1st Severed String [Voice/Action]

[lostherstrings]

[When the last strains of music faded, Edel opened her eyes to find herself in a place she'd never seen before. She'd destroyed herself before coming here, she was certain of that. Yet this felt less like some form of afterlife and more like... a second chance

[[...Is that--?]]

[knights_quill]

[[...Is this even possible?]]

...You.

Ahiru is no longer here.

[lostherstrings]

[Having already been told of his presence, Edel isn't surprised to hear him, nor does she find it odd he would be surprised to meet her here, considering.]

So I have heard. Have you been here for very long?

[knights_quill]

I estimate a couple of months.

[[He hesitates before speaking again.]]

How...?

[[Is she from an earlier point in time?]]

[lostherstrings]

I believe the unusual properties of this place are responsible. My last memories prior to encountering a music box are of Tutu and Mytho dancing a pas de deux.

[knights_quill]

[[...So she was taken after sacrificing herself.]]

I see.

...The key around your neck designates where you're meant to reside for now.

[lostherstrings]

A key? Oh.

[Unlike the seal, she hadn't noticed the slighter weight of the chain holding a key around her neck until Fakir pointed it out. And honestly, it hadn't occurred to her that she'd need a place to live, even though she wouldn't have been able to be drawn back into the inner workings of the story from here even if she hadn't severed that connection herself before she came here. She drew out a golden clover-shaped key and read the inscription on it.]

...402 Andersen Street.

[knights_quill]

...Hn.

[[It seems that this place enjoys sticking him with those from his world.]]

Where are you now? You're staying in the same cottage as I am.

[[...He supposes that she's supposed to have Ahiru's room.]]

[lostherstrings]

I'm still in the place I arrived at. It looks to be a governmental building, and I'm near a golden archway.

[knights_quill]

I'll escort you here. You can get settled.

[lostherstrings]

All right. Thank you, Fakir.
