[o1] [video] "hey you surround me like a blanket in my bed"

[divinelyhushed]

[the feed flicks on, and there is a shot of little shiny shoes. the feed is stable for a moment before shaking slightly, as if someone is holding it and giving it a testing rattle. when nothing seems to change, the feed is stationary again on the small shoes. they're shiny, and whomever is wearing them can be seen wearing white stockings as well

Comments

[Video] Hrrr, won't be able to reply till late Friday, but putting this here.

[key_destination]

...Did you just arrive here?

[Of course he's a little curious as to why she had to write that note, but he's trying to get a better look at her feed's background to find out where she is first.]

[Video] i'll wait~

[divinelyhushed]

[she hesitates, slightly surprised that she received a respons. and what's more, it's like a little television that's talking to her...]

[ah, he's talking to her -!!]

[hesitantly, the blond nods twice.]

[Video] <3

[key_destination]

Okay, that makes sense. Can you show me a little more of the area around? I can probably come find you once I figure out where you are, if you want. [Not that he would open a dark corridor right next to her, buuut--]

[Video]

[divinelyhushed]

[but something like that, eh?]

[she pulls the forge away from her a bit and shows the feed to the rest of the world, which results in being the public market place.]

[yetsleeping]

...lost?

You're new, then.

[divinelyhushed]

[she's giving the forge a rather sheepish look, hesitant to respond to it or much more than hold it.]

[but she nods slowly after a moment.]

[yetsleeping]

Do you need help? And... do you have a name?

[divinelyhushed]

[she nods YES. she is in need of some help.]

[and she nods YES that she has a name - but then quickly shakes her head no because...she can't tell her.]

[swordofmiltia]

Losing yourself in this city is an easy task.

Did you need help?

[ video ]

[divinelyhushed]

[ w - well...! she doesn't feel it's very appropriate to accept. she might...impose. or trouble in some way.]

[but she is lost. very lost.]

[so, albeit hesitantly, the blond nods once, nervously crumpling up that 'lost' piece of paper in her hands.]

[ video ]

[swordofmiltia]

Please, read this. It will tell you more about this place.

If you need anything more, you are free to ask.

[ video ]

[divinelyhushed]

[there is a long pause - lengthy as she reads the provided information.]

[and yeah. yeah, she has a question. and unfurls the crumpled piece of paper in order to scrawl; ]

why?

video;

[thenobledie]

Fortunately, you have a map.

[divinelyhushed]

[she feels a little chastised, and it shows upon her features. Nill dips her head and shakes her head.]

[there may have been one. but she didn't look for, or find it.]

video;

[thenobledie]

[it's okay, nill. shirley is mean to everyone. ):]

Look for it in the device you are using.

video;

[divinelyhushed]

[oh this device?]

[she flicks her gaze back to the feed of this lady and then down, and jabs a few buttons.]

[but those buttons don't work. so she sort of shakes the forge a little.]

[video]

[firebornfidelis]

[Riza looks concerned and... almost apologetic.]

I'm afraid you may be. This place is called Anatole.

[video]

[divinelyhushed]

[that's not really what she wanted to hear, and she nibbles her lower lip. there's the temptation to cry, but she doesn't, instead flicking her wings and scribbling on that piece of paper.]

[it reads; ]

why?

[video]

[firebornfidelis]

Why are you here? I'm sorry, I couldn't say. But you aren't alone. A lot of people here are lost just like you are.

[And a pause. Experience has made her somewhat better at this than she might have been before coming to Anatole.]

Are you mute? Is that why you have to write everything down?

[video]

[divinelyhushed]

[just like her? as in lost? young? fourteen? scientifically altered? blond?]

[...really really lost?]

[after a moment - slightly lost in thought - she nods at the question. for emphasis, the little blond touches her lips and shakes her head again.]
