[The feed at first reveals a young elven woman looking simply distraught.]

My... My bow... [But that distraught expression quickly turns to rage] Where. Is. My. BOW?!

I swear, in Grovy and Yugo are playing with it again, I'll-- I'll!

[She sighs, pinching her brow to regain her composure.] Eugh, I don't even want to think about what I'll do to

[So many new people this round, geez]

The people in charge of this place take our weapons when they bring us here. So your bow is probably wherever mine is.

Wait. You know Amalia? [Actually, judging by the way she's talking, she's probably from the same world as Amalia. Interesting]

[Another archer? She's heard of human archers before, but she's also heard that they're not as accomplished as Cra. Still, at least someone understands.]

[But as much as she wants to interrogate her about this and the location of her bow, Amalia comes first.]

Yes. I'm her body guard. Where did you last see her, ma'am?

[artemisaim]

[Body guard? Oh thank god. Trying to keep Amalia out of trouble is hard work, man. Besides, maybe someone from home will cheer the poor thing up]

She should be in her room. 15C if you want to go see her. I'm sure she'll be happy to see someone from home. She's been having a bad week. Well, we all have, but I'm more concerned about Amalia than anything.

[garde_du_corps]

A week? No, you must be mistaken. We were only just teleported here, wherever "here" is.

[Still, she takes a mental note of the room, and starts walking, looking for anything that may indicate she's going in the right direction.]

[artemisaim]

I'd like to say I was, but I'm not. Amalia and I have both been here for about two months now.

I guess an explanation would be helpful. This place is called the Facility. Creative name, right? Basically, it's a lab. The people in charge are capable of pulling anyone from any universe in existence. They're also capable of messing with time, which is why you only just arrived but Amalia's been here for two months. [Not even getting into the clone thing right now]

[garde_du_corps]

Two...months? That's impossible. We were only just together. There's no way that I was out for two months!

[But now she's worried, because Amalia has apparently been on her own for two months. She needs to get to 15C as soon as possible. Eva listens silently with a troubled expression.]

Ogrest's chaos... That could only be something a god could do. Xelor, perhaps? But why? It couldn't be related to Nox. Ugh... [She massages her brow again, but asks clearly,] How has Amalia been? Has she gotten into trouble?

[artemisaim]

I wish I was lying. But like I said, the people in charge can manipulate time as much as they want. It's completely annoying but also true.

Well, she's Amalia. I'm learning that trouble is kind of just something she manages to find. But I've been managing to keep her relatively safe. Last week though...a lot of us got hurt pretty badly. I sent some medics to her though and she's doing okay now. She's mostly just been moody. And stubborn.

[garde_du_corps]

[Eva smiles fondly until the mention of her getting hurt.] What were the nature of the injuries?

[artemisaim]

She wouldn't tell me. I went to see her yesterday and I think the damage was to her stomach and shoulders, since she's been trying to cover them up. Like I said, I sent medics to her so the injuries should be mostly healed. I've been trying to tell her it's okay to admit something's wrong and that I'm going to worry over her no matter what but...well, you know.

[garde_du_corps]

I do.

[But now it's all the more important to actually see her.]

Thank you, though. It sounds like you've been watching out for her.

[artemisaim]

I've been trying, believe me. Hopefully seeing a friend from home will cheer her up.

If Amalia's not in her room, she's probably in the biodome. I know she likes it out there. But she's most likely in her room. Oh, and, if you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them. My name's Kate.

[garde_du_corps]

Thank you, Kate. I'm Evangelyne, but I guess I already said that in that first message.

[She smiles briefly, but can't help but to ask] Er, would there happen to be a map of this place?

[artemisaim]

[And Eva gets a small smile in return] Nice to meet you, Evangelyne.

Hmm, I think there is. Hang on, give me a minute and I'm sure I can find it. [And a minute later she sends Eva  this]

Hopefully that's helpful. It was the best I could find.

[garde_du_corps]

[She looks at the map, and her expression falls as she thinks "this is like something Grovy would make."]

Mm, thank you. I'd prefer a more accurate one, but this will have to do.

This doesn't seem like a very big place.

[artemisaim]

Yeah, sorry about that. It was made by one of the healers and he's kind of...goofy. But it's the best we've got.

It isn't, especially once you get used to the layout. It's pretty hard to get lost but, believe me, some people manage. And I should mention that sometimes they send us to different places, but it's still very much a part of the Facility.

[garde_du_corps]

It's better than nothing, so for that, I'm grateful.

[She smiles lightly trying to just not think about the troublesome parts] Getting lost shouldn't be a problem. Er, once I've seen the place, at least. What are the other places like?
