns in thought.]

I'm not sure yet... [But he will end up drawn there, one way or another.]

[ A nod. ]

Well it's up to you of course. [ She pauses. ] The hive itself is nice enough... But I didn't expect this at all.

[Naoki hums quietly at that.]

Hard to expect what'll happen here sometimes, [he mumbles, thoughtful.]

That's true. It's a bit strange not knowing what to expect though; I think I got too used to having guidance.

[ To be fair, this originally felt the same - it just doesn't seem to serve a greater purpose, a greater good. After all this time, she's still wondering if that applies here. But oh- she remembers this hallway, she just needs to take a couple of turns up ahead and she should find the door. Success! ]

I'll be out of here in no time.

[ Ha, ha. "Time". ]
